The chorus has been chosen from
more than three hundred applicants, a
fact which disproyes the oft repe lted
statement that there is a dearth of
chorus girls. In "The Only Girl" the
chorus will play an active part rather
than a pictorial background against
which is usually painted the action of
musical piece.
An endeavor has been made to OBJ.

found, among other things. that since

population from 5000 to 5000. Yuma
from $500 to 10000. Phillips from
3.179 to 5000, Sedgwick from 5000 to
1900 and Logan from 5000 to $500.

Juarez, Mexico. Nov 30 Since
early morning this old border town
has been the scene Of military activi-
ties. Soon after today the first troop
train brought the ragged survivors of
the de facto force which had fought
at Chihuahua City against Villa and
had escaped to the north.
Wounded Taken to Juarex.
Accompanying this train was a san.
itary section, consisting OF three sec.
ondclass coaches and one White
Cross hospital car In these cars
came more than 100 wounded soldiers
OF the Carranza command. who were
rescued from the heaps of dying and
brought to the border by their com.
rades. The hospitals are filled with
wounded and volunteer nurses are
working to care for the officers and
men who fell before the rain of bandit
bullets.
The officers of the Carranza COM
mand. which, for some reason, was
sent here, and foreigner refugees who
came on early trains. gave accounts
OF the four days and nights of fight
ing which preceded the evacuation Of
the capital city which are practically
the same, and which, pieced together.
give fairly connected account of the
seight OF chihuahua City.
Dead Fill Streets.
According to these officers and refu-
gees, the scenes in chihuahua City
when they left were awful. The dead
had been piled in the streets and oil
poured over them and the early dawn
was illuminated by these human
torches, they said.
Villa Seen in Chihuahua City.
One Mexican civilian refugee de-
clared he had seen Francisco Villa in
the city Monday morning before the
train left. He said villa was walking
without the aid of crutches, as if to in
spire his men with his fortitude. His
moustache was shaved off and he
looked much thinner than OF old.
To obtain medicines for his wound
ed, villa is said by this refugee to
have broken into two drug stores in
the city after. he had penetrated the
business section. Thinking this action
meant the beginning of looting, Villa
bandits broke into stores and private
homes, the refugee said. Villa, to stop
this looting, is said to have shot two
Of his followers and succeeded in
stopping the pillaging.
Nothing was known of the Ameri-
cans by these refugees.
