that the country cried for were thought to follow as necessary con sequence.
 The movement against lIuerta was magnificent effort on the part of the MeXicans to regain the ideals Madero had given them, and not to sink back again into the despotic days of Diaz The present struggle in Mexico has not justitable grounds for it's exist ence. Villa has made this issue: T am to dominate Mexico, and has en- deavored to cloak 1t in mantle of verbal patriotism and empty sounding platitudes The element behind Car ranza is not supporting the personal ity of Carranza. At all times it has been willing to sacrifice him for the greater good of the country. It has simply rallied to him in this present conflict because of his honesty, integ- rity and deep seated patriotism, and because he stands for a government of principle and not of men
 The revolution against Huerta swept through Mexico with the irresistible force that has ever animated every real struggle for liberty and the dash ing victories of Villa. Gonzales. Obre- gon, Herrera and others against the Federal troops brought the victorious revolutionists into Mexico City after l( months of struggle. luerta fled an exile to Spain
 Only one small cloud specked the horizon of the revolution during it's early days. This was when Villa, be ing ordered by Carranza to send re Inducements to a brother general, re fused to accept the commands of his superior officer and carried his in subordination to such a length that when his resignation as division com mander was accepted by CarranZx, he paid no attention to this action and continued to remain in charge of his army.
 Carranza's position in this matter was similar to that of President Lin coin during our Civil War. when Me Clellan, Fremont. Hooker. Burnside and Meade sCoffed at the Presidents knowledge of military strategy and re fused to give any heed to his direc- tions as Commander in Chief of the Union forces. In each case, Lincoln was compelled to remove the insubor- dinate general from his command
 carranza Retires.
 Carranza, setting aside all personal considerations and desirous, above anything else of bringing the reyo- lution to a triumphant conclusion, agreed to allow General Gonzales to hold conference with General Villa, in order that the personal differences between the two men might be ad- iusted and the welfare of the constitu. tionalist cause not be jeopardzed This was effected, but it was clear to the minds of all MeXicans that unless Villa changed his mental attitude and ceased to allow certain clique of re- actionaries, who had come close to his condolences. to inhate his vanity beyond control. that they would use him as a tool to undermine the now all but attained success of the reYolu- tion. Events afterwards proved these apprehensiOns tO be we'll grounded
 From the moment that Villa first be gan to dream dreams of an empire and the traitorous kitchen cabinet that surrounded him began to see the prob ability of their nefarious work ripen- ing into success. there began a we'll organized and systematic campaign of publicity ju this country with the purpose of painting Carranza as Anti American" ambitious" hostile" "dictatorial stubborn" etc He was dubbed an old man in his tottering scuility." and other such libelous de- sCriptions of him were sent broadcast as to create in this country an impress sion that CarranZa was totally unfit to act as the Chief Executive Of Mex iCo
 Carranza is not diplomat, in fact. his blunt honesty is al times discon- Certing in it's sincerity; straight cuts rather than winding paths, are the ia vorite ways of his mental trains. He is essentially Anglo-Saxon in his men tai workings and utterly lacks the uSu- al Latin habits of cirCumlocution and prOcra situation
 Vera Cruz Note.
 This was strikingly evidenced in his so-Callcd Vera Cruz note to this Coun- try Carrauza felt that the ocupa- ton of Vera Cruz by our troops was violation of the sovereignty of Mex ic0 Northerns in the Civil War would have entertained the same feeling of resentment against England had sha on account of some differences with the Confederacy occupied Mobile. All America would have been united in hostile array against the British \ somewhat similar sentiment animated Mexico when the United States army by force took possession of Vera Cruz
 Fortunately, after storm of aggra vation had swept this country over what was termed "Carranza's rinsolent stand" the administration came to appreciate Carrapza's position and nothing that marred the friendly feel ing between the White House and the l Constitutionalist came of this unfor-
