Canitas and Durango City.
MEXICO CITY, March IA (R)-The
drive designed by the Mexican govern
ment to break the backbone of the rev.
c.ution in the North gathered momen-
tum today.
Three federal columns moved from
Eastern Coahuila relentlessly upon Tor
reon, held by the principal rebel army
under Gen. j. Gonzalo Escobar.
Retreating rebels resorted to skirmish-
ing and desultory fighting to harass
their attackers and some casualties
were reported. Generally speaking,
their principal concern was to reach the
comparative safety at Torreon, how
ever.
Gales Moves Headquarters.
One hundred and fifty miles to the
south OF Torreon, Gen. Gales moved
his headquarters to Frio, Zacatecas,
near the Durango border, to direct from
there concentration of the huge feder-
al army which he relied upon to take
Torreon and smash the rebellion with
a decisive blow.
There were indications that If the
rebels chose to defend their strong
hold, its capture may be more difficult
than some of the more optimistic have
anticipated. The city is in the center
of hilly region affording fine natural
Notifications, and If properly defended,
might resist strong assault for some
