A U S official rejects any peace overture from Villa as unworthy of consideration. Villa reportedly offers to halt killings of foreigners and protect them in exchange for non intervention in his campaign against Carranza. Villa’s forces are believed to number about 8,000 with heavy arms. Reports place a planned attack on Chihuahua City within three weeks, possibly shifting toward Torreon, while killings of Americans and others are confirmed from Santa Rosalia to Jimenez.
