nora. Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nucvo
Leon and Tamaulipas, and including
the territory from the border to a line
500 miles southward, will be wholly
under the authority of the rebel forces
within two weeks.
The forces which are fighting Uu-<
erta will then join at Guadalajara,
with a view of marching on to niexi-
co Oily. This campaign, he said,
contemplated not only the capture of
Chihuahua City but the spreading of
tho constitutionalist authority furth-
er south. lie is to hi1 Joined in thd
interior later l>y Gen. Venustino Car-
ranza, head of the revolutionary
movement. 80 far as the north is
concerned Villa said, the campaign is
between 14,500 federal troops an J 20.-
300 rebels, or constitutionalists, iu
garrisons and roaming the country.
Kclative Strength of Armies
The strength of the opposing forces
in the north as gathered from official
sources by Villa and made known by
him today is:
At Gtiaymas, Sonora, 3,000 federal
troops commanded by Pedro Ojeda.
At Chihuahua City. 5.000 federal*
commanded by General Salavardo
Mereado.
At Saltiilo and Monclova, Coahuila,
3,000 federals.
At Monterey, Nuevo Leon, 2,000
federals.

hua City, 5,800 rebels commanded by

ty miles south. Villa expects to Join
his men within a few days and pos-
sible to keep open a train and tele-
graph service behind him. He said
he would be In Chihuahua City with-
in ten days.
Uut the capture of that city, he in-
sisted, will be only an incident of a
further advance in conjunction with
Carranza and other rebel leaders.
Villa pointed out that the only im-
portant points along the United States
border not held by rebels now are
Nuevo Laredo, opposite I^aredo. Tex-
as, and Piedras Negras, opposite Kaglo
Pass, Texas. And that his forces al-
ready had captured all the larger cities
of the north except Guaymas, Chihua-
hua City, Monterey. Monclova and Sal-
tillo.
"On to Mexico City."
"We will move right on to Mexico
City," Villa said, "that is our desti-
nation. Our forces are working to-
gether. The troops now iri Sonora
will move southward, attacking Guay-
mas on the way. Thjse in the east
now centered around Victoria, will
move southwest, while I will go right
down through the heart of the coun-
try. On the way 1 will take Chi-
huahua. where I .will be In command
within ten days. Then I will join the
eastern and western wings of our army
at Guadalajara. Combined, we will
march to Mexico City."
Chihuahua City has been cut oft
from communication for mora than
two weeks. At that time it was stat-
ed the federal forces had made every
preparation to oppoes thi rebel at-
tack. Almost all the fo>d supplies
have been exhausted.
