ing the naval experts as to the steps to
be taken.
He expressed the belief that the
American people were as earnestly In
favor Of world peace as were the Brit

made to feel they were acting in CO.
operation with the British for the
achievement of international peace
there would result an influence for the
benefit of the world at large.
Among those who listened to Lord
Grey were Viscount Gladstone, WIS.,
count Cowdray, Earl Buxton and the
Countess of oxford, widow of Lord OK

iSter at the outbreak of the World War,
and who until his death headed the
wing Of the Liberal party opposed to
former Prime Minister Lloyd George
While willing to admit that the policy
advocated by Lloyd George in dealing
with the unemployment problem was
right, Lord Grey stated that his atti-
tude OF benevolent concurrence was not
accompanied by any other peace ges-
ture. In conclusion he said: 1.-THE rea-

With Gen. j. GonZalo Escobar, revo-
1utionary commander in chief, here to
command them, rebel troops retreating

About go rebel troops, said to be
from. the rebel army retreating into
Sonora from Sinaloa, were reported to
have reached the hills south of Naco
last night, joining forces with Gen.
Fausto Topete'S army. The latter force
IS said to number upward of 1000 men
Four rs millimeter field pieces were
reported in the hands of Topete's men.
Gen. Topete was making frequent
trips from his camp to the south of
Naco to Aqua Prieta to meet the first
battalions of Gen. EScobar's incoming
army. Gen. EScobar's exact where
aboutS were not known here early to-
day, but it was believed he was in
Nogales, Sonora, comforting with Gen.
Francisco BorqueZ. Rebel leaders said
1t was absolutely essential to the revolt
cause to take the Naco garrison. They
pointed out that unless this was done,
1t might be possible for federals who
now control Juarez to transport large
bodies of troops across the United States
to enter Mexico here and attack rebel
forces from the rear.
Reported Preparing to Attack.
Reports coming from Topete's camp
said the rebels we're preparing to attack
Naco with gas bombs and artillery. The
report spurred the federalS to further
fortify the garrison with heavy timbers,
and to send airplanes over the rebel
camp. An anonymous circular dis
tributed in Naco, Ariz., yesterday gave
warning of a proposed gas bomb attack
and admonished citizens to be ready to
evacuate the town.
So far as known, no one has left.
Regardless Of what action is contem-
plated here. Brig. Gen. Frank S. Cocheu,
commanding the American forces in
Arizona, which now include 10 United
States Army airplanes, has given warm
ing that United States aviatorS will
shoot down any Mexican battle plane
flying over Arizona, and also will take
action If Mexican bullets start flying
again through the Arizona town.
