 THINNING RANKS IT .THE YAQUI5
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

DOUGLAS, Ariz., May 23.-That starvation is rapidly decimating the ranks of the Yaqui Indians as a re- suit of the de factO troops having driven them from their sources of food supply, was the statement of Colonel Miguel $. Samaniego, who has arrived in Agua Prieta to visit his family after a years campaign in the Yaqui river valley. Colonel Sam iniego predicted that the campaign would be brought to a definite con- clusion within a few weeks, with the hostiles scattered, their women, chill dren and men in the hands of the Mexican authorities and their noun tain strongholds garrisoned by Mexi- can soldiers.
 The Indians have been driven out of the supposedly impregnable Baca- tete mountais range. he said. The plan of campaign of the de facto forces has been to strongly garrison each town and ranch where food could be obtained, while cavalry commands patrol all roads and noun | tain trails.
 | As a result the greater part of the men of the tribe. greatly weakened ! by hunger, have been driven north steadily toward the Chihuahua bor der, travelling in small bands. The old men and women have been placed in concentration camps in Guaymas The children have been sent to Her mosillo and placed in a special school which has been established for them by General P Elias Gales, con- mander in chief of the Sonora forces
 Colonel Samineigo said that witt the close of this campaign the Yaqu problem will have been settled def initely and forever Starvation is de feating the warning tribes and the! will be relentlessly pursued until al have succumbed to hunger and priva

WORK LIN RIVERS

 BILL COMPL PLETE
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Con- sideration of committee amendments to the rivers and harbors appropria- ton bill was completed by the senate today after two weeks of debate. The only important change made has been the restoration of S20O,OOO appro- pration for deepening East river, New York, which was put into the bill by the house at the request of the presi- dent and stricken out by the senate committee.
 Many senators have amendments, and Senator Kenyon and Sherman have shown no signs of abandoning their filibuster, so there is no saying when a final vote will be reached. Op- position, to the measure was stimu- lated today by an announcement by Senator Taggart, democrat, that he would. not vote for it unless >the $43, ,00O,0O0 total was reduced by fif- teen or twenty millions.
 Over a vigorous protest by Senator SmOot, the senate sustained a com mittee provision for a preliminary survey of the Brazos, Colorado and Trinity rivers, in Texas, flood proven ton and the extent to which the na- tiohal government should cooperate with the states in carrying out thu plans.
 A special rule to provide for imme, diate consideration of the naval ap propriation bill with night sessions { limited period of general debate and ; final vote not later than Friday O Saturday of next week, will be brough into the house next Monday.
 Majority Leader Kitchin an nounced this plan tonight after : heated debate between democratic an' republican leaders on the floor durini which MT Kitchin and Republican | Leader Mann accused each other a mis-stating what took place at thei informal conference on calling up tn measures. MT. Kitchin insisted tha republicans had tacitly agreed to tn plan which democrats now plan t force through a special rule while Nil Mann maintained that no understand ing has been reached.
 The indications are that virtually
 solid democratic majority will vote fo the bill as reported by the naval com mittee with its provision for five grea s2O,OO0,000 battle cruisers. Dread

 the senate to add about two battleshiI

French War Office Describes Fighting As Murderous, Each Attack Preceded With Violent Artillery Fire. French Hold Out
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

The Germans have replied to the terrific French offensive in the Dou- aumont region with assault after as- sault and the deadly combat north east and northwest of Verdun still is in progress. Heavy masses of Ger man troops have been thrown against the picked French troops, whose sue cessful attacks won for them the greater portions of Fort Douaumont and considerable German territory adjacent to the fort, of high strategic value.
 These newly captured positions the French have tenaciously held Par ticular mention is made by the of the position in Fort Douaumont conquered by the French Monday. fine fighting at this point is charac- terized by Paris as "a murderous struggle" Each attack was pre- ceded by powerful artillery prepara = tiOns.
 Although they were hard held to the northeast, the Germans would not 1 be denied at Le Morte Homme and
 
