FEAR FOR BISHOP

Wellton Ariz., January 20.-Residents of Wellton are watching today for the return of the army ambulance which crossed the border last night to bring back Lieut.. Col. Harry G. Bishop, army aviator, who was left Thursday on the
 Sonora desert while rescue pafty brought Lieut.. w. A. Robertson, his fel- low officer on the i'll fated airplane flight, to Wellton.
 Bishops weakened condition due to ex- posture and the fact that he had gone four days without food before he was found by the rescuers after his tramp of almost 200 miles from a point on the Gulf of California, where the aviators landed, was a source of apprehension here.
 Robertson, who arrived here with a searching party from Wellton, which he found on the desert 32 miles south of here, is on the way to San Diego, Cal, from which city he and Bishop began January 10 their flight to Calexico, and were caught in a stiff north wind that
 carried them several hundred miles out of their course and on to the Sonora des- ert.
 It was Robertson's good fortune in over taking searching party that had been delayed by mechanical trouble with thelr automobile that eliminated in the rescue of both men before they perished from exposure and hunger. Bishop finally had to give up the at tempt to walk back to civilization last Wednesday and urged Robertson, the lat ter said, to go on and send back aid, if he could. Robertson found the searching party as he was almost exhausted. He directed them to the mountain pass where Bishop had lain for "A hours, almost famished for lack of food and chilled by the cold. His clothes was drenched by | the rains which continued the greater part of the nine days the two men were | lost.

Germans Short Of Shells.

Reports from the front during the
artillery duel that preceded the Thurs
day advance were that the British fired
twenty or more shells for every one
that came from the Germans. The al
lies supply of munitions is now unlim-
tied, and there is good reason to be-
lleye that the Germans are running
short of shells and guns, owing part
ly to reduced productivity caused by
the poor food of the workmen, and
partly to a shortage of certain metals.
The denial of General Schuech, the
kaiser's new minister of munitions,
that there is any such shortage, is not
convincing. Copenhagen dispatches
say the leaders Of German labor
groups were called to main army head
quarters a few days ago, not to cele-
brate Won Hindenburg's birthday, as
was intimated, but TO discuss plans for
speeding mp the production of NUM-
tons. Probably it was necessary, also,
to take steps to appease the workmen
of Essen and their wives, who held a
riotous meeting recently. demanding
peace and better food.
In Frankfort, too, an immense peace
meeting was held on Sunday. but that
was engineered by political groups,
