b. Srecial Correspondent.

b9 SFec10t correspondent
kEYPORT, July 2S.-With none of
the glamoT of TIE first sensational
fight on Saturday from New York to
Atlantic City and return, through
sunshine and storm, with two women
passengers, the Aero Limited Express
Of the Travellers Company, left New
York for the seaside resort yesterday
afternoon at twenty-five minutes af-
ter one. with two men ABOARD as pas
sengers. The passengers were both
Pittsburgh men and had booked their
passage at the Hotel McAlphin after
reading Saturday night of the success
sful ride of Mrs. John of the two
women passengers.
The seaplane was forced to stop at
keyport and the passengers compell-
ed to remain overnight beofre pro-
ceeding on their flight. The trip COM
ing from New York to Keyport was
a hard one taking two hours to battle
the storms and high winds. Nh. Hew-
lit, the pilot, was hard pushed on the
first leg of the trip. attending to the
stick and engine, also the storm and
winds.
The landing at Keyport was excel
lent owing to the landing platform,
which is used by the hydroplanes fly
ing. almost daily, from Keyport Aerial
Marine Works. Sunday morning the
trip to Atlantic City was resumed.
The last step back to New York City
from the seashore was made in sew
enty-eight minutes.
C. Nicholas Reinhart, passenger
agent of the Travellers Company,
said hat two more boats will be adj
ded to the service within a few days
and are arranging to make improve
ment on the first boat. The oil and
water tanks need to be adjusted so
that they "a be handled by the pilot
while in the mir without having to
descend to the water, as was the case
when returning from Atlantic City,
with the two women passengers.

Three General Divisions.


The %contending forces in Mexico
may be referred to under three gen.
eral heads. They are:
First-The federal or Carranzista
forces.
Second-The rebel forces led by
Felipe Angeles, Francisco Villa, GULL
ermo Meixuerio, a full-blooded Zapotec
Indian, and by many well-informed OBJ
servers considered the ablest and most
trustworthy leader in Mexico; Felix
Diaz, Manuel PelaeZ, who dominates
the Tampico and adjacent oil fields
the Zapatistas, still, despite Carranza
affirmation, a power in that part of
Mexico of which the state of Morelos
Is the center; General Cantu, governor
of the state Of Lower California, and
the organized Yaqui Indian forces Of
the western part of the border state OF
Sonora.
Third-The bandits VINO, In sinai
groups, are operating everywhere In
Mexico.
AS to the first or federal forces sup
Oorting Carranza, 1t is, as already
pointed out, the official claim of the
present Mexican, or Carranza, govern
mept. that this force numbers 10000
men,. 1t is q conscript army to q
great extent and 1t is small and ineffi-
clent for two reasons, the first being
Carranza's inability to enforce con-
scription, and the second the fact that
he is unable properly to equip, train,
or maintain necessary discipline.
Owing to these two conditions, over
which Carranza appears to have no
control, the federal army of Mexico Is
today at it's maximum strength. 1t Is
an army poorly organized and poorly
equipped. OF this army a large pro-
portion is held in or near Mexico City,
leaving the remainder, numbering less
than a full division, according to the
American organization, to guard and
maintain supremacy in the states OF
Nuevo Leon, eastern Coahuila, south
ern Durango, Hildago, San Luis Potosi,
G~uanajuato, Queretaro, Michoacan,
Jalisco, Teplc, Zacatecas, Guerrero,
Colima, Chiapas, Campeachy, Yucatan,
Tabasco, Quintana Roo, and the east
ern or Atlantic edge of the state OF
Vera Cruz, which territory on paper re-
mains under federal control.
The big transcontinental stretch OF
rcbel-controlled territory, which aver
ages more than 100 miles in width, and
which forms an unbroken barrier from
ocean to ocean, completely separates
the federal-coKtrolled states Of the
scuth-Chiapas, Campeachy, Yucatan
Tabasco. part of Vera Cruz and Quin.
tana Roo-from the states or parts Of
states over which Carranza still holds
sway In the north.

New York.-The Mexican problem
was never more Troublesome. Condi-
tons In that revolution-racked land
were never more chaotic than they are
today. Carranza 10Y controls little
more than one-half of Mexican terri
tory and his hold on that is not at all
secure. Opposed to him are six organ
lied rebel organizations, not Including
the Sonora Yaquis, while everywhere
his authority is hampered and his
troops harassed by organized ban
ditry.
Bearing upon actual conditions In
Mexico, the New York Times has come
into possession Of certain information,
now In the official possession of the
United States government. Vertical
ton of these statements which follow
Is to be found In the archives Of the
government in Washington.
Carranza has officially claimed that
he is supported by a regular army OF
10000 well disciplined and well
equipped troops. This statement Is
not borne out by the facts In the case,
INC the tTuIH VI the uldlteL lb thu Ills
armed forces number not more than
$4,000 officers and enlisted men, who
are poorly equipped. whose morale is
at low ebb, yet upon whose loyalty de-
ponds Carranza's sway over a people
who number more than 115,000,000.
Today the Coahuila "chieftain" Is ex-
ercising authority in those parts OF
Mexico not under rebel or bandit
domination as a dictator and through
the PRONUNCIATION of executive DEGREES.
