SPECIAL FORM OF WIRE USED
 FOR PHONES

i OANb N11y ~ Wy HACc~ ciated Press) Official reports on Signal Corps equipment for the war, made public today, show that one special form of telephone wire, un- known to commercial use before the war, was being turned out at the rate of 10000 miles month at cost of nearly $6,OOO0OO when the armistice was signed.
 The American telegraph and tele- phone system in France totalled 96,- 900 miles when the fighting ended, this being the semi-permanent install lations. When fighting was at its peak, the corps was approximating the use of 68,000 miles of output wire month in addition, one development of the war being the necessity for two wire circuits for front line operations to prevent the enemy from fastening" in on the old style single wire equip ment. Wire wastage was enormous as it had to be abandoned whenever an advance was made.
 There had been set up in France last November 2S2 American tele phone exchanges with 14,956 lines reaching to 8,959 stations. Even the telephone instruments used were of special design, combining both tele- phonic and telegraphic communica- tion and the production of these in the quantity needed was problem in itself.
 At the close of hostilities the United States had 133 fully equipped telegraph stations in France, which were handling daily average of 43,- 845 messages of 60 words each during the last days of the fighting, or within about 5000 of the peak load.
 An instance of the enormous de- mand that development for field glasses, lenses for which before the war largely were obtained from Ger many, lies in the work of the Bausch and Lomb Co.,, of Rochester, N Y, which beginning with a capacity of 1900 pairs of field glasses year in 1914 had reached an output of $500 pairs a week in November, 1918 and was aiming toward an output of $500 pairs week by January, 1919. Sim liar expansions of facilities wer3nec- essary in many other plants. The re- quirement of the forces in France for the six-power artillery glass alone was approximately 100000 pairs and 1O6,0OO pairs were shipped from the United States.
 The report devotes considerable space to discussion of the progress made in motion picture photography during the war. By these means, it is pointed out, the signal corps has created "a new kind of history of the war, history written entirely inl pictures for future generations to scan'
 Carrier pigeons, never before em- ployed extensively in the American army, were widely used in France. More than 15,000 were purchased and trained for that service and the report adds that "in actual use on the field the pigeons delivered more than 95 per cent of the messages entrusted to them, flying safely through the heav- fest shell and gas barrages.

 The Ohio Home Rule Association, the "wet" organization, is planning its campaign to defeat the enforce ment bills next November. It has also started referendum on the resolu- tion ratifying the national prohibition amendment, but this Is being resisted in the courts by the Anti-Saloon League.

OHIO LIKELY TO GO DRY
 ON MAY z

COLUMBUS, O., May IT (by Asso. ciated Press).-Just what is going to happen to the liquor traffic in Ohio after May 27 when the prohibition amendment to the state constitution, adopted last autumn, becomes effec. tive. is problem that is bothering state and local officials.
 The state faces the situation of having dry constitution but no statutes to enforce 1t. The general as- sembly enacted enforcement meas. ures but they must run the gauntlet of referendum next November be- fore they can become operative and should the voters disapprove of them there will be no particular authority by which to enforce prohibition, 1t Is said. Anti-Saloon league officials say they have not given up hope of ob- taining some legislation that will be effective May 27.
 Most of the saloon keepers are planning to quit business May 27 and they may have to retire even before that. The license year of saloonkeep- CTS expires May 24. None has ap- piled for renewal Df license and the

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THE ME-
THOD IN EXHIBITING SERIAL
PICTURES AT THE MOVIES.

DFdI Or,
Please allow me space in your es-
teemed . per for the following answer -.
In yesterday issue Of ST.. CrOiX Avis
IS complained over the manner in which
the serial pictures for the time being are
exhibited in the Theatre. The reason
why only two episodes are exhibited at
every shcW is THAI only z e )isodes of the
serial The Bulls Eye arrive every Sat
urday or Sunday with the schooner
Virginia and only 2 EPISODES Of the
serial The Lions Claw" arrive every
Wednesday with he schooner Creole"
from St. Thomas, and it mas been i'm
possible to secure three episodes of any
OF the serials on account of the other
Theatres both IN Porto Rico and in
s.. 'homas, who exhibit the same pic
lures are not showing more than 2
episodes Of each serial at any perform
ance.
1t seems that the contributor of the
article in yesterdays issue is under the
than 2 episodes OF the serial The Lions
him that it is exactly the same number
of episodes exhibited in Christiansted as
in St. Thomas. | agree entirely with
desirable to show three episodes of a
serial, and only show one serial at the
time instead of two as now. but it was
impossible at the time to Sc cure any seri-
al on said conditions.
10 Drove that it was rot possible to
secure a serial on any other conditions

ing information
When the present serials we're com
menced | was notified that he price for
