nOuGLAS, Ariz.-The following
...rsIafon of a special article writ
.n nv General Francisco Villa for
tso International News Service has
haar brought to the border by a cor
respondent:
>,ooo Nov. 9, 1915.-MeXico today is
,o.sing through a horrible nightmare
=. which the entwined whiskers of
r-ocIo Sam and Venustiano Carranza
nav he seen trying to strangle the
1iso ont of my beloved country.
Rut Mexico will awaken. That is
-.bv T keep up my fight against the
enemies of my poor people. Did
bo1iaye there were any chance for
co,ranza to win I would have with
drown long ago. But no one knows
my countrymen better than l do.
They will soon realize that they have
been deceived, and l, Francisco Villa,
will ride on the crest of an avalanche
that will crush all enemies of Mexico
forever.
Has 1900 Men Left.
Won ask me to tell you my strength.
will not lie to you, because l never
liz. Altogether I have 1900 armed
mon who are still loyal to my cause.
Five thousand are with me now, g.
acc are in the garrison at Juarez,
Al 400 in chihuahua and the vicinity,
and $500 at Jiminez to hold back
tba Carranzistas The balance of the
troops are scattered as small garri-
sons in less important towns.
The American government may
ba1ieye itself to be very smart but it
has not been able to stop me from
getting all the ammunition and pro-
visions I want. The materials for
war have been paid for out of my
own money and have crossed the Dor
der under the noses Of American SOL
diers
So long as the constitutionalist
army is headed by Carranza there
will always be revolution in Mexico.
Would Shear His Whiskers.
Should have Carranza in my pow
er. instead of killing him l would
shave him. This would do him great
er harm. because then he would be
shorn or that false front which, to
the ignorant. indicates intelligence.
Aware Oregon, however, is Of an
other type. He is strong. I admire
strong men. And he admires me. But
since he has cast in his lot with Car
rama | shall continue to fight him
until either he or l has been swept
off the Mexican soil. We're Carranza
out Of the way General Obregon and
I could soon come to peace terms.
We would work together to build
up my country.
Since I attacked Aqua Prieta and
retreated because I was out Of ma
teriaI l have recruited more than 500
men, Some are Carranza soldiers,
who were garrisoning little towns
along my way. With these men add
ed to my 5000 troops | expect to at
tack Oregon wherever he may be
and drive him back to the skirts CT
his Uncle Sam.
Will Fight to the Death.
am still the man who swept Mex
leo Of traitors and sent my bewhis-
kered chief at a gallop to Vera Cruz
for protection. l have not changed,
and my men still believe in me. Will
fight Carranza until | win or my
blood shall be drunk by the sacred
sands of my beloved country.
Tell Mr.. Wilson that he is not a
4 democrat Tell him / say he prefers
Tllskers to valOr, egotism to person
al honor, shamelessness to the well
lare of the Mexican people.
Tell the Americans it is a lie that
. am making peace negotiations to
Oregon. Nothing could be more i'm
possible. The only peace proposition
! Will send to Obregon will be car
ried in deadly cannon shells, and all
my messages of love will come out OF
The barrels of Mauser rifles.
