General Francisco Villa either had a

was fighting and winning battles for

be set down as &: wonderful man and

by vanquishing the opposing armies.
In celebrity of movement he was a

equipment and supplies. He was de-

Small wonder that he became the mill

the backing of the people and the
troops, to defy and rival the first chief.
