 decision was made necessary in order to cover the legal procedure in dealing with numerous incidents con- nected with the punitive expedition of United States troops into Mexico, the nature of these incidents. various of lenses committed by United States soldiers demanding that the judge ad- vocate generals office should define the status of the Mexican campaign.
 In the decision. the judge advocate general quotes the definition of war in Vattels Law of Nations" as being that state of affairs in which we prosecute our rights by force. The decision then recites:
 Tt is thus apparent that under the law there need be no formal declaration of war but that under the definition of Nattel a state of war exists, so far as concerns the operations of the United States troops in Mexico, by reason of the fact that the United States is prosecuting it's rights by force of arms and in a manner of which a war is usually conducted. The statutes which are operative only during a period of war have been interpreted as relating to a condition and not a theory.
 q am therefore of the opinion that while war is not recognized as existing between the United States and Mex ico the actual conditions under which the field operations in Mexico are being conducted are those of actual war; that within the field of operations of the
