A GREAT MANY PEOPLE
HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT
The Last War Between United
States and Mexico, DecIar.
ed May 10, 1916.

War against Mexico was formally
declared by the United States May
10, 1916, the House voting ia to
IA; the Senate 40 to 2. Ten days
later Mexico formally declared war
against the United States. The
whole number of Americans engag-
ed in the war-regulars and volun-
teers was 1O1,2S2. One thousand
and forty-nine were killed, 500 died
of wounds, and 1920 were wound
ed. Before the formal declaration
of war, there were several ,conflicts,
the most notable Ressaca de la Pal
ma, May 3. The battle of Monterey
was fought September 21-2S, Gen.
Taylor commanding $500 men
against an army of 10000 Mexicans.
February 22 and 23, 1S47, Taylor
fought the battle of Buena Vista,
with 400 men, defeating Santa
Anna with 1900 men. March 20
29 Scott captured Vera Cruz, COM
handing an army of 10000. April
II he fought the battle of Cerro
Gordo with $500 troops against
Santa Anna and 10000 troops.
Worth, August 20, fought the battle
of Churubusco with 5000 men
against Santa Anna with $4,000
men, defeating the Mexican General.
September s, Gen. Worth fought the
battle of I'll Moline del Rey, with
$500 men, beating Santa Anna with
$4,000 men. September 10, Gen.
Scott at Chepaultepec, with 1900
men beat Santa Anna with $4,000
men and on September IA, he cap
tured the city of Mexico The treaty
of peace was signed February 2,
1913.
The MeXicans are good soldiers
and brave men, but misgovern-
ment demoralizes whole nation
and develops a lack of soldiers and
commanders as well as a lack of
statesmen. Said Marlborough to
some captured French soldiers: eff
your master had many like you
could not defeat him." The re-
spouse came from one of the SOL
diers: What our master needs is

and the books of companies gone
over to see If there are any combi-
nations or conspiracies in restraint
of trade. In case the investigation
shows that there is no conspiracy,
but that the institution of cold stor-
age results in putting prices up when
food is plentiful and putting them
still higher when food is scarce, it
may be that McReynolds will take a
hand in the movement to reduce the
cost of living by recommending leg
islation to give relief.

THE MYSTERY OF
HIGH COST LIVING
DefiantIy Continues To
Remain UnsOlved,
DESPITE THE new TARIFF LAW
Cold Storage Plants Will Be
Investigated To See If
Responsible.
PRICES CONTINUE VERY HIGH

Washington, Nov. 29.-Whether
the proprietors of cold storage
plants in the big cities of the United
States have conspired to boost the
prices of some of the principal food
products; whether the rise has been
due to the fact of cold storage per
Sc without any agreement on the
part of the proprietors whatsoever
or whether the natural laws of sup
ply and demand are responsible for
the continued high cost of food, are
questions which will be answered by
a widespread investigation of the
cold storage business which is being
contemplated by the Department of
Justice. Attorney-General McReyA
nolds is considering issuing the or
der within a few days which will set
in motion one of the most remarka-
BILE Investigations ever attempted by
his department-direct at a more
or less definite something which is
being popularity termed the food
trust"
That such trust exists is not yet
asserted by the officials of the de-
partment. Possibly there is po-
litical consideration behind this lat
est investigation. The Democratic
party came into power largely on its
promises to reduce the cost of living
through the enactment of a low tar
if bill. The bill has been enacted,
but with the signing of the law by
the President the prices of some of
the principal articles of food have
gone skyward. That some of the
prices now are the highest ever in
the history of the country is indicat-
ed by a bulletin issued this week by
the Bureau of Labor, one of whose
tasks is to keep the country posted
on the average price of food in the
principal centers. This bulletin shows
that in August, when the last fig
ures were taken, the prices were the
highest in history, and it is declared
at the Department of Justice that
prices are higher now than they
were then.
The investigation of the Bureau
of Labor was made in forty of the
principal cities of the United States,
Cincinnati among them. Taking as
basis the average prices for a ten
year period from 1890 to 1900 in
