Battle of Statements
BY FREDERICK C. OTHNIAN,
United Press staT Correspondent


Ell PASO, Tex, March 11.--As
rebel and federal forces concentrate
ed today near Torreon for a battle
that may decide the revolution, a
"battle" of statements was being
waged merilly here and in Jaurez,
across the boarder.
Revolutionary generals, of which
there are many, acted as press
agents for their side and claimed
the entire northern part of Mexico
from Juarez west and said 10000
troops were ready to pounce on
federals at Torreon.
Insist Claims Exaggerated
The Mexican consulate here acted
in the same capacity for the gov
ernment, saying rebel claims were
exaggerated.
There was great activity in Juarez,
wrested from a handful of federal
troops Friday after short but
bloody battle. Supplies and addi-
tional troops were being sent south
to the battle area where the rebels
expect to meet the forces of Plu-
tarco Elias Gales, former president
and now leading an army to crush
the revolt.
Clash Expected Soon
Rebels have placed strict censor
ship on all telegraph lines leading
from Juarez to the Torreon zone.
Rebels and federals are expected
to clash near Torreon, capital OF
Durango, Tuesday or Wednesday.
General Marcelino Murrieta, COM
nlander at Juarez. declined to dis
cuss troops movements on the
ground it might result in iaEapered
movements.
