 Simultaneously with General Huer- ta's coup d'etat and the assassina- tion of President Madero. the news went out to the world that General Venusiano Carranza, elected Governor of the State of Coahuila in 1911, re- fused to recognize the usurper and would resist him by force of arms.
 "Madero's revolution was political" Carranza is quoted as having said. Mine is a social one"
 Born of parents in comfortable cir cumstances in Cuatro Cienagas, State of Coahuila, December 29, 1859, Ven ustiano Carranza was educated in the public schools of his native state and later studied law at the Mexican capitol When he was admitted to the bar, however affection of the eyes prevented him from practicing and he returned to his native state to become a rancher.

Huerta's machin- ations had embroiled Mexico with the United States and intervention seem- Benton, British subject, by a staff officer of Villa, further complicated the situation.
 Then came Villas victory at Tor reon, the first real success of the war. Carranza was pressing Huerta hard when the A B. C. conference to discuss the differences between the United States and Huerta was called in Buffalo. General Carranza re- fused to suspend hostilities and de- clined to abide by the result of those diplomatic negotiations. The fighting went on with the result that General Carranza made his triumpal entry in- to Mexico City, Huerta in the mean time having fled to Spain.
 Shortly afterward independent rev. olutiOnists led by Zapata, General Pascual Orozco and others commence ed. Dissension between Villa and !Carranza, which began at the Tor reon conference, reached a climax September 23, 1914, when Villa de- clared war on Carranza. General
