CAPTURED CHINESE FLAG
TO FLY IN CHICAGO

Chicago, ILL.,, July S-Captured Chin
ese battle flags are rare, yet one of
them will be prize exhibit at the sew
enteenth national tncampment of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the Unit
ed States, to be held in this city next
month.
The Imperial Order of the Dragon,
an inner organization composed of Of
ficers who served in the Chinese relief
expedition against the Boxers, owns
the flag, which was captured at the
siege OF. Pekin. Last year, when the
veterans held their encampment at De-
troit, number of Chinese residents of
that city made formal demand for the
flag, on the ground that the United
States and the Chinese empire were
never at war. The claim was formally
referred to the State Department and
disallowed.
More than 1000 veterans who served
in Cuba, Porto Rico, China, Guam, and
the Philippines will attend the encamp-
ment, together with about 300 mem
bers of the womens auxiliary.

Cause OF The >.
WAR WITH MEXICO >.
In 1886 =.

The history of the Mexican war of
1846, like that OF every other large
war in which this country has been
engaged, had long prologue, and the
stirring events that precipitated the
conflict as the result of which the
Union acquired New Mexico and Cali
fornia and possession of Texas was
confirmed, had in reality been brew
ing for two decades before the actual
clash of arms came.
On May, IL, 1876, President Polk
sent special message to congress, in
which he asserted: Mexico has pass
ed the boundary of the United States,
and has shed blood upon American
soil. War exists, and exists by the
act of Mexico herself"
When the newspapers printed this
message there was much excitement
all over the country. 1t appeared,
from dispatch from General Zach
ary Taylor, that Mexican force had
crossed the Rio Grande and on April
"a had attached him. Texas was then
disputed territory, over whose posses
sion the United States and Mexico
were contending, and there was a
strong party in the country that did
not approve of American troops being
there at all, and who really believed
that Texas belonged to Mexico.
The origin of the dispute goes as
far back as 1903, when, according to
some statesmen, Texas was ceded to
this country by France. 1t was Sc
distant, so little known and generally
so little regarded in those days that
no steps ever were made by the Unit
ed States to take actual possession.
When, in 1919, Florida was purchased
from Spain, the American commits
sioners, after making a half-hearted
plea that Texas was part of the Louis
lana Purchase of 1903, agreed to give
up the claim, and a new boundary
was set.
This treaty with Spain had not
been ratified when in 1921 the Span
ish possessions in North America re-
volted and Mexico established an in
dependent government, claiming Jur-
isdiction over virtually all we know
as Texas today. Meanwhile, howev-
er, Americans who were far-seeing
and who believed that the Texas ter
ritory belonged to the United States
had come out to the new land in num-
bers, soon bringing the population to
point where the MeXicans were in
the minority.
The first constitution of Texas as
member of the Mexican union pro
vided for the gradual abolition of
slavery. and the constitution of 1927
actually prohibited the importation of
slaves. but the American immigrants
that began to flow in brought with
them their human chattels. Being in
the majority, the American settlers
decided to adopt a constitution of
their own permitting slavery within
the states domain and separating
Texas and setting it up as independ-
ent from its neighboring province of

