~ 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"
Oregon Is the man who whipped
Villa, scattered Pancho's army and
made it possible for Carranza to cstab-
FISH 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 Oregon. Six feet tall and
weighing $50 pounds, he is a person to
attract attention wherever he goes,
and among understood 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.
Oregon, 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
an 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 hooters 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

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

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

cases Of that kind within the last few

Mr.. HUDDLESTON-Of course.
MR.. BRITTEN-What is the char

forgery when he enlisted?
Mr.. HUDDLESTON-Nothing Of the

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
TO strike out the last word TO inquire
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-
Enlistment 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

we did not consider increasing 1t I'M
