campaign inaugurated from the American side of the border, and Gen. Zachary Tay- Tor, in his arduous campaign against Monterey and the victory at Buena Vista, General Taylor was confronted with such difficulties in the southern advance thar it was decided to make the principal in- vason of Mexico by way of Vera Cruz. This is the course that eventually must be adopted in present-day attempt to conquer Mexico. Scott had 12,0O0 men and it took him 20 days to reduce Vera Cruz. His force was considerably augmented, however, before, he began his march to- wards Mexico City, which occupied six months. He won great battle at Cerro Gordo and another overwhelming victory later on at the gates of Mexico City. While estimates vary war college experts say that there were only 5000 men on the Mexican side, while on the American side, including troops guarding the bor- der and that portion of the army which was not drawn upon, there were nearly 300000 soldiers all told used during the two years of warfare. Mexico today can raise between 150.OO0 and 100000 men, Mex ico is better fortified today than in the earlier war. Even with recruiting ac- tolerated, the United States does not ex- pect a regular army of more than 105,- 900 men. The mobilization of the Na- tional Guard, however, and it's absorption into the national service, will give force of about 2o0,0o0 men.

into Yuan's presence. My valiant photog- rapher lugged in his paraphernalia. Yuans secretary presented us to the | premier, as he was then. 1 was intro duced first, then came the photographer. | Yuan shook us by the hand in true west | ern style, thing he had but recently picked up. He said something in Chinese l to each of us. My agitated photographer grasped China's greatest man by the hand and thinking that some remark from him was needed, effusively declared:
 why, how do you dol I am very glad to meet you; I have heard lots about you.'
 Had Yuan understood he would cer tainly have been amused Yuan posed all we liked, surrounded by his officers. But only one of the pictures really turned out well, owing to the photogra- pher's nervous temperament.
 In the same pulling l attended Yuan's inauguration as the first President or China It was a rather tense occasion, despite the fact that it was supposed to typify China's new freedom. Shortly after the imperial troops in Peking had mutined For nearly three days they had possession of the town, shooting and burning and footing. That mutiny, too, is a Chinese mystery; no one knows just why it happened. At the time the rebels were demanding that Yuan pro- ceed south to take the oath of office.
 Yuan said that he would but every one knew that he would not if he could get out of it. Then came the mutiny, and,
 of course, it was pleaded that Yuan could not safely leave Picking, for he was the only man who could keep order.
 Perhaps Yuan investigated the mutiny, l do not know. Certain it Is that his troops made the trouble and the courtyard of his great building was filled with loot.
 This mutiny incidentally, was put down
 in a manner typically Yuan's It had
 gone on for more than two days and
 the foreign legations demanded that it
 stop. Yuan sent forth an old general of
 his, a real old-time soldier named
 Chiang Kwei-ti. Chiang, patriarch of
 great height and breadth with long flowing beard that gave him a most be- nevolent appearance, set forth in small ca rriage, being too big for a Chinese pony. He was accompanied by few sol- diers and two executioners with their great knives. He toured Peking and left behind a long trail of headless bodies. The footing thereupon came to an end
 PEKING HAS NERVES
 The mutiny had left Picking in state of nerves. The inauguration came few days later. A number of foreigners Cere there and many Chinese. The palace was infested with soldiers with fixed bayo- nets. The approaches were heavily guarded. No one knew precisely what was going to happen and once when someone set off lot of firecrackers in celebration of the event, the guests were somewhat nervous. However, nothing really did happen and Yuan entered upon the presidency.
 Yuan took this great office, but never did he believe in it. In the course of

CH|NA'S PARTITION WILL FOLLOW DEATH OF FAMOUS YUAN After Checkered Life He Probably Died By His

JAPAN IMPROVES
 HER OPPORTUNITY
Manchus Would Still Be in Favor If They Had Showed Slightest Firmness in Handling
 Situation
Rr PHILIP H. PATcHIN

