officials at O'Clock this morning plac-
ed the dead close to $500.
The scene as dawn broke over the city
was indescribable. Here and there about
the smoking ruins Of what had been
their homes men and women scantily
clad, clawed at the wreckage frantically
with bleeding hands in an effort to
find lost relatives.
Every hour brings additional rescue
workers-nurses and doctors with am
balances and surgical supplies. Long
lines of sobbing men and women began
early today to file past the rows of
blanket-covere dead
Heart-Rending Scenes.
Women shrieked as they drew aside
a blanket and recognized a loved one.
Men sobbed over the bodies of child
rem, while others, white faced and hag-
gard, stunned by the catastrophe recog-
nized trinkets of bits of clothing on
mangled and burned bodies, hoping to
establish their identity.
The most pitiful of all was the row
of little figures that represented the
little children who yesterday were
struck down in their school, on the
streets, even while playing on theii
doorstep.
There was one tiny, golden haireC
girl of about four years. She showed M
surface wounds and lay among the
others, dilapidated doll by her side

She was wrapped in an old overcoat.
Mangled Beyond Recognition.
In the common are other still fvrm
covered with blankets. Many are burn
ed beyond recognition and other mang
led. Some probably never will be iden
titled. Today a slowly rising pail o
smoke hung over the devastated suburb
of Richmond and while soldiers and sail
ors patrol the wrecked streets, the worl
of digging out the mangled and burne,
victims is going on.
Hundreds of wounded are in hospital
in and near the city, many hoverinj

bandages, limping or being carried il

Thousands Are Homeless.

The suddenness of the death that over
whelms the city has left them dumb i
their grief and suffering. Every avail
able vehicle has been pressed into sci

United States sailors and civilian vol.
unteers are digging in the debris OF
ruined portions of the city for dead and

Two thousand dead is a conservative
estimate, according to the police. When

is still more lamentabfe is the destruc- tion of lives in isolated cases here and there throughout the same districts. It is srrely more economical to undertake a short campaign with a certainty of less loss of lives than the prolonged loss of one here and another there as we have had in the past. and at the same time the constant destruction of isolated individuals who are surprised from time to time in their peaceful pursuits.
 It is not possible ttaI a few savages should constantly menace a civilized people, strong and progressive like the state of sonora has more than once demonstrated itself to be. It is not pos sible that we must declare ourselves impotent to repeIl the aggression of the few who pretend to condemn us to inactivity and intolerable miSerieS. It is also not permitted that we should stand by and look wIth indifference | upon the new victims that day by day | fall, without placing an immediate and l sure remedy for such situation. Such | indifference would be shameful.
 The government on it's part has de- | cided and hereby proclaims formally ! to begin once and for all time an ener- getic campaign, decisive if it is neces- | the peace of this state, without omit ting any sacrifice, going so far as to exterminate said Yaqui tribe if neces- 1 sary.
 | We will have to employ heroic meth i ods and if necessary these will be used
 In order that the york of the gov I ernment troops shall be more efficient
 so that the greatest number of them
 can be concentrated and operate in
 different regions of the state, it is necessary to count up the cooperation
 of the entire state. On ocner occasions
 it has been demonstrated effectively
 the personal persecution of the Yaquis;
 and precisely these organized bodies oi
 men in the Pueblos with people that
 know the land and directly interested
 in this campaign will be the most avail
 able help that the government car
 have.

ITO praise one is to praise all. Tie Red Cross worders uid remarkably well and the committee Is very grate- ful to them. The Red Cross women seemed to put their va.y iivas into the selling of the bonds, an1 every body else in every part Of the district that had anything to do with .he sale of the bonds entered into it yltE heart and soul.
 Praise Due Governor
 If special praise is to be given to anyone, that praise must necessarily go to Governor Thomas E. Campbell.
 There were times during the Cam paign when we were not just sure about some of the large subscriptions, and it was those perplexlng moments that the governor came forward wllh his personal patriotic spirit and the
 prestige of his office and gave us
 valuable assistance. The governor,
 while he does not expect this speclai
 praise, is deserving of it, and the
 whole committee joins me in thann ing him."
 MT. Tritle expressed as his per sonal opinion that the second Liberty loan would exceed the estimate made by MT. Mikel.,
 DtlltNts Sdlu HSs bhC SCNoiiN Liberty loan will reach at least s. | 500,000 We are hoping that wner |. the last subscription has been report 1 ed the total will be $S,000,000. This amount may not materialize however | But at any rate I believe that the | total will be s7,500 900.
 The second Liberty loan was diff | ferent from the first loan, in tha' 1 practically double the individual loans | were made in each vicinity. In ths | first loan the mines and other large | corporations and the banks took { ! large proportion of the allotment fol | the district. In the second loan th' | large corporations did not enter int ! the Notation as extensively as the! 1 did the first time. This, it might b' | said, was an individual Liberty loan | For instance, here in Phoenix, th' l banks did not subscribe at all to tn 1 second loan, whereas they subscribed | heavily to the first loan. The bank: | said, Go ahead and sell the bond 1 to the people, and if you need us a | the last we will do our share. Other | wise we will have that money to loal to farmers and others" This is wha the banks said, but the individua i loans were so numerous that it wa found the banks would not be need
 ed. Therefore. the farmers and oth CTS are benefited, as well as tn government through the individua loans of farmers and others"

