will be retained to enforce any demands
upon foreign Governments, and il necessa-

summoned back to the field. It is under

forcement Of the Monroe doctrine. A rat

we have settled our own family affairs
with those Of our sick neighbor, Mexico,

troops into Mexico but must Withdraw the
French and Australian troops now there,
and leave the people Of Mexico to decide
for themselves whether they will have an
Empire or Republic otherwise it viii be
our duty to see that the republicans have
fair play.
