Soon after a strong force of fed
eral troops took over Cedillo's ranch
at Las Palomas, reports reached
here that the town of Guadcazar,
about go miles to the northeast on
the important railroad line run
ming to Tampico on the coast, had
been taken over by revolutionists.
According to reports of the news
paper Ell Universal, peasant follow
ers of the former army general who
helped President Lazaro Cardenas
put down the Escobar revolution
in 1929, led the rebellion there.
They are known as "Cedillistas."
Reinforcements for federal troops,
'mopping up" while advancing in
the direction of Tampico, were dis
patched Immediately following the
reports from Guadalcazar which is
in the vicinity of Las Palomas, the
nearest town to Cedillo's ranch.
Cedillo and his followers, esti-
mated to number between 1,500 and
5000 men, were believed to have
taken to the hills and the govern
ment, with approximately 10000
men and squadron of war planes
at hand, was confident that his
war" would be short lived.
At Nuevo Laredo, three men, one
said to be the head of General
Cedillos aviation department and
another his chauffeur, were held
by Mexican immigration authori-
ties for transfer under guard to
President Cardenas' government
headquarters at San Luis Potosi.
The three were captured on a
highway south of here last night
while travelling toward the interior
of Mexico.
Those held were identified as
Adolfo Pima and Enrique Pima, air.
plane pilots, and Juan Farias, a
chauffeur.
At Vera Cruz, directors of the
Vera Cruz unit of the Mexican
trade workers union, wanting to
combat the Cedillo forces, asked
President Cardenas for arms today.
In Mexico City, spokesman for
the war ministry asserted that some
sections of Cedillo's army were de-
moralized and had started negoti-
ations to surrender through the

inished. Possibility of peaceful set
tlement of German minority de-
mands against the Czechs gained
ground.
Tension over Czechoslovakia,
however, threatened to increase
again today because of German al
legations of Czech violations OF her
frontiers.
Three grave incidents were re-
ported by D.NB., the Semi-official
German news agency. The latest,
the agency said, occurred today
when Czech soldiers covered with
straw the international bridges at
Ulrichburg and Hohenfurth, north
of Linz, soaked the straw with gas

preached.
With jittery optimism emerged
the pattern on which Britain is

Europe as we'll as the hope of
preventing violent expansion by
the Nazi-Fascist dictatorial bloc
1t showed four developments that
gave Adolf Hitler - conqueror OF
Austria-cause for second thought
in any move against the Czechs:
l. Stern military action by Czech
oslovakia to guarantee internal
peace during Sundays elections
but more Importantly to show that
she would fight with every reserve
if attacked At the same time
liberal solution of the Nazi minor
ity problem was pledged.
2. Flat declaration by France thai
contrary to the general belief sht
would fight any aggressor agains
the Czechs; which would also make
Soviet Russia's aid more certain
3. Counsel of moderation by Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini of Italy, Hit
ler's partner in the Rome-Berlir
axis, who has nothing to gain by
war in Czechoslovakia.
4. The Unexpectedly vigorous ac-
ton of Great Britain in pressing
both Germany and Czechoslovakia
to a settlement, but particularly
in emphasizing that the Czech Nazis
were failing to cooperate for peace
Regardless of London's lack of con-
Germ over sacrifice of the Czechs
little doubt was left that a Naz
attack would mean a new worlo