 ] the French and machine guns with sanguinary losses in several attacks 1 finally gained footing in trenches to the west of this much fought fol position. Their tenure of the trenches was short lived, however for the l French, in counter attack, imme- | diately drove them out.
 Italy's first anniversary of her en- try into the war found her troops or at least one sector in southern Tyro forced back by the great Austrian offensive upon Italian soil, and il general retirement to their main line of defense from the region south O Rovere to the valley Sugana, south east of Trent
 Rome admits that between the As tico and Brenta rivers and in tn Sugana valley the Italians have fallel back on their main lines of defense While Rome asserts that the opera tions were carried out in perfect or der after the Italians had repulse Austrian attacks against the ad lvanced line, Vienna says that in tn retreat from Borgo the Italians wer forced across the border by the Aus trians.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex. May B. Reports that Colonel Luis Morin and Victoriano Ponce, alleged Mex lcan outlaws. had been killed by Texas rangers, seventy-five miles north of Brownsville last night when the Mexicans attempted to escape from custody, still were without official confirmation to- night. The Sheriffs of KIeberg and Wallace counties reported they had not seen Morin or Ponce since they were turned over to rangers yesterday, presumably to be brought to Brownsville, where murder charges have been placed against them.
 It was suggested that possibly the rangers mad taken the two men to some isolated place for safe keeping.

Following News of With drawal of Second Punitive Expedition, Word Comes Obregon Orders 3O,OOO Troops In Bandit Hunt
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON. May 23.-Reports to the state and war departments to- day further indicated plans of the Ca rranza government to vigorously pros ecute pursuit of Chihuahua outlaw bandits while the American forces re- main comparatively acquiescent.
 Closely following news of withdrawal from Mexico of the second American punitive expedition sent from Boquillas. Texas, information reached the state department that General Obregon had ordered 30,000 troops to join the ban dit hunt in Chihuahua and along the Big Bend border.
 Delay in opening diplomatic negoti- atons over the question of American troops remaining in Mexico also was in- dicated in official dispatches state de- partment officials said that receipt of the new note being prepared by Gen eral Carranza was not expected before next week. It was thought probable that retirement of the Big Bend expe dition to American soil had presented a new situation in connection with rep resentatiOns contemplated in General Carranzas new note.
 | Secretary Baker said tonight that the I Sibley Langhorne expedition was not withdrawn upon orders from Wash ington. Officials here believed the American forces lost the "hot trail" of the bandits who raided Glenn Springs and Boquillas, and retired because their forces could accomplish no good by re- maining across the border.
 Whether the 116 national guardsmen of Texas who refused to be mustered into the federal service shall be court martialed has not been determined. Judge Advocate General Crowder to- day withdrew an opinion submitted to General Scott, chief of staff, which outlined the war departments author ity and rules of procedure. General Crowder desires to consider whether the new army reorganization bill, just passed by congress, will affact the sit uation.
 The record of the Texas guardsmen in responding to President Wilson's 5 call for border duty was defeated to- 5 day by Representative Slayden of { Texas.
 { Less then three per cent of the ) guard have failed to answer the sum- 2 mons," he said, and in view of the fact , that many of the men have families to
 support and other affairs which might f prevent their immediate response. the 2 proportion seems very small to me- MT. Slayden produced figures tc a show that the membership of the guard z had increased in Texas within the last

POPULAR GOVERNMENT is OVER.
THROWN In SOUTH DAKOTAl
Shall the People Rule?

Oficialdom has repealed the
Richards primary law which the
people adopted by the direct vote
in 1912, and which the people,
themselves refused to repeal by a
second vote in 1914. The 1915
legislature, nevertheless, repealed
it and also attached the emergency
clause to prevent the people from
referring this act of the legislature
to a vote.
The politicians do not want the
Richards law. They want the Sc
cret spoils system for the few, in
place of the open merit system for
everybody. They want the pre-
sent confused ballot. They do not
want issues discussed so the people
can hear both sides before thev
vote as is provided in the Richards
law.
The people have therefore again
petitioned for the Richards law
in amended form to be voted on at
November election. Vote "YES',
and put it back to give it a fair
trial, and let omciaIdom know that
under God the People Rule in
South Dakota. .-(Adv.)
