Villa plans to renew raids on United States
Francisco Villa in Chihuahua City said he would split his forces into groups of twenty five to spread along the U S border to loot and burn property. A letter from a prominent Chihuahua City businessman in Washington reported Villa planned to raise 25000 men, issue proclamations on the American side, and seize 20000000 rounds of ammunition hidden in the desert. The letter notes Villa captured rifles and cannons from Carranza forces and warned of an attack on U S targets while denying plans to attack General Pershing’s column.
