Villa Sees the End.


 Chihuahua, Mexico, Jan. 21.-"lt soon will be shown that the United States has not waited in vain in the belief that the Huerta government ia slowly crumbling,' said Gen. Fran cisco Villa today
 With the northern division of the Huerta army imprisoned in the Unit ed States and with Gen. Jose Refugio Velasco's federal troops trembling at Torreon, the only point they now hold in the north, it will not be long be- fore the usurper Huerta will be swept away by public opinion. At first it was only our arms tha. brought us victory, but now the peo- pie of Mexico are convinced of the seriousness of the revolution. Our strength is growing daily. We are finding that popular approval is as effective as bullets.
 But we are not forgetting that bullets are still necessary. The fighting will continue. Nur success at Ojinaga in pushing the federal di- vision into the United States has had the effect of a tonic on our soldiers.
 q am conyinced that the prospec- tive battle near Torreon will knock another prop from under the totter- ing throne of Huerta. The federals are aware they must put up a vigor ous fight or their cause is lost. Once we go south of Torreon every city between us and Mexico City will fall ignorance of the extent of the reYolu' Nion and when they see our great nun tion and whn they see our great mum. bers they will join us.
 "The federals will not last long at Torreon We are going 70 approach them with an army of 15,O00, the largest revolutionary corps called to gether in this revolution We shall lombard the federals with thirty cannon, forty machine guns and hand grenades. I. will be bitter for the federals to learn that they are being assaulted with weapons we captured from them at Ojinaga and elsewhere. Huerta little thought when he sen his troops northward that he was sending ammunition to us.
 "We are already concentrating our troops north of Torreon. I will lead | the assault. Gen. Toribio Ortesa will be second in command The 2t- tacking line will be reinforced by troops at Jiminez and other points ! along the railroad

UNITED STATES ARMY OFFICERS THINK HUERTA WILL GIVE
 UP PART OF COUNTRY.
CONCENTRATE FEDERAL FORGE
At Central Point 1t Is Believed in Vain EndeaVor to Stem Tide of Rebel invasion of capitaI-ViIla Is Optimistic.

Washington, Jan. 21--Army off cers here who have been closely fol lowing the Mexican campaigns be- lieve they see signs in recent events of a purpose on the part of The Huer- ta government to abandon the whole north tier of Mexican states to the constitu.ionalists They suggested today that the movement of the led eral troops at Laredo might really te in the nature of an evacuation and That eventually the 2400 federals near Laredo. with the 200 at Mon terey and the 500 at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz will be concentrated, perhaps at Torreon or Tampico, to form part of the line of defense which the Huerta forces are supposed 70 be placing across the country from east to west.
 On the other hand, the army ex- perts think 1t is essential for the reb- els, either to abandon the idea of ultimate success or to press steadily on to the south.
 Reports disclose the beginning of famine conditions in the northern states as a result of the prolonged rebellion One report from Sinaloa is that the natives of the interior of that state are not only almost with. out food but are nearly naked.
 A result of those conditions has been to force a number of men into the rebel ranks to obtain food enough to keep them alive.

BANKERS OF SOUTHWEST AND WEST FAVOR MISSOURI ME.
 TRoPoLls FOR RESERVE.
BRANCH AT KANSAS CITY
Is Favored by Oklahoma and Texas Bankers-Tennessee and Arkansas Want the Central Bank to Be Lo- cated at St. Louis.

St. Louis Ian 2l-Plans for a re- gional bank district mebracing the lower Mississippi valley, from the northern border of Missouri to the gulf of Mexico, and ex.ending as far west as western Kansas and west ern Texas, and as far east as east ern Kentucky and southern Indiana, were presented at the federal reserve bank hearing here today.
 It was urged by men who appeared before Secretaries McAdoo and Hons ton .hat St, Louis be made the cen. ter of this district, but on this point the witnesses were not unanimous, some saying he banks of their towns preferred to be in a district of which Kansas City was the center.
 o. H. Leonard, a Tulsa. Okla, banker, said bankers of Tulsa were especially anxious that Tulsa be not attached to q district having it's cen ter in Denver.
 Suppose regional bank were es- tablished in St. Louis and branch of that bank in Kansas City; would that be satisfactory?" asked Mir. Me. Adoo.
 Yes" answered Mir. Leonard
 Sterling Fort of Clarksvllle, Tenn. said Clarksville bankers preferred first that their regional bank be o- cated in Louisville, Ky. or Nashville, and second In S.. Louis. He explain ed that Clarksville was in the center of the tobacco belt; that the tobacco crop usually is handled in December. January and February, and that 1t was desirable hat Clarksyille be em- braced in district. all parts of which would not want money at the same time.
 aHis statements were endorsed by Thomas Long of Hopkinsville. Ky, which is in the same district as Clarksville.
 H.. w. Duncan of Muskogee, Okla. said bankers of his city would be sat. isfed with regional bank either in St. Louis or Kansas City, but thought 1t important they be not in a south ern distric..
 J. N. Brown, president of a bank in San Antonio, Tex, presented q resolution from the San Antonio clearing house association urging that all Of Texas be included in re- serve district reaching as far north as St. Louis and eas. to the Missis- sippi river. The clearing house as. sociation asked that if a regional bank could not be located in Texas. St. Louis be the center of the district Texas
 MT. Brown explained that he San Antonio bankers did not include Louisiana and Mississippi in their district as the interests of those states were identical win those of Texas, and all three states would need money at the same time. He said Texas would be better served by St. Louis than by Kansas City.
 ''HSw about New Orleans?" asked Secretary Hosuton.
 Our interests would not be serv- ed by being attached to a district there,' was the reply.
 S. s. Faulkner a banker of Hel- ena Ark, asked tha. Helena be in- cluded in 0 district having St. Louis as it's center. as St. Louis is the clear ing center for his section of Arkan- sas.
