The enemy succeeded, at an immense
cost, in pushing his advance from a

seven miles from his starting point.
The fighting was almost unprece-

20S,588. This figure, combined with
the falling off in alien registration,
gives a total of 353,6S6, which means
that the census bureau apparently

most important war utterances. 1t

distresses during my presidency that

one Of sincere friendship.

Mexico was none of our business, that
