himself with the reform administra-

disaster from the presence Of the con-

tolerated in the cabinet and who
checked the fulfillment Of his pre-el-
ectiOn promises When the cientficOs,
through Huerta, again gained control

forth in the plan of Guadalupe" which
repudiated Huerta and provided for
elections to be held under CarranZa
when the COnsututionalists arms
should conquer.
The "constitutionaIists" sought to
induce president Wilson to raise the
embargo imposed under the Root res

The Duke of Wellington
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of aAf Good Old Siyvash.s

TINE career of the Duke OF Well
ingtOn is an illustration Of what
can be accomplished even in
England by bravery and ability. Born
the son of a poor baron and with no
other aid than enough money to buy
a lieutenant cOlOnelcy and a brother
who appointed him commander Of an
Indian province he rose to the head Of
the English army and in 1915 played
fulback for Europe against Napoleon,
who had broken through the line and
had a clear field before him.
Wellington began life as Arthur
Wellesley and went into the army IN
1871 when IS years old. Owing TO
the excellent reputation Of his parents
he was promoted rapidly according 70
the old English custom, and before he
had seen any military duty he became
a colonel and went to India.
At this time Wellesley had a brother
who was governor general Of India
and he was given his promotion in ad-
vance Of his service. He might easily
have become rocking chair general
splendor of his uniforms. but Great
Britan's lucky star prevented this
Wellesley Immediately set to work on
becoming a general. and after learning
how to give commands and do simple
drill work he went into the more alb
struse science Of war In a short time
he knew more about marching an army
through an unhealthy territory than
had previously been suspected, and he
made a brilliant record in India.
Wellesley, however. ran up against a
man who had a brother who was more
important than his. and he was re-
ieved Of his commands. He returned
to England. but his reputation preceded
him and he was sent to Portugal to
harass Napoleon. He did this in q care
full and painstaking manner for sew
eral years, wearing out several French
armies and incidentally earning. be-
sides his salary, a dukedOm. a bushel
of decorations and several million dol
lars in bonuses from grateful govern
