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-
gen, Herrera and others against the
Eederal troops brought the victorious
feFoluu0Hists into Mexico City after

an exile to Spain
Only one small cloud specked the
horizon of the revolution during its
early days. This was when Villa, be-

paid no attention to this action and
continued to remain in charge of his
army.

hold a conference with General Villa,
in order that the personal differences
between the two men might he ad.
