NINTH iNsTALLMENT
CLOSE CALL

Despite Seagrues persistent oppcsi-
tion, Rhinclander secured the right
oEway to enable him to complete the
Superstition cutoff, and unable to
stop the Tidewater construction work,
Seagrue resolved to try other methods
to defeat his rival.
Helen Holmes was enjoying the
taste Of camp life that her trip to the
front had brought. And after the ex-
citement had died down attending the
destruction Of Cassidys house, she
found herself amused and interested
in Cassidy himself, who was busy
next morning trying to restore much
battered stove to service near the
wreck of his shack. Helen watched
his dazed efforts until sympathy over

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 he depOsed the provisional
governor, Gutierrez, and installed Gen
eral Cara in his place. He was still
master of the situation at the City OF
Mexico, and Carranza still maintained
his stand at Vera Cruz. Meantime, the
fighting went on uninterruptedly, with
varying results, but 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
their part to come to some agreement
would necessitate intc.-:ention. De-
spite this intimatiun, 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
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 con-
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 SO
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-
sentatives of South and Central Amer
