which touches the American border
Indian stronghold, and Obregon is
proud of the fact that the blood of the
Yaquis. among the best of Mexican
fighters, is in his veins. However, he
is not full blooded Yaqui, and the
fairness of his complexion Is due to a
liberal mixture of pure Spanish. Like
wise he has little of the Mayo Indian
In him.
"Paradoxical as it may SEEM" said
Francisco Elias, an Old friend of Obre-
gon and now the CarranZa consul gen
eral in New York. "Obregon. while our
most capable military leader at this
moment, is at heart and by training no
soldier at all. While acquitting him
self with great credit in the campaigns
he is conducting to drive Villa and the
other enemies of the country out of
power. his constant dream is neverthe-
less one of peace. He is q farmer and
always will be one. know that he
hopes some day to return to his Sonora
ranch. More than once he has ex-
pressed his disgust for warfare, which
he has called a devils game in which
humans have no business to indulge.
He is a splendid physical specimen.
He is six feet in height and tips the
scales somewhere in the neighborhood
of $50 pounds"
It was not until Orozco, the Chihua-
huan who had been Madero's right
hand man. turned against his old chief
that Obregon decided to take the field.
Obregon entered the revolution quiet
ly and without consulting any one.
He went among his Sonora Yaquis and
armed ar j organized a battalion Of
about 400 men. He telegraphed Ma
dero, then in the last days of his pres
idency in Mexico City. that he had
his men and stood ready to oppose Or
Ozco. The man who accepted Obre-
CONS offer was Huerta, then directing
the field operations of Madero's armies.
Less than year later Obregon was
to be one of Huerta's most persistent
military opponents.
But now the contest in Mexico is be-
tween Obregon and Villa. with Obre-
gon the master in the southwest and
villa still supreme in the northern
tier of states At Pueblo Obregon in
ficted crushing defeat on the Villista
force and followed 1t up by a second
entry into Mexico City. which was
evacuated by the Villa and Zapata
troops. Now it is reported that Obre-
gon has a second time evacuated the
capital and that the bandit Zapata is
once again supreme there.

President Serves
Notice That Extra
Session Will Come

President Wilson practically served
notice today to Democratic leaders OF
congress that If the ship purchase bill
is defeated by tn eRepublican filibuster,
an extra session to pass tho legislation
will be called to assemble March !. the
day after the present Congress goes out
of session.
In the meantime the President, TAX
ing charge of the situation, conferred
today with these leaders on plan
whereby the Republicans might be en-
barrassed in their efforts to kill the
legislation by dilatory tactics. All day
he conferred with the leaders Begin
ming with Floor Leader Underwood, of
the House. at 9 o'clock this morning. he
saw in the course of the day Congress-
man Claude Kitchn. who will succeed
Mr.. Underwood as floor leader in the
next Congress: Chairman Henry. of tn"
House Committee on Rules; Chairman
Adamson, Of the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee; Chair
man Alexander. of the House Merchant
Marine Committee; Chairman Webb, of
the House Judiciary. and Chairman
Padgett. Of the House Naval Affairs.
With these men the President dis
cussed three propositions. first. that
the House should pass at once the
Weeks bill. This measure already pass
ed by the Senate and voted for by Re-
publicans, would. by authorizing the
Government to acquire ships as naval
auNiliaries to be used as merchant vcs-
sells in time of peace. commit the Re-
publicans to this extent to Government
ownership. Second, to attach the Ad-
ministration ship purchase bill to the
Weeks bill as rider. Third. for the
House to pass instead the Gore bill,
which. providing that the Government
should not acquire the ships of any bel
ligerent nation, would meet the objcc-
tion Of the Republicans that the legis-
lation might involve the United States
in foreign complications.
What plan was definitely decided on
could not be learned. II Is understood
that the leaders returned to the Capt.
tol with the impression that the Presi-
dent favored the second proposition
above all.

What War MOUeS Mean
BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-One OF the
most serious Russian defeats OF the
war Is in process of being inflicted
on the Slavs in Bukowina. Two
Austro- German movements are be-
ing developed to this end. One is
making its way through the south
ern tip Of Bukowina and the other
is moving into Galicia about forty
miles beyond Bukowina's northern
boundary.
A stretch Of 200 miles Of the south
eastern Carpathian mountains di-
vides the two movements; but there
arc strong Austro-German forces
guarding all the mountain passes, SO
that the Russians cannot break
through here. The Carpathians form
the western boundary OF Bukowina.
On the eastern and southern sides
Is Roumania. II the present Teu-
tonic strategy succeeds, the Russians
Will be prevented from crossing the
Carpathians. and the Austro- German
army now moving through southern
Galicia will cut of the Russian re-
treat to the porth.
The Slavs there must face the al.

odds In BukoWina or flying across

BR|T|SHER DEAD
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, July 10.-CIaude Delaval
Codham, who has died at his home in
Devonshire, was for thirty years
British commissioner of the island of
Cyprus. He was a man of many ac-
compishments, a linguist, an anti
quarry and the author of numerous
books dealing chiefly with the history
of Cyprus. He was commissioner
from 1879 until 1908.
Almost everyone who went to Cy-
prus on business or pleasure was hos
pitably entertained by Gotham Pasha
at his Villa Claudia. Whether the
visitor was Greek, Turk, Italian,
French, German or English, Gotham
was able to converse fuently with
him in his native language.
The story of his work in the de-
velopment of the island during the
thirty years when he was in charge
there is practically the history of
modern Cyprus.
