GENERAL FELIPE ANGELES

General Felipe Angeles, who was executed by the Carranza forces a few days ago, after summary court martial, was, before the great war, classed as one of the worlds fore most artillerists. He had attained considerable fame as an artillery com mander in the Mexican army under the long regime of President Diaz, and cast his fortune with Francisco l. Madero in the revolution by which Madero seized the Mexican presi- dency. Subsequently, General Angeles enlisted his skill in support of the cause of Francisco Villa against the Carranza government, and was cred ited with planning many of the bat ties Villa won.
 Both friends and enemies of Gen. Angeles have declared that he was an unselfsh patriot, and that his hope was to bring about peace in Mexico.
 He was successively student, in structor and director of the Mexican Military College, Chapultepec, and an author of several text books, not all of which dealt with military matters.
 Graduating from Chapultepec in 1892, he was assigned to the engi- neers, but later to the artillery corps, with rank of captain. In this latter branch he served as a member of sev- eral technical commissions, was sent to Europe to inspect artillery for the Mexican government, and while there was graduated from the French artil- lery schools at Fountainebleau and Mailly.

After Villas famous raid upon Columbus, N. M, Angeles went to the United States and remained there for about two years.
 He returned to Mexico in Novem- Der, 1918, expressing the hope that he might unite the scattered revolution ary factions into a compact unit and pacify that country before it was called to account" He accompanied Villa in the attack on Juarez, June 15, 1919, when American troops crossed the Rio Grande and dispersed the revOlutOnists. After this incident he appealed to the United States mill tary authorities in the name of the Fellowship which exists among mill tary men," to define the attitude of the United States toward Mexican revolutionists, but the United States authorities declined to communicate with him on the ground that he did not represent the Mexican govern ment.
