erous act infamed Obregon and he be-
came one Of the parties to the now
famous Plan Of Guadaloupe, where the
rebels against Huerta's provisional
government gained the name Constitu-
tionalists.
Obregon and Carranza met there,

young colonel
In that year. 1918, obregon made
himself real military man. He was
opposed by General Ojeda, one Of the
most efficient fighters on the Federal
side. Ojeda, outnumbered in a hostile
country and shut OFF from supplies,
kept the Constitutionalist forces in
their saddles almost steadily. 1t was
nearly ell work for cavalry, but Ojeda
had infantry and artillery as well. He
fought Indian style and according TO
the books, and in trying to outguess
him Obregon developed amazing ability
as a strategist. 1t was practical

Francisco Villa, heading the Consti-
tutionalst forces in Chihuahua, repre-
sented a big share of General Car
ranza's strength, and eventually Villa
quarrelled with the Constitutionalist
chief 1t was not an open break, but
Carranza decided he could not trus.
Villa to lead an army into Mexico City,
and that was why Obregon was given
command of the western army of the
Constitutionalists, with instructions to
take Mexico City.
That western army didn't exist. Car
rama simply appointed Obregon COM
mander, and then it was up to Obregon
TO raise the army. He did this, using
his band Of Indians ss a nucleus, and
recruiting it principally with deserters
from Huerta's forces.
These men were trained in actual
fighting, for hardly day passed with
out the little army coming into con-
tact with the Federal fcrccs. Finally,
when his total force numbered close 20
25,OO0 men, Obrccon marched into Mer-
leo City, driving Emilano Zapata be-
fore him.
Then came the break between Gen
eral Carranza and Villa, who was still
at the head Of a large army in the
north. Again Obregon took tho field.
and after several indecisive engage
mcnts scattered Villas army, killing
5000 Of them and capturing about 300
Obrcgon's losses were about 500 men
and his own right arm.
But with Villa routed there was only

one strong man IN Mexico. and that
was Obregon.
IN 1918 when General Pershing
headed punitive expedition into
Mexico after villa, who had raided
Columbus, N. NJ, Obregon. as Minister
Of War, came to the border and nego-
tiated with General Hugh Scott and
General Frederick Funston for the
withdrawal Of the American forces.
At one time 1t was reported that he
was preparing to attack General Per-
shing's army.
Obregon's first wife died before he
became soldier. They had two chill
dren rnd one. q boy, went TO school
for time in Brooklyn. Obregon
married again shortly after his trium-
phant entry into Mexico City and the
bride was considered one Of the most
beautiful women Of the capital.

gurated as the first Constitutionalist

Obregon resigned his post as Minister

The Gold en- Book of Congress

Mr.. BRITTEN-He must have done
il.
MR. HUDDLESTON- Oh. no. He
was not punished the Navy Depart
ment did not have the face 20 say TO
the boy that he had committed crime
and ought to be put in jail for it, but
simply discharged him as "undesr-
able"
want to call this practice to the
attention Of the gentleman from Penn
sylvania Mr.. Butler, so that he may
know there is no mistake about II.
That that is the kind of boys consid-
cred undesirable" and to whom these
SIS suits of clothes are given. We
know that small amount will not pur-
chase any kind Of suit Of clothes,
including hat and shoes, to send him
home in.
And want TO say further that the
fault lies with tho recruiting officer
when boy under eighteen years Of
age Is enlisted The fault does not lie
with the boy. The boy has notions
about serving his country or going TO
sea and he Is roped in and battered.
The recruiter who solicited him 10 en-
list and succeeded in roping him in
knows the boys age and conspired
with him to conceal il. I personally
know Of cases where boys have
assured me that they told the petty
officer, or whoever it was that solicited
them, their ages and he had cautioned
them, "You will have TO say { at you
are eighteen years old" believe that
this is frequently done.
I say that the blame usually rests on
the recruiting officer who enlists a boy
under eighteen. Many Of them are
obviously under eighteen years Of age.
Reasonable precautions ought to be
adopted by the authorities TO insure
that boys are not buncoed and prac-
tically shanghaied into the navy. And
when they get them there they ought
to be treated decently, and when they
are sent home to their folks they
should be clothed in a decent suit Of
clothes.
Now I yield to the gentleman from
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. BUTLER-I cannot understand
how the young men referred to BY the
gentleman got into the service. I have
no doubt the gentleman states the
facts correctly. OF course, young men
do sometimes 90 into the service when
they arc only sixteen years old, when
the ago limit Is fixed at eighteen years
old. do not understand how the
young man the gentleman refers to
could have gotten IN.
Mr.. HUDDLESTON-Ho said he was
over eighteen.

To Pershing

THERE had been something said OF
Il the American army and General
Pershing when the following colloquy
occurred:
Mr.. DENT-Mr. Chairman. l ask
leave to proceed for one minute more
THE CHAIRMAN-Is there objection
to the eentleman's request?
There was no objection.
MR.. DENT-As long as the gentle
man from Massachusetts, Mr.. OlneyJ
has reminded me of that, | am going
to conclude with this statement: That
I believe that no particular man in
this war comes out Of it with any great
conspicuous reputation, as was the case
in previous wars, because 1t has been
fought out on an entirely different line.
But the one thing that commends Gen.
eral Pershing, the one thing for which
he should be praised by the entire
people Of this country, was his persist
ent fight to maintain a separate Ameri-
can army under the leadership Of an
American officer, and he finally got 1t,
and that Is what won the war In the
Argonne- -Meuse fight. (Applause.)

