Direct Diplomatic Relations
With Mexico to Resume.
u. s. Authorities Convinced OF
Feasibility of Plan.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Direct diplo-
matte relations between the United
States and Mexico will be resumed al
most Immediately. 1t became known
in Washington that the early dispatch
of Ambassador Henry p. Fletcher TO
his post at Mexico City and the accept
ance of the credentials of a successor
to Eiiseo Arredondo, former ambassa-
dor designate, have been determined
upon. The Mexican statesman most
pointedly mentioned for the Washing
ton post is Ignacio Bonillas, second
member of the Mexican section or the
join commission.
The resumption of direct dealings
with Mexico is expected to result in
the early disruption of the joint COM
mission, according to the American
members of that commission. The
administration authorities. it was
| stated, have become convinced that di-
rect dealings thru an ambassador at
Mexico City and a Mexican of the type
of Bonillas at Washington will be pref
cradle to indirect action thru COM
mission whose agreements require the
| approval of Carranza before they can
| become effective.
| Carranza is not anxious for the
American troops of the expeditionary
. force to be withdrawn from Mexico.
| His refusal to sign the protocol had
| this end in view. He is fully aware
that the border trouble is less likely
to become acute with an American
force stretching from the international
boundary line well into Mexico, ready
| to operate in either direction against
marauding attachments of bandits,
than with the entire American force

WHAT'S REPLY OF S. A.?
Difference of Opinion of Nations May
Prevent Endorsement of Note.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 5.-Intimations
from London that Argentine and Bra
zil have refused to endorse President
wilson's peace note to European bel
ligerents, was denied today on the
highest authority.
DISPATCHES from Brazil asserted
that the expressions of disapproval of
the peace note reported from Secre-
tary of State Barbosas were purely
personal and did not seek to typify
the Brazilian governments attitude.
Officially it was admitted here to-
day that lack of joint action by South
American governments will probably
prevent a formal endorsement of the
American note unless further develop
ments facilitate such a step.

BODY OF WOMAN Is
 FOUND IN WALL OF STORE AT DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 15.-The body of an unidentified woman was discovered under the floor of the porch of a business house near the center of Douglas today. It was dis covered by Mexican workmen who had gone to the shade of the porch to eat their lunch and were sickened by the odor.
 n the presence of a large crowd, Coroner D. T. Dunlap directed the work of tearing away a wall of loose rock apparently built around the body to screen it from observation. She had been checked to death and placed under the porch, local officers believe, while physicians place the time of her death about three or four weeks ago. The officers are at loss to identify the body as no one had been reported missing. An umbrella, shoes, clothing, and a gold ear ring worn by the woman may serve to identify her. She was five feet, two inches in height, had dark hair, streaked with grey, and apparently weighed between 120 and 130 pounds.

Greedy H. Clack of Mohave county and Nellie E. Lindsay of California were united in marriage at Yucca by Justice Fred Leonard last Tuesday. Miss Lindsay is an amiable young wo- man and the groom IS one of the older residents of Mohave county, well known to everyone.
 The newly-weds are spending a short vacation in the Wallapais and will make their home in Kingman.
 Although Greeley has labored hard to avoid being meted out some of the same punishment that he has helped to administer to many of his friends in the past, it is quite likely that the boys will find him on his return and see that he gets what is coming to him.

MINE OPENS
 UP RICH ORE BODY

In the adit drift on the Detroit mine, in Bobtail Basin, about fourteen miles north of Kingman, J. J. Connolly has opened a great body of copper ore. The drift has been driven some distance in the ore body, which is stat ed to be six feet wide. This ore is con- sidered quite rich by the owner, who finds it to be the same as that en- countered in another part of the mine, Mir. Connolly has been at work on this property since the first of the year on his own account. Prior to that time the property was under bond to a man whose death caused vacation of the option.
 I. NJ. George is also an owner with Mir. Connolly in the property, and the gentlemen have been keeping work of development under way the past two years. The vein is one of the largest in that section and is we'll mineralized on the surface.

