T6rCms on which he gave simple march
ing orders. These drums took the
place of the voice c. trumpet, and had
the advantage by their peculiar noise
of making it difficult for the enemy
to locate the source of the sound. In
military service with his Mexican
reighbors The Yaqui developed more
extensive system of drum signals,
until his officers could command large
numbers of men to make all manner
of movements. The Yaqui unlike
other Indians always had marched in
military formation until deployed for
action. Many battles were won merely
by the noise of their Yaqui drums
which seemed to terrorize the enemy
when the sounds of the beats appeared
to come from all directions. In some
cases a few Yaqui drummers would
crawl to the enemy's flanks and by
beating out some signal make it ap-
pear that the position was being
surrounded.
No reliable information is available
as to the Yaqui's actual numerical
strength so varying are the reports of
the Mexican military authorities and
American settlers. But it is known
that several thousand rifles mostly of
the military model. are in the hands
of the Indians, and that large amounts
of ammunition have been obtained by
the hill tribesmen. The Yaquis man.

Lord Norbury has engaged a little
simple-furnished bedroom and is
doing his own valeting. The butler
says His Lordship is paying work
mems rent, and is taking his meals
with the other workmen in the general
canteen. His Lordship had put in a
few hours work and was sitting with
the after-breakfast crowd in the can
teen before being recognized by a
blue-suited laborer who then came over
and spoke to him. "How do you do
old chap, glad to meet you," said the
workman putting out his hand which
the peer cordially shook. Another
workman was heard to remark, 81

put him flying to a thing or two if he

to tell him thing twice, and he is
quite sport too. "Nobby" is the
nickname for his lordship amongst his
fellow workmen.

leaders were controlling the Maytor-
ena government. These were denied
officially until the more recent de-
velopments showed that the so-called
"pacifico" Yaquis were working in
conjunction with their 'broncho" or
wild, brothers in their lifelong at
tempt to regain the valley farming
lnds now developed to high degree
by the American farmers. The Am
erican colonists had bought the land
from the Mexican owners, who in turn
had secured it through government or
private concessions in about the same
manner as the American Indians ter
ritory in the United States was colon
lied and developed. The state govern
ment found itself powerless to pre-
vent the raids by the "broncho" In
dams on the American settlements
since the large proportion of Indian
troops would not permit warfare
against their hill tribesmen. This led
to the sending down the west coast
of American marines with orders to
land if necessary to save the lives of
the American settlers who though in
grave danger would not leave their
farms in fear of losing their crops
and property.
The Yaquis' rival, but first cousin,
is the Mayo Indian whose lands
closely adjoin the Yaqui Valley. The
Mayo though of good fighting ability
and frequently victorious over the
Yaqui tribe, is of more peaceful in
clination and has retained by diplo-
matte means some valuable farming
land. The Mayo also entered the
revolutionary struggle. Large num-
bers of the Mayo braves joined the
Carranza ranks, and have been assist.
ing materially in the Obregon vic
tories over the Villa army in central
Mexico. This left the Yaqui in undis-
puted control in Sonora. The plan,
formerly suggested, Of playing the
Mayo against the Yaqui could not be
employed since the bulk of the Mayo
fighting men had been removed
The racial characteristics of the
Yaqui of Mexico are similar to those
of the Apache, who caused continued
warfare in the early development of
the southwestern United States. The
Yaqui is credited with direct relation
ship to the Apache. Like his northern
cousin, the Yaqui has been guilty of
all manner of brutality Effected
against his prisoners, and is known
to have employed modes of torture as
skillful as those of the ancient Chin
csc This has caused a fear of the
Yaqui which was not due entirely to
his military ability. The Yaqui was
the first Mexican tribe to become fully
armed with rifles, and to become skill
full in their use. Other tribes along
the west coast still employ the bow
and arrow for hunting and in some
cases in fighting any alien invaders.
While retaining his tribal tongue
and savage customs, the Yaqui be-
came skilled in military methods. He
kept his skilful manner of guerrilla
warfare. but adopted to a large extent
some European methods. In the at
tacks on the Sonora-Arizona border
towns the Yaqui troops made desper-
ate assaults on the Carranza trenches,
charging the positions much in the
manner of the European soldier. I'll
