Huerta Orders Destruction in Northern Mexico

The Mexican revolutionists have been successful in their steady advance toward the capital city. Seeming to realize the impossibility of capturing the country from the rebels, Victoriano Huerta has ordered the remnants of his army to begin a campaign of destruction, making northern Mexico practically a wilderness, and untenable for Pancho Villa and his followers. Villages and towns are to be laid waste, and farms completely destroyed.
