fBv The Associated Press.)
MEXICO CITY. Dec. 7 A military
situation thut is decided!) better; an
economic situation that is without
doubt worse. an«| un international situ
at ion that is in status <|Uo. These are
the terms used by impartial observers
here to describe conditions on Mexico
as they were on December 1 when Pres-
ident Obregon completed the escond
year of his administration.
Combined optimism and pessimism
are expressed by persons who during
the past 24 months have watched (tell-
ers! Alva ro Obregon the revolutionary
aucressor of President Carranza un-
fold his program of national recon
atruction which according to him amt
ins adherents is to lift Mexico from
turbulence and rebellion to a place of
dignity and credit among the nations j
of tiie world.
Country in Peaceful.
It cannot be denied that Mexico toda\ |
i* more at peace than at any time dur-
ing the past decade. Kebel leaders oi
importance have either faced the firing
squad or have died in battle. General
Fianciaeo .Murguia. the most preten-
tious rebel was executed last October ;
following his capture at Tepehuanos. j
Outango. by federal forces. His death
wa> closely followed by that of Gener-
al Juan Carrasco who for many months
had terrorized the west coast princi-
pally in the state of Sinaloa. The elini- t
ination of these two revolutionists ha-l
a salutory effect upon the lesser rebel :
chiefs who according to war office !
statements have made requests for
amnesty in large numbers. Each case i
being decided upon its individual mer-
its.
Mexico as yet is not wholly at
peace. Every state harbors its disgrun
tied elements which at times adopt
liarrassing tactics sacking villages
blowing up trains arid pillaging hacien- 1
d: s. Mario Ferrer ho.->ds a considerable
force in Oaxaca; Miguel Aleman and
others are heard from frequently in
Veta Cruz; Puebla. Jal sco. Hidalgo.
Michoacan and Guerrero each hn< its
well-known malcontents. The northern
tier of states—Tumaulipa*. t'oahuilu
and Chihuahua also reports outbreaks
but these are said by federal authori-
ties to l*e inspired by rebels operating !
from the United States side of the
international boundary. Among thus*
cited as the chief conspirators are Can-
dido Aguilar. Pablo Gonzales. Esteban
Cantu and Manuel Pelaez. All these
men. however from time to time dur-
ing the pust few months have disclaim-
ed any intention to start trouble in
Mexico.
