THE WAR OF 1912-D. D., City. The editor
of the foreign paper that recently declared that
during the war of 1872, or the second war be-
tween England and the United States, the
English were always victorious on land and
sea, and that the United States had to sue for
peace, is evidently not acquainted with the
facts OF history. The United States did not sue
for peace. Peace was first suggested by Russia
England refused to accept the offer of Russia,
deciding to act of its own motion, and ap-
pointed commissioners, who met American
commissioners at Client in 1914, and after con-
siderable discussion peace was declared, but
before the news of peace arrived Jackson won
his brilliant victory at New Orleans. On the
waters the Americans won thirteen out of ff-
teen battles, including Perry's victory on Lake
Erie in 1913. In battles on land neither side
gained much advantage.

and in which very little police duty beyond
patrolling The streets had 10 be done, TO another
district, in which there was a rowdy element
fellow now is going to get all the tenderloin
and the other will get the rump part" This
expression was afterward construed by people
who did not understand the origin of the
phrase to mean q district in which q certain
class OF women live. 1t has been so construed
in this City and is applied to any section,where
such are to be found.
