VILLA is. MoRILIzING FORCES FoE
THE MARCH AGAINST THE

Chihuahua, Jan. 21.-Orders were Is
sued by Gen. Villa today fer conce i.
tration OF rebel forces along the rail.
reads north of Torreon to prepar, for
the march southw lrd. Rebels scatter
ed in the state CT Durango and Coahu'i
"a and the garrison II. Juarez were or.
dered to join these at Chihuahua, Jim
lnez and Santa Rosalia. Evidences
have multiplied that the federals at
Torrecn will try to check the rebellion
at that point. Torreon Is now the
northernmost federal stronghold in tn
heart Of the republic. The federals
ho.d that II the revolutionary move.
ment from the north Is to be stopped
at all it must be halted there, and that
the loss OF Torreon to the rebels would
leave the way open for Villa advance
to saltillo, Monterey, San Luis Potosi
and cities near the capital.
Villa said he was not inclined to be
lieve the federals would evacuate Tor-
feon. He, therefore, ordered to be con
centrated all rebels who might be spa:
ed from the surrounding country
Within 10 days, he said, his available
army for the campaign would numbes
$4,000 well-eluipped soldiers. Gen. vii
la expects personally to lead the
campaign. The rebels are already with
IN striking distance OF Torreon. They
occupy Rerdo and Gomez Palacio, i'm
pcrtant suburbs.
The capture Of Torreon by the reb-
els would leave two routes open 10
Mexico City. One would be direct !.
scuthward through Zacatecas anG
Aqua Calientes. The other would be
eastward through Satillo and Monte
rey, then southwark through San LuiA
