The CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

IN the early part Of the year it was
evident that Francisco Villa had the
ambition TO become the political War.

January he deposed the provisional
governor, Gutierrez and installed Gen.
eral CARA in his place He was still
master of the situation at the City CT
Mexico, and Carranza still maintained
his stand at Vera Cruz Meantime. the
fighting went on unnterruptedly, with
varying results. hut none decisive.
In June the situation on the border
and elsewhere became so irritating
that the United States government
felt compelled to give official warning
TO the factional leaders that failure on
tbeir part to come to some agreement
would necessitate intervention De
spite this intimation. the forces of
Villa and Carranza continued to keep
revolution afiame. and by midsummer
the Mexican situation seemed TO be
more inexplicable than ever. Villas

the leadership OF the Carranza faction,
and his military successes were con.

driven out and the situation was SO

REVIEW OF THE WAR
AND OTHER EVENTS
OF THE YEAR, 1915
CONTINUES FROM pAoe one J.,

CONTINUED FROM eASE ONE
In the Mest the military operations
of the early part of the year were
practically without decisive result
The fighting in Poland had resolved
itself into a complete deadlock. In
January. the French English combine
made three attempts to break the
Teutonic hold on French territory, but
accomplished little The German un'
successful drive at Warsaw and the
rout of the Austrians in Galicia left a
slight balance in the January fighting
in favor of the allies.
From a strictly military viewpoint
February was a promising month for
the Teutonie allies BY the middle Of
the month, German troops were ad.
vaneing all along the front from
the Vistula to the Niemen and thus
seven months after the- breaking oW

cally cleared of its Russian invaders.
The deadlock on the western front
was still unbroken.
Scene Shifts to Dardanelles.
With the advent of March, there
came a sudden and dramatic change
in the war situation The scene Of
military activity was shifted 10 the
Dardanelles BY the third week OF
the month. Rome Athens, Sofia and
Bucharest were centers of great po-
htioal activity The surrender OF
Przemysl. March -. was the most
stirring victory for the allies since the
battle Of the Marne. The German
assertion that the military power of
Russia had dwindled into insigniti-
oance was Gisproved at once and the
allied cause gained instant strength in
all the neutral capitals. one Of the
greatest strongholds in Europe had
been taken by the Russians.
The disaster to the allied feet at
the Dardanelles. which occurred dur
ing the third week Of March, put an
end 10 the expectation OF forcing the

taken by the allied fleet was now un-
