bandits and executed. The people were
stirred by the severity of this decree
coming from a foreigner. A storm of
disapproval followed. Maximlian's par
tiality and favor toward the French
excited further criticism. The United
states. though remaining neutral. lcok-

The government refused TO recognize
the empire SO long is it was supported
by France.
In July, 1865. it emphasized it's dis
approval by massing troops on the
border in Texas. But further aggres-
sive measures were averted by the act
of Napoleon III. who withdrew his
troops from Vera Cruz, leaving Maxi
milan to his fate.
From that date until 1914-compara-
tive recent hstory-all went we'll be-
tween the United States and Mexico. It
is true that minor troubles sprang up
prior to the entrance of Porf1rto Diaz
upon the Mexican scene, but these did
not necessitate the sending of Old
Glory into thcir midst to inspire them
with respect for lawfulness and order.
Diaz, upon his accession to power,
put MS 1OOt down on revolutions ana
slowly fashioned nation out of the
wreckage. But the beginning of the
twentieth century saw the return of
the old unrest to the land of the Incas.
Along came Francisco Madero. en-
gaging personality and a charming
com bination of aristocracy and democ-
racy. He captured the good will of
the people. 1t was apparent that he
had his eye on the presidency of his
country
Diaz realized 1t and clapped him into
Jail. He escaped from prison and
crossed over into Texas. From San
Antonio-the old city of the Alamo
he started revolution. Every day
Madero gained prestige and Diaz lost
it. Finally the man of iron" fed the
country and Madero became president.
But he was not as successful as Diaz
had been Wherever MeXicans/ came

along the route. Finally. at the heights
of Chapultepec, the Americans cap
tured the last obstruction. and the way
to the Mexican capital was open. On
the 18th of September, 1S47, the Mexi-
can forces began to evacuate the city.
and on the following day Scott rode
into the ancient capital of the Montezu-
mas. He entered the palace, ordered
the flag raised from it's towers and the
war was ended.
One might think from the incontest-
able fnality of the victory that this
ought to be the permanent settlement
of all difficulties with Mexico forever
more. A treaty was signed, definite
boundaries were marked and indemni-
ties were paid. But not so Always the
racial difference, With its distinction in
temperament and morality, breeds an
undercurrent of disagreement. The
Latin and the Saxon seemed inevita bly,
doomed to clash. The wonder is that
so long a period elapsed between the
close of this war and beginning the
next imbroglio.
However, one Storm cloud mea nj ime
darkened the horizon and though it did
not result in actual bloodched. it ne
cessitated the gathering of troops and

countries.
Soon after the beginning OF our civil
war France sent troops into Mexico
to overthrow the government and es-
ia blish an empire. Archduke Maxi
milan, brother of Franz Joseph, the
present Emperor of Austria, was to
reign at Its head. President Juarez,
the fullblooded Indian patriot. who
looms as one of the greatest men in
Mexican history. was deprived of his
authority and driven into the northern
part of the country. This was counte-
nanced by a large portion of the peo-
pie, who looked upon the restoration
of an empire under the rule Of a for
eigner the only way out of the dis
turbing conditions wrought by endless
civil wars. Maximilian was therefore
received with honor.
But he soon cooked his goose by is

To give the details of the can1pa ign
would require volume in itself. The
army worked in three divisions. the
army of the occupation" the army of

Santa Fe, this portion of the army
marched on to California. only to be
met half way by Kit Carson and his
party bearing the news that the Cali
fornia territory had already been taken
by the naval forces which were planted
on the Pacific coast.
Meanwhile. Gen Taylor was sweeping
into Mexico. Matamoros was taken
Monterey followed; then came Buena
Vista with it's overwhelming victory.
Gen. Winfield Scott arrived off the
coast of Vera Cruz just two weeks
after Taylor's brilliant victory at
Huena Vista. At that time the city OF
We're Cruz contained about Z 1000 inha bit
ants and a thousand houses, built for
the most part of stone. with fiat roofs
and parapets. 1t was surrounded en-
tirely by massive stone wall mounted
with guns, and inside was well defend
ed. On an island about mile in front
of the city was the famous stone castle
Of San Juan d'Ulloa. built by the
Spaniards in 1852.
In spite of the fact that the defense
was excellent, the Americans steadily
got the better of the cannonadng, and
when Gen. Scott was about to order
the final assault the Mexicans surren-

his historic dispatch: The flag of the

were arrested by a Mexican officer at
Tampico, where they had put in to OBJ
tain a supply of gasoline and marched
through the streets After being held
for a time they were released on the
demand of Rear Admiral Mayo.
These are the bare facts. What
really happened, underlying this event,
was an insult to this nations flag. The
flag is nations emblem. 1t stands
for its integrity and dignity. To in
suit the flag is to insult the nation
itself.
The United States government upon
being informed of the Tampico in
cident, demanded an apology of Huerta,
had been SO unjustifably insulted. But
the salute was not forthcoming In
stead, Huerta proposed that he would
give the demanded salute provided this
government would simultaneously or
Immediately thereafter return the
honors to the Mexican flag.
For days Huerta dilly- -dallied with
the government officials. Then away
went the battleships to Vera Cruz.
Once more the historic gulf port was
captured-but at the expense of the
lives of several of our sailors-and the
nag was once more planted on the soil
OF a nation that has so long sorely
tried US.
Following the occupation of Vera
Cruz active preparations for mobiliza-
ton were begun. Gen. Frederick Fun
ston was sent with a portion of the
army for a march to. Mexico City. But
the stream of events were turned in
their course. A proposition came from
the A. B. c. powers of South America,
composed principally of the countries
Of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, to allow
them to mediate and settle the diff
Guilty. This was agreed upon. The
troops were withdrawn from Mexican
territory and the battleships from
Mexican waters.
This brings history we'll nigh up to
date.
Now again our flag is in Mexico.
