 1 At Esperanza and vicinity there are l.5o0; in the section between Suaqui and La Colorado. about the same num- Der, and in the vicinity of La Misa be- tween 500 and 1000, Colonel Comou said
 Tn other words, four lines have been thrown around the Yaqui valley to hold the Indians" said the Mexican of ficer. Tt is quite difficult to do this, 1 though, as the Indians may be re- porte dat one place. where you
 ported to be at one place, and when you go there you will find they have scat tered like bunch of quail and made their way to another rendezvous, ten or twelve miles distant"
 What the federal troops have tried to do is to afford escorts to travellers. In order todo this, peop:e travelling over the roads in southern Sonora have been requested to go in trains of several
 
 sent with each train. In a number of instances, persons have disregarded our warnings and attempted to go through by themselves and have been attacked by Indians and killed. I remember one instance of this kind few months ago, where l personally warned an automo- bile load of travellers that Yaquis had bee nseen In the vicinity and told them to wait until night, and in the meantime I and my men would go ahead and take care of any Indians. They promised to comply, but instead of doing so, went ahead. Within an hour after talked with them five of the party of six were killed on the road
 Lieutenant Colonel Comou has his headquarters at La Misa, which also is headquarters for General Juan Torres, commander of the federal forces in So- nora.

[RepubIIcan 4. ?. Leased Wlrel

PARIS, June 4.-This has been an anxious day throughout peace circles, and every effort is being made toward early and united action.
 The council turned to the German coutner proposals and called in experts.
 Many private conferences were also going on, including one between Colonel House of the American delegation and A. J. Balfour, British foreign secretary. all seeking to clarify the situation and determine the course of action.
 The prevailing view of those taking part was hopeful of early and satis- factory results. They admitted the ronditions were difficult and the diff ferences were rather sharply drawn. but insisted there was nothing like an i'm passe or anything threatening an agree ment.
 Indications were that certain general results are already beginning to take form The German counter proposals as a whole undoubtedly will be re- jected. but a number of suggestions may be embodied in the allied treaty not with any purpose of modifying or softening the document, but for the purpose of making it workable and achieving the supreme end of getting if signed and restoring peace.

 Arizona Girl, Is
 Won By Sailor

Though he could not be called a laegard in love, as will herein atfer be shown, young man em- ployed on a cotton ranch west of the city was not quite swift enough. Readers of The Republican may have noticed in the list of mar riage licenses published yesterday the names of Ara H. Parsons, 26, Phoenix, and May Griffin, 21, Phoe- nix" Also, "lra s. Birdsons, 21, Dallas. Texas, and Mamie E. Grif- fen, 20, Glendale"
 Back of this is story some what out of the usual. May Grif- fin" and Mamie E. Griffenr are one and the same. She resides with her parents on one of the Eugene Pierson ranches, where Parsons is also employed. She was enaaqed to be married to Parsons and at the same time she had been in correspondence with Birdsong, a sailor whom she had met on a train. Presumably she was en- gagged to him.
 A few days ago while on leave from his ship, Birdsons called aS the ranch, and then ensued a tri- angular courtship. On Sunday night Parsons awakened to the need of expedition. He arrived in town early on Monday morning and presented himself at the courthouse awaiting the arrival of the license clerk. On his appearance Parsons made application for the license, and received it.
 If he had gone directly back to the ranch things would have turned out differently. But he regarded the possession of the license as a cinch and fingered about town for a couple of hours. An hour after he had procured his license Bird . song came. He also wanted li- oense. The license clerk may have been struck by the co-incideuce of the Christian names of the two applicants, but he could not have had suspicious awakened by the name, as given by the two appii- cants, was different, the last name was slightly differently spelled. She appeared in one application to be resident of Phoenix, and in the other to be an inhsbitant of Glen dale. And then, too, there was a variation of a year in her age. Rirdsong wasted no time. He hurried back to the ranch and by the time Parsons returned there was no such person there as May Griffin. She had become Mrs Mamie E. Birdsong. Parsons ae- knowledged his defeat and took i. good naturedly.

ID PROBE VAR DEPT.
 FROM FIVE ANGLES

WASHINGTON, June A. Unani- nous consent was given by the house to a resolution increasing the war ex- penditures to fifteen millions, so that five separate investigations of disposi- tion of funds by the war department may be made. The vote came after two hours debate and after the repub- Gcans had refused to permit the demo- crats to offer an amendment to the resolution under which the committee membership would have been divided, nine republicans and six democrats, in stead of ten republicans and five dem ocrats. The republican leaders ex- plained that inquiries were planned in- to expenditures for aviation, ordnance, camps and cantonment quartermaster supplies and in foreign countries. Each inquiry will be conducted by usb- committee, composed of two republi- cans and one democrat.
 Tbe resolution came before the house today from the rules committee as special order of business. During the debate the democrats charged that the investigations were to be made by the republicans, "in search of political capital for the 1920 campaign" and de- clared they were welcomed by the ad - ministration. Republican spokesnen, however. said the Investigations were to be aon-partisan and were designed solely to inform the country what had become of the sixteen billions Of dol lars appropriated for the war depart ment during the war.
