FEDERALS
FROM THE BORDER
Present Rebel Campaign Is Result Of
Villas orders to Take All Border
Ports From HUerta.


Pancho Villas advisers declared to-
day that the rebel activity at Ojinaga
and at Nuevo Laredo was the result
of general orders to clear the border
of federals at once.
Rebel successes at these points
would leave the Huerta government
practically without a vestige of power
on the United States border. All border
points Of entry with the relatively in
significant exception of Ciudad Por-
firio Diaz, opposite Eagle Pass, Tex
would be closed to the federal govern
The defeat of the federals would
place in supreme control of the rebels
the territory extending north OF a line
from TampicO-on the gulf coast across
country through Monterey and Tor
reon to Guaymas on the Pacific coast
with projections of rebel territory
south of that line.
Gen. Ortega's army was sent to
Chihuahua with orders to attack ana
defeat the federals at any cost" Villa
said. Those orders are being obey ed
The federals were virtually defeated
before they left Chihuahua almost six
weeks ago.
They evacuated Chihuahua because
Gen. Salvador MercadO, Huerta's chief
was afraid to face US. As soon as
established the rebel government in
Chihuahua, I organized the expedition
against Ojinaga, to which point Mer-
cadO had fled. Gen. Ortega's strength
was increased until we have about
5000 soldiers and about forty field
pieces with sufficient supplies of am
munition. 1t would be of interest to
the federals to know that they are be-
ing fought with their own ammunition,
or ammunition which we took from
them"
It is rumored that villa plans to
make a dash down the Rio Grande IN
an automobile to take personal com
mand of his troops if there is not q
decisive victory in a few hours. Three
automobiles were bought yesterday in
Juarez by rebel officials, according
to NJ. L Burkhead-

Protests to United states military
against Sending Deserters Fac&
Across the Line AZ Preside.
Raoul Aladero, brother of the late
president of Mexico on behalf Of Gen.
Villa, called on United States army
officials here yesterday afternoon to
inquire why the federals at Ojinaga
were being forced back to the Mexican
side. AIr Madero said the rebels were
inclined to feel that this action was
advantageous to the federal army.
He was told that since the federals
were disaFmed before they were sent
back by the American troops, their
usefulness as fighters was destroyed
and that the United States would treat
all cOmbatants alike. Soldiers from
on United States soil provided they
sought asylum on the ground that
their lives were in danger.
MaderO wanted to know if the whole
federal army went across the border
whether it would be sent back 1c
was informed that in that case the
federals could claim their lives were
endangered and they would be per-
mitted to remain under arrest.
Declaring that it is inhuman to de-
port deserters from the federal army

their arms and ammunition, Pedro

for SuDDIies-Have No Water
without Going Nine Miles.
An American who arrived in FL PasO
just before the battle opened between
the federals and rebels at Ojinaga. says
that unless the rebels take the town
within the next q hours they will be
forced to abandon the attack for the
present and withdraw TO La Mula Pass
for ammunition, supplies and water.
The American is familiar with the
entertainments. federal positions and
natural Law of the country around
Ojinaga and SAYS the federals have a
decided advantage in position over the
rebels. He says that the federals are
able to get ammunition and supplies
from the United States side as long as
they have money and that the wounded
are being cared for by Americans in
stead of being burden upon the fight
ing force. He also says that the rebels
are forced to take the aggressive and
to fight the federals from an open
country where it is possible to
sweep them with machine gun, rifle
and artillery fire. The rebels have no
base of supplies closer than La Mula
Pass and must so back nine miles to
get water.
The Americans prediction IS that the
rebels will not take the town inside OF
a week unless it is taken Friday, as the
rebels have almost exhausted what ele-
ments of war they had and will be
forced to withdraw for additional sup
plies and ammunition.
