 SERVICE IN TRENCHES

PARIS, March 10-Georges Quinton, a reservist who was cited in the or ders of the day for holding out, alone of all his section, against the attack of last November, near Ypres, sends some interesting notes of trench life.
 He writes:
 -Four days in the mud up to our knees when we stand up to fire; up to the armpits when we sit down to rest; as for lying down in it, that's not to be thought of
 Here at the rest depot we find the illustrated papers with photographs of parlor trenches such as we haven't had the luck to see. The real busi-

UNIFORMS STRIPED
 LIKE THE ZEBRA

LONDON, March 1O-The experi- ehces of this war may lead to the trail of soldiers uniforms triped like ure. It is the unbroken mass of the rainbow, in the opinion of some military observers who have seriops doubt as to the effectiveness of khaki or blue-gray, or any of the other col. ors now in use. In India and South Africa. where khaki got it's reputa. ton as a uniform cloth, it fitted well into the backgrounds of the land. scapes, but in the different landscapes and atmospheres of Europe both the khaki and the blue gray show up con spicuously in mass.
 Nature, the color experts now say. did not stripe the zebra by way of ornament, but as a protective meas ure. It is the unbroken mass of color, no matter of what shade, that catches the eye in the distance. Col. Maude, well-known expert, recounts an instance in India when his party, approaching a parade ground from a distance, were unable to see but one of three battalions until comparative ly close up. The troops all wore scarlet jackets. But two troops were made invisible by white pipeclay belts and cross-straps, which broke the mass of color. while the conspicuous body had dark stripes which blended in with the red. Tigers, leopards, birds, lizards, snakes and most living crea- lures use a mottled coloring.
 While scarlet is most conspicuous at short range, 1t is one of the first of the primary colors to fade from view at a distance. AS a landscape has all colors in 1t, striped, large checks or varigated blotches of diff ferent colors are the easiest to melt into the background. This fact was recognized in old times, when forts on the coast were painted irg black and white squares.
 Even now crude coIors in stripes are used to conceal wagons from air men.

-plosion of the huge charge of powder necessary to hurl nearly a ton of met al fifteen miles that is said to be the range of the American 16-inch weapon.
 The rifiing of the gun burns out under the blast Drops Of melted steel are visible fin the bore after each shot, and it is said that the life of the Queen Elizabeth's 15-inch weap. ons is less than loo Nhots each. Af- ter that the gun is so inaccurate as to be virtually useless.
 Navy gun designers have overcome that difficulty somewhat. it is said with the new American 16-inch gun: but the life of the gun is still far be- low that of the 14-inch gun.
 The Krupp works, before the out. break of the present war, announced that a process of steel and powder manufacture had been evolved that decreased erosion; bat the factory is to have refused to con tract to supply a large number of great guns under guarantee of 25O rounds accuracy-hre life.

 WASHINGTON, March 1S-The two battleships provided for in the eur. rent naval bill may be armed with 16inch rifles, the heaviest naval guns ever designated.
 While tentative plans for the new ships contemplate vessels similar in general design to the 32,OOO tons gi. ants Of the California class, now build ing, details of armament and engine equipment are being given unusual attention by navy designers and the results obtained from the 15-inch main batteries of the newest British and German battleships are being closely watched.
 Already the new 16-inch gun has been subjected to tests at the Indian Head proving ground and while the de- tails of it's construction and perform ance are closely guarded, it is known that the gigantic weapon has given proof of it's efficiency that has delight ed navy ordnace experts. The gun was built at the American naval gun factory and has been undergoing tests for several months.
 Some idea of the probable sifle of the new American gun may be gath cred from the fact that each of the eight 15-inch guns of the British bat tlship Queen Elizabeth weighs 96 tons, while similar guns designed in the Erupp works for German battle ship. aid down this year each weigh more than S2 tons. The 14-inch ri- fes of the battleships New York and Texas for the five new American dreadnaughts now under construction, weigh 633 tons each, and it is cer- tain that the new 16-inch weapon weighs more than 100 tons without it's mountings.
 Krupp engineers have designed a 16-ineh gun which fires a projectile weighing POPS pounds against the l. 675 pound mass of steel hurled by the 15-inch rifles adopted for the German navy. and the 1,72O pound proiectile poured into Turkish fortresses of the Dardanelles by the British battleship Queen Elizabeth. None of the Ger man or British vessels of the first line carry any weapon exactly simi- to the American 14,inch gun. jump having been made last year from the standard 12-inch rife to the 15inch type.
 The New York, Texas, Nevada and Oklahoma each carry ten 14-inch guns while the Pennsylvania, California, Idaho and Mississippi each will carry twelve, placed three in a turret' These weapons throw projectiles weighing 1,4OO pounds, as is the case with the 14-inch guns designed for the four Japanese battleships estimated for in 1914.
 With the increase in size, the life of the gun is shortened by erosion due to the heat generated by the ex-

