He was | medium-sized stockily built, a fine | specimen of his Irish-Indian blood. {1t has been said.of him that he was “the only Mexican revolutionary ral who never lost a battle.” The keynote to Obregon's charac- ter he recently voiced in the follow- |ing words: “I would rather teach {the Mexican people the usc of a| | toothbrush than to handle a rifle. | {1 would rather sce them in schools than upon battlefields.

Later, when President | Madero had been slain and Huerta assumed the pre ey, Olregon, who had retired minus an arm his farm, again became a |leader. In 1914, he defeated Villa {at Celaya and Trinidad after 33 days lof fighting.
