Villa Declared War Plan Against United States in Oct
Columbus N M March 10 Papers dropped by Francisco Villa in his flight after yesterday’s attack on Columbus showed he had decided last October to wage war against Americans. The documents trace his campaign from Sonora to Agua Prieta and include a suspected mine confiscation plot near Colonia Moreloy with pledges of Mexican residents to support Villa. A $25 000 gold receipt from the Consolidated Cananea Copper Company appears to fund efforts after Villa’s retreat, while a January 6 1916 letter invites Emiliano Zapata to join a northward assault on the United States. Villa blames Carranza for losses at Agua Prieta and says Mexico’s sovereignty was invaded by U S actions at Douglas, Ariz.
