CHIHUAHUA CITY, May 1S.-Offi- cial confirmation has been received here of the report that while in the Namiqupa district, Villa kidnapped hundred and ten girls between the ages of ten and twenty and kept them in his camp while there. Twenty of the girls are said to have died in two days as the result of the brutalities of the men.
 A group of 414 of Villas followers disgusted at the outrages that have turned away the sympathies of the civilian population, and discouraged by general conditions surrendered yester- day under an agreement of amnesty, which was negogiated through their leader, Colonel Cisneros. The men were in a ragged and filthy state, their fight ing spirit broken and their horses stacks of bones and unfit for service, due to the long drought. They said the various bands of rebels were acting in dependently without any coordination.
 General Murguia. directinr the "ar' : paign against Villa, has placed strong garrisons in the towns of Santa Ysabel, San Andres, Cusihuiriachic, Guerrero and Namiquipa, and he keeps other columns moving so that the rebels get no rest

POSSIBLE SITES

 USES CONSIDERED

Committees of the chamber of com merce were busy all day yesterday gathering the data requested by the war department with relation to the fla cilities and advantages of the Salt Riv- CT Valley section as a location for one of the proposed army cantonments for S0,O00 soldiers. Possible camp sites all over the valley were investigated and when the army delegation. headed by Brigadier General Green, comes to Phoenix on Monday the information asked for will be submitted so that the board may know what this valley has to offer the government in line with it's duty as a patriotic section of the United States
 At meeting of the members of the committee who had been working all day yesterday in securing information for the government board, held at o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Ar izona club, which was attended by a large number of prominent citizens, the question was specifically and generally discussed. The several sub committees gave somewhat detailed reports as to the information they had secured and this information will be placed in con- crete form and submitted to the board members when they come here next week.
 There are several available sites in the valley, as residents are aware, and the whole matter was carefully gone into so that the government may have the most authoritative information which it is possible to give, in answer to the specific questions asked by the telegrams which was reproduced in The Arizona Republican yesterday morning.
 H. l.. Aller, chairman of the general committee, presided and there were half a dozen reports covering as many phases of the investigation. There was also a general discussion of the advan- tages and disadvantages of sites in this section of the state, the entire idea be- ing to present to the official board fair and impartial reports as complete and accurate as can be secured in the time at the disposal of the committees.
 The visitors are expected here on Monday morning and will be in the valley but a few hours. The facts will ] be presented them in written form and those upon the committee will stand
 ready to answer such questions as may 1 be asked

NRS. STREETS ADMIT TED IN
 COAST COURT
( (SpeciaI to The Republican)

LOS ANGELES, May 1S.-1lnuSual features marked the trial of the con- test to break the will Of Mrs. Mary r Street in the probate court today. In admitting the will. Judge Rives said he had no doubt her daughter, Mrs Julia Street Upton influenced her mother in having the will changed. but whether it was undue influence was a question. He held that Mrs Street was of sound mind and did what she wanted to do, which was to give her only daughter her estate.
 He had no doubt the change in the will which gave Mrs Upton the Phoenix property absolutely was due to her ilsfluence; that she left he4' mother in d huff and did not return until the change had been made. He was also convinVd that the change was actuated by 'motherly feeling to safeguard Ter only daughter
 The evidence showed that MT Up ton had lost most of his property. It was also in evidence that Mrs Upton often quarreled with her mother. Both were high strung women. Mrs. Up ton admitted they had words over her conduct; that she felt she was old enough to be accountable to no one. She admitted she left her moth : CT when she found the Phoenx prop erty was to be tied up for her during lte, and that she came back after the will was changed giving her the property absolutely, but she denied she had ever threatened her mother Judge Rives held the evidence showed that Mrs. Upton had left her family in England to be with her mother which was no slight sacrifice.
 Mrs. Street executed three wills, in each of which she gave her property to her daughter, with a small bequest to her grandchildren, Webster and Deborah Street The latter attacked the latest will offered for probate or the ground that Mrs. Upton had un- duly influenced her mother; that or Mrs Streets death bed the daughter threatened her. The evidence of Dr
 llna ms and Former Judge Davis was that Mrs. Street had a vigorous mind. that she was hign strung ano courageous and could not be influ- cnced or intimidated. An appeal vii be taken.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Colonel Roosevelt will not be permitted to raise his volunteer expedition to carry the American flag against the Germans i'll France.
 On sgnning the war army bill to- night, President Wilson issued a state ment saying that acting under expert advice from both sides of the water, he would be unable to avail himself at the present stage Of the war of the author ization to organize volunteer divisions.
 There was talk in army circles to- night of the probability that way would be found to use the former pres ident's service in another way, but of- ficial comment on the subject was lack ing. The presidents statement follows:
 Fine Vieor and Enthusiasm
 ''I shall not avail myself, at any rate at the present stage of the war, of the authorization conferred by the act to organize volunteer divisions. To do so
 would seriously interfere with the car
 rying out of the chief and most imme- dlately important purpose contemplat-
 ed by this legislation, the prompt crea-
 ton and early use of an effective army
 and would contribute practically noth- Ing to the effective strength of the ar mics now engaged against Germany. ulltltl SldiIu llidl lile section or lDlS act which authorizes the creation of volunteer divisions in addition to the draft was added with a view to provid- Ing and independent command for Mr Roosevelt and giving the military au- thorlty an opportunity to use his fine Nlgor and enthusiasm iii recruiting the forces now at the western front. It would be very agreeable to me to pay MT. Roosevelt this compliment and the allies the compliment of sending to their aid one of our most distinguished puDllc men, an eX-president who has endered many conspicuous public serv- l ices and proved his gallantry in many striking ways. Politically too. it would no doubt have a very fine effect and
 make profound impression But this i Is not the time or the occasion for com plimeat or for any action not calculat- | ed to contribute to the immediate sue cess of the war. The business in hand | now is undramatic, practical and of scientific definteness and precision. I l shall act with regard to it at every step and in every particular under ex- | pert and professional advice, from both 1 sides of the water.
 Because Of Their Age
 That advice is that the men most needed are men of the ages contem- 1 PA'i'Ou III tHe ulsilt pToNlSlon or the present bill, not men of the age and | sort contemplated in the section which authorized the formation of. volunteer | units, and that for the preliminary training of the men who are to be | drafted we shall need all of our eXperi enced officers Mr Roosevelt told me | when I had the pleasure of seeing him

AUSTRALIA.

That is startling news from Aus tralia: the land where conscription failed. Yet withal, the credit for this rests with those indomitable mep who fought the fight last Easter in Ireland, and fired the shots that now re-echo in the antipodes.. The cheerful idiocy that supposes that one militarism or one despotism is better than another is responsible for the condition of things that find Australia now in practical revolt. The colonies were called to force the fighting while tke "7annelled fools at the wicket and the mudied oafs at the goal" enjoyed themselves eA- cept when the Zeppelins appeared o'nights.
 The fact that there are men, labor ing men, who know that they have nothing to lose but their chains in this dread time of red war is some how or another full of hope for the future.
 Hughes who is Premier after a visit to Great Britain came to the conclusion that Australia should sacrifice some more some more when in proportion to the popula- tion Australia had given as far as 1.e1 r 1r classes is concerned, ill the propor- tion of three to one.
 No wonder that Australia con- cludes that if men must die to pro- tcct English tradesmen and land monopolists, there is no earthly req son why they shouldn't be English The logic seems, when you size ii up, to be somehow without flaw.
