While the fires of revolution Hare
more or less spasmodically IN num-
ber of central and southern states OF
Mexico, Sonora, an old hot bed OF re-
volt, remains remarkably calm.
Two reasons are given for the un-
wonted peace of Sonora. One is the
iron grip kept on the state by General
Pablo E. Macias, military command
ant; the other is the fact that the
Yaqui Indians, keystone of many So-
nora revolt, are apparently not on the
warpath this time.
