There appears to be a fairly general feeling that America wil find the invasion of Mexico a simple affair and that the subjugation of the little republic, if that is found necessary, would be an affair taking only a little lims. It may be taken for granted that the General Staff of the United States Army does not view the task with anything like the same complacency that exists elsewhere. It is bound to know that the task must prove one of considerable difficulty. As matters stand, of course, it would be made easier by reason of the fact that Mexico is not united, but, if it comes to serious invasion, that state of matters may not always obtain, for the Mexican is much attached to bis country and internal differences may be sunk in the face of common danger.
