clared there would bo no war between
the United States and Mexico unless
tho United States should send further
punitive expedition into Mexico"
In some quarters the telegram was
interpreted as forecasting q baek-dewn
on the part Of the frat chief.
In military circles Il is agreed that
the American defense against the
slightest Mexican aggression win be a
swift and sharply executed offensive.
Indications which piled up from var

point to the probability that u inter
