> MEXICANS FINALLY. OVERCOME YAQUIS Trte, Indpedent 00 Your, Sabts t Lath Rule Mexice, City, May 14 (UP)—Mex- ico's fierceat warriors, the Yaquis at last have agreed to be commanded by u-'u-l leaders. For 400 years —390 under Spanish rule and 100 under Mexican—the Yaquis main- tained their independence, refusing te ‘be conquered. Beaten at the end by the government, with their coun- tey- in ruins, they now go one step further in becoming Mexicanized by their acceptance of a ‘foreign’ com- maader. ’ Four hundred Yaqui soldiers are at Fort Perote a mountain near. Orizaba in the atate of Vera Cruz. This is the group which for the first time in history has submitted to a non-Indian leader. The war office’s announcement of a'ehange in the or- ssnisation of this Yaqui force was regarded as signifying the disap- pearance of Yaquisas separate units. Hereafter they simply will be part of the army. Col. Enrique Morfin has. been assigned to the group under the new arrangement. The actual conqueror of the Ya- Quig is Gen. Francisco Manzo, one of the leaders of the present rebellion who recently crossed the United States border at Nogales to escape falling into federal hands. The Man- st the Yaquis un- rs Ag0 Was organ. ined with 13,000 troops and equip- ment which included nine airplanes. Comtrolied River Valley At that time the Yaquis controlled & reglon extending a hundred miles north of Guaymas in Sonora and which_included some of the best lands in the republic. The stretch under Yaqui ownership extended aleng the Yaqui river valley in a dis- teict larger than the Imperial valley of California and with water sources three times as great as those of the Imperial ey. Today the only Yaqui country left in Yaqui power is in the Bacatete mountains. But the power is small. All the warriors are gone or killed. ‘Women and children and old men predominate in the last citadel. As in the present revolution, the rebel Indians in Yaquiland lost their fight -partly through the ment's use of the most modern arm of war—the. airplane. planes that Manzo had on his front flew again and again over Yaqui ter- ritery, bombing and spreading terror. The federal planes drove the inhabi- tants of Bacatete, the capital, into the mountains and finally dellroped it ‘Wanted Own Chief Ammunition ran low after the war had raged incessantly for many the plane raids continued unceasingly, and finally, cut off from the world, and beleaguered from the air and all points of the compass, the Yaquis surrendered. Their sur- repder. however was conditional. ‘They agreed to take service in the Mexican army provided their own chief, General Ignacio Mori should be permitted to continue as their head.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1929, DUISBURG ANCIENT CITY IN GERMANY Rhineland City Was Well Known to Roman Armies ‘Washington, D. C., May 14 — “Duisburg, which is celebrating its eight hundredth anniversary as a city, is Germany's largest river port,” says a bulletin from the ‘Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society. “In reality, Duisburg is nearly twice 800 years old. There was a village on its site in 430 A. D., and it was well known to the Romans when they occupied the Rhine coun- try many centuries ago. When the city charter was handed to the Duisbergers in 1129, the port's com- mercial importance had been estab- lished.

Duisberg, as the water gateway of the Ruhr district, bids fair to continue to grow. “Forty per cent of the working population of Duisburg work in the great steel mills of the Duisburg area. Frequently they crowd the city stadium which accomodates 40,000 spectators. i “The opera, and some of Ger- finest orchestras find en- c audiences here. Many churches and government buildings, as well as the museum, are adorned with paintings, sculptures or indus- trial art works. “The newer portion of Duisburg is laid out with modern thorough- fares, in the business districts of which are fine shops.
