VILLA SAYS HE
CAN WHIP UNCLE SAM
Disguested With Permnilssion Allowed
Carranza to lUse American Soil.
Douglas, Ariz., Oct. 31.-Villa
troops invading Sonora arrived today
within striking distance of Agua
Prieta, opposite here, and the ex
pected attack against the Carranza
garrison apparently is a matter of
hours. Advance cavalry of the in
vaders halted late today three and a
half miles east of Agua Prieto.
Gen. Villa, who arrived at the in
ternational border several milea f;ir
ther east a few hours earlier, talked
with Americans across the boundary
and announced that he intendedl to at
tack the Mexican town regardless of
any action United States troops
might take.
"If necessary fight the United
States army assem'bled along the bor
der," he said.
'Gen. Villa earned for the first
time this afternoon that permission
had been given Gen. Carranza by the
United States government to move
troops through American territor'y
to reinofrce the Agua Pieta garrison.
Villa is personally supeilvising the
placing of his troops for attack on
the town.
Four Carranza troop trains jour
neying through the U'nited States ar
rivbd tonight bringing the fighting
strength of the Carranza garrison to
approximnately 6,000.
Villa, according to reliable esti
mates, has 10,000 soldiers. ile claims
to have 18,000. It was ex1elced here
that Villa would open the engage
mnut as filiickly as possible because of
the Condition of the lien, thousands
of whom were thirsty toniglit and in
positionis far from water and with
scant supliies of food. This was learn
ed fronm Villa huimself and from three
mexican ranchnien who arrivedl here
tonight stripped of all they possessed.
It is belleved Villa con temn plates mov
ing his main body into position somne
time during the night following one
of his favorite plans."
The main body of Villa soldiers
formed a juncture with their advance
troops at the Gallardo ranch, 18 miles
southeast of Agua Pieta. The at
tacking army then started forward
for the final advance on the Carranza
defenses.
Col. Florencio )iaz., commanding
appr'oxianetly 1.510 cavalry, preceded
the invaders at the Gallardo ranch
andI halted his forces just beyond the
range of the guns of Gen. P. l'lias
Calles, Carrariza coinmander at Agura
Pieta.
'Brig. Glen. Thomas F. l)avis, coM
mnnilding tiited States troop's en
trennclhed near tle Mexilan I lne. imade
it careful inspoletion of his men. lie
also kept a close watch of the \texi
can military moveients plainly to
be seen fromr the Anerican side of
the border.
Thousands of spectators witnessed
during the afternoon the first firing
incident to the expected attack. A
horseman, believed to have been a
Carranza spy, suddenly broke away
from the Villa column and raced for
his life from a shower of bullets for
the beleaguered Mexica town.
Several of the Villa soldiers went
in pursuit, firing as they rode, but
the man reach Agua Pr'ieta, appar
ently uninjured.
Three thousand Villa troops,
mounted and afoot, andI driving pack
animals, applarently loaded~ with mia
chine guns or unnmouinted cannon.
wore at a point four miles east of
D~ouglas and about thne same distiance
south of the inter'nationral boundary.

of the garrison. It was during this

Pointing his finger towa rds t he
town lie added:
'There is food and rest for our mien.
We may have to tight the whole
Ameriean armuy. if necessary, but rio
matter. it will be ours."
Sudditenly Villa asked again if it
were true that the United States gov
ernent hnad permit t Gen Carranl.at
to transport reinforcemernts over
American territory, lie then said:
"T'P is the way the linited States
repi. no for the treatment andI pro

Mexico or in nmy territory.
"I am through with the United
States; I can fight my battleg. Let
them fight theirs.
"dI can whip. Carranza and his en
tire army, but it is asking a great deal
to whip the United States too; but I
can do that too."
Villa saidt that his enire plan of
campaign had been imapped out. Villa
declined to pose for a photograph.
"No more of my pictures for the
United States," lie ex plained smiling
13y. Part of the advance guard ap
Proached and asked about water.
They were told that there was water
at, the Gallardo ranch.
"Oh," replied a Mexican ofilcer,
we have drunk all the water there."
No More Water.
This ollcer also stated that the do
tachmnent of 3,000 last seen deploying
on the desert four miles east of Agua
Prieta was almost entirely without
water.
The border line was closed tonight,
but arrangements were made by
United States immigration authorities
to admit under guard thousands of
refugees from Agua Prieta, whose
number was augmented by women
and children camp followers, with the
Carranza contingent arriving over
American territory from Laredo.
Officials denied that refugees and
camp followers would not be allowed
to cross until firing actually began.
Most of the Calles troops remained
in their trenches tonight. Search
lights played on the brush covered
mesa over which the Villa forces
must advance to the attack.
Gen. Calles sent to Douglas tonight
nearly 2,000 head of horses, Including
those brought from Laredo and leagle
Pass, thuis revealing that he has no
intention of going out to attack Villa,
but would await an attack on the gar
rison.
Gen. Davis said lie has received no
word from Villa.
"I (10 not want to talk to any of
them," he saild.
