vicinity and villa bands have also
been reported in the same locality.
Villas whereabouts is moi definite

Washington. April 12.--It is under
stood that President Wilson and the
cabinet, convinced that German

sex, believe that the submarines have
embarked ON new reign of terror,
disregarding the rights Of neutral ma
tions on the seas.
Despite this fact, however, on the
eve of determining the course to be

seems to be how far this government

NEW LIGHTS
INSTALLED
ON STREETS
Ninety-One Lamps Of Modern Make are
Placed in District South Of Kansas
Avenue; Incandescenls Of
400 Candle Power

Manager Sihaffer, of the Chickasha
Electric Lighting company, reports
the completion of the installation of
the new street lights by his company
Several weeks since Mr. Schaffer
appeared before the city council and
gained the consent of that body to re-
place the old lights with new and
more modern lamps in order that more
satisfactory lighting might be furnish
ed to Chickasha
Mr. Schaffer stated this morning
that 81 lamps, nitrogen-filled, each
lamp OF 400 candle power, had been in
stalled in the territory lying south of
Kansas avenue, while from Kansas
avenue north the oil lamps had been
replaced with general electric mag
nitude" lamps, each of great lighting
power
The entire lighting system is SO ar
ranged that the two circuits may be
thrown on at one time and instantane-
ously from the power plant.
The lights in the district south of
Kansas avenue are Of the very latest
model. Each 400 candle power incan-
descent is encased in a ground glass
double globe, each globe manufactur-
ed with heavy corrugations. those on
the inner globe of longitudinal kind
and those of the outer. or casing globe
running in parallels. The corrugations
upon the globes are so arranged as to
refract the rays from the lamps in lat
oral waves, throwing the light down
and outward
The new lights in the general cleo
trio district will require attention
from once to two times per week; the
lights in the 'incandese~nt" district
will require no attention at all further
than the replacement, from time to
time, OF the lights which may have

of villa, Gen. Funston today centered
his attention on the progress Of the
American expedition, declaring that
the soldiers were nearer the consum-

the Mexican natives and are derided
in army headquarters here.
Messages which emphasized the
friendliness and cooperation of the

dition today made Funston highly OPP
