Calles in an immediate attack upon ‘Torreon is becoming evident as his cam- paign advances. By clearing up Du- rango and obtaining control of the rail head there and by obtaining control of the three rail lines between Saltillo, Monterey and Torreon he has left the rebels but one direction in which retreat is possible—northward to Chihuahua. Even should they choose to defend Torreon, an encircling movement would take this last avenue of retreat from them. Their position has become that of a natural and artificial cul de sac, om which extrication may be diffi- ult, Meanwhile there were other aspects | to the revolution. ~Gen. Calles ordered | | the Jarge force of federals which en- | yya(;ed in the clean-up of Vera Cruz to , proceed to Irapuato, Guanajuato, to {join with militant agrarians there in holding in check the so-called religious rebels who have menaced Western and | Central Mexico for the last two yvears. ‘This force also could prevent a flanking |attack on the federals by the rebe]n. | who are now operating on the west | 11cos,;<’t, should they decide to come in- and. | These west coast rebels, government | reports said. have been inactive for sev- {eral days and are demoralized by the | recent string of federal victories.
