THE GEORGIAN’S NEWS BRIEFS 7 NOTHING SAVE EXILE OF HUERTA TO SATISFY REBELS PEACE TILL THEN General Villa Says Anti-Federals Control North Mexico and Are Growing Stronger Daily. CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO. Dec. 28. “Nothing less than the fall of Huerta and his banishment from the country will ever be considered as a prelim inary toward peace in Mexico,” said General Francisco Villa to-day. ‘‘Any overtures for a • compromise would be treated with contempt by the revolutionists.” General Villa was prompted to dis cuss the subject because of the repe- tion of a report from Mexico City that General Huerta might resign in favor of a member of his cabinet. As the report also stated that General Huerta was talking of taking the field against the rebels, it was not consid ered in any way as a possible peace move. The subject of peace, however, came up in General Villa’s councils and the rebel leader was moved to outline the rebels’ views in case fu ture events brought them to consid eration. Terms of Rebels. In substance the terms demanded by the rebels are: “The elimination of General Huerta and his supporters. “The complete surrender to the Constitutionalists’ cause of politicians now opposing it. “The restoration of the constitution. “The selection of a provisional President acceptable to the Consti tutionalists and provisions for a popular election. “Guarantee of a change in the land laws so that deeds to land would be more generally distributed. "Ratification of confication by the rebels of the vast Terrazas, Creel and other estates, valued at many millions of dollars. “Nullification of all acts of the Huerta regime.” Opinions of General Villa’s advisers were that General Huerta would not resign and that the rebels must ad here to their original plan of fighting their way to Mexico City. “Our case has progressed to such a point' that we would treat any sug gestions of a compromise with con tempt,” said General Villa. Huerta Regarded as Traitor. “We regard Huerta as a traitor who has dragged his country .for his per sonal ambitions. We have gone through so much distress for the sake of freedom that we would not now stop short of it. “Within a few months, we have won almost all of the North from the , usurper. Our forces have increased from a few hundred until now they number more than 20,000. This num ber grew, for in every city we take, hundreds are ready to join. By the time w T e reach the City of Mexico, W’e shall have enough men in arms to completely overwhelm the Fed- erals, and we intend to fight until there is no more fighting to do.” The idea that General Huerta might take the field against the reb els, General Villa said, caused no terror to him, although General Huerta is familiar with the north country, having commanded forces here during the Orozco revolt against Madero. The rebels are confident that as soon as the expedition against the Federals at Ojinaga is settled they will be in a position to advance southward without leaving Federals in their rear.

Delegations of Strikers. Delegations of strikers began com ing into Calumet early in the day. The special train of nine coaches brought hundreds of federationists from the iron mines of Wegaunee and Ishpheming and every town and min ing location in the copper country sent members and friends of the union to swell the ranks of marchers in the afternoon. By noon the union host was assem bled. Months of experience in dem onstrating their numbers by parading had taught the men to form ranks quickly and with little delay they lined up four abreast. The supply of hearses was inade quate, and there were only fourteen of these vehicles in the van. Then came three undertakers’ wagons and an automobile truck, the latter carry ing three coffins. These vehicles con tained the adult victims and the older children. Beside one marched eight women who acted as pallbearers tox a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Western Federation.
