troops were on sea for comfortless
weeks before landing. This was be-

not until thirteen days later was the

and field guns complete.
The bombardment from all direc-

from the water side with the heavy

with greater vigor for four days, at
the end of which time the foreign
Consuls prevailed with the Mexicans
to suspend hostilities, and on March

The taking of Vera Cruz by Amer

was different matter.
Santa Anna had abundant notice
Rof the danger of his chief seaport,
and it was garrisoned by a fairly
strong force. At the close of lS45,
the American 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 administration, for
political reasons, disliEed to support
either Taylor or Scott too zealously,
but as between the two favored Tay-
Tor at first because he was unambi-
tons.
Scott's army of $1,000 was made
up in part of men drawn from lay

her own son. 1t means that the
youth claimed as their son will re-

more than a year ago, and that
Julia Anderson, now i'll in a New

she testified at the trial that the boy
was her own.
The finding of the jury does not

Bryan Versus Roosevelt in 1916?

In the May American Magazine
Ray Siannard Baker, the famous
journalist, writes an interesting
article about Woodrow Wilson in
which he compares him with Roose-
welt and Taft. explains the reasons
for his extraordinary success. and
gives an excellent statement of the
progress that he has made.
With respect to the political pro-
spects for 1916 Mr.. Baker says:
81 have been talking thus far
about thinkers. | wish now to de-
scend from this rarifed atmosphere
and, while still speaking of Mr.. Will
son, deal for moment in that popu
lar Washington beverage known as
dope"
Dope is edging its way irresisti-
bly, into our language. | even find
it set down soberly ('slang, AM" in
my new Standard Dictionary. 1t
may be used both as a noun and as
verb. 1t fills long-felt want; it
is convenient word to express those
viscous and gummy cerebrations
that stop this side of thought.
Dope is peculiarly relished at Wash
ington. They swallow any quantity
there without blinking; they even
make punches Of it and serve it to
the diplomatic corps. 1t has a some
what 81 ntler soporific than rurple
lemonade, it induces slight itching
st the apex of the Uranium, and
causes hardened drinkers to lay one
thumb on the tip Of the nose and
wriggle the lesser digits.

low concerning the Presidential cam
paiRn of 1916 in this learned man
ner that they may not be taken too
seriously.

this is the dope which is now being
'doped out in Washington.
why Bryan? Mr.. Wilson has
shown an extraordinary loyalty in
carrying out the provisions in the
platform Of the Ba timore Convent
ion. That platform contains plank
fsvoring a single presidential term
and pledging the candidate Of the
convention Of this principle. Mr..
Wilson will therefore not be a candi-
