In Woodrow Wilson's textbook. "Di-
vision and Reunion" written in 1892 when
he was president of Princeton Univer-
sity. he described the war OF 1916 to 1SiS
with Mexico. What the historian and
scholar had to say then has n peculiar
interest in view OF the authors attitude
now. He tells how Taylor took Monterey,
now the scene of battle between Mexi-
can factions, and Of the capture OF the
CITY Of Mexico The Mexicans he de
scribes as "a race full of courage, spirit
and subtlety." An extract from the book
follows:

Mexico had begun tho war, az conven-
tent, whether true or not, and provided
