THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

In the early part OF the year IL was
evident that Francisco villa had the
ambition to become the political War
wick of the republic OF Mexico. On
January Z he deposed the provisional
governor. Gutierrez. and installed Gen
eral Cara In his place. lie was still
master OF the situation at the city Of
his stand at Vera Cruz. Meantime, the
fighting went On uninterruptedly, with
varying results. Tut none decisive.
In June the situation on The border
and elsewhere became 80 irritating
that the United States government
felt compelled to give official warning
TO the factional leaders that failure on
their part 70 come to some agreement
would necessitate intervention. De.
spite this intimation. the forces OF
Villa and Carranza continued to keep
revolution aflame, and by midsummer
the Mexican situation seemed to be
more inexplicable than ever. Villas
star waned perceptibly. A new mill.
tary influence, General Obregon, took
the center OF the stage. He assumed
the leadership Of the Carranza faction,
and his military successes were cor.
siderable. In July General Gonzales,
another Carranza supporter. fought his
way into Mexico City. displacing Gen.
eral Zapata, who held the place In the
Villa interest. Later, Gonzales was
driven out and the situation was 30
threatening TO life and property in the
capital that. In August, American bat.
tleships were ordered TO Vera Cruz,
but were not put into action. In this
month. also. an appeal signed by Sec.
rotary OF State Lansing and the repre-.
