General Carranza has aged consid-
erably during the twelve months aud
little over that have elapsed since he
launched his revolution in the State Of
Coahuila during the month Of February,
1913. The affairs Of state have ap-
parcntly weighed heavily upon him; his

lined. His patriarchial beard is as
carefully cared for, however, as IL was
IN the days before he became the cen

On the question of Intervention in
