MEXICO is WAolNG WAR
TO A FINISH
Report Of War Department Indicates
Government is Carrying Out
Threat to Exterminate
Revolutionary
Towns

Mexico, Nov. 17.-That the Mexi-
can government Is determined to car
ry out the threat to resume tactics
employed so successfully by Gener-
! al Robes in the state of Morelos
some months ago, is indicated by
the report of the war department an
nouncing the total destruction Of
/ several small towns and villages in
/ the northern mountains of Oaxaca,
where the revolution has been ram
| pant.
Another evidence of the govern
ment's intention to use all energy
in restoring peace in the south is
the announcement by high official
that 300 soldiers now operating in
the north, chiefly in Chihuahua, Co
achulla and Durango will be sent
against rebels in the states of Mex
leo, Puebla, Guerrero and Oaxaca.
Ixtepeji and Zia, two of the places
destroyed were the strong holds of
the Serrano Indians. Convinced that
the inhabitants of these towns were
in accord with the rebels, orders
were issued for their destruction.
Without calling on the inhabitants to
withdraw, the artillery began its
work, ceasing only when the town
had been reduced to mass of ruins.
The Indians are active in other d.
rections. Official reports say con-
ditions of the states of Morelos and
Mexico have improved, but it is
known that the rebels hold import
ant hills near Cuernavaca and large
ly control the rural districts and
many of the minor towns in the
State OF Mexico. The situation in
the state of Guerrero has become
worse on account of the leadership
of Juan Andrew Almazan, who is
said to have a considerable following
and controls territory along the Pa
cifc coast.
General Aguilar, who is supposed
TO be directing a large part or the
rebel forces is operating in the south
ern part OF the state of Puebla. En-
counters are reported daily, but in
all of them the government has been
victorious with slight losses.