~ ENERAL ALvARo OREGON.
"the strong man Of Mexico"
~ has announced that he will
be o candidate for the Presi-
dency of Mexico In the elections set
for July, 1920. In his manifesto he
says that If elected he will accord fair
treatment to all classes and will give
facilities for capital which seeks IN
vestment in Mexico.
Also he pledges complete recognition
Of all rights IN Mexico acquired by
foreigners legitimstely and guarantees
them all the prerogatives which the
Mexican laws permit. Moreover, he
says he is going to reform Mexico's
international relations and establish
them on the basis previously exist
ing"
Obregon Is the man who whipped
Villa, scattered Pancho's army and
made it possible for Carranza to cstab-
l:sh a government in Mexico City. In
that fight, which occurred at Leon, a
piece Of shrapnel tore away General
Obregon's arm below the elbow.
A fine looking, outstanding man is
Alvaro Obregon. Six feet tall and
weighing 1s0 pounds, he is a person to
attract attention wherever he goes,
and among undersized Mexicans he is
especially conspicuous. His black
moustachios are upward pointing, and
despite the Yaqui blood that flows in
his veins he is light of complexion.
Obregon, In short, is handsome.
In Sonora the Obregons are a noted
family, but they were no longer a rich
family when in 1910 Alvaro, student
and farmer thirty years old, acquired a
small ranch which he named "Quinta
Chilla," which freely translated means
"In the last stage of bankruptcy"
When Madero rose against Porfrio
Diaz, Obregon showed no especial in
terest in the revolution. He just con-
tinued to devote himself to his crops
and small machine shop. But when
Orozco with bands of looters passed
through Sonora, laying waste that then
peaceful agricultural community. .Obre-
gon swung himself across the back
Of his strongest, feetest horse and
"took the field" At his own expense
Obregon collected and armed about 400
volunteers, mostly Indians located in
his neighborhood. 1t was an effective
force opposed to the scattered bands

attention Of the gentleman from Penn
sylvania, the chairman Of the Commit
tee on Naval Affairs, to the fact that
the classes Of men named here may
not mean necessarily those who have
been punished or who have been guilty
Of misconduct. For instance, boy
sixteen years old who enlists in the
navy on representation that he Is
ci.atcen years old, without consent Of
his parents, is discharged as "unde-
sirable.v In other words, recruiting
officers can go out and rope in boy
sixteen years old and take him off to
some naval station and when, in the
course Of his training, his mother be-
gins to cry for him and brings his
minority to the attention Of the de-
partment, the discharge given that boy
ia as an undesirable" | know OF two
cases of that kind which have occurred
within the last few days. That is the
kind Of boy that 1t is proposed to send
home to his mother in a SIS civilian
outfit. His parents have got to pay
his transportation and maintenance
home. That kind Of boy we propose to
send home with a SIS suit of clothes,
including a hat and a pair OF shoes.
Mr.. BRITTEN-I think the gentle
man from Alabama is in error in his
remarks.
Mr.. HUpDLESTON-I trust the gen.
tleman will not express a mere opinion
on a subject concerning which l have
actual knowledge. | have handled two
cases Of that kind within the last few
days. I corresponded with the depart
ment yesterday about them and know
what I am talking about.
Mr.. BRITTEN is the uniform

Mr.. HUDDLESTON-Yes.
Mr.. BRITTEN-His first OUTFIT
Mr.. HUDDLESTON-Of course.
MR.. BRITTEN-What is the char
acter of his offence?
Mr.. HUDDLESTON-For being only
sixteen years old and being roped In

Mr.. BRITTEN Did he commit
forgery when he enlisted?
Mr.. HUDDLESTON-Nothing Of the
kind.

Mr.. LA GUARDIA--Mr. Chairman,

Mr.. LA GUARDIA--Mr. Chairman,
want to leave this idea with the COM
mittee. The air industry of this coun-
try has really never had a chance;
never had any real encouragement.
When we started to appropriate large
sums Of money-s64o,OOO,0 for the
ARMY do not know what the navy
appropriated the first year Of the war
that money was spent in certain lin
tied quarters. Millions and millions
were spent on swamp lands, millions
were spent for building purposes, large
amounts were spent for planting castor
beans, so that really not very large
sum Of money has gone into the avia-
ton industry. The chief of the air
service Of the army testified before our
committee the other day that there was
an excellent pursuit machine in this
country, and a splendid observation
machine, and the Martin bomber, all
of which they were anxious to acquire.
They have finally learned that we can
produce good flying machines in this
country. We can also produce good
motors in this country, II the motors
are given a chance. 1t has cost us
about half q billion dollars to learn
that it is impossible to create one
m otor to serve all purposes. That can
not be done. 1t cost US half a billion
dollars to learn that, but finally we
have learned the lesson. II the motor
industry is given a chance in this coun-
try. we will develop a real aviation
motor. England Is ahead Of us to-day
in motors, and so are France and Italy;
but I do not despair. I am hopeful for
the future.

Mr.. WALSH-Mr. Chairman, move

if the committee gave any considera-
ton in the matter of these outfits for
civilian clothing to the greatly in
creased cost of clothing in the market?
You have increased salaries in the es-
tablshment of rates of compensation
and increased great many minor al
lowances. You have increased the
outfit for the enlisted men and elimi-
mated the provision for the officers
that has heretofore been carried in
this paragraph. But for the men that
have been discharged you give them

MR.. BUTLER-Men who have been
discharged only for bad conduct, | will
say to my friend These are men who
have been punished and arc under pun
ishment. They are released. But
their offenscs are not great ofenses.
Nevertheless, they are infractions Of
the law and regulations of the de-
partment. Their uniform is taken
from them and civilian clothing given
to them so that they may return to
their homes. Fifteen dollars for
suit was considered enough. There
was no request made Of us that the
amount should be increased. | will
say in candor toward my friend that
we did not consider increasing 1t un-
der the circumstances.

who have been punished?

for id conduct.
