SAYS TROUBLE JUST BEGUN
An Arizona Newspaper Man
Who Has Been With the Rebels Says Long
Warfare is Inevitable

STUDY AND OBSERVATION OF REBEL METHODS

"Despite the fact that the present
revolution seems to have reached the
plane of guerrilla warfare, the northern
part of the republic and
many portions of the interior states are nearly
solid against the Madero government.
The actual revolution therefore is
hardly begun," says George H. Clements.

Mr. Clements is a well known
Arizona newspaper man, who for the
last five months has been the Associated
Press correspondent with the
forces of Orozco. He is the man who
is chiefly responsible for the news of
the revolt and the battles that were
fought between the federals and rebels
in Chihuahua and Durango, following
the capture of Chihuahua by
Orozco
during the middle of March. Since
he went to Chihuahua with the Orozco
troops at that time he has been continuously with the rebels, leaving the
republic at Douglas yesterday.
