Torreon, Mexico, April 4. There Is
blood on every lintel and crepe on
every door In Torreon and women are
weeping- In the streets. Not in the
history of warfare In Mexico, from the
landing of Cortes until the present
time, has any city suffered In, attack
mors heavily than did Torreon In the
repeated charges made by General
Villa's victorious array.
Hardly a household escaped. From
every one, a father, a brother, a hus
band or sweetheart is numbered among
the killed, wounded or nil suing, the
result of the terrible onslaught mads
by General V ilia's constitutionalists.
The phynlcai wreckage wrought Is
rapidly boinsr cleared up, but the
heartaches, though stoically endured,
will linger.
Though actual figures relating to
federal losses probably never will be
obtained. It Is believed that the killed
will number over 1000 and the wound
ed probably twice as many more. Of
the latter between 400 and BOO were
ho badly crippled that they could not
b' moved and are being cared far by
the constitutionalist hospital corps.
