The struggle of the constitutional- ists to regain their power in Mexico began almost immediately after the pevolt of Felix Diaz against the freign of the Maderos proved successful. The revolt began in Mexico City on February 8, 1913. Victoriano Huerta became com- mander of the army, and after ten days of fighting Huerta caused the ar- Test of President Madero. On Feb- ruary 18, 1913, Huerta became pro- F-visional president of Mexico and five days afterward Madero and Suarez were slain, State of Revolt. While Huerta quickly made him- self secure in Msexico city the greater part of northern Mexico was in state of revolt. Within a week Gen. Carranze announced himself as a &evolutionist and took the fleld at Coahuila. Within a short time tbere was a clash between the rebel troops under Carranza and. the Federal troops near Coahuilg. The rebels were successful. The State of Sonora rose against sHuerta and became the first strong- hold of the Constitutionalists. Gen. Carranza fought to establish a stable government for the State to provide schools and to afford opportunity for trade and agriculture. Troubles With Wilson. Meantime Huerta was having his troubles with President Wilson. He ¥ought the recognition of this Gov- ernment, but President Wilson re- fused it. On April 12, 1912, it was announced unofficially at Washing- ton that the United States would not recognize Huerta or his Government. | The President was reported to have referred to Huerta as a murderer. In the few months that followed “#he Federals were forced to evacuate Empaleme and then were besieged at Guaymas. On April 20 Carranza was named supreme chief of the Consti- tutionalists. The next victory of the rebels was the capture of Durango on August 3. That city was made Carranza’s capital. Last November Gen. *pandit, began to display remarkahle strength as a military leader ana strategist, giving new vim to the rehel cause. He captured Juarez on Ng. vember 14. Eleven days luter he de- feated the Federals to the south of the city in an emphatic conflict and | Mexico governor of the Villa, forrier on November 30 he took Chihuahua. | Proved Wonderful Fizhter. { From that time on Villa proved imself a wondeiful fighter. Petween March 25 and 31 he won the battles | of Gomez Palacio and Torreon, cay- turing both these cities. The rebels hesitated in their on- ward march when President Wilson sent the fleet to Vera Cruz, capturing that city. ‘Within a short time, how- ever, they were moving vn Tampico and took that place on May 14. The next important victory by the rebels was the capture of Zacatecas, still nearer Mexico city. On July 5 they drove the Federals out of San Luis Potosi. Next Guadalajara feil into their hands. The end of Huerta was near. On July 11 he appointed Francisco Car- bajal as Minister of Foreign Affairs and on July 15 he resigned, Carbaja: succeeding him Carbajal scught make peace with Carranza, asking that his soldiers receive the honors of war in yielding Mexico city, but Car- ranza refused to give any promises. He moved his men steadily on the capital.

Such charges are beneath contempt and demonstrate the righteousness of our cause and the wickedness of our enemies. “You Germans also are spreading rumors of victories and defeats such as the German occupation of Belfort and the destruction of French regi- ments-wholesale. “Everything will be published at the proper time, and we have given our word that nothing shall be ex- aggerated and nothing minimized. “Few except those who are experi- enced in warfare can know or show with what difficulties victories are won.” Another Berlin paper declares that Great Britain is paralyzing American diplomatic relations by preventing American ambassadors sending des- patches in cipher.

MAY A Domestic Blessing. (Providence Journal.) As one result of the war the pro- duction of hooks and eyes has sud- denly been stopped, or largely ours tailed, and it is reported that the entire supply of these small but ex- tremely significant commodities has Thus there is an immediate famine in that line with the accompanying certainty of prohibitive prices. In some ways the outlook thus pro= duced may seem somewhat appalling. Upon hooks and eyes, in present con- ditions, hangs the whole stability of feminine fashion, and the decorum of civilization is largely dependent upon them And yet this news of the sud- den corner in the hook-and-eye mar- ket will undoubtedly be received by thousands of men Wwith subdued chuckles of mirth and Among the masculine portion of 8o« ciety this is far from being a matter to inspire gloom. The process t “hooking up”—1. e., effecting an ad= curate conjunction between sixty-four minute hooks and their corresponding eyes—has driven many thousands of respectable and harassed citizens in the past few yeard to the verge nervous prostration. The amount of profanity it has inspired in wmen of hitherto unblemished character and habit is nothing short of deplorable.
