TNllE war between the United

with the Battle Of Palo Al
to. May s, 1916, and closed with
General SCOTS triumphant entry
into Mexico City, September a.
1S47. 1t Will thus be seen that
the contest lasted a year and four
months.
The war, once begun, was rap
idly fought on against enormous
numbers and great natural OBJ
stacles. Most OF the Mexican
troops were regulars. well drilled
and thoroughly seasoned to the
climate; and vet not once
throughout the war did Mexico
score a victory
In courage the MeNicans proved
to be the equal of any soldiers
that ever stood upon battle
aeld. but the superiority of the
American as battle winner was
demonstrated all along the line.
The American army of inva-
sion numbered $4,000 volunteers,
backed by 10000 regulars. The
strength of the MeXicans was
much greater about three times
that of the invaders.
The Actual Fighting.
The Americans lost, in battle,
about 5000 men, and from the
ravages of the climate about
10000 making their total casual
ties around 20,oOO--about one
third of the losses of the single
battle Of Gettysburg.
The Mexican losses have never
been known with eXactitude; but
they We're heavy probably ex-
ceeding 10000.

Reads Questions From Lips at
Meeting of South Georgia
Boosters at Triton.

Triton, GA, March GA little deaf
girl eight years old, who has been at
tending a deaf and dumb school since
she was four, appeared before a meet
ing in Triton yesterday afternoon, called
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of locating a
state school for the deaf and dumb in
south Georgia The little tot stood be-
fore those attending the meeting and
answered the questions of those inter
ested by reading the lips of the speakers.
Delegations were in attendance from
Macon, AshbUrn, NaIdosta, Quitman, and
other south Georgia cities. \ commit
tee Of ten was appointed to canvass the
situation and take the necessary steps
for promoting the establishment of a
school in this section. That it will be
more advisable to secure the establish
ment of a branch school, rather than
move the new one now at Cave Springs
to a more centrally located point was
the opinion of the meeting If a branch
is established, it was the general opinion
of those attending the meeting, Triton
is the logical point for its location.

a.. A. Proctor asphalt expert. OF De-

At the last meeting Of the county
board the public works committee rec
commended his appointment at the sal
ary of $4,000 annually. Mr.. Proctor
made il plain that he could not accept
The position at that figure, as he was
being paid something over $1,000 more
by Detroit.

biz later confer with the city about the

In is new to me. as ! have had charge
of the city plant at Detroit and have
done no county work, While haven't
had time to look around as much as l
would like toll would at once favor
the erection of a plant. We have saved
more than S205, geo within the last eight
years at Detroit by owning our plan,
and l naturally think it is the best
method.
Roughly, ! would say there ara
about so miles of paving to be done
in the county. 1t would be cheaper
to erect "A plant with a capacity for
about 1900 yards daily, which would
cost about $4,000. This could do the
patching as well as the surfacing when
smaller plant could only do the
patching.
Il am not partial to any particular
material or method and will give every
company an equal showing, but the
purchasing will probably be left to the
board and not to me.
u am paid about $4,000 by Detroit,
he concluded. which, with some work
do for nearby towns and cities,
swells my salary considerably above
this sum. I would not like to make
a change unless I knew it to be some
thing better.