ARIZONA MAN NOW
 WITH BRITISH ARMY
 WOULD BE WITH J. 5.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June IA. (Spe- ciaD.-Of interest to J. D. Baker, once first lieutenant in a Tucson company of the Arizona National Guard, and now an officer in the Canadian Light Artillery, is the newest phase of the great war.
 After the additional national guard service in the California coast artil- lery, Baker enlisted in the Ninth bat tery of Canadian field artillery. He left Quebec November 19, 1914, for the front. In August, 1916, he was back, one of only nineteen men left of the 164 men who had gone. Even they were not whole. Baker was "jammed up a trifle," according to his own modest tale that has been coming in occasional letters to his old regimental commander in Phoenix.
 His first experience against the Ger mans gave him a crushed hip and five broken ribs. But, nothing daunted, he was back again within a few months, assigned at St. Catherines, Ontario, to the Seventy-frst battery and dis patched to training camp in Eng land, in historic Surrey. Now he is back in England, in a convalescent camp in Kent, repairing more broken bones that came in only fortnight's experience against the Germans. Ba- ker is eager to return to the United States, with hundreds of other Amer jeans in the English service, that what he has learned of modern warfare may be of use to his own land when it's soldiers go against the common foe.
 In his last letter Baker writes: ''Thank God, Old Glory is to be given an opportunity to vindicate herself, for civilization, for humanity and for God. These are happy days for me. I can carry my head erect, look any man in the eye and tell him I am an American"
 In an earlier letter he stated: No doubt you have wondered why I en- listed in the service of Great Britain. The first reason is, I am Anglo-SaxOn and could not stand idly by and wit ness the horrors that have been com mitted without lifting a hand. But my second reason is that wanted to gain knowledge of modern military tactics in active service, that might be more useful to my own country in the future" Something of prophecy is a paragraph that tells: q have all the respect in the world for the Ger man soldier, but the officers are the brutes-stop at nothing. They are gO- ing to get what is due them, for the allies will hammer their way, foot by foot, till they do get them. If you had seen what I have, know you would have organized battalion of Ari- zonians and gone to the bat for hu- manity."

SOCIETY NEWS

One of the prettiest home weddings which has occurred in Kingman was the one that took place at the home of Mrs. Ellen Burns in the Terrace apartments at high noon on June twelfth, when her daughter, Miss Eva Marie Burns, was united in marriage to Mir. John Townsend Hoyt, of Ajo, Arizona. The bride, who for the past two years has been one of Kingman's most popular girls, having been en- ployed on the local telephone ex- change, was a beautiful bride. Her gown was of white chiffon taffeta trimmed with old lace. She wore a veil which was fastened around her head with a wreath of orange blos- sons and carried shower boquet of lilies of the valley and white roses. The groom was dressed in the con- ventional black.
 The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Thomas H. Dodd, pastor of the local M. E. church, and only members of the brides family and few in- innate friends were present. After the ceremony refreshments were serv- ed and the happy couple departed on the afternoon train for coast points where they will spend several weeks, after which they will make their home in Phoenix.
 The groom needs no introduction to Kingrnan as he was for some time a resident of this city, having left here about a year ago to act as manager for the Halsted Lumber company at their Ajo branch, and has now been transferred to the Phoenix office. The young couple have the good wishes of their host of friends in Kingman and vicinity for a long and happy life.
 The bride was the recipients of many social honors following the an- nouncement of her engagement about two months ago and received many handsome gifts both from her friends here and her old home in Illinois.

WIRES CROSSED, FANS
 LEAVE GRANDSTAND

Baseball fans at the San Bernardino- Kingman game Sunday afternoon de- monstrated the speed with which a grandstand can be emptied when the occasion demands. Two powerful cleo tric wires became crossed just back of the grandstand, and when someone yelled for the fans to leave the grand stand there was an immediate rush. In a very few seconds everyone was upon the diamond.
 Very little damage was done to the electric light plant, except the burn ing out of few switches. There were several loud explosions or reports of bursting fuses. The two wires be- came closed during the high wind Sunday afternoon. One of the wires was burned in two. The crowd soon refilled the grandstand.

 "Can't be helped" he said. "I don't mind going myself but here's this ranch all ready to go ahead. Now I'll have to turn it over to my father and I am stuck for the rest of the war I suppose. Anyway, I am going to put in for the Arizona, one of the biggest and finest in the service. I'd rather be in the navy than anywhere else. It takes a lot to sink one of those boats these days"
