LOST ARMY .AVlATORS ON
ARIZONA DESERT FOUND
Machine Disabled and Men Wandered
Around for Several Days With
out Food or Water

Wellton, Ariz.-Human endurance
triumphed in a grueling battle with
the desert of Sonora when Lieut.. w.
A. Robertson, brought here Saturday
by a rescue party, overlook a party
searching for the two missing army
aviators in the desolute region and
directed them to a mountain pass,
where his fellow officer, Lieut. Col.
Harry G. Bishop, lay weak and ex-
hausted.
The aviators left San Diego Jan
uary 10.
The searchers, obeying the avia-
tors directions and following his
tracks 30 miles aalong the base of the
ella mountains, found Colonel Bish-
op lying in the sand unable to walk
further, and brought to an end a
search which army aviators, civil
ans and Mexican soldiers have been
conducting in lower California and
Sonora for the two missing men.
No Food of Water.
Robertson had been four days with
out food or water when he came upon
the searching party from Wellton,
composed of Il. l.. Gamble, w. Proeb-
estal and S. Hovatter. Almost ex-
hausted, his clothing burned from
close contact with campfire he had
made on the desert to kepe him
warm when he was not walking, Rob-
ertsOn was able to talk, and soon
had members of the searching party
following his trail back to where he
had left Colonel Bishop.
The latter was found in the sand
dunes near the Rosario mountains
and carried out to a place where a
fire was built. He was made as COM
Portable as possible after being given
something to eat while other mem
bers of the party brought Robertson
to Wellton and sent to Yuma for
assistance for Bishop.

London was shaken severely Friday
night when a chemical plant in which
munitions were manufactured was a
center of series of explosions, scat

Funston to Choose.
Secretary Baker refused to COM
ment on the order or say what rela-
ton it might have to the withdrawal
of General Pershing's expedition from
Mexico. He said that the organiza-
lions to be withdrawn would be an
nounced as soon as General Funston
reported those he had designated.
This withdrawal will reduce the force
of state troops on the border to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 men.

accepted, however, as an indication
that the withdrawal of Pershing's
force would not be long delayed. 1t
has been understood that as quickly
as border stations are evacuated by
state troops regulars will move up
to occupy them, but it was said au-
thoritatively that no order to bring
the regulars north had yet been is
sued.
1t is the policy of the department
not to permit disintegration of the
national guard organizations and the
intention is to hold every man in ser
vice, though not under arms, regard
less of the fact that his duty on the
border has ended All applications
for discharges except for cause will
be refused, and designations of Off
GERS will be carefully examined and
accepted only when the department is
satisfied with the reasons given. 1t
was pointed out that acceptance of
many of the designations already Of
fered was more or less in the nature
of wedding out process.

taken as further indication of what
will be the administrations future
policy in dealing with Mexico. This
policy it has been indicated, contem-
plates dealing with the de facto gov
eminent on a strictly formal basis
rather than on an altruistic one. Thus
it is understood that the activities
of Villa and the question of who oc-
cupies the territory Pershing is about
to leave will be regarded here as
problems for Carranza and the United
States will look to him for their So
luton.
Army officers here do not believe
it probable that withdrawal of Gen
eral Pershing's force can be accom-
plished in much less than three weeks
after the order is issued.
