Uncle Sam in Mexico

bestowed upon the operations of Scott
in the south.
Scott arrived at Vera Cruz on
March 8, 1S47, with has army OF in
vasion. He lander three division of
about 1000 men between sunset
and 10 o'clock that night and began
to place his batteries of 10-inch NOR
tors so that they would command the
Notifications of the port. Having
called upon the governor to surrender,
he began to lombard the forts on
March "a. On the 27th overtures for
a surrender were made and on March
30 the American flag floated over the
forts.
Then hogan Scotts work of cutting
his way to the City of Mexico in the
interior of a high national road,
treacherous way through the noun
tains, and his progress was stopped
daily. Several heavy engagements
were fought and the incessant fight
ing and the heat so decimated the
gallant American host that by the
time he reached the outskirts OF the
capital, Scott found that his effect
ives numbered little more than 5000
men.
The assault on the Mexican CAPT
tai began in September. On Septem-
Der ~ was fought the desperate bat
tie for the fortress of Chapultepec,
where the Mexicans made their last
stand The fighting was dramatic
and determined, but finally the
Notifications and the city lay before
them.
On the morning of September IA,
1847, Scott, at the head of his vic
torious troops, marched into the City
of Mexico The war was at an end.
Peace was signed at Guadalupe Hidal-
go Febrday 2, 184S. Under its terms,
Mexico coded the provinces of New
Mexico and California, for which the
Unitel States agreed to pay her $15,-
100000, and gave up all claims to Tex
as, recognizing the Rio Grand as the
southern boundary of Uncle Sans do
main.

On December 29, 1S45, Texas, after
the long wrangle between the united
States and Mexico regarding its pollt-
ical status and ownership, was formal
w annexed to the American union by
an act of congress. Immediately Pres
ident Polk ordered General Zachary
Taylor to proceed to occupy the dis
puted territory between the Nueces
river and the Rio Grande. Something
-resembEng~a state-of war existed from
then on, though actual hostilitIes be-
tween the American troops and the
Mexicans did not open till the follow
ing April, when all hope of avoiding
conflict had been abandoned by
President Polk.
On April "a, 1916, General Taylor
sent out a party OF 81 dragon TO
watch the course of he Rio Grande
above Matamoras. The dragons were
watched by the MexiCans, surprised
and either killed or captured. This
was the first collision of the war.
Other skirmishes followed, though
the United States was yet unaware
of being at war. On May 8, the first
real engagement of the war, that OF
Palo Alton, was fought. In this bat
file the Mexicans outnumbered the
Americans almost three to one, Gen.
TAYLOR having at most $500 men
and The neXicans numbering about
1000. Losses were heavy on both
sides, and the battle was continued
the next day at Resaca de la Palma,
with heavy Mexican losses and the
advantage remaining with Uncle
Sans men. The bombardment OF the
two fields before Matamoras by the
American army lasted 1853 hours, or
exactly d week, which up to this
time was almost record for artil-
lery A few days later, President
Polk, having received dispatches from
the border, informed congress that
state of actual war existed between
the two countries, and the formal de-
claration of war by the United States
ON Mexico followed on May IS, 1916.
Rapid Preparations Made.
Rapid preparations for carrying
on the war were made. General Win
field Scott, the head of the army,
was called in the numerous consulta-
lions that followed, and an army
the largest the United States had
ever had under arms at one time up
to that period, was recruited. Before
the war ended the United States had
in arms in all services $4,000 men,
including $1,000 volunteers.
Leaving Taylor to fight his way
into Mexico, Scott after having form
ed an cxpeditionary force, sailed for
Vera Cruz in November, 1916, to take
supreme command of all the armies
in the field. Taylor was working his
way through northern Mexica, while
it was SCOTS plan to make desperate
journey across the tablelands and
mountains to the capital using Vera
Cruz as his base.
Taylor fought a big and decisive
battle at Beuna Vista on February
%, 1S47, against $4,000 Mexicans
led by Santa Ana. Part of his troops
had been sent to reinforce Scott,
and for a time the tide seemed to
turn against the American arms.
The final routing of Santa Ana, how
ever, settled the conquest of northern
Mexico, and all attention was now

the Lubin Film Company to with
draw "Their Mother" a two-reel

vent its appearance.
The circular letter describes the
film as follows:

Suddenly two peasants, known
as hooligans in the village, appeared
at the threshold of my room and

this incident to the police authori-

street at the time. Entering my
room, the police authorities saw me
sitting on the ground and reading
my book. They arrested me, with
out permitting me to end my prayer
and took me to Kamenetzk Podolsk,
to the chief of the gendarmerie. The
chief of the gendarmerie, having
listened to the accusation made
against me by the informants and
to my defense, laughed at the Incl

He assured me that nothing would