HON THE DUTCH CARE FUR THE
 REFUGEES

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 NUNSPEET, The Netherlands, Mar. 1O-The life of the nine thousand Bel gian refugees who are enjoying the hospitality of the Dutch authorities in a vast camp here, is an interesting sidelight of the war. The camp, which is one of the numerous similar concentration centers spread about Holland, is situated on a sandy plain surrounded by pine woods, renowned for their efficiency in the treatment of tuberculosis. It consists of four villages formed of capitally arranged and commodious huts, in which each family has a chamber. All have board floors and are illuminated with electric lights. In each of the vil- lages are large workrooms for differ ent trades, washhouses, baths and a children's recreation shed, all provid- ed with heating apparatus, while there are four schoolhouses and a wooden church capable of seating about 2,OOO people. Hospitals for ordinary ail- ments and for infectious diseases. a dispensary and several small libraries have been either specially erected or established in houses already erected in the neighborhood and lent for the purpose by charitable people.
 The camp is under a dutch military guard and besides the company of 150 soldiers a small detachment of country police and Belgian gendarmes patrol the villages to keep order. Tools necessary to all the ordinary trades are provided and several small Il huts in each village are fitted up as workshops. The men make or mend all their own shoes and clothes. while the women do sewing.
 It is interesting to observe the pride the refugees take in decorating the huts, which are separated by wide tracts of ground. Each shack has received it's name and the difference in the two Belgian races-Flemish and Walloon-can be marked at once by the inscriptions in Low Dutch or French. A small proportion of the people are biIingual, but 6,OOO of them speak only Flemish and the other 5000 only French.
 Around the shacks, notwithstanding the sandy soil, some of the men have laid out little patches of garden. The authorities distribute daily pre- miums to those obtaining the best re. suits in neatness and cultivation. Tn one place an excellent imitation of the Dutch lion is laid out in sand and green turf fetched from the woods
 Four priests and 34 sisters are en- gagged in the religious and educational work Of the camp, and besides these there are men and women among the refugees who possess a high grade of education and who give their ser. vices as readers to their companions in distress in the schoolrooms after nightfall. A benevolent resident of the district also has presented a mov- ing picture apparatus for entertain. ment.
 Sickness among the refugees has been little consideraing the number of people and the circumstances under which they were brought together in spot where no drainage or sanitary arrangements existed before their ar rival. Only one adult has died since the camp was formed, and that was woman of over eighty years of age Among the children a number have died of measles.

Jimmy Lee in New One

It was a packed house which greet ed the change of bill at the Coliseum last night and Jimmy Lee as The Funny MT Dooley'' scored another hit to add to his already long list. As usual, MT. Lee was funny and so were Lew Mathews and Frank Nack. Vack played the part of the Dutch uncle and, as he has just become a proud and happy father of a record breaking boy, his spirits were even more eXuberent than usual
 Madeline Lee had all the audience singing Dublin Bay" enthusiastical- ly and for a time it looked as if they would never let her leave the stage. All the others were as good as usual, meaning they were very good in deed; and the chorus put a thous- and dollars worth of pep in their work in honor of the cool night. You never have to ask if you get your moneys worth at the Coliseum while Jimmy Lee is there.

RIGHTEOUS ARIZONA
 SAYS HELP WANTED'

It does not take very long for a noted dramatic success to get into the movies in these days and the most notable instance of this is the filming of Help Wanted" Jack Lait's great play which caused such a sen- sation on the coast and in the east. One of the few plays produced on the coast and then taken east to score an even greater success than in the city of it's production.
 Like all Paramount features, it has been given a splendid production and comes to the Arizona tomorrow night, from the MOrosco -Bosworth studios, as one of the big things of the sea son. It is an exceptionally strong play, dealing with one of the big questions of the hour and with Lois Meredith as the stenographer, Hobart BosWorth as her broker employer and Owen Moore as his stepson and ri val, it should be interpreted in a manner to live up to the fullsome praise the press has lavished on it since it's release.

BiIIy Reeves at Empress

When something happens in a household and an old faithful butler is called away and a new butler takes his place it is not generally a laughing matter. But it is different when "The New Butler" in the per son of the famous English music hall comedian, Billy Reeves, appears at the Empress tonight for a three day engagement This is surely a side-splitting comedy If you saw Billy in "1'he Substitute" you know how funny he is. If you didn't come and get acquainted with the coming comedian of the times. He is better than Charlie Chaplin. The Essanay drama, "TEe Little Deceiver" fla turing Edna Mayo and Richard c.

 FOR A SPECIAL ID FRISCO FAIR
Local Organization Com mends Sending Delega- ton in Special to Cele- brate Arizona Day at the Fair at Frisco

At the weekly meeting of the board of directors of the Chamber of Com merCc yesterday afternoon, the un- qualified endorsement of the proposed special train to the San Francisco exposition was given.
 It was ascertained that by obtain ing 125 people to make the trip in the train a special rate of $2775 could be obtained.
 No special date for the Arizona day has been set aside as yet by the fair authorities. August 28 has been proposed and has met with the ap probation of a number of people in terviewed on the subject.
 The excursion proposed by the Santa Fe would extend from August 2f to 30, thus including the potential Arizona day. Undoubtedly that day would be officially declared as set aside for Arizona if the train were sent through loaded with live Ari- zonians.
 pr. RedewiI, leader of the First Regiment band will chaperon his or ganization on this train if the pro- posal of the Santa Fe is carried cut. in addition to this organization, au Indian school company will probably be sent over. The fair management is very anxious to get the company over there, no other state seeming to have as well drilled or such a good organization as the one possessed by Phoenix.
 These two organizations would make up about eighty-five of the required number for the train.
 Anyone who is desirous of taking part in the Arizona day celebration at San Francisco, and who wish to make the trip on this train are re- quested to call up the Chamber Of Commerce, in order that it may be ascertained about how many wish to go, and to enable these at the head of the plan to tell whether the re- quired number of passengers is going to be secured for the train.
 The cost of a Pullman berth each way is 8, which added to the fare of S27.25, makes a lower price for the trip than the fare now scheduled of $475O.
