 With General Angeles at his heaG quarters. sitEated l2 miles southeast c. Juarez k Martin Lopez, his next i1 command: Ramon Vega and Geuera Holquin.
 The forces Of General Angeles an the most surprising of all. These ine1 not boys or old. men. are big ana suCng, well equipped and well mcunted They have plenty of arms and mum tions Some of his men are carIyin. not only their full side-arms. but hay' extra rifles.
 One of his chief leutenants. whea asked about Juarez, said:
 We can take Juarez in three hours
 The confidence of the men is as great as that of their leader.
 When General Angeles was asked what he intended to do about Jusre- he said:
 Keeps His Own Counsel
 T do not know whether to take tn city or not If I told you. that would b. military information. and Of course have nothing further to say about JuareZ
 In speaking Of his nearness to tho port city and conditions in all Mexico. General Angeles. in part said:
 For my part" and here he laid his hand on his heart in some agitation. ~T have no aspirations; l have no desire Or wish to be the big man in Mexico ! nave no desire to be heralded as the re deemer Of my country which has been torn and bled for nine years.
 ''The only ambition I have is to ail and assist those other leaders with m in redeeming my country. The suffer ings Of my countrymen has been in tense these many years. in re-estab- fishing the respect Of other countries we had once before

 General Angeles. with his deep brown eyes. reached back hair which is turn ing gray around the temples, looked off to the south and made no answer Later ir his interviews. General Angeles said: Villa to The South . General Villa is to the south and his troops number the largest. Which way ,, he is moving. his exact location. how ever. is military informa tioE. and Of course. not for publication. General Villa. who has been the mainStay in the , revolutionary movement, has been i charged with many things of which lla is innocent. I know him so well and know that things attributed to him , were caused by others with ulterior purposes.
 Chihuahua City is cut off from Jua- f reg The Carranza government has ?. 000 men at or near Nogales. Sonora , which they cannot move At this point the general stopped for moment in his interview ana
  2 around his eyes, for General Angeles /. cannot talk very long without his hu . morouS side appearing in his smile. And, general. was it not for the I best that those 1000 men at Nogales t were not permitted to move through r American territory?''
 In answering, he said: Well, there was only one American z in Parral when I took the ctiy. He is still there in good health. h Pays as He Goes Q T have plenty of money and look around at my men-are< they not good ] ones? We pay for everything we get: l We are not robbing anybody; the ranch [ folk in the valley are getting paid for T everything We obtain i There is one conspicuous factor, or n one conspicuous absent factor a { General Angeles headquarters, and that is the usual camp followers which
 have always heretofore accompanied the armies of revolution
 When asked regarding General Villa
 General Angeles said: He is very
 well"
 And how is that old wound in his . knee, general?" He was asked. General Angeles, laughed and said: The fact of the matter is that Gen
 eral Villa never had such wound.
 When General Pershing was in Mexico after him, it was told over and over of
 how General Villa was wounded in the
 knee and how his men carried him. a drove him in an old coach and how a u physician, alleged to have been cap q tured by General Villa, was told he if must either save the leg or die. That 5. is all nonsense. General Villa never . received any wound after the Colum- ' bus raid. The Generals legs are like - they always were, perfectly all right e "Tell Them l Am Here' s And General Angeles. can I tell d them over the Associated Press wires
 tonight that you are here and that Il Generals Holguin, Ramon Vega and If Martin Lopez are also with you at your ,f headquarters? g Yes" the general answered. You l, can say that I am here: that is all | | want to say now about military af- d fairs.
