the social game correctly.
Consequently, the last seven days have

also is growing in popularity, especially
with the Americans.

to the relationship Of the Flying Squadron to the

impression that the Flying Squadron is the Ma

positively wrong one.

National Prohibition at the Columbus Convention.

derstand just what they are doing in their assistance

1t absolutely necessary to call attention to the fact
that this is in way associated with

any other organization have objection hut
the question naturally arises you do support this
and then afterward desire law enforcement
in your community and legislation within your state
where must you turn for this assistance? If you de
sire National Prohibition through Congress would
you turn to the Flying Squadron go to the National
Anti-Saloon League organization with headquarters
at Washington with a legislative superintendent on
the ground all the time doing that work. If you pay
your money to the Flying Squadron can you expect
them secure for you state legislation and National
Prohibition. If they cannot do this they cannot,
friends should not give their cooperation and
support to movement which in way assists i'll

 Tt was entirely true of all the new regiments called regulars of ali the volunteers and eight or ten of the rank and file of the old regiments
 Officers Pay Increased.
 Thirty three and a third per cent. was added to the pay of the Ameri- can officers and men retained as the nucleus of the Mexican army
 "The Mexicans knew that the men in my army would be entitled to their discharge. They supposed if they could obtain my services I would retain these 12,000 or 15,000 men and that I could easily obtain 100000 men from home. The hope was that it would immediately cause annexation.

 We possessed all the fortresses. all the arms of the country, their cannon foundries and powder manu- factories and had possession of their ports of entry, and might easily have held them in our possession if this arrangement had gone into ef- feet.
 "A published pronunciamento would have brought congress right over to us, and with these 15,000 Americans holding the fortresses of the country, all Mexico could not have disturbed us. We might have been there to this day if it had been necessary.

SCOTT MIGHT HAVE RULED MEXICO Sixty-fve Years Ago General Was
 Offered Berth by Natives.

Chicago. July 22.-That General tator or a crowned king in Mexico is not generally known to this genera tion, for it was more than sixty-fve years ago the dramatic incident occurred.
 When the Stars and Stripes were hung over the halls of the Monte zumas in 1847, General Scott, com mander-in-ch chief of the American army, was offered the dictatorship of that country At public dinner in Sandusky, Ohio, in 1852, General Scott made his only reference to the matter in terms about as follows:
 Impression Was Wrong.
 'I have nowhere seen it correctly stated that an offer was made to me to remain in that country (Mexico) and govern it. The impression which generally prevails that the proposition emanated from congress is an er- roneous one.
 "The overture was made to me privately by men in and out of office, of great infuence-five of whom, of enormous wealth, offered to place the bonus of, $1,OO0,0OO mentioned below to my credit in any bank I might name, either in New York or London.
 ''On taking possession of the City of Mexico our system of government and police was established, which, as the inflab bitants themselves confessed, gave security-for the first time perfect and absolute security-to person and property.
 Inhabitants Were Desirors.
 About two-fifths of all the branches of government, including nearly a majority of the members of congress and the executive, were quite de- sircus of having that country annexed to ours. They knew that upon the ratification of the treaty of peace nineteen out of twenty of the persons belonging to the American army
