Aviators Repeat Story o
Becoming Lost in Ex-

Mexican Territory.
Douglas. Ariz.. March S. Lieu
tentnu U. G. Usher and L. M. Wolf,
American aviators who landed at
Nacozari. Mexico. FebnarV 2, ar
rived here Friday and at once left
for E! Paso by airplane "under
escort" by order of their command
ing officer. It is assumed here that
they are tinder arrest pending in
vestigation.
Usher and Wolf who have beet
at Nacozari, Sonora, since their air
plane made a forced landing reou
ry 2, arrived in Douglas shortly
before noon, having come from Na
cozari by rail. They are members of
I-light B," 12th Aero squadron, sta
tioned at Fort Bliss. They were ac
comoanied to EI Paso by two mem
bers of Flight A, 12th Aero squadron,
stationed at Camp Jones, and made
the trip n two planes.
The two aviators said they had
- nothing to add to their previous
statements as to now they came to
be more than 100 miles sojith ot
the international boundary line and
reiterated previous statements that
they had lost their way in clouds
after their compass failed to work,
causing them to lose all sense of
direction. They said when they new
over Nacozari they had run out of
'gasoline.
At the time they lost their way
the two aviators were enroute to
Douglas from Columbus, N. M.,
where they had been sent a few
days previous from El Paso. Ap
parently they crossed into Mexico
, some distance east of Douglas. They
were on regular harder patrol duty.
During their stay at Nacozari they
made their home at a Nacozari hotel,
'and until their release nine days ago,
were, constanely, though not clcsely,
under guard. They said they were
treated kindly by the Mexican of
ficials. - ' v . .

senator that the Department of Jus

railing to tret the president s con

reservations, which now seem to of
fer the only hope of ratification,
Senator Simmons will seek to learn
Mr. Wilson's views as to what step
should be taken next to restore a
status of peace while the treaty is
being fought out in the campaign.
Senator Simmons belongs to that
erouo of democrats who want peace
primarily and the treaty, with the
covenant, secondarily. They believe
that business, particularly the cot
ton industry, will suffer consider
ably unless the status of war is
brought to an end and normal con
ditions of trade restored as speedily
as possible. For this reason they
are reluctant to have the country
kept in a state of war while Mr
Wilson is awaiting the verdict of
the voters oif the covenant. These
democrats would 'vote for the league
without any reservations or for the
league with all the Lodge reserva
tions if it would get the treaty out
of the way. They are still willing to
tand by the president to the last
ditch if he insists, they say, but they
believe he should, show them a way
to restore peace.
Demos to Discuss issues.
By a vote of 41 to 22. the senate
dopted reservation No. 9 today, de
claring that the United States will
not be obligated to contribute to the
expenses of the league without di
rect appropriation by congress. The
only change made in the original
reservation, was the insertion of the
words "except the office force and
expenses ot the secretariat." Sen
ator Hitchcock proposed a' mild sub
stitute, but it was rejected 37 to 23,
Chairman Cummings of the demo
cratic national committee sent out
invitations today to democratic
senators to attend a dinner on
March 10 to discuss issues. It is
expected that the chief topic of dis
cussion will be the attitude to be
taken by the party, in support of the
peace treaty.

French Senate Shows'
Impatience at Trend
At Camaux Hearing
Paris, March 5. All the five wit
nesses heard and the depositions
read thus far- in the trial of former
Premier Joseph Caillaux, charged
with having intrigued with the Ger
mans, for the promotion of a prema
ture and dishonorable peace .have
dealt almost exclusively with the in
cident at Agadir, Morocco, in 1911,
where the Germans landed troops
from the gunboat Panther.
The members of the senate, sitting
as t high court, showed some impa
tience at the trend of the evidence
Friday.
Senator Cornet, cross-examining
Maurice Herbette, formerly chief
clerk in the foreign office, asked him
if he knew anything about the
charges against Caillaux. Senator
Bouvrie forestalled an answer by re
questing the court to discuss
whether further evidence concern
ing Agdair should be continued.
The evidence showed that the Ger
man code was an open book to the
French foreign office throughout
these years.
Caillaux himself conducted the
cross-examination of witnesses, apparently-taking
his cue from the dis
pleasure ' several times expressed
openly by some of the senators at
the tone adopted by the accused's
counsel.
