of Francisco Villa in appointing Gen
eral ConstantinoAialvan commander of
"the Army Of the East with instruc-

Felix Diaz, as reported in dispatches to-
day from Mexico City, presages an
attempt on Villas part to gain control

Felix Diaz has been conducting
more or less active campaign against
Carranza in Southern Mexico for sew

the old "Cientiico' section, survivors
of the regime of Porferio Diaz, an
uncle of the rebel leader.
