MEXICO DECLARED WAR
 AGAINST UNITED STATES

NIXTY NINE YEARS ago today Mexico dy- Ao clared war against the United States. and thus began the conflict that was to result in loss of a large and the most valuable part of the territory of the Mexican republic Near ly a year passed, however, before hostIities ac- Etually commenced, and it was not until May IS, 1846, that the United States answered Mexicos s defiance with a declaration of James
 Knox Polk had been inaugurated just three months: before, and two days later the Mexican
 minister demanded his passports. revolu- ton in Mexico, however, kept the government we'll occupied, and it was not until President Paredes had overthrown President Herrere that
 4exico was in a position to put it's threat of war into effect. In the meantime President Polk had sought to avert war, and to arrange for a peaceful purchase of the disputed Texas terri- tory and also of California John Slidell, af- terward involvad in famous incident of the war between North and South, was the John
 Lind of the period, but all his efforts were vain and he was never officially recognized by the Mexican government While SlideH was car rying on his negotiations in d845, President
 Polk was preparing for war by sending troops to the Texas border and squadrons to the Gulf and Pacific coasts, and when Mexico scommenc- l ed hosElities the United States was ready for the issue.

CENTENARK OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL
 CHARTER ADOPTED BY LOUIS XVIII.

TUST A CENTURY ago to-day Louis XVIII aJ the Bourbon monarch who had been restored to the throne of France after the down fall of Napoleon, signed with reluctant pen the new constitution of the country which he claimed to rule by divine right The Char ta or "Charte Constitutionelle, had been pre- sented to the king over a week beforey but at first he refused to sign it. It was a poor, fu- tile constitution compared with the charter of liberty, fraternity, equality formed by the great men of the revolution, but it still Ia constitution, and the Bourbon monarch was averse to any measure. that would limit or de- fine his tdivine right to absolute rulership. It was signed by him only on compulsion of the Car of Russia, who, with all the arrogance of a present-day life insurance agent, placed the quill in the trembling hand of Louis and com-s nanded, with air of authority that brooked no refusal, Sign here.' And the craven Louis dominated utterly by the masterful Gzar of the Russias, attached his royal signature to the doc ument.
 When Napoleon left France for Elba he Inadvertently declared: '"The Bourbons may put France at peace with Europe, but how will they l put her at peace with themselves ?''> The weak and fatuous Louis, great in nothing but sil- 1 ly vanity, accepted the constitution because he was forced to do so, but in every way possible he immediately proceeded to ignore it. He act ed as if the tremendous events of the revolution l and the empire had never happened Within l a short time he had succeeded in alienating even the most devout royalists, save those
 fawnihg few who permitted to pick crumbs from under the royal table.
 When Napoleon returned from Elba the cowardly Louis, thinking first and always of his precious life, fled in terror and waited un- I til the English and Prussians had defeated Ma poleon before returning to France
 It was at the time when Louis XVIII was I so reluctantly granting constitution to ''his people that the saying arose: "The Bourbons have forgotten nothing and they have learned nothing'' The lessons of the revolution were
 utterly lost, not alone upon Louis of France, but
 upon the Bourbon Kings of Spain and Naples,
 who were weaker and more fatuous if possible, than the French monarch.
