er first, then as judge, senator and
finnally Governor of Coahuila, made
Carranza familiar with the agartan
problem, the root of politieal unrest
in Mexico.
Having defied Huerta, Carranza
rallied a small band of HUO followers
which grew into » sizable army when
he won the support of Francisco Villa.
Carranza's influence spread rapidly,
the military victories of his chief aide.
Villa, rallying the various factions of
Northern Mexico around his banner.
For a time, however, real progress
was slow. Huerta's machinations had
umbroiled Mexico with the United
i States and intervention seemed im
minent. The killing of W. S. Benton,
a British subject, by a staff otficer 01
Villa, further complicated the situ a
tion.
Then came Villa’s victory at i'or
;von. the first real success of the war.
Carranza was pressing Huerta hard
when the A. B. C. conference to dis
cuss the differences between the Unit
ed States and Huerta was called in '
Buffalo, (ieneral Carranza refused to
sii -tiend hostilities and declined to
j ib «1, by the result of those diplomatic ,
negotiations. The fighting went on
with the result that General Huerta
resigned the provisional presidency
July 1">. 1014. and a month later Car- ,
rtinza made his triumphal entry into i
d’-xico City. Huerta in the meantime
having fled to Spain.
Shortly afterward independent re

Pascual Orozco and others commenc

ranza. which begun at the Torreon ,
conference, reuched a climax Septem
ber 1 4. when Villa declared war

became Carranza's leading general.
Th*- Vilht generals met at Aguas

The beginning of the end of tin*

of Yilla by General Alvaro Obregon.
\ ilia was forced to give up Torreon
and concentrate his dwindling forces
it, Northern Chihuahua and Custom
Sonora, making occasional forays and
laids which culminated in the attack
on Columbus, N. M., that resulted in
the invasion of Mexican territory by
General Pershing.
In the diplomatic exchanges that
« nsued between President Wilson and
Carranza, who hail been officially re
ef gnized as the head of the de facto
government by the United States in
October, 1915, he insisted on the re
spect by the United States of Mexico’.,
sovereignty and the conces?5on to his
gov»*r!jm« nt of reciprocal r'.ght of in
v; on. Hf maintained his position de
tho ci isis caused bv the clashes
between Mexican and American sol
diers at l*arial and Carrizal, hut when
war seemed unavoidable Carranza
succeeded in stemming the tide by his
proposal * for the appointment of u
joint commission to settle the difficul
ties amicably. The proposal was ac
cepted by President Wilson and the
deliberations of the commission result
ed in tho withdrawal of the American
.vnn and the restoration of friendly
relations between the two countries.
ir the meantime Carranza had call
ed a Constitutional Congress, which
an. pt* *1 most of the reforms he out
lined. On March 11, 1017, he was
elected President. More than 1,500,000
votes were cast for him. He took the
oath of office May 1, 1017.
In a message to tho Mexican Con
gress following his inauguration as
president Carranza declared Mexico’s
•‘strict” noutrality.This note to neutral
nations, however, urging them to de
clare embargoes against all the Euro
pean belligerents, as a means of end
ing tin* war. and the warmth of his
language in congratulating Emperor
William on the occasion ot his last
birthday, aroused comment in the

\ tion of the Zimmerman note, inviting
Mexico to take ‘ by conquest” the

Mexico in payment for a declaration
of war on the United States acting in

General Carranza was married and
formerly lived in Saltillo. One of bis
daughters. Miss Virginia Carranza,
became the wife of General Candido
Aguilar.
During the past three or lour
months, the reading public is familiar
with Carranza’s trouble, his flight
with a fortune, which was later cap
tured by the rebels, his several small
battles and finally his death.
