Would Be Serious Menace
Villa, if he does decide to take the
war path again, will be the most seri-
Gus menace to the new government
getting under way in Mexico, all
sides agree.
There are no Americans in the

a report on the border that an Amer
lean mining man was being held by
Villa, according to General Villa.
Villa told of several instances
where Americans had been held cap
tive by him to learn their views and
of happenings in the world outside,
but no American nor other foreigner
had been harmed by his band in
many months, he said. >,
General Villa branded as "a quake"
a signed article appearing in some
newspapers in the United States on
Sunday last, in which the writer told
of a trip to Villas camp at Ortiz
and purported to quote him at
length. At the time the writer said
he was visiting Villa, the rebel band
was camped here many miles south
Of Ortiz.
One special writer visited the gen
eral two or three weeks ago and did
obtain authentic information and
photographs, General Villa said. This
writer, besides the correspondent OF
the Associated Press, was the only
newspaper man to venture to General
Villas whereabouts since last June,
when Villa attacked Juarez, Mexico,
and was driven from the border by
American soldiers.
