Washington, Dec. 20.?Gratification and relief were frankly displayed by administration officials today when news came from El Paso that 11 of Gen. Villa's generals and leaders had signed an agreement to turn the rebel army of the north over to the d-e facto government of Mexico. Confidence is felt here in the reported promise of Villa to eliminate himself and if he crosses the American border he will find a free road. Villa's withdrawal and the incor: poration of his army into that of the de facto government are regarded here as indicative of early peace in Mexico, and' at least will pave the way for reducing materially the strong patrol the United States 'has been obliged to maintain along the border. His elimination, it is believed, will leave Carranza free to concentrate his forces against the rebellious bandits still operating in tne interior and near j che capital. With the fighting transferred to the I interior the Washington administration j .vill watch developments- less anxiousy than when battles were being fought along the boundary line. It is realized, i however, that Carranza's army has j before it many months of serious fight- j ing before he can assure foreign dip- ; lcmats that his rulership is undisputed. I < Advices to the state department do | not indicate how many men are oper- j ating in other parts of the republic j against the de facto government, but ! estimates based on official and unof- j ficial information place the number at j many thousands greater than the Villa force in the north. Under Zapata, the Cedillo brothers | and several former army officers o: i I past regimes, organizations are in the j < field in San Duis Potosi, Vera Cruz, ! I Morelos, Tepic, Jalisco, Michoican, j Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Sonora | md Sinaloa. Not all these are strong | organizations, and by the Carranza government they are styled bandit fori :he greater part, although it. is ad- j nitted that those operating south and ?ast of Mexico City are formidable. j< "Safety First."
