The American infantryman in the
! expeditiOnary forces carries 200 rounds
| Of ammunition in the pockets of his
| light canvas webb belt and his bando-
leers. The German soldier has only
| 100 rounds, and 30 of these are in his
knapsack. To secure them at a critical
moment he must lose valuable time.
The American webb belts, according
to the war department, are far SUI
perior to the German leather bando-
leers. They are not affected by pro-
lOnged rains nor tOrrid weather. The
manufacture of these belts is one of
the most intricate of the operations in
the textile field United States army
belts are made almost entirely of cot
ton.
The exact weight of the 22O rounds
carried by the American soldier in
France is u pounds With the Spring
field rifle % aimed shots can be fired
each minute. Firing from the hip 40
shots can be fred a minute. The new
United States model 1917 (modifed
Enfeld) does even better.
The registration of German alien
females, to begin Monday, June II,
and end Wednesday, June %, will be
conducted in cities or municipalities
having 5000 population or over by the
police officials. In communities hay
ing a population of less than 5000 the
registration will be handled by post
masters.
In general the plan of registration
is the same as that followed in the
registration in February of German
alien males. Each person who must
register will be required to register
her finger prints. This method of
Identification is also used in the mill
tary and naval services of the United
States.
Boy scout organizations are active
in locating black walnut trees. Black

Enough heavy Browning machine
guns for instruction purposes have
been shipped to every National Guard
training camp and National army
cantOnment in the country where
troops are in training. Heavy Brown |
ings for overseas training have been
shipped.
Light Browning rifles sufficient In |
number to equip the machine-gun |
units Of more than four army divisions
have been manufactured, and over |

WILLIAM FARNUM IN THE c0NQUEROR TODAY
 EAGLE THEATER FILM

Facts about the Conqueror. in which William Farnum is starring tocay at tha Eagle Theater, follow:
 San Antonio was besieged by the Texan Army under General Stephen F. Austin and Edward Burleson in 1885 and was finally taken early in Decem- Der as the result of the attack led Oy Colonel Benjamin R. Milan. Its re- capture by Santa Anna. February March, 1886, was distinguished by the heroic defense of the mission (par- ticularly the chapel of the Alamo) by Colonels William Barrett Travis, Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett and IFS others against the attack of 4000 Mexi- cans.
 After a bomhardment lasting from the 23d of February to the 9th of March, the Mexieans assaulted on the 9th. were twice beaten back. and then they overpowered and slaughtered the garrison, five lone survivors being subsequently bayonetted in cold blood. Three women, one Mexican, two chil- dren and a negro servant were spared.
 Remember the Alamo" became a war cry of the Texans The Mexicans again invated Texas in 1S42 and San Antonio was twice captured and held for short periods, first by General Vas quez and later by General Voll.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Confusing conditions accompanied today's re- duced stock dealings, the market recording a series of bewildering ad- vances and declines. This uncertain ty resulted mainly from further profit taking and a renewal of short selling.

 United States Steel broke almost points from it's best and closed at 1105s, net loss of 4. Marines were at all times noteworthy exceptions to the widespread irregularity.

LEGIoNS OF DEATH AT ORPHEUM THEATER, IS
 LIKED BY BISBEEITES

"The Legi0ns of Death" shown again today at the Orpheum theater is one of the most interesting pictures that has been seen in Bisbee in months. The settings are very elab- crate while the picture is replese with battle scenes which are spectacular in the extreme.
 Practically the entire stage of the Hollywood studios was devoted to this double" setting Another distinctive set is that which is said to be an exact reproduction of the Czarna's boudoir in the winter palace in Petrograd. The lavish splendOr of the set will be ap- preciated only when seen on the screen in this forthcoming Metro pro duction de luxe.
 For the realistic battle scenes trenches were dug in the San Fernan- do Valley. Cal In this section the pho tography resembles the country over there"
 It was estimated that 2S,0OO cubic yards of earth were removed in dig ging these trenches. A force of 100 laborers were engaged in transforming the peaceful valley into one of EI- ropes bloodiest battle fields.

TED LEWIS RETAINS
 TITLE IN 2O-R0UND
 BOUT WITH PULLMAN
1Pu Review Leased Wire,

DENVER, Colo, May 17.-Ted Lewis of England. worlds welter- weight boxing champion, was given a decision over Johnny Tillman of Min neapolis at the end of their 20-round bout here tonight.
 For the first time in championship bout. decision was given by two judges and a referee. Billy Roche of New York was made referee when Lewis and his manager refused to en- ter the ring with any other man. They compromised, however, on having two judges, Abe Pollock and Patrick Gal lagher of Denver, at the ringside to collaborate with Roche in awarding the decision. The verdict was unanf nous in favor of Lewis.
 At no time was Lewis title in danger and in only one round, the fourth, did Tillman have the advant- age. The fifth, seventh and fourteenth were even. From the fifteenth on, everything was in Lewis favor. He rushed the fighting throughout these rounds.
 Tillman put upa game fight but the cleverness of the champion was too much for him. However, Tillman fin ished strong and neither man had a mark to show for the encounter.
 The beginning of the tenth round saw the beginning of the end of Till mans chances for victory. Lewis, par ticularly at in-fghting showed a marked superiority from this time on. Lewis missed many blows, which had they landed would have damaged his opponent, through GTillman's clever ness in getting out of the way or in blocking.
 There was not a knock down during the fight nor was any blood drawn.
