Former officers OF the Federalist
army are concentrating at Ell Paso,
with View to organizing n new move
ment against the Constitutionalist
government in Mexico. and in favor
OF the reactionary elements. according
10 information received to-day
Gathering at Ell Paso, it is known
that the plan Of the eX-Federals is to
eliminate villa. assuming control of
his forces and driving that army into
line for the old regime This is the
plan of General Felipe Angeles. and it
is on his initiative and as the result
of his recent activities in the United
States that the movement has been
started
"F,liseo Arredondo. head of the
agency, tonight expressed the opinion

government might be directed imme-
diately to the present situation. with n
view TO stopping the organization Of
a reactionary movement at n time
when the settlement of the difficulties

pected the United States in some way
to use its influence toward preventing
the former Federals and their sup
porters from re-entering Mexico, was