Rossiter Mikel, representative of the Twelfth District Federal Reserve bank at San Francisco, who has been in Phoenix for the past few weeks assist ing in the campaign, to secure the all lotment of Arizona to the Second Lib erty Loan, will leave Phoenix tonight for San Francisco.
 To Mir. Mikel is due in no small measure the credit for the splendid success of the campaign just closed in which the state of Arizona made the remarkable record of securing more than the maximum amount al- lotted to this newest state
 Of all live wires, Mr Mikel is among the livest. He aided in planning the campaign, in marshalling the forces. put ginger and pepper into the organ izatlon and kept it up to the highest pitch through constant encourage ment and solicitation.

ganized bodies of men have been able to cooperate in the campaign of the Yaquis, today with the decided help of the government their success will be much more effective.
 This is what the government hopes, this is what we ask you. to cooperate with good intentions and immediately. The danger is common and general and the defense must be made by all and in all places.
 We therefore invite, formally. all the good clements of this state to unite their efforts with those of the govern ment, to place their contingents under the direction of the same government, so as to bring about a complete paci- fiCation of the state. fighting without quarter ana debility che whole Yaqui trihe. This cooperation can be count ed upon by the diffelon, Home Guards of the municipalities and hamlets. to place themselves at the disposal of the government with all the resources at their command.
 Every one who desires to enter this campaign. be it in Home Guards or regular forces or regional guards. can apply to the governor Of the state, or to the sheriffs who arv in the service of the state.
 It is to be said that the cooperation in this campaign is an entirely volun- tary one and precisely the success of this campaign depends upon the pat riotism and the immediate action of everyone interested.
 The congressman of the state of So-
 nora, understanding well the import ance of this campaign have determined to make a campaign from district to district of the different parts of the state and explain to the people the inn portance of giving immediate aid. We hope that our call will not be in vain and that the whole state will CO., l operate and lend its aid. ] GENERAL P. ELIAS GALES, ! General-in-C Chief of the Military Forces Of the State.

BRIDE OF MONTH SLAIN BY HUSBAND
 WH0 DISAPPEARS

Bride of about one month, Annie Fields. a comedy mulatto, aged about 25 years, was shot Ind killed about } o'clock last evening, by her husband- John Fields, negro car cleaner in the employ of the Santa Fe railroad. AL though no one was found by the police last night who had witnessed the shooting of the woman, she is said to have told Policeman Ed N. Barnum that the bullet wound in her neck was inflicted by her husband and that it was the second time in their short honeymoon that he had threatened to kill her.
 The shooting took place at 337 West Buchanan street the same house in which Juan Villa was shot and killed less than year ago. The woman after receiving bullet woun1 in the back and another in the left leg, ran from her home across the street to 334 West Buchanan street and fell across bed. l Mexicans living iii the house where the l injured woman took refuge, called Dr. i George M. Broadway. Upon the ar | rival of the physician, who at once saw that death was but the matter of | few minutes, the police were sum 1 nloned.
 1 It was probably nearly an hour after | I cers were notified. By that time, Fields, who had been seen in the neighborhood earlier in the evening, had disappeared The sheriffs office was also notified and the officers from both departments at once threw out net that practl- cally covered every part of the county, but up to an early hour this morning. their combined efforts had not resulted
 in the apprehension of Fields.
 Neighbors of the newly married l couple last evening said that there had been trouble brewing between the two, but there was none found who would say that had been apparent that this | trouble was of a serious nature. Mo- body was located who had seen Fields
 come to his home before the shooting. The real cause of the shooting was a i complete mystery.
 Mrs. Fields lived nearly an hour af- ter being shot Just as she was about ! to be removed to a hospital, she died
 in the house where she had taken refuge.
 1 Policeman Rarnum who was among
 the first of the officers to arrive ques-
 toned the wounded woman to ascer-
 tain the identity of her assailant.
 Who shot you?" he inquired.
 My husband" she replied.
 What is his name?"
 John Fields
 Why did he shoot you?" the office
 continued, but the woman was eithel
 too weak to answer or was disinclined So far as known, she gave no furthe information.
 , The body was removed to the under taking establishment of Moore & Me

will soon be fighting with the allied forces in the cause of humanity. For the morale of the troops, as well as the great international effect, nothing could have been more stimulating than the entry of the United States into the war;
 The general desired that the amplest facilities be given to see just what the army of the orient was doing. Reports had been spread in America, probably through German propogandists, that the Sarrail army was in a bad way and was going to withdraw. Nothing could be further from the facts.
 The army of the orient has a front of about $50 miles, running across Macedonia, Serbia and part of Alba mia. It sweeps in a great arc, about sixty miles back of Saloniki beginning on the Aegean Sea, the Gulf of Orfano on the east and running to point 3S miles west of Koritza, Albania. Here it connects with the < Italaan front. across Albania. which is separate from the army of the orient.
 Roughly speaking, this front is di- vided between the British on the right, the French in the center, and the French, Serbs, Greeks, Russians, Ital- ians and Albanians on the left. This huge front has not far from 25 divisions guarding it's whole length. It | is composite army with generals, 1 princes and pashas on the roster of | the supreme command.
 1 Besides fighting, an immense amount of construction is being done along i the whole front. with a network of | splendid roads for the quick shifting of troops, substantial bridges of steel and masonry, and vast camps of supplies and ammunition.
 Everything is being done with the evident purpose of permanency and there is no evidence of withdrawal now or later
 | General Sarrail makes frequent trips l to the front, going to Monastir, Korit- ga or some other point as an offensive IS delivered. Each CT ti-> allied armies has a staff officer near General Sar- ] rail. to keep in touch with every branch
 ,f the organization. Major Davis oi