Coahuila, with which it was consti-
tuted as commonwealth.
The Mexican government, under
the sway then OF the dictator Santa
Anna, ignored the claims of the Amer
ican settlers, who went ahead and or
ganized a state in defiance of it.
Slaves were brought in, and in 1886
Texas formally seeded from the Mex
lean union and declared Texan inde-
pendence. The United States. Eng
land, France and Belgium recognized
Texas an an independent state, and
with this recommendation the new re-
public of Texas knocked at the door
of the United States for admission to
the Union.
Then followed the long fight for
and against such admission, for it
meant the widening of slave territory.
The question came up in congress
session after session. Meanwhile
Mexico had not relinquished her
rights to possession, and in 1S43,
when the subject was reaching a
crisis in congress, issued a warning
to the United States that an act ad-
mitting Texas TO the Union would be
regarded as a signal for war on her
part. This threat did not deter the
party at the back of the project, how
ever, and at the following session OF
congress the act of annexation was
finally adopted. Texas was annexed
to the Union December 29. 1S45.
At the same time President Polk
ordered General Taylor to proceed to
occupy the disputed territory lying
between the Nueces river and the Rio
Grande, while General Almonte, the
Mexican minister at the time, pro-
tested to the American government
that the act of annexation was ''the
most unjust act recorded in history"
and demanded his passports.
Though it was evident that a state
Of war existed by inference, several
weeks elapsed before actual engage
ments occurred between the Ameri-
can army of occupation and the Mex
leans resolved upon making resist
ance. After some skirmishing, fol-
lowing the attack made in April up
on Gen. Taylor's men near Matamor-
as, the first real engagement of the
war was fought May s, 1916 at Palo
Alto. War was declared formally by
the American government only five
days later, though the conflict be-
tween the two opposing armies had
been seriously raging constantly in
the interval.
The Mexican war came to an end
with the victorious entry of General
Scott into the City of Mexico Sept. IA,
1S47. Peace was signed Feb. 2, 184S.
Under its terms Mexico ceded the
provinces of New Mexico and Cali
fornia and gave up all claim to Texas,
the Rio Grande being established as
the southern boundary of the United
States. This little essay in war cost
Uncle Sam 156,OOO,OOO in actual ex-
penses, to say nothing of pensions,
and besides sl5,OOO,OOO paid Mexico
for the ceded provinces. The loss of
life on the American side was esti-
mated at 5000.

ties for work in the kingdom with
those of more mature years.
Owing to the unavoidable absence
of Rev. Henry Gambler Of Mansfield,
who was expected to make the re.
sponse to the address OF welcome, the
response was dispensed with and DR..
w. f. Sheridan of Chicago, the gener-
al secretary of the league, addressed
the convention upon the aims and
progress Of the league.
Or. Sheridan declared that there
were four stages in the religious
development of youth, namely: the
stage of instruction, during which
period the child's training was of an
historical nature with reference to
the Bible.
The second stage the speaker call
ed the stage of conversion, or the
time when the youthful mind was
ready and willing to accept the Saw
iour.
The third period was called the
time of devotional self-expression.
"The value of self-eXpression in the
fight for souls cannot be overestimat-
ed" said the speaker, who gave an
apt illustration of its practical work
ing in the experience of Billy Sunday
while he was holding revival meet
ings in Brooklyn, N. Y, in the way
the energetic evangelist won to his
support the antagonistic newspaper
men of New York city when called
upon to make speech before a meet
ing of these men, who had been criti-
cising his methods through the col
umns of their papers. Rev. Sunday
completely won their support by tell
ing of his own conversion at meet
ing of mission workers in Chicago
while he was member Of the base
ball team in the Windy City.
Personal initiative in the service
of the Lord was the fourth topic TAX
en- up by the speaker and the effects
of ones personality in soul-winning
was dwelt upon in highly interest
ing and inspiring manner. The work
of the Epworth League teams and the
"Win-My-Chum" campaigns of the
league were mentioned in this connec-
tion.

cal high school sang, open the

ing of Onward Christian Soldiers"
and the benediction.
Friday Morning
The session of Friday morning was
opened by Rev Austin Philpott. D. D.,
Of Delaware, o., who conducted sac
ramental services.
At $3.50 o'clock, reports from the diff
ferent department conferences of
Thursday afternoon were read. These
were followed by thorough discus
sion of each.
The session concluded with an ad-
dress by Probate Judge P. L. Wilkins
on the subject, "Child Welfare" Judge
Wilkins work in the juvenile court
has brought him into intimate contact
with many of the problems of child-life
and his talk was both interesting and
instructive.

No doubt it would be a matter of
news and interest to your readers to
know something about the reunion of
the ex-pupils that is being held this
week at the Home. Over four hundred
have registered up to this morning and
one hundred or more are expected to

The reunion begun on Tuesday and
will continue until tonight. All other
reunions that / have ever attended
looks like 80 cents beside this one. A
brighter set of people than those as
sembled here could scarcely be found
in the state, the greater part of them
having graduated from the high school
of the home in the past thirty years
and the manner in which they conduct
themselves and their greetings when
they meet show the high appreciation
they have for each other after years of
absence from the home These pupils
