into a wing Of the big plane.

|. MOVE into SONORA
More Than 5000 Rebels Are
at Masiaca and San An
tonio--UrbaIeio Quits.


MEXICO CITY, April 22.-Ten thou
sand federal soldiers under Gen. Plu-
tarco Elias Gales forged northward to-
day across the southern boundary OF
Sonora for what may be the last big
battle of the revolution.
Al Masiaca and San Antonio, Sonora
so miles north Of the federals' starting
point, a rebel army of between 5000
ana 1000 men was entrenched, APP
pa-ently intending to contest the fed
eral advance.
The positions at Masiaca and San
Antonio represented a rebel advance
toward the federals of Is miles from
their former stronghold of Nayojoa, and
was believed to indicate their desire to
oppose definitely the federal armies
which almost without a clash forced
them out of the state Of Sinaloa.
Gunboat Bars Retreat.
- In one sense the fight has been
thrust upon the rebels, a gunboat, the
Progreso, stationed in the harbor at
Guaymas, having taken position COM
manding the railroad there and ef-
ectively cutting off their retreat. The
gunboat Bravo put in at Mazatlan yes
terday and was starting north to rein
force the Progreso at Guaymas TN
mediately. Gen. Almazan's army, clos
ing in from the north, further heighten-
ed hazards Of retreat.
Just how soon the action would be-
gin was q matter Of speculation here
The railroad lines from San Bias were
repaired as far as Don and the main
federal army was being transported by
train that distance It was expected to
disembark from trains there and move
afoot toward the two rebel forttf1ca-
tons.
San Bias Camp Bombed.
Federal airplanes continued to bomb
the rebel positions, reporting some dam
age. Rebel airplanes exploded two
bombs in the federal camp at San Bias
prior to the army'S departure. Little
damage was done.
Gen. Jaime Garlic, who successfully
defended Mazatlan against major
rebel attack last month and now head
of one of the divisions in Sonora. per-
sonally commanded an aerial raid over
the rebel camp at Navajo, Sonora, Sat-
urday, according to q telegram received
here.
In the telegram, sent to one Of the
staff officers, Col. Otoniel Rodriguez
who now is on mission to Mexico City
Gen. Garlic said he went as a passen-
ger In the leading plane and directed
operations. After several bombs had
been dropped on the rebel stronghold
the planes returned to their base al
San Bias. Gen. Garlic did not estimate
the damage in his telegram.

This was y gentle, courteous. unmis-

been trying to get Mrs. Walter F.
Brown, wife of the Postmaster General,
to tell something of her interests in

It was difficult. The smartly dressed,

Asked if she had any particular in

my interests are in Mr.. Brown and his
work. We have always worked together.
That is, he does the big things OF life
and I trail along. He has so many big

Averse to Publicity.
The wife Of the Postmaster General

Mrs. Brown said. II do not see why 1t

In the Browns country home outside
of Toledo, Ohio, there remain numerous
pets dear to the hearts Of their owners.
Among them are several fine dogs.
Asked If she would bring any of them
to Washington Mrs. Brown replied:
Indeed, mol We would never bring
dogs to a city. do not believe in
keeping dogs in the narrow confines
Of a city apartment or house. 1t

MISSISSIPPI LEvEE BREAKS.
zoo Homes Are Flooded at Canton, Mo-,
by Swollen River.

CANTON, Mo-, April % Pl.-The
Mississippi was on a tear again today,
throwing its strength, intensified by
waters from swollen tributaries, against
the levees here and on the Illinois side
of the river. The Canton levee
crumbled yesterday. flooding more than
200 homes.
The Canton break followed a similar
one in the Fabius River levee which
flooded 1000 acres Of farm land. The
Fabius is Mississippi tributary, and the
break occurred near the point where It
empties into the larger stream. A por-
ton of the Mississippi levee was dyna-
mited last night so that the Fabius
overflow could escape. 1t was expected
that this would equalize the pressure
and save other levees in the flood dis
trict.
Drainage bitches in the South Quincy
garden district, on the Illinois side OF
the Mississippi, are oyer their banks:
with the streets Of the village Cf
Marblehead under water. The Lima
Lake drainage district is confronted
with q similar menace.
The North Fabius district, on the
Missouri side, Is watching the turbulent
Fabius, and hundreds of sandbagS have
been piled atop the levee to prevent a
break that might food Is 600 acres, IN
Guiding the village Of Taylor.

PHI. D. IS AWARDED
WOMAN FOR ART
Degree Is First of Its KIND
Given for Studies in
This Country.
BY the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25-Mrs
Berthe Couch Koch OF Columbus has
daubcd a doctors degree on q new
sheepskin.
She was made a doctor of philoso-
ply in landscape painting by Ohio
State University this Spring-the first
degree of its kind in this country and
a field hitherto untouched by candi-
dates for advanced scholastic honors
So unusual was her project that il
was necessary to depart from the GUS
tomary doctorate procedure. In place
of the usual literary form. her thesis
was formed by a series of Landscape
paintings, original in conception and
execution, supplemented by a brief
written outline.
Her purpose was to determine the
nature of the concept underlying Gre
alive landscape painting, the method
by which the concepts are formed and
the relative importance to the painter
of those he embodies in his paintings
in general and in specific canvases.
The work combined psychology and
fine art AS background for her
project, Mrs. Koch studied psychology
and received masters degree in the
subject in 1923.
She has studied art since childhood
and twice has been awarded fellow
ships. She plans to continue her
studies abroad.

sign the formal judgment and he would
determine later whether he would carry
an appeal to the Circuit Court.
Sharp Clashes Prevalent.
The hearing was enlivened~b by sharp
clashes between counsel for both sides
There is other property left in the lessee
bv the terms of the lease, 1t was said
but 1t cannot be reached unless right
of way is given over the front property
by DR.. Dunno. Attorney CiSsel said
that If a right of way was excluded. the
only way the property could be reached
would be by airship.
DR.. Dunno was the only witness placed
on the stand. the defense resting its case
without presenting any evidence. Mr.,
Lamar, in his argument, contended that
the only matter involved in the hearing
was the 30-day notice to quit. He said
that the terms of the lease did not con-
template that the roadway right should
continue longer than provided for In the
lease.
Mr.. Cissel said that the provisions OF
the lease showed that DR.. Dunno was
exercising her option to get the land
fronting on the roads, and asked where
there was any assurance that the land
might not be sold tomorrow and al
right of ingresS and egreSs into the back
property cut off. He said that in that
event his client would be liable for the
rent of the back property, and the only
means of getting to and from 1t would
be by airshlp. He said to bar his client
from the property not taken back would
be unfair and unjust.
