Oregon Is the Big Man.
"Obregon is the big man Of Mexico

Gonzales is OF much smaller calibre,
but he holds the richest portion of
Mexico-the capital and Vera Cruz.
That is his chief power. but he wants

Carranza is short of funds. Even the
people of the part OF the country which

Carranza Lates the United States for

money from American capitalists have
met with the firm refusal TO lend him

For this, he desires vengeance. Long
years of weak and childish diplomacy

empty threats about saluteS to the

First-The Presidential chair Is
