There are other commanders-men on
horseback-who have not been Villas
subordinates, but have exercised inde-
pendent commands in their own dis
tricts and who are likely to insist on
maintaining their positions One Of
these is Gen. Obregon of Sonora.
Gen. Obregon is a wealthy planter Of
middle age. who never had much mill

against Huerta. He showed marked
talent for military organization and
also in the field. AS success followed

peon to join the army that he may
mount and ride with the trapptngs and
accouterments so dear to Mexicans
of all classes. instead of trudging
afoot.
The Indian does not reflect that most
of his fellow poems are still going
afoot, although they are enrolled as
soldiers. He only sees Juan, or Jesus
or Jose, his old companions in miser-
good horses at that. In a rather dull
way he may think that whatever hap
pens they will still have their horses.
If the army is placed on peace

for Juan. while Jesus and Jose ride off
to the hills and lead the free roaming
life of the bandit, that will seem quite

1t must be frankly recognized by
those who wish we'll to the successful
revolutionists that the disbanding or
the reorganizing of the irregular forces
which have composed the armies" of
northern Mexico is going to be a seri-
Gus problem. Moreover, the absorption
of the defeated federal troops must be
considered.
Some form of army organization and
military discipline would be a good
thing for the Mexican masses. The So
called reserves of which Huerta boast

Whether the Yaquis would submit to
the authority of any government at
Mexico City is doubtful, but they al
ways cah he relied on to fight. After
the naval demonstration by the Ameri-
can warships in the Gulf of California
several hundred of them wanted to

Gen. Obregon is said to have great

manages to maintain it he will have
added prestige in the capital.

division or corps commanders, but they
know how to handle brigades, and
are, therefore, brigadier generals.

Villa recently.
While these ignorant generals who
developed their own tactics have been
an essential part of Villas section of
the constitutionalist army. they have
not been it's sole reliance. Some of
the men who represent the intellectual
side of the revolution have been part
of the army. and have demonstrated
a certain degree of military capacity.
There also have been highly educated
men with military training and expert
ence. These for the most part are
officers of the Mexican army as it eX-
listed under Diaz. Some made cause
with Madero, but more remained loyal
to what they called the army as dis
tinct from either Madero or Diaz till
Huerta seized the government. Then
they Joined the revolt.
Many of this class had been subordi-
mates of Huerta, and knew his methods
and the methods which would be fol-

Villa is an easy rider, but Carranza

whether after peace they will continue
to ride abreast
Besides these two men, few of the
leading figures in the constitutionalist
army are known in the United States.
This is not surprising. for little is
known of most of them by the Mexi-
cans themselves. To seek to obtain
biographical details of some of the
more prominent commanding officers is
a battling task.
About all that can be learned of
Gen. Blank, for instance, is that he
came from some corner of Chihuahua

PREPARING FOR END
OF HUERTA'S REIGN

Washington So Interprets Rushing OF
Fleet to Mexico. Like Boxer Reyolu.
ton.
Washington, April 18.--Nearly every
body Washington is satisfied that
the movement of the Atlantic fleet to
Mexico, OH rush orders issued within a
short time after the arrival Of John
Lind, is significant more Of the ap-
proach Of the blow-up of the Huerta
government than OF the necessity of
dealing with any detached incident
such as the trouble over the marines
at Tampico.
1t is observed that Mr.. Lind had left
Vera Cruz for Washington before
learning Of the action which Real Ad-
niral Mayo had taken in demanding a
salute for the flag. Thus 1t would ap-
pear that there was something which
required "a demonstration in force"
aside from the aggravating but com
Naratively small incident at Tampico.
This is not to say, however, that such,
an affair as the arrest of the marines
IS to be laughed at, because it is just
such things that fomn the apex to the
pyramid OF successive affronts consti-
,nting in the aggregate the cause Of
war. The apex is tho smallest part
of pyramid, but it completes the
structure.
Another "Boxcr" Situation.
The prevalent view among those who
discuss the Mexican question in the
corridors OF tho capitol is that we are
confronted in Mexico with the pros
peCt Of an American parallel to the
Boxer revolution in China, when the
Impress Dowager played Hucrta at
Peking and the foreign residents were
oavcd only by the dispatch OF an in
ternational force OF marines and sol
dicrs to the ancient and somewhat in
accessible capital of 'Cathay. The diff
ference is that in this case the re-
sponsiblity OF protecting foreign lives,
rights and property rests upon the
United States, whereas in the Chinese
crisis the European nations and Japan
had most Of the burden.
Hucrta is constantly losing ground
to the relentless Villa, and the last
card the old desperate can play, if
his case becomes otherwise hopeless,
is that Of provoking hostilities with
Uncle Sam Many believe that Huerta
is likely to play that card within the
next few weeks. 1t will be very trOu-
blesome for this government Nobody
doubts the ability Of our warriors to
do whatever work may be necessary
but there is about as much attractive
ness in the job as there is in cleaning
out stable. Hercules does such duty
If he has to, but he doesn't pretend tc
enjoy it.
From the point OF view Of politics
which considers only the probable ef-
feet of developments upon the next
election, the most painfully apprehen-
sive folk in Washington are those Re-
publicans who see their canal tolls is
sue gone glimmering if we get into
actual fighting with Mexico. These
gentlemen, who have been rejoicing
that the administration has delverd
itself into their hands to the extent of
giving them crow to pick in the con-
-gTessonal campaign are in deadly ter
r'or lest it be taken away from them by
the superior excitement of an eXplo-
sion in Mexico.-News and Courier.
