Ife, Mi) P^f' S IJI (iv 2 Has Been Through the War Without Joining: the WM^M: ^nny- „V Phoenix, Ariz., March 12.—-William Davidson, plain "BUI" to Arisona old timers, has arrlvejj In Phoenix from France. His return was as unosten tatious aa his going, which was un heralded. He has been wounded though he is past fifty yeans old—and he has been through a battle in which he says 1,000 men fell of 1,200 who went over the top. Bill, who had fought undter Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Jdhn C. Greenway, arrived in Bisbee from his AJo headquarters ostensibly to take part in a farewell to Captain, now Lieutenant Colonel" Greenway, who had abandoned his .post of general manager of the Caltmet and Arisona '"Copper company to go to the front in a regiment of engineers. The older veteran wanted to g», too, but his years barred him. How ever, on the train between Bisbee and El Paeo, Greenway enmo across Bill, who explained that he was making a Short trip to the border. Somewhere between El Paso and Chicago the engineer officer again found Bill on the train and again between Chicago and New York, where Bill dropped out of sight temporarBy. And then, in some way as yet unexplained, aboard the ship which carried Green way and the regiment of engineers to France, the colonel saw a man from the stokehold who looked familiar even beneath his gi lme and who, when he grinned, unquestionably was Bill. None but the colonel and Bilj knows the whole story, but Bill says he went through the war with the colonel. They were but A few feet apart when a shell dropped and sent Bill to the hospital with a badly torn arm. They were not far apart when the colonel was gassed at the head of his men, the place he sought. Out of one three-day fight the colonel and Bill came back with-200 men of the 1,800 who started against the Ger mans. When invalided home the colonel arrived in New York in time to go to the funeral services over the body of the man he had followed up San Juan Hill, Theodore Roosevelt, and with Bill, he was one of the dozen former rough riders who stood at the Sagamore Hill graveside. Bill was with the colonel at Hot Springs and just to encourage his commander in the continued practice of the baths, took as many as he did. He even took to golf as a means of setting the pace for the Greenway ex ercises. When he saw his colonel safely in the hands of the army rnedi !•eal staff at Fort Worth, Texas, Bill ••••'•came alone to Phoenix. Those- who have known him for years calculate he got here in time to miss the fuss staged at Douglas and Bisbee to wel come Colonel Greenway home. Now Bill is on his way to his AJo home, where he. probably will go back to mining,-the' put-suit which enabled him, to raise $10,000 on short notice in 1917 -sib that he might keep close to the ctflonel.

Rome, Tuesday, March 11.—The Osservatore Romano, the semi-official organ of the Vatican, prints an article on the league of nations which is un derstood to embody the viewpoint of the holy see. It says the league "might have been constituted in a simpler manner" and outlines the functions of the league as follows: The setting up of an arbitration tribunal to solve international con flicts. The formation of a society of all civilized nations, including those de feated in war, which will pledge themselves to submit their differences to a tribunal and accept its rulings. The bringing, about of an agree ment to (declare an economic^ boycott against any nation which refuses to submit controversies to a tribunal or which will not accept-decisions on matters which havejybeen so submit ted.

S. navy hopes to be the first body to send' an airplane across the Atlantic. In an effort to beat competitors the navy recently withdrew its largest sea plane from the aeronautical exposi tion at Madison Square ^Garden. Now every effort is being made at the Rockaway navAl training station to start the navy's, flying boat on its transocean course before Great Brit ain's dirigible or the machines of any other nation make the flight. Inquiry as to the cause for with drawing the navy's largest exhibit, Ithe N. C. I. at the last moment brought a statement from Secretary Daniels in ^Washington that his de partment wantf the credit of making the first transoccan flight. Aviators and explorers agree that a successful trip over the Atlantic would be one of the greatest^ feats of the century, and the name of the pilot making the flight would be writ ten in histories for all time. 'The trial will be made in the N. C. I. or a vessel of that type," said Secretary Daniels. Reports that the start will be made in the next days are slightly premature. It will be some weeks before we can start our flight." No Time to be Ixst. The secretary did not say that the arrival in Newfoundland of a British expert to designate a landing plafee for a British machine of the nonrigid dirigible type soon to leave England for this side was the cause of with drawing the N. C. I. from the expo sition. It was learned, however, that the navy received word there was.no time to be lost if the department is to get across the ocean ahead of the' others. The days spent in transferring the giant N. C. I. from Rockaway tip Mad ison Square Garden would be a waste of time that might prove fatal to their plans, navy officers said today. The army, too, is making ready for a transocean flight. Just what' type of plane will be used has not beenv decided. Army officers and heads of the aircraft department were interested "in many of the larger types of 'machines today. They' would not commit themselves as ,,to the army, plans. 1 Endurance Test Soon. The X. C. I. will receive an endur ance test soon. It already has made successful fights as far as Washing ton .and other points along the coast. Tne navy has four separate man chines of the same type. The N. C. 1. as- originally .' .built had an upper wing spanv,,(j(f 12*6 feet and the lower wings had as"span of ninety-four feet. The body of the craft is eighty-four feet long The lower wing is twenty four feet above the ground. It may be driven at will by two pilots sitting side by side and can carry a crew of five meiv in ,its enclosed cabin. The N. C. I. has carried in sus tained flight fifty-one passengers and has made eighty-five miles an hour. It climbs at the rate of 2,000 feet in ten minutes. Commander John H. Towers. is in charge of the overseas flight. The army is building its plane which will probably be of the Glenn Martin bombing type, and strictly a land machine with no pontoons. While the navy craft is expected to make the 1,800 miles between New foundland and Ireland in about fif teen hours, the army plane will be compelled, say experts, to make it in jumps, taking the Azores route and landing either in England or France. The naval flight will start from Far Rockaway. Just where the army will launch its craft has not been decided. ISLAND EXPLORED TO FIND GRAVE OF JUAN CABRILLO Santa Barbara, Cal., March 12. Again the rugged and little frequent ed Santa Barbara channel islands are being explored for the burial spot of Juan Cabrillo, the intrepid Spaniard who visited the California coast in the sixteenth century. The present search centers in San Miguel island, the property of J. P. Moore, a wealthy resident of Florida. With a party of friends Mr. Moore has been skirting the coast of San Miguel for several days, landing from time to time, where there aeemed a prospect of flnding the grave but al ways without success. Cabrillo died on one of the'islands, it appears reasonably certain, and San Miguel is generally believed to be the isle where he met death. One legend has it that Cabrillo died of a fever,' another that he met a violent death, perhaps inflicted by a warrior of the primitive Indian tribes inhabit ing the channel islands in that early "day. Cabrillo is said to have been secret ly buried at night in a cave in .a spot inaccessible except at low tide. Not all the romance that is ciatsd with San Miguel grows Out cf the supposed tragic death. For gen erations Californians have heard of the fabulous sums' of gold hidden there by sea rovers. Treasure is' said to Have been buried on the isle by Sir Francis Drake when the bold English mariner put in among the channel group fort rest and water after he had stripped Spanish bullion laden ships. Drake, so the legend runs, left hurriedly and neither returned nor gave ai key to the' secret cache. Several of the Spanish and Mexi can outlaws that overran southern California in the Spanish regime, and even after the Americans came, are said to have made the islands their meeting place and to have buried there a fortune in gold dnd silver coih. :S*: FILB COMPLAINTS.

One favored the participation of all self governing nations in the league and the other was in favor of the free trade. The question of participation by the Vatican aroused much discussion.
