But though the bones of Cortes
have been found, the question OF
his position in Mexican history
ssscontinues to be disputed. By and
large. those Of Spanish inclina-

.ally-minded Mexicans preserve
1.-THE grudge which their ancestors
bore him. 1t has been remarked
gsthat no public monument to the
c0nqueror stands in all Mexico.
sga History indicates that the
swarthy politician-general who
:. sought gold and adventure in the
ssNeW World was a master of
strategy. That his methods were
cruel and avariciouS, with no re-
gard for Aztec culture, is also a
matter of record.
Bold Venture
On November. Is, 1918, Her
nando Cortes sailed from Cuba
with ten vessels, 600 soldiers, Ii
cavalrymen and a few pieces oil
artillery. Almost Immediately his
superior attempted to call hin
back and cancelled his commits
sion, but Cortes pushed on. He
landed in Mexico and founded the
tscity of Vera Cruz, having himself
elected its captain-general.
With this questionable author
;tv. and an army small even TO
those days, he burned his ship
behind him to prevent desertion
and set out to conquer the highly
developed Indian civilizations. II
i. his march toward the lofty Ate
canital, Mexico City, Cortes quick
Is found that he had two aces: tn
disunity of the native states an
the terror which was inspired b

his horsemen who were believed
to be gods. The Mexicans had
never before seen horses.
Playing upon the doubts and
fears of the people, Cortes soon
reached the capital where he held
the Aztec king, Montezunia, for
ransom. !, ,s@Si asssfg{tl, .i3S '.si!sc
When Gortes learned that the
king had sent a force to- attack
Vera Cruz, Montebuma was COM
PEELED to deliver up his secret task
force. Cortes burned them all at
the stake. Then he learned that a
Spanish expedition was on its
way from Cuba to deprive him of
his command. So Cortes marched
east, defeated his countrymen and
returned, strengthened, to the
capital.
There he found the Mexicans in
revolt. Infatuated hordes of In
dams swarmed to obliterate the
Spaniards, but incredibly Cortes
managed to withdraw again to the
coast. His luck and courage filled
the Mexicans with baffled awe.
On July 7, 1920, an unexpected
victory on the plains of Otumba
completely turned the tables. Cor
ties broke the back of effective
resistance and consolidated his
conouests with bloody ferocity
| that drove the Indians to despair
and new revolt.
Then, the usual payoff:
Though he had won a rich treas
ury for his country, Cortes found
himself showed aside when he fl
1nally returned to Spain.
He died on December 2, 1547
and his body was buried in fam

son brought it to Mexico City il

Il tA&Os
1.-The recent discovery in Mexico
City of a casket which scientists
say undoubtedly contains the
, bones of Cortes has stirred the
historic controversy.
In life, the bearded adventurer
tricked and outbluffed the Aztecs
of, Mexico City, finally fastening
the yoke of gold hungry Spain
upon Montezuma's people. Sur
.yiyors of proud race damned
his. memory down the centuries,
because of his reputed torturing
and ruthless determination of the
Aztec leaders.
- His Elusive Ghost
Three hundred years after Cor
ties conquered it, Mexico rebelled
against Spain and became a re-
public. During bloody anti-Euro-
pean riots that swept the capital
in 1923 Cortes' tomb was in dan
ger of being despoiled, But Just
as the old conqulStador had es-
capped from Aztec ambushes in
earlier days, descendant man
aged to spirit his remains to a
secret hiding place.
Another 1913 years passed, and
the location of the bones remain
ed a mystery, Last month they
were reported discovered in Mex
leo City-long after time had soft
ened the revolutionary fury that
had endangered them.
Through panel in an ornate
gold-and-crystal casket,. a skull
winch was declared to be that of
CorteS could be seen for the first
time. since those who carried it

/ O, hear my tale of Nassau,
Where the sun and sand are cheap,
Where they lay awake to figure
How to charge you while you

Lying lazy on the sea,
Somewhere in the old Bahamas,
Where the penny things cost
three-pence,
But the air you breathe is free.
Yes, they let you breathe the air

They let you soak the sun;
But that's because they don't
know how
To tax you on that one!

Where a man can raise thirst, ,
But you'd better be darn certain
That you've plenty money first.
Where British tweeds and WOOL

The Wedgewood, Spode, and such
Win sell as in Chicago
If you pay them twice as much.
Where wallets must be loaded
If you're going out to dine,
'Cuz the usual Blue Plate Special
Costs good five ninety-nine.
Where bargain buys are ended,
Where the sucker rates begin,
Where the poor are poor as church
mice
And the rich are rich as sin.

And its coral-bordered shores,
Where you pay them three times
