He was in the cabinet of President Madero as Secretary of War for a short period and after the assassi- nation of the latter took up arms against Huerta. His forces were swelled by the accession of Villa, and together they forced the resignation and flight of Huerta. Carranza entered Mexico City in triumph, proclaimed himself "First Chief of the Revolution." Quarrels en- sued with Villa and an open break took place Sept. 23, 1914, when Villa declared war on Carranza. The latter's forces were victorious and Villa was driven into northern Chihuahua and eastei'n Sonora. In the meantime a Constitutional Con- gress had been called and on March 11, 1917, Carranza was elected President of Mexico. During his administration his attitude toward the United States was unfriendly and at times hostile, and sev- eral times this country was brought close to the brink of intervention. In 1920 a revolution was started against him on the suspicion that he was planning to manipulate the forthcoming presidential election in favor of Bonillas, one of the candidates. Carranza was forced to flee from the capital and was assassinated on May 22, 1920. See Mexico.

An academy of sculpture is established here and several artists have their resi- dence, attracted by the convenience of ob- taining marble almost cost-free; and the sale of rude marble and of sculptured ar- ticles forms an important branch of traf- fic. The famous Carrara marble is a white saccharine limestone, which de- rives its value from its texture and purity. The quarries have been wrought from the age of Augustus, and seem to be now as inexhaustible as ever. Fop. about 50,000.

For some years he was an officer in the army, but later settled in Paris, and acquired a reputation as an essayist and contributor to the leading opposition papers. In 1830 he united with Thiers and Mignet in editing the "National," which soon rose to be the leading news- paper in opposition to the government of Charles X. After the revolution his colleagues joined the government of Louis Philippe, and he was left with the chief direction of the paper, which still continued in opposition. In 1832 the "National" became openly Republican, and enjoyed great popularity. Carrel was killed July 24, 1836, in a duel with Emile de Girardin.
