LONDON, April although the
French are conducting sustained
and somewhat formidable offensive
between the Meuse and Moselle in an
effort to dislOdge the Germans from
st. Mhiel, the southernmost point on
their line, the demeanor of the al
lied armies as a whole indicates a
disposition to await the outcome of
Russa's gigantic plan to force the
Carpathian barrier. Germany is
thought to be pouring troops into
Hungary, even to the extent of weak
ening its own forces in Flanders.
There is less talk in England of the
spring advance of the allies in France
and Belgium and an increasing ap-
probation of the task Russia is at
tempting.
This leads to the belief in some
quarters that the leaders of the allied
armies in the west are reckoning on a
heavy cost incident to smashing the
German line there, and may perhaps
seek to hold their ground in the be-
lief the Russians will succeed in in
| ing hands with The allied forces by
working northwad through Serbia
and thus. what their opponents re-
gard as the weakest of the Teutonic
allies, Austro- Hungary, will be invad /
ed Without the loss of life that an
attempt to 0rive the Germans from
France and Belgium would entail.
NIL hA
| baIdment of the Dardanelles will be
continued as the slortest, if the most
costly method Of crushing Turkey.
Reports that Smyrna was lombard
ed again lack official confirmation
and absence of news from the Darda-
neiles is taken by some to mean that
important operations are under way
the details of which will later be made
known.
British forces in occupying Warm
bad, IN German southwest Africa, have
taken what is considered the south
ern capital and the terminus of the
railway system.
Excluding the activity of military
operations, the questions of muni-
tons and alcohol dominate the pub
lie mind in Great Britain. Lort
Kitchener will take an important stel
tonight by the appointment of a com.
mittee to round up labor sufficient t,
produce munitions commensurate will
the Tremendous demand. and the TEN

the effect of increasing the produc

In Montenegro
IAssoc1ArED PRESS p1spArcHl

WASHINGTON, April e.-An appeal
to the American Red Cross from the
Montenegrin government for aid in
fighting a typhus epidemic was re-
ceived through the state department
The department announced its appeal
in the following statement:
The department has just received n
telegram from the American minister

formed by telegraph by the Monteneg-

phus in that country and a great dearth

BY Close Vote Repeal of
Three Ordinances is IF
fected and by Larger Ma

Complete returns on the vote for
commissioner from all but the First
precinct of the Second Ward. where
the count was still in progress at 3
O'Clock this morning, indicate the
election of Oscar T. Richey and
George n. MacBean over f. A. Jones
and Clinton Campbell. Through the
untiring efforts of old line Repub-
licans, Messrs. Richey and MacBean
rolled up handsome majOrities in the
face of a campaign by the Jones
for Commissioner Club that was un-
firing in the latter days of the cam
paign and which seemingly was des-
tined to land the corporation COM
missioner in the city office.
Clinton Campbell the low man on
the ticket did not engage in an active
campaign, and there was a general be-
lief that Richey would be elected, so
that the contest in the final days
seemed to dwindle down to the question
OF whether Jones would be elected or
whether MacBean would poll enough
votes to defeat him.
MacBean's campaign was conducted
along conservative, business like lines
and the old line republicans, working
for Richey, threw their support to him
as opposed to Jones, a democrat
While the candidacy of none was
conducted along partisan lines, Richey
and MacBean are recognized as re-
victory for the republicans of this
city
AS will be seen by the table pre-
sented herewith Richey led the ticket
by a good majority with MacBean a
good second.
They will take office on Saturday
morning. May l, at 10 O'Clock for IL
term Of two years.
1t was a comparatively quiet cleo
tion day. out of the 5000 or more
citizens registered hardly 1000 took
advantage of the opportunity to re-
gister their wishes as to the COM
mission or to express approval or dis

the victory of the two republicans

The count of the ballots was ex-
ceedingly slow, the first ward to COM

a process of reconstruction, and most
of which are already rented but not
at the present time occupied. Then
there are some of the new buildings
or rather store rooms in new build
ings, un-rented.
1T is easily seen, therefore, that
just as soon as there is the slightest
upward tendency Phoenix will be
short both on residence property and
store rooms. The fact is that at the
present time there are few desirable
residences for rent. The present sit
uation will probably continue through
the summer but there is not the
slightest doubt that next October will
find the city short of residence prop
erty, and that every business block
will be fully occupied.

NOT ACCEDE To
VILLA PROPOSAL
Reports Indicate He Will
Not Consent to Neutrali-
zation Of Mexico City -
Villa and Obregon Ex-
pected to Clash Soon
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Intima-
tions have come to the American gov
ernment that General Carranza will
not consent to the naturalization Of
Mexico City as proposed and agreed
to by the Villa -Zapata forces. No
definite answer has yet been received
to the American note on the subject
sent to the two factions but prelim-
mary reports to the state department
indicae CarranZa is unwilling to ac-
cept the proposal. 1t is believed,
however, that arrangements may be
made for the uninterrupted passage
of trains to and from Mexico City
and Vera Cruz, though n decision on
this point also has not been reached
by Carranza.
The state departments summary OF
the military situation in Mexico is:
"Advices dated April 4 state that
Obregon is thirty kilometers south
of Irapuoto and it is reported has
an army of 10000 The army of Villa
was preparing tp leave Irapuoto at
noon on the fourth, expecting to meet
| Obregons forces the morning of the
fifth. Villa is ready to leave Ira
puoto to take personal charge of the
operations. The latest advices from
Yucatan indicate everything is quiet
at Progreso and Merida. The Staven
geren sailed from Progress to New
| Orleans with two thousand bales OF
sisal. Advices state the railroads al
! Yucatan are taken over by Genera
| Alvaredo."
CarranZa telegraphed his agenc.
| here today that General Salvador AL
varado, military governor of Yucatar
has won the confidence of the peopl
and was enthusiastically welcome
when he recently made a tour of tn
principal towns of the state.

MRS. MACKENZIE
WANTS TO VOTE

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
constitutionality of the federal law
Of 1907 expatriating American wo-
men marrying foreigners, was at
tackled by Mrs. Ethel C. Mackenzie
of San Francisco in a brief filed in
: the supreme court. She was denied
the right to vote in San Francisco
on the ground that she lost her
citizenship by marrying Gordan
Mackenzie, a subject of Great Bri-
tain, living in California.
Mrs. MackenZie's argument was
that congress cannot, merely be-
cause she entered marriage, take
away her citizenship as long as
she remains in the United States.
She points to states granting full
or partial woman suffrage as evil
dence that a husband and wife
can no longer be considered as
politically one, with their identity
merged into one.

needed.
Secretary Bryan said that an inves-
tigation had been begun when the in
cident was first reported but was not
