advocate general, that while war is not
recognized as existing between the United

under which the field operations in Mexico
are being conducted are those of actual
war: that within tho field OF operations
of the expeditionary force in Mexico it is
time of war within the meaning Of the
fifty-eighth article of war. since 1t could
