VERA CRUZ IN 1s47

The taking of Vera Cruz by Ameri-
cans troops sixty-seven years ago was
"a different manner.
Santa Anna had abundant notice OF
the danger of his chief seaport, and
it was garrisoned by a fairly strorg
force. At the close of 1S45 the Ameri-
can army had consisted of but 1883
men. Part of these had to be retained
as Indian police, but those who could
be spared formed the nucleus of
Taylor's little army. The Polk admin
istration, for political reasons, dis
liked to support either Taylor or Scott
too zealously, but as between the
two favored Taylor at first because
he was unambitious.
SCOTS army of $4,000 was made up
in part of men drawn from Taylor's
command, including most of the vet
Grams officers, and in part of volun-
teers sailing from New York, nearly
all recruits. Both from the mouth OF
the Rio Grande and from New York
many sailing ships were used as
transports, and some of the troops
were on the sea for comfortless weeks
before landing. This was begun near
Vera Cruz March 8, but not until
thirteen days later was the invest
ment of the city with trenches and
field guns complete.
The bombardment from all direc-
lions, Commodore Perry assisting
from the water side with the heavy
guns of the feet, was then. conducted
with greater vigor for four days, at
the end of which time the foreign
consuls prevailed with the Mexicans
to suspend hostillities, and on March
20 the city was formally surrendered.
Twenty days had thus been consumed,
besides the long months of prepare
ton and the slow voyage of the trans
ports.
But once header for Mexico City,
SCOTS progress was a model for mill
tary students in it's celerity.-World.

BELOVED NATIONAL PRESIDENT
ENTERS INTO REST
ION any morning

Think of
Stepping on shore and finding it Hea-
vent
OF taking hold of hand and finding
it Gods hand;
OF breathing new air, and finding it
celestial air:
OF feeling invigorated, and finding 1t
immortality;
OF passing from storm and tempest
to an unknown calm;
OF waking up and finding it Home!"
Before this paper reaches our read
ers the news of the translation of Lii
liam NJ. N. Stevens, the beloved pres
ident of the National Woman's Chris
II ian Temperance Union, and the edi-
tor-in-chief of the Union Signal, will
have come to white ribboners the
world over through the medium of the
press.
/ During the last few months Mrs.
Stevens health has not been as vigor'
Gus as usual, but she has been able
as National w. C. T. U. president to
attend to the great work called for by
the movement inaugurated by the Ma
tional w. C. T. U. for national consti
tutional prohibition. While she has
been in her Portland home she has
been in daily touch with the great
National w. C. T. U. forces at their
Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois
which work is radiating out through
all the nation.
The news that came to her concern
| ing Secretary Daniels order regard
ing prohibition in the navy gave her
great joy. God comfort our hearts
and help us to courageously do our
part in pressing the battle to the
gates of national constitutional prohi-
bition."
In our bereavement, may we COM
fort our hearts with the words of our
beloved leader, spoken at the last
national convention at Asbury Park:
Let us never lose sight of the fact
that God is in the forefront of every
holy conflict, leading the hosts of
right against the citadels of wrong"
In this hour of sore trial and testing,
when we miss most grievously the
one who has led us so wisely and
courageously, let us not forget that
she would have us remember that he
with whom is all power and wisdom is
our leader. Let us press on as she
would have us in our campaign for
nation-wide prohibition.-Union Sig

WALTER M. CHANDLER IS SUED.
Former Client Charges Fraud In
Settlement of Estate.

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court will hear arguments shortly In a
suit for an accounting brought against
Walter NJ. Chandler the only Progressive
I'm the New York delegation In Congress
and a candidate for reelection from tn.
Nineteenth district Chandler is being
sued by Mrs. Florence VI. Myers. a former
client. on the ground that he Induced
her through fraud to assign TO him GER
tain interests in the estate of her hus-
band, Philip V, Myers, lace merchant.
Chandler's defence lis that Mrs. Myers II
barred from suing because she gave him
general release of all claims against
him.
In her complaint Mrs Myers alleges
that before her husband died she visited
Chambers office at his solicitation and
was told by him that he had learned
that she visited a hotel with Myers soma
weeks before she married him and that
II publicity were given to such knowledge
she would be disgraced and her husbands
children by former marriage would have
an advantage over her in the event of
litigation over her husbands estate,
Mrs. Myers alleges that Chandler
frightened her into retaining him as COIN
sci and that as the result of the scttle-
ment Of her husbands estate the attor-
ney received for her benefit SIC, 900 moro
than he has paid 10 her. Chambers de-
fence Is that when Mrs. Myers executed
the general release he paid all that was
due her.
