That is fine Senor Crqui said
after reading the Presidents pro-

however. is very hard-headed man."
The military mastery of Mexico, Senior
Crquidi said, would depend much upon
great battle which is now being
waged around Leon, northwest of Mex
leo City This battle. between the Car
rama and Villa troops. he said, had
been in progress for eight days. More
men than had fought in any other bat
tie in Mexico's recent troubles were
taking part. he said. and to the victor
would probably go control of the stu
