Rebel Mexican General Says
He Will Quit When Gen.
Carranza Retires
ANNOUNCEMENT is
LOUDLY APPLAUDED
Invited to Guard
Convention Which Has
Crossed President

Washington, D. c., Nov. General
Villa has formally notified the nation
al convention at Aguas Calientes of his
Willingness to resign command of his
troops and retire to private life If that
ination of General Carranza.
The convention, according to official
reports, received Villas communica-
tion with applause No action was
taken on it pending a report of COM
mission which went to Puebla to noti-
fy Carranza of the selection of Gen
eral Gutierrez as provisional presi-
dent.
Villas statement is In answer to the
stipulations of General CarranZa that
with his own retirement, Villa and
Zapata should be eliminated from mill
tary authority.
Five thousand Villa troops were in
vited to Aguas Calientes by the con-
vention to guard the city, according to
today's dispatches, when General Con
zales, had assumed threatening atti-
tude at his headquarters hundred
miles south of Aguas Calientes. No
fighting had taken place when today's
report was dispatched.
Gutierrez has stated to American
agents that as soon as he is sworn in
as provisional president he will issue
the proclamation giving the guar
antees desired by the United States,
before withdrawing it's forces from
Vera Cruz. Villa has agreed to sup
port Gutierrez in enforcing the pro-
clamation, which Carranza declined to
issue.
Conditions on the battle field around
Naco, Sonora, reported today by Brig
adler General Bliss, were summarized
in this statement by Secretary Garri-
son:
General Hill is entrenched in a
semi-circle about N.co, Mexico. He
has about 1900 men well armed with
plenty of ammunition and about 100
cavalry, fourteen machine guns and
one small field gun. After the recent
engagement, Maytorena withdrew and
now has about one thousand men at
Villaverde, about 18 miles southwest
on the railroad to Cananea. He also
has 500 men at Cananea and 800 Yaqui
Indians about seven miles north OF
Villaverde, but not on the railroad. He
has $50 men at San Cedo, between Del
Rio and Nogales 1t is thought that
Maytorena will not attack Hill in his
present position, unless he can assem-
BILE larger forces than he now has, but
there may be long range firing.

EnQliSh Writer Praises the
Soldiers of All Sides in War

Heavy as have been cur losses, we
have taken a far heavier toll from the
enemy and we have prevented their
gaining the object on which all their
energies have been concentrated. And
no1 only have, our troops maintained
their traditions, but our French allies
have been fighting with all the dash for
which they are famous Judging from
all accounts, they have made at Dix
nude and along the User a name for
themselves which will never die. The
Belgian army, likewise, has resisted
the furious onslaughts CT the enemy
with the utmost gallantry.
'The German troops also have won
our respect for the way in which they
have advanced"