1 London, July 6.-(Special.)-After Yuan
 Shih-kai what? China has had her share
 of great men-both statesmen and war
 riors. Some have been world great the greatness of others has been limited tc l China But there has been none greater | than the first President of China, who recently died, a natural death officially;
 very likely by poison, by the hand of
 an assassin probably, possibly by his | own.
 l Many great men in China have died l that way. Particularly was this true be- 1 fore the advent of pistol, bomb, and mod ern revolutionaries. Ancient rulers of l China had their troubles. They, too knew revolution and one dynasty re- 1 lieved another Mongol and Tartar hordes swept down from the north. These were
 great events in their day, but concerned the outer world not at all. It was com paratively a few short years ago that China was delivered to the world as a political entity, a huge nation, the largest on earth In the last few years China has undergone greater and more impor- tant things than anything that happened
 during her thousands of years of exist
 ence.
 The Manchus came into power in
 bloody fashion 27O years ago. Five years ago they went out, a decadent, cowardly lot-surrendering a throne rather than give up their treasure. Their advent was important in China, but nowhere else, for the rest of the world knew little of the Celestial empire. Their fall shocked
 the world and, as things have developed, has brought about situation of world importance. During the Manchu dynasty
 China was discovered by the outer world commercially at first then politically
 and automatically. China had existed in
 history, at least, for 47oO years. She fought many wars, within and without.
 Finally she fought Japan a score of years ago, or rather Japan fought her.
 She was defeated. The weakness of the
 invertebrate giant was shown to the world. Thereupon aggression displaced
 equality of treatment more or less re- spectful diplomacy turned hard, threats took the place of friendly intercourse.
 Everyone wanted something that be- longed to China. Like an individual in
 the hands of money-lender so China
 became amongst nations. Temptations
 were placed in her way-her officials be-
 came corrupt. Always bribery has been in vogue in China, but bribery of Chi
 nese by Chinese is one thing and bribery Of Chinese by foreigners is another. The foreigner demanded and got return
 for his money and the nation suffered
 If bribery didn't do it, other means were

How National Guard Will Vote

Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's.
 More than 100000 voters have beep taken far from the polling places and probably will not return before the next election in November. One hundred thou sand votes more or less has made little difference in recent national elections. Nevertheless all these men are entitled to the franchise and probably will want to vote. The system for recording their ballots is already provided in most of the states Before the war between the states began provision had been made in some of the states for taking the votes of soldiers absent during the war. Other states adopted such provisions dur ing the war The army votes for Presi- dent in 1864, which were counted in can vassing the returns for electors. were as follows: Maine, 4l74 for Lincoln and 74l for Mcclellan; New Hampshire 2066 for Lincoln and 690 for Mcclellan: Vermont. 2ia for Lincoln and 4s for Mcclellan:

Mexico Now and in 1S47

Thomas F. Logan in Leslies.
 The United States has a smaller army now than it had in 1s47, when Gen. Win field Scott took Mexico City by way of Vera Cruz, The beginning of that earlier struggle between the United States and Mexico was not unlike the beginning of the present clash. There had been long

mated that the American market
within the year 1915 brought back
.Sl, 100000 900 OF these securities.
But Il Is also estimated that only
about $4,000, 100000 worth of rail-
road securities remained abroad last
July and much less now. If this Is
true, then the original estimates OF
foreign holdings were too large, as
American industrial stocks and bonds
were not heavily held abroad.
The one thing in this mass of esti-
mates which can be tied to with any
certainty Is that the American mar
lSet has within the year brought back
billion and a half Of these seeur-
tiles. When the war started, the
mere possibility of such a dumping
of foreign holdings caused a hasty
closing of the stock exchanges. The
fact of IL has gone on under rising
prices throughout the year, and with
less evidence OF a saturated market
at the end than at the beginning.
This Is not the whole story.
There is yet to be added the $780,
GOO, 600 more or less of foreign loans
placed there in the same time-a tot
al of above $2,000,000,000 of for
eign owned capital taken over and
absorbed here within a twelve month
and without the slightest symptom of
Indigestion
Another year like this will see the
nation completely transformed from
debtor to a lender nation and the

bility of dislodgment Wherein may
be found an added meaning to the
