MEXICO CITY IS BELIEVED SAFE FROM ATTACK Ooubt Rebels Have Leader for Sudden Strike to Take Capital. BY LYLE C. WILSON. Cniterf Pre Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. March 18.—Mexico City and the rich southern part ol the republic are considered today safe from rebel attack unless there develops among the rebellious general* a strategist of Napoleonic daring and originality. Two tentacles of rebel troops reach from the disloyal northern states toward the . richer south which it is believed here, must be attacked if the rebellion is to enjoy ultimate success. One rebel thrust was southward from Sonora into the state of Sinaloa. State department dispatches reported rebel troops within thirty miles of Mazatlan. Sinaloa, but said there appeared to be a general withdrawal northward again. Rebels Withdraw In the central part of the country, the rebels are in Torreon, state of Ccahuila. But dispatches indicate the main body under General Escobar is withdrawing northward into Chihuahua. For a brief period the rebels neld Monterey, state of Nuevo Leon, and Vera Cruz, a gulf coast seaport. The importance of each of these places Ites largely in their rail connections—each being situated on one of the four railways that lead near or to Mexico City. Military authorities here are confident no rebel drive toward the capital could succeed except along a railway line and it is not believed here the rebels* will be able to utilize this opportunity. Shorten Lines But the gradually changing military situation which finds the rebels shortening their lines of communications by falling back and the federal lengthening theirs by advancing, admittedly creates a situation which might tempt a daring leader. By means of a quick thrust, military authorities said, a well trained, extremely mobile army might dodge behind the advancing federals, cut their lines of communications and go roaring south gobbling railroad towns and perhaps winning recruits on their way. Even with luck, however, it was believed here such a venture would be more spectacular than successful unless the so far loyal southern states could be induced to rise against the government.

CZAR’S GHOST STIRS Prepare to Strike Back at Soviet

BY REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS. March 19—The Russian white army, ghost-like echo of the Russian empire, awaits only funds before taking up arms against the Soviet governemnt, Alexander Kroupensky, president of the supreme monarchist council, said in an interview with the United Press. Kroupensky predicted the moment for anew drive for the vanished throne of the czars would come within the next few years. “We are ready,” he said. “We could put 100,000 men in the field tomorrow.” Kroupensky said if the white army had the necessary funds, the drive could begin immediately, and the army would be in possession of Moscow within six months. The monarchists rely on support from the inside to a great extent, he revealed.

“We could accomplish the coup with 20,000 men, I am sure,” Kroupensky said. “The peasants would rally to our flag. The soldiers of the red army who faced us would desert en masse. “There would be no bloodshed in the country, where the bolshevik regime is unpopular, although we expect to encountei opposition in the industrial centers. “When the hour strikes, Russia will blaze. There will be anarchy.

day that federal columns would leave the captured rebel city of Torreon immediately to “fight and exterminate” rebel forces In the state of Chihuahua. Calles said he would reach Torreo.n by airplane or automobile this morning from Guadalupe Victoria, about eighty miles south of that city. The government announced that rebel leaders in the state of Chihuahua made peace proposals through the Mexican consulate at El Paso but the proposals were flatly rejected .and the offensive against the fleeing troops of the rebel general, J. Gonzales Escobar, was continued. Escobar evacuated Torreon before the advance of Calles army, as the veteran federal leader had predicted. They fled northward to Escalon, state of Chihuahua, as federal cavalry under General Benigno Serrato led the government much into Torreon. It was assumed Escobar was attempting to reach rebel troojjs at Chihuahua City, where Governor Caraveo is in command of insurgents. FIGHTS FOR SHARE OF LUCKY BALDWIN RICHES Petitioner Declares He Is Natural Son of Father and Daughter. By United Press LOS ANGELES, March 19.— The will of Clara Baldwin Stocker, eldest daughter of the late E. J (Lucky) Baldwin, was the target today of a suit filed by a 60-year-old man who claims a full share share of her $15,000,000 estate. The petitioner is George Winfield Baldwin, who says he is the natural son of “Lucky" Baldwin and Mrs. Stocker. Francis J. Heeney, attorney for Mrs. Stocker, and for executors of her will, said that “the man has been to see the heirs, but his claim is absurd.” The action was filed late Monday by Griffith Jones, Los Angeles attorney, in behalf of Baldwin. The petitioner declared that when he was 3, he saw Mrs. Stocker for the first time in his recollection. A year later he saw “Lucky” Baldwin, he said. But it was not until seven years ago that % he learned definitely who his parents were, he asserted. Mrs. Stocker, who inherited her father’s millions, died Feb. €7.

At that moment, Russia will require a hand of iron; she will need autocratic rule. “A czar with unlimited powers will be the only way of restoring order in the chaos that will follow a counter revolution.” “Sympathizers with our cause are plentiful within the red army and navy.” Kroupenesky said. “They are working among the peasants and in the factories, encouraging and crystallizing the feeling of discontent.”

REVOLT DRIVES HUNTER HOME City Man Says Many Mexicans Want U. S. Rule. The latest Mexican revolution is a religious war and both sides would be delighted to have the United States establish a protectorate or annex the country, according to Henry A. Roberts, 2309 College avenue, who has returned from a big game hunt in central Mexico, driven out by the rebels. Roberts is former state sales agent. “After fleeing from the country, and also before I entered. I came into contact with many of the better educated Mexicans and officials," Roberts said. “Without exception they are of the opinion that the United States could handle the country better than any government. The officials of the present government feel that this country would develop its resources better than it is possible to do under existing conditions and the revolutionists believe that religious freedom would be established. “Half of the priests have been driven from the country or killed and the revolution is a war of retaliation.” DISCIPLES OF CHRIST SCHOOLS HOLD RALLY Average age of youths joining church has been lowered in the past twenty years from 16 to 12 years, Dr. Jesse M. Bader, national superintendent of evangelism of the Disciples of Christ, told those attending a pre-Easter rally Monday night in the Central Christian church. William E. BeU, president of the Marion County Christian Workers’ Association, presided at the rally. Thirty-nine Sunday schools represented by 500 persons attended the rally. The Rev. William A. Shulenberger, pastor of the Central Christian church, had charge of the devotional service.

GIRL KIDNAPED 20 YEARS AGO HOME Gray-Haired Mother to See Her Child for First Time in Two Decades. Bn United Press CHICAGO, March 19.—Youth, an aged gray-haired mother and a tale of kidnaping twenty years ago furnished the characters and plot for a human drama that will be enacted here late today. Twenty years ago, Mrs. Lucrezzia Nuzzo entrusted her month-old daughter, Anna, to the care of a neighbor, Mrs. Mary De Franco, while she went shopping. Today Mrs. Nuzzo will see her daughter again for the first time. During the intervening score of years the mother made every effort to find her child. Last week she was told by Mrs. Nancy Onesti, godmother to the baby, that she had received a letter from San Francisco in which the missing girl made an appeal for help in finding her mother, Mrs. De Franco, who kidnaped the child, had taken her to California, and not until she was on her deathbed did she tell the girl that she was the daughter of Mrs. Nuzzo. Through papers the girl found her grandmother, Mrs. Onesti, and the appeal for aid followed. Arrangements for bringing the girl here were made by her brother, Andrew Nuzzo. And In accordance with an old Italian custom a fiance was picked for the girl. He is Joseph Scarbo and was one of the sqpre or more who were to meet Anna.
