MARICOPA COUNTY MUST HAVE S13,000
 ID GET OVER TOP

Maricopa county is almost s13,000 short of it's quota of s30. 900, according 70 information given out last night at state headquarters of the united drive for relief in the near east. There are a few districts that have not reported. but even with their reports it is not believed that much headway will be made toward wiping out the deficiency.
 Individual effort is all that will save the county from humiliation de- clared Sidney J. Ross. county chair man. We are short of workers; the money is here and we know it. but we cannot get volunteer workers to go out and get it.
 We hope that every man. woman and child in Maricopa county will con slider themselves a committee of one and, first. sec if it is not possible to add Co their own donaiion, if they have already subscribed. then solicit their nolghbors and every one they meet The situation is worthy of any action taken Co raise our quota of $50. 000. Get liberty bonds, liberty bond coupons. war saving stamps, thrift stamps: do not wait for a solicitor. but remember that you are saving life by your ef- forts. Bring your donations to Room War Work building also let us know of any ono whom you think would be willing to give"

A priest appeared in the office of the clerk of the court yesterday. and returned the license issued on Janu- ary Is to Leon Morales, 26, and Cista Alonza, 25, both of Cashion. The girl, he said, was dead.
 When the license was granted the pretty de-elect was ill and day by day, young Morales waited her i'm provement that the marriage might take place. Too weak to even respond to the words of the priest, it was necessary for Cista to postpone her wedding day.

BIZ Associated Press.

Washington, May S0.-Villa forces
have proclaimed General Felipe An
geles provisional president of Mex
leo and Villa himself. secretary of
war.
The move coming at the climax
of military operations considered by
the Carranza government so serious
that it has asked the United States
for permission to move troops
through Texas, New Mexico and Ari-
Zona is regarded here as rejecting
a situation more serious in Mexico
than any since the triumph of Car
rama forces over Villa three years
ago. Viewed in connection with the
activities of the Felicista forces in
Southern Mexico the situation is re-
garded as full of possibilities.
Angeles reported first proclama-
ton announcing that Americans in
Mexico would be protected is par
ticularly interesting to officials here,
coming as it does, on the heels of
the refusal of the State Department
to grant CarranZa's request that he
be allowed to move troops through
American territory for the purpose

TINOCO READY
TO LEAD FORCE
ON NICARAGUANS
Returns to His Command and
Awaits Word of War
Declared
By Associated Press.

Washington, May 80. - General
Joaquin Tinoco, brother of the pros
ident of Costa Rica and minister OF
war in the Costa Rician cabinet, has
returned to his command of 5000
men in the province of Guanacaste
on the Nicaraguan frontier and is
awaiting to cross the boundary OH
word from San Jose that Congress
has declared war on the neighbor-
ing state, advices received through
official channels by the Nicaraguan
state, advices received through Of
fetal channels by the Nicaraguan
legation to-day said. General Tinoco
left his command last week and
went to the capital where he urged
upon his brother, the president and
upon Congress personally the de-
STABILITY of declaring war on Mica
ragua at once.
Washington officials have learned
from confidential sources that Tin
oco has enlisted the support of
President CarranZa in warning upon
Nicaragua and that Carranza sent
five general officers of the Mexican
army besides General Manuel Chao
to Costa Rica to aid Tinoco.
Nicaragua has an army of only
500 men, according to official in
formation, not sufficient to patrol
the border effectually much less, en-
gage an invading foe. Nicaragua has
stated, it is said. that she relies upon
the United States to protect her
from her external foes.

PRESIDENT CALLS
CREW OF THE NC-4
TO PARIS CONFAB
Desires 1t to Attend Aviation
Conference At French
Capital

Plymouth, May so. - President
Wilson has summoned the crew of
the NC-4 to proceed as speedily as
possible from Plymouth to Paris, it
is announced here. He desires them
to attend the aviation conference
in Paris.
The crews of the NC-3 and will
also proceed to Paris after a visit to
London, where they will be given an
official reception and will be pre-
sented to the King.
1t is presumed here that the crews
of the American seaplane have been
called to Paris to give experts the
benefit of the knowledge gained
from their fight.
The program of entertainment
which has been planned here in
honor of the crew of the NC-4 when
they arrive from Lisbon will en-
brace the meeting of the incoming
seaplane by British seaplanes, a sa-
lutte with Very lights and an escort
to the landing place near the U.
S. S. Rochester and Arogostook,
which the American fiiers will board
Immediately.
The civic welcome will be left
until the following morning. Then
the Americans will be taken to the
Mayflower landing, where, in the
presence of a British naval, military
and air force contingent, a formal
reception will be accorded by the
Mayor and the municipal authori-
ties. This will be followed by a
luncheon rendered by the Royal Air
Force.

AUSTRIANS WILL
NOT GET TERMS
BEFORE MONDAY
Smaller Powers Ask For More
Time Before Giving AS
sent to Treaty

Paris, May 80. - The Austrian
treaty, which was to have been pre-
serted to the Austrans to-day, has
been withheld until Monday. The
smaller powers of Eastern Europe
asked for more time before giving
their assent to the treaty. This was
accorded by common consent, and
the plenary session for agreeing to
the treaty went over to Saturday,
while the presentation of the docu-
ment to the Austrians was postponed
until Monday.
The change in the plans came un-
expectedly yesterday afternoon as
the allied powers gathered in secret
session at the foreign Office, for the
purpose of passing on the terms.
The parts of the treaty already
completed, emitting the military
terms, reparations and sections of
the frontier settlement, were dis
tributed to the delegation in printed
form, and M. Tardieu was about to
supplement these with a general
summary of the document. The ex-
pectations was that this would be
followed by q vote of approval, per-
mitting the instrument to be deliver
ed Friday.
More Time Needed
At the outset, however, Premier
Bratiano, of Rumania, secured rec
ognition. He said in behalf of Po-
land, Serbia, Rumania and various
countries whose interests were Wit
ally affected by the treaty, that they
wanted forty eight hours more time
for the examination of the docu-
ment. NJ. Bratiano spoke in entire
good feeling, with no suggestion of
a protest, emphasizing the fact that
the only desire of the smaller pow
ers was to have sufficient time to
understand the terms so seriously
affecting them, before committing
themselves finally to acceptance. He
made no motion beyond the request
for forty eight hours.
NJ. Clemenceau asked if any dis
cussion was desired. No objectior-
being made, M. Clemenceau, with hi
usual finality, said that the reques
seemed fair, and, since there was n,
objection, he would announce tina
an additional forty eight hours woult
be granted. Thus the plenary ses
sion would go over until Saturday
and the document would be deliver
ed two days later.
No Objection
This prevailed without objection
and the session came to a suddel
end within half an hour after it
opening.
The postponement was withou
pre-arrangement and took the dele
gates by surprise, though the feelin
was general that the smaller power
were fully justified in asking TO
\ more time.
President Wilson and the mem
bers of the American delegation pro
ceeded Immediately to American
headquarters, where they held
session for an hour, discussing
number of details of the various re
naming treaties. The President ais
conferred with the experts who ar
handling the question of German
merchant ships, presumably con
cerning the retention of ships il
American ports.
