VILLA ANNOUNCES HE
IS GOING To JAPAN
TO GET. AMMUNITION

FL Paso, Texas, July 23.-Francisco
villa and Gen. Felipe Angeles have dis
banded their forces until September and
announced to their troops that they
would go to Japan in an effort to obtain
ammunition for the Villa revolution,
Americans who arrived here last night
from Chihuahua City reported They
said Villa issued an order to his men
telling them to return to their homes
until fail, when he would call them
together again.
This report also was given out in Jua-
rez by Gen. Ysidro Crodona, who ar
rived on the same train. He said this
was announced in an official military
bulletin in Chihuahua City by Gen.
Manuel Dieguez.
The Americans We're inclined to doubt
the report that Villa and Angeles in
tended going to Japan. saying this
probably was given out by Villa to eX-
plain his reason for disbanding his
forces. They said Villa probably would
retire to the Durango mountains until
ready to resume the campaign in the
fall
Villa partisans here deny the reports
that Villa was disbanding his men and
claimed rebels under Nicolas Fernandez
captured a wagon train of ammunition
from the Carranza troops recently.
