PERSHING CLUBS
Leading Citizens and E.x-Serv-
ice Men Join by Hundreds
Texas Also in Line.

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. ll.-(Special.) }
-Well-known business and profess
sional men of Douglas have been
joined by hundreds of others, in
cluding more than 50 ex-solders, in
the organization of Pershing-for-
president club. George f. Buxton,
head of the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce, has been elected presi-
dent of the club, which, in co-opera-
ton with similar clubs at Naco, Bis
bee, Nogales and other towns
throughout the state, is going to
work to send Pershing delegation
to the national republican conven-
ton at Chicago.
Both democrats and republicans
are enrolled in the Douglas Per-
shing- for-President club" said Mr..
Buxton. "a large number of ex-
service men were instrumental in
getting the club organized and on
its feet. Other ex-service men have
since subscribed to the clubs pledge.
The sentiment for Pershing is
strong here, as it is elsewhere in
Arizona, and we are going to do eff
fective work in the campaign to
make General Pershing the republi-
can presidential nominee.
Il am interested in only one thing
in this matter" Mr.. Buxton con-
tinued, and that is to see General
Pershing nominated.
The way democrats are hocking
to the Pershing standard throughout
this section of the west, including
both Texas and Arizona, should not
escape the attention of party lead
ers. Democrats as we'll as republi-
cans stand ready to flock to his
standard of Americanism."

AT BATTLE OF JUTLAND.

London, Feb. Ill came, saw,

Thus Admiral Lord Jellicoe's con-
duct in the great sea battle off Jut-
land is stigmatized by Commander
Carly Bellairs, member of parlia-
ment, in a remarkable book, The
Battle of Jutland," just published,
Britain, the author charges. has
never told the world the truth about
the famous battle.
"The fight" he writes. is one OF
the wars greatest mysteries. he
admiralty's dispatch was a fairy
tale. The first hint of the truth was
given by Beatty. who, subordinate,
became an earl and got 100000,
while Jellicoe remains a viscount
and gets s50,000
"The failure to destroy Won
Scheer's weak fleet when it was in
desperate condition was due to
neither lack of information nor to
anv other cause, such as low visi-
bility' or mist, but it was deliberate
step taken by Jellicoe, whose one
controlling thought was the preser-
walton of his own ships.

Testimony at Probe Shows.
DISCOVER TWO BODIES
AMONG MEXICAN DEAD
Also Learned That Those Who
Fought Yanks Were Not
Civilians But Soldiers,
Though Attired as Former.

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 11.-At least
two Germans were fighting in the
Mexican army on August 81, 1918,
at Nogales, according to testimony
of Captain Frederick T. Herman, of
the Eighth cavalry, before the sem
ate subcommittee investigating the
Mexican situation today.
He said their bodies were found
among the Mexican killed. Captain
Herman, a lieutenant colonel COM
manding at Nogales at the time of
the fight, denied the official state
ment of the Mexican commander
that the Mexican force was COM
posed of civilians.
The investigation of the action
and the incidents preceding it. he
told the committee, indicated clear
ly the greater part of the Mexicans
engaged were soldiers, although
most of them had dressed in civilian
clothes, and that the fighting had
been planned and was directed by
their commanding officer, and his
associates. The American casu-
alties were five killed and 81
wounded
Mexicans Buried.
Three civilians also we're killed
and five wounded. The Mexican
losses never were learned but
United States Army intelligence re-
ports were submitted to show the
Mexicans buried after the fight at
least lis.
Much of the testimony taken to-
day was in executive session. 1t had
to do with the forced evacuation
of the Mormon colonies in Chihua-
hua. The committee also learned
the details of the efforts made by
the American military authorities to
have brought to trial Licutenants
Juan Azpeitia for the murder of
David Troib, December %, 1918,
an American soldier. He was
killed on the Mexican side of the
river near El Paso. The return of
his body to the American side, where
the autopsy was held, was made the
basis of a protest by the Mexican
authorities against any action by
them. Negotiations resulted in
three examinations of the body, one
