and waiting for orders, now it looks
as if there would be nothing doing

the War department has conducted

There is little doubt but that most if

regards disability as in the regular
service. .
Under the new law adjutant gen

GIRL ROBBED AND
BEATEN BY NEGRO
Miss Blanche Monroe Victim
of Aaron Davis, Captured by
South Side Posse.
ASSAULT IN BROAD DAY
Less than a half hour after he had
assaulted and robbed Miss Blanche
Monroe, 17-year-old department store
clerk, living at 2308 Harrison street,
Aaron Davis, . a negro, was captured
by police officers at Twenty-third and
Polk streets, South Side, at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The assault occurred at Twenty
second and Polk street.. Davis fol
lowed Miss Monroe from the street
car line. She was just returning from
the North Side, where she is em'
ployed as a clerk in the Brandeis
stores..
Attacking the young woman from
behind, he snatched her pocketbook
and then began to beat her. .
A struggle, witnessed by two little
girls of the neighborhood, Celia Swo-
boda, 2421 Drexel street, and Agnes
Cormack, 2308 Harrison street, fol
lowed. The screams of the two chil
dren frightened the negro. He
threw the girl to the ground, kicking
her many times about the breast and
neck. Black and blue marks re
mained as evidences of his cruel treat
ment. Sister Rescues GirL ,
- Mrs. Cormack, a sister 6' Miss
Monroe, and M. Nelson, 224 Drexel
street, were attracted to the scene a
few minutes after the negro had fled.
They assisted the girl and called the
police.
A posse' of residents of the neigh
borhood took pp the trail of Davis.
A block away they cornered him in a
barn, where he held them off until
Detectives Gillen and Allen and Offi
cer Bert Hiatt appeared. As the offi
cers came in sight Davis threw away
the pocketbook that he had snatched
from Miss Monroe.
At the police station a booklet said
to have been the property of Harry
Templeton, 2318 South Seventh street,
was found on his person. The police
say that this booklet was taken from
Templeton when the. latter was
robbed on the North Side-some time
ago.. Davis confessed to the theft, as
well as five other thefts.
He told the police he had been
working the city for some time with

by cyanide, were placed there by some
one interested in the prosecution..
"Did you put those spots there?"

Two Hundred of De
Facto Soldiers Are
Killed by Yaquis
Nogales, 'Ariz., July 8. From 200
to 300 Carranza soldiers and camp
followers were massacred by bron
cho Yaquis early this week in lower
Sonora, according to stories told to
day by arrivals from that part of
Mexico. Those of the de facto de
tachment not killed by -gunfire, it is
said, were burned at the stake.
While reports place the number of
dead at 300, conservative estimates
made known disposal of troops near
the scene of the massacre, put the
loss at 200. '
News of the disaster to the Car
ranza force has caused excitement
and unrest among the Yaquis. While
it is known that large numbers of
Yaquis have joined the de facto
army, there has been general disbe
lief that the entire Indian nation, in
cluding the broncho or wild Yaquis
have made peace with the Mexicans.
For that reason the reports of the
massacre generally are credited.
General Estrade has had several
thousand troops in the Yaqui valley
holding back the Yaquis' and it is
believed the opportunity for the re
ported massacre came bout when
Estrade moved his main command
north, to Hermosillo and Magdelana

The only British success and this
is declared to be unltjjaortaiT was
the capture of a salienTf German
trenches east of La Boisselle, only
a short distance east of the original
German line. From La Boisselle
southward the fighting was of a lo
cal character.
The Germans have thrown a
strong dam around the British flood
wave and isolated attempts to break
the dam have been unsuccessful.
The capture of the village of Hem
was accomplished by the French only
after three desperate attempts. The
first two onslaughts, although deliv
ered with great force and determina
tion, were repulsed. The third assault
gave them possession of the village
and enabled them to straighten out
their line between Curlif and Feuil

of fighting, were very heavx. The
