The picturesque square in seville ana the garden of the Ameri- can consulate. arranged for a wedding fete, provided the locale for the two acts and the love affairs of the two maria geable daughters Of the Amer 1can consul. complicated with the all lurements which a beautiful gypsy violin player threw around the fiances of the two girls made the plot. It was well balanced cast throughout that gave a finished production that won the favor of the big audience. The chorus voices were well drilled and harmonious and the principal solo parts were taken by good voices with Landeua, soprano. daughter of the consul, and Burton Lenihan, tenor, her fiance George Dunstan. bass. the gypsy king. and Violet Beasley, as Zaida. the gypsy violin player. It was the witchery of her violin that played havoc with mems hearts and the part gave her abundant opportunity to dis play her marvellous skill with her in strument, and she was given one re- call after another.
 Charles O'Connor as Sam Benton and Bertha Dom as Bessie Williams were delightful in their comedy play and Sylvia Tell was a feature number in her castinet dance and oriental dance.

lations. When fighting was at it's peak, the corps was approximating the use of 6S,000 miles of outpost wire a month in addition, one development of the war being the necessity for two wire circuits for front line operations to prevent the enemy from listen. ing" in on the old style single wire equipment. Wire wastage was enor- nous as it had to be abandoned when ever an advance was made.
 There had been set up in France las, November 2S2 American tele- phone exchanges with 14,956 lines reaching to 3959 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 tele- graph stations in France, which were handling a daily average of 43,S45 messages of 50 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 developed for field glasses, lenses for which before the war large ly were obtained from Germany, lies in the work of the Bausch and Lomb company of Rochester, N Y., which beginning with a capacity of 1900 pairs of field glasses a year in 1914, had reached an output of $500 pairs a week in November, 1918, and was aim ing toward an output of $500 pairs a week by January, 1919. Similar ex- pansions of facilities were necessary in many other plants. The require ment of the forces in France for the six-power artillery. glass alone was approxima ely 100000 pairs and 1O6,- 900 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, a history written entireiy in pie lures for future generations to scan.'
 Carrier pigeons, never before em- ployed extensively in the American army, were widely used in France. Mere than 15,000 were purchased and t. aimed for that service, and the re- port adds tha. lin actual use on the field the pigeons delivered more than 95 per cent of the messages entrusted to them, flying safely through the heaviest shell and gas barrages.

YUMA HAS ANOTHER "oIL BOOM | YUMA, May 1O+-More than 30 years ago young men who are now called 'old timers" discovered oil and gas in dications around Yuma They called the attention of the community to their discovery and they were laughed at for their pains
 Since that time every once in a while there has been an oil situation or an oil boom" About Is years | ago some adventurers banded together and started to locate oil claims upon homesteads in that part Of the valley which is now in the Somerton district. Eight or ten years ago an oil man came into Yuma and tried to obtain leases on Yuma and Gial valley lands for the period of 25 years, but when he found that the farmers would not sell their oil rights he left the coun- try. In 1903 Mir O. F. Townsend went as far as to incorporate company which was to explore and drill for oil near Yuma, but the company fell through because of the allure of fin ancial support.
 This year another company was in corporated-the Yuma Oil company and now before the stock has been of fered on the market nearly the entire issue has been spoken for by people who believe that there is oil in this country.

CAVALRY TROOP FOR U. 4.

TUCSON, May 1O.-Cavalry organi zation will probably be created at the state university this year. Colonel John J. Boniface. military instructor at the university, received the sug- gestion from the war department. He has approved and recommended othat a cavalry organization be created. The government will provide the horses and their equipment, also the forage for their keep. All the expenses that will fall on the university will be the building of the required stables and provide a location for them
 It is the opinion of Colonel Boniface that this cavalry should especially ap- peal to Arizona boys, as the greater number of them are familiar with the use of a horse, and he hopes to make a cavalry troop one fthe features of the university in the near future
