asked regarding the rumors that thero
was friction between him and Gen
eral Carranxa. the constitutionalist
commander-in-chief.
"I am a soldier and my whole life's
devotion Is to fight for my country.
said the northern division commander
"I shall always lead my troops where
theencroy of my country s to bo en
countered'
Questioned as to the Intimation that
he had failed to rush troops to (he aid
of General Natera at ZacatecaB Gen
eral Villa said-
"The truth of the matter Is that
they wanted me to have troops there
In two days when It Is barely possi-
ble to get them there In five. The
condition of the railroad Ib such that
a better performance was Impossi-
ble ' General Villa was averse to dis
cussing the results of General Nat-
era's attack on zacatecas.
"I am now mobilizing my troops
and In a few days will present them
In person to the federals said villa.
AH of the troop are well supplied
with munitions. Every cartrlde belt
is full and I have about 0.000000
rounds In reserve. My artillery at
present consists of fifty-one pieces
all of them in the best condition and
there are 11600 shells for them.'
It U expected that General Villa
will leave for Zacatecaa within the
next three of four days and it Is cer-
tain that the attack on that federal
stronghold then will begla la wrat.
