COUNT TER REv0LT I IN MEXICO MAY
 BE LED BY DlAZ

An American correspondent at Vera Cruz, in dispatch to New York newspaper says that Mexico is fac- ing counter-revolution. According to the story, Felix Ddaz, nephew of the abdfcated tyrant, Porfirio Daiz, is the man who is to lead the forces of the reactionaries, the cfentificos and the cIericals.
 While the constitutiOnalists led by General venustia11o Earranza, have control Of all Of Northern and Central Mexico, including Mexico City. the Huertistas who evacuated the capital city recently are in control of a stretch of land from Pueblo to Puerto Mexico, in Southeastern Mexico.
 Just what Felix Dias plans to do is hard to say. Persons who know his makeup are of the opinion that he is not to be feared, being somewhat un- popular among the soldiers. However, possible that he may get a force of then, according to the constitutioR all ists, he can never become a, serious menace to the Carranza administra- tion There is little Likelihood of a counter-revoll1tion of threatening magnitude. especially if it is led by re- actionaries of the type of Felix Diaz.
 Realizing that the Mexican people have a strong desire for political de nnocracy, the Carranza forces plan an early election at which the people may decide on the man who shall occupy the National Palace. However, before

Of explosives through the air, and va vate the place where they will fall. This is true of the Italians war with the sTurks in Algeria. when Turkish troops found plenty of time to scatter from point where a bomb was de- scending As for loss of property it is certain that the Zeppelin can in = hict much more damage. The craft can carry tons of explosives and when lit comes to hitting the mark they are hardly like the aviator of our county fair grounds, who drops an orange into a ten-foot circle amid the plau- dits of the grandHtands nor yet like an attack on a warships when bomb must be dropped into the funnel. go as to explode in the boilers, to do ser tous damage. When it comes to de- sfroying a city from an airship, all one has to do is to dump number of pounds of explosive over the sfde---if it doesn't land in Whftechapel, 1t probably will hit SWestmtnster. It is said. also, that the Germans have perfected bombs which recall the old Greek fire, used long before gunpoW- der. the secret of which has long been forgotten. The Greek fire lighted with; an unqlenc11able flame ships on which it was thrown, and the new German explosive, 1t is said, sets fire wherever 1t hits. None of this has been used in the present war, from accounts to date.
 The Zeppelin, too, has extended it's field of operations and is within strik- ing distance of any of the great capi- tals of the nations with which Ger many is now at war. Flights have been made by Zeppe1ins within the borders Of Germany. which lasted more than forty eight hours and in which enough distance was covered to assure a flight from Berlin to Lon don and back.
 The Zeppelin is in way, immune from biplane attack, for. although very clearly is recalled the recent ca- tastrophe in Austria, when a biplane sra zed the slanaof a dirigiide, wreck when hard pressed by savage little fighting craft the Zeppelin can take refuge in flight At a neigh of 10, = 900 feet, protected by warm clothing and heated cabins the Zeppelin crew still is comfortable and can perform their duties Where is the Intrepid operator of a plant who can ascend to such height and-because of the intense coId-bes of any service at all2
 That Germany has in spite of nu- merous wrecks and accidents persist ed in building Zeppelin after Zeppelin experts are assured of the great su- perferfty of these dirigibIe aircraft over the aeroplane, and that once a German dirigible fleet goes into ac- ton those below had better beware. E Germany is reputeds to have five great dirfg1ble centers, of which the greatest is at Helgoland, a perpetual menace to England and English ship ping One Is said to be at Koenigs- berg, which the Russians are now in vesting, one near Berlin, one at Metz where the German Emperor has made his headquarters and one at straes- burg, which might account for the strenuous efforts of the French to capture the capital of Alsace-Lorraine in the early days of the war
