OF THE MEXICAN
REVOLT LED BY CARRANZA.
Events Lea Ing Up to Huerta's Flight
and Surrender Of carbaiaI.

With the taking over Of the govern
ment Of Mexico by General Venus
tiano Carranza as provisional presi
dent, succeeding Francisco Carbajal.
a brief review of the revolt which
Carranza began when Madero was kill
ed is Of timely interest.
The struggle of the Constitutionalists
to regain their power in Mexico began
almost Immediately after the revolt of
Felix Diaz against the reign Of the Ma
deros proved successful. The revolt
began in Mexico City on Feb. s, 1918.
Victoriano Huerta became command
er of the army, and after ten days of
fighting Huerta caused the arrest of
President Madero. On Feb. 19, 1913,
Huerta became provisional president
Of Mexico, and five days afterward
Madero and Suarez were slain.
The state of Sonora rose against
Huerta and became the first stronghold
of the Constitutionalists General Car
rama fought to establish stable gov
eminent for the state.
Meantime Huerta sought the recog-
milton of this government. On April
u, 1913, It was announced unoficially
at Washington that the United States
would not recognize Huerta or his gov
ernment.
In. the few months that follower the
federals were forced to evacuate EN-
paleme and then were Desieged at
Guaymas. On April 20 Carranza was
named supreme chief Of the Constitu-
tionalists. The next victory of the
rebels was the capture of Durango on
Aug. g. That city was made Carran-
za's capital
Last November General villa began
to display remarkable strength as a
military leader. giving new vim to the
rebel cause.
The rebels hesitated in their onward
march when President Wilson sent the
feet to Vera Cruz, occupying that city.
Within a short time, however, they
were moving on Tampico and took
that place on May a. The next i'm
portant victory by the rebels was the
capture of zacatecas, still nearer Mexi-
co City. On July they drove the fed
erals out of San Luis Potosf. Next
Guadalajara fell into their hands.
The end of Huerta was near. On
July II he appointed Carbajal as min
lister Of foreign affairs, and on July Is
he resigned. Carbajal succeeding him.
Carbajal sought to make peace with
Carranza, asking that his soldiers re-
ceive the honors of war in yielding
Mexico City, but Carranza refused to
give any promises. He moved his men
steadily on the capital. Carbajal re-
signed and left for Vera Cruz

Prices OF Food is Found to Be
Due to Conspiracy.

Minnesota's biggest investigation OF
food prices has started. 1t was
brought about by the European war

So far as the federal government is
concerned its inquiry will be confined
largely to the operations of packers,

The battle-ground, roughly three miles
long. should be called Haelen rather
than Diest. for it was in and through
and behind the little village Of Haelen
that the deadly test of strength took
place.
The villagers have each a tale to tell
of the loss. All the 1.2OO men in the
long grave were men with wives,

The thrill of wars a base deceit:
The rattle of the drums a lie
It lures brave men with scurrying feet
To go where many dangers lie:
It sings soldiers death is sweet;
It tells how great it is to die.
And vet no death can splendid be
That's caused by selfshness and pride;
The weeping widow-does not she
Long for the husband at her side?
Can any selfish victory
Restore the loved one that has died2
TO die for Others may be fine,
But not to die for others gain
The thin and faltering battle line,
The dead men on the bloody plain
Are seldom there by Gods design;
Some human soul must wear the stain.
Murder In uniform Is war,
Exalted only by thrill
And how long must 1t be before
Men will not blindly rush to kill?
How many generations more
Before the cannon's voice is still2

PARIS ACCEPTS CONDITIONS
Residents Becoming Used to Different

Paris, Aug. 19.-Paris is beginning
to accept the conditions of living that
have come into being since war was
declared and in some respects life
here is more comfortable than it was
during the first days of mobilization.
While there is little movement on
the streets after dark conditions in
this respect are improving. Some of
the subway lines are permitted to run
up to $3.50 p. m. and the tramways up
to 10 p. M. 1t is believed that on
some suburban lines commuters, in
two or three days, may be allowed to
leave the city for their homes even
as late as II o'clock.
In the day time the streets of the
capital are quieter. Such tranquility
has not been known here in years.

Probably the least known of them
all in this country is the generalissi-

seph Joffre, though sixty-two years
old, is the youngest officer of his rank
in the French service.
Like so many great military leaders,
General Joffre is very silent man,
rather retiring in his demeanOr. Burly
in figure, with heavy fiaxen mustache
plentifully tinged with silver, thickly
tufted eyebrows, shading a pair of
very clear blue eyes that often twinkle
with merriment and are usually ge-

nephew is in the same way renowned
for the rarity of his smiles, while such
a thing as laughter is entirely foreign
to his character.

found gloom. TO such an extent is this
the case that the kaiser always speaks
