COST OF WAR
WITH MEXICO.

Major Hemphill, Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, has gotten together some
very interesting data bearing on our
last war with Mexico. In a letter ap-
pearing in Fridays issue of the Ledg-
ernie says: - go - :.
"The war lasted within q few days
of two years. First and last, 100000
Americans were engaged in Mexico.
The Northern States furnished 22.136
volunteers and the Southern States
1928. The Northerners generally
enlisted for the war; the Southerners
for one, year or less term Twenty
Thousand men lost their lives More
died of disease than we're killed In
battle; one authority reckoned that
the proportion was about S to 1. 1t
was stated in speech delivered in
Congress that the number of men dis
charged on account of sickness or dis
ability was at the rate of about SO
per cent a year. Multitudes of the
Mexicans perished. In two years not
less than 100000 lives were sacrificed
on both sides. The climate was
against the soldiers of both armies
in the 6eld-the climate has not
changed. Is it any wonder that the
President should prefer to settle the
present disturbed conditions in Mexi-
co by peaceahle rather than warlike
means? This is the human side Of
the war with Mexico. There IS an
other side-the business size The
direct expenditures on account of this
war amounted to s106,25S,O0Q. This,
said Mr.. Livermore. is the sum of the
positive expenditures. independent OF
the endless array of bounties. pen
sions and claims which will now pou,
ike the Gulf Stream into Congress
The indirect expenditures amounted
to fully as much as the direct expen-
ditures SO that this war cost the
United States, directly and injl
rectly, at a moderate computation
5000. 100000, and it cost Mexico. di,
rectly and indirectly, an equal sum
Beside the loss Of life and the de,
struction of property, there were
crimes committed by the invading
American army that can be compared
only to the most horrible atrocitie!

KILLED BY TRAIN

Run Down by Rock Island
Passenger Engine.

Alfred Balls Of Ottumwa, Iowa, en-
ployed as a bridge carpenter on the
Rock Island, was struck and instantly
killed by train No. so this morning at
1870 a few miles east of Muscatine.
The remains were brought to this city
and are being cared for by a local un-
dertaker, after which they will be re-
turned to Muscatine for an inquest.
From all reports Mr.. Balls was re-
sponsible for his own death. He and
the other members Of the bridge crew
were working near Muscatine when
the passenger train approached. He
warned the others of the danger and
left the track. For some reason. not
yet explained, he suddenly stepped
back on the track and was struck,
death resulting instantly. Mr.. Balls
was hard of hearing and this may
have had something to do with his
death.
The deceased was about so years
Of age and has wife and two daugh-
ters living at Ottumwa. The widow
has been notified and the funeral ar
rangements cannot be completed until
her arrival.
