The same inadequacy OF opportunity,

who now constitute the executive
board of the committee.
However. say these gentlemen, their
work is in the last analysis con-
trolled by the unions themselves. The
men who compose the committee are
elected along with the other union
officials and must submit their plans
to the unions for approval and report
to the committee again whatever sug-
gestions they make.
As the special creature OF the work
ers it is the business of the commit
tee to shape its arrangements in exact
accordance with their needs Thus
when the plan for the Workmens
Theatre was under way IL became ap-
parent that there were a number Of
union members who would in no way
benefit by it. Among the 200 900
workers there are many Jews of the
older generation who speak Yiddsh al
most exclusively. to whom plays in
English would hardly be ineligible

To remedy this lack an agreement
has been reached with the new Jewish
Art Theatre. which will be directed by

other lights OF the Yiddish drama Frr

The committee called a conference
late in April of men of letters. science
and art who are in sympathy with the
aims of this new venture of labor. A.
this meeting and with the advice Of
the professionals the workers devel-
oped their extensive plans for the

power and gloriflcation. He became
Villas chief OF staff and most trusted
General. and planned most of the
campaigns and battles that Villa
launched against Carranza's forces.
At various times after that Villa
and Angeles were reported to be at
outs and the various defections Of
Angeles appeared to be reported al
ways at time when Villas military
fortunes were lowest. At one time it
was reported and published in Amer
lean newspapers that Villa had caused
Gen. Angeles to be executed. But in
reality Gen. Angeles remained a friend
and supporter Of Villa until late in
1914 or early in 1915 and was the last
of the bandits friends to leave him.
In 1916 and in most OF 1917 Gen.
Angeles lived in a modest cottage near
Ell Paso and appeared to be very bitter
against both Villa and CarranZa. In
al interview in 1916 he said he had
left Villa for the same reason that he
had left Carranza to Join Villa--be-
cause the bandit chieftain was anx-
ious to become dictator.
At that time he was very vehement
in asserting the Carranzistas, the VII
listas and the Zapatistas were all his
enemies. But for the last year the
General has been very quiet. although
occasional rumors have been heard
that he was negotiating with Villa and
might again take the field as com
mEnder of one of Villas armies. It Is
now evident these negotiations bore
fruit and II is not unlikely that, wear
led of strife as the country is, Mexico

CarranZa fight out their old feud.

tant of Villas campaigns and the
greater part Of the military successes
that came to his forces were planned
and carried into effect by Gen. An
geles, who left the bombast and the
glory to Villa and went and did things.
Gen. Angeles was particularly an
expert in artillery. and 1t was due TO
his knowledge OF this branch Of the
service that Villas guns were able
to make a showing against the greater
number OF guns operated by Carranza's
army and to give very good support
to the Villa infantry.
Gen. Angeles has been greatly in
terested in artillery ever since
the first time he entered the
military school at Chapultepec. the
Mexican military college. He special
lied in that branch throughout his
military career as an officer In the,
Diaz army, and later when Huerta
had sent him from the country ana

In all probability Gen. Angeles Ia

aligned himself with Villa and Villas
schemes. He comes OF an aristocratic

blood. and his European education
gave him advantages that caused him
to become very popular throughout
Mexico. This popularity was most

When the United Labor Education
Committee came into existence last
fall it coalesced all the activities OF this
order in the individual unions that
compose 1t. This concentration was
planned to save expense and energy.
As a result not only has the educa-
tional work been broadened but such
ambitious enterprises as the Work
mems Theatre and the concert series
have been made possible.

ably the foremost soldier the turbu-
lent Southern republic has developed
in the last twenty years. 1t is fairly
safe to predict that IL Villa and Gen.
Angeles take the field against Presi-
dent Carranza's army. provided they
are able to recruit force anything
like that which Villa commanded when
he terrorized northern Mexico, 1t will
require all the resourcefulness Of Car
ranza's Generals to suppress them.
1t is perhaps too early to hazard a
guess as to the attitude of the United
States Government toward the new
administration which Villa and Gen.
Angeles are trying to set up in Mex
leo, with the seat OF government in
Parral, but at one time in Gen. An
geles's career he was in high favor
with the Wilson Administration in
Washington. During the A. b. c.
mediation conference at Niagara Falls,
when diplomats from Argentina, Chile
and Brazil undertook to settle the diff
ferences of the various Mexican fac
lions and find an agreement that
could be Endorsed by the United
States. Gen. Angeles was named as
one OF the three men whom the Wilson
Administration would be willing to
have made President of Mexico.
1t was regarded as significant in
those dsys-in 1914-that President
Carranza's name was not in the list.
This list OF Mexican Presidential pos
sibilities, which was submitted TO the
mediation conference by the American
delegates, was headed by Gen. Angeles,
at that particular time Minister OF
War in Carranza's revolutionary Cab
met and chief OF artillery OF the Con-
stitutionalist army. The other two
men In the list were Pedro Lascurain.
who was Minister OF Foreign Affairs
in the Madsro Cabinet, and Luis Ca

tives at Washington.

During the early days OF Villas ac-

in the United States as the possible
savior of MeXico-that was long be-
fore his real character became known
and before he led the raid against the
United States troops at Columbus
the bandit leader was given credit for
considerable military ability. But II
was very significant that this reputa

Gen. Angeles stuck TO him. About as
soon as the General deserted him the
bandit leaders military glory began to
decline. 1t has been fairly we'll estab-

attention by his knowledge OF that
branch, and in 1905 President Diaz as
signed to him the difficult task OF mod
ernlzing the course of artillery instruc-
ton in the Mexican military schools.
Shortly thereafter Diaz decided to in
vest several million dollars in modern
ordnance and Angeles was named on
the committee on specifications despite
the opposition of many high Mexican
srmy officers. One Of them, Gen. Man
uei Mondragon, the inventor of rapid
FIRE guns, which he was selling to Diaz
at high prices, succeeded in having
Angeles removed from his post and
sent TO Paris to study French artillery
methods.
When Madero overthrow Diaz Gen.
Angeles was recalled from France to
become director of the military college
at Chapultepec, where he instituted
numerous reforms based on his OBJ
servances and experiences in Europe.
He became well acquainted with Ma
dero, and that President trusted him to
such an extent that he put him in
command Of the operations against the
Zapatistas, who for two years had raw

amnesty for all of Zapata's followers
who would surrender and conducted
his campaign with more success than
had been gained by Huerta, Robes and

the study OF artillery, in which he had
an intense interest. He soon attracted
