WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.--.Govcrnor
Charles H. Miller OF Delaware asked
Secretary OF War Garrison yesterday
to make an exception in the case OF the
Delaware militia TO allow eight compan-
les TO constitute a regiment. Mr.. Garri-
son agreed TO make Il temporary cXcep.
tion ON condition that the State Legis-
laturc would bring the militia organiza-
tion up 90 the numerical requirements
Of a regiment as soon as practicable.
Governor Miller returned from Wash

day in Washington comforting with See.
refarv Garrison and General Mills re-
gardng the exemption OF the Delaware
militia from the Dick military law re-
quiring twelvc-company regiments for
the militia. with the result, as announc-
ed from Washington, that a temporary
exception will be made OF Delaware,
which has eight companies, on condi-
tion that the regiment is brought up to
numerical requirement later on.
Governor Miller and General Wicker
sham today said they had no statement
to make about their visit, as the Wash
ngton despatch about covered it, and
developments in Washington would nave
10 be awaited before any action regard
ing the requirement would be taken.
There are certain advantages that
would come to the Delawaie militia
should il be put on twelve-regiment
basis, unless Secretary OF War Garrison
should permanently except Delaware
from the twelve Company provision OF
the Dick law and recognize eight COM
panies as a regiment.
Any action to increase the regiment 10
twelve companies would have to be
taken by the next Legislature, the stat

tor James L. Bacon is arranging TO at
tach wages and rents for the city taxes
for the year 1918. Under the new law
the collector must settle with the city
in March. Mr. Bacon said last evening
that the delnquCnts must blame the
law and not the collector for any action
against them. The taxes were due last
July, and during the first two months
there was o rebate OF D pen cent. Then
the rebate became three per cent and
now two per cent. is added on the face
of the bill. As Mr.. Bacon must settle
with the city and has only few weeks
in which to make the payment, it can
be seen that be must collect the out
standing taxes.

as well as the Improvement IN tone OF

The broad principle Of sure and sound

is being maintained 10y the present man
agcmcut, and i'm every essential respect
the high standards OF the company have
been advanced Just and considerable at
tcntion has been given TO the interests OF
the policyholders. Many features OF gem
cral value TO the community have been
used by the company during the last year.
Among these have been the distribution
OF diseases and the preservation Of health,
such subjects as the care Of children, the
treatment and prevention of consump-
ton, the treatment Of conditions affecting
the eve, ear. nose and throat, and many
matters OF general interest having been
dealt with in a simple and effective way
for the general good. Through its Stats
teal department the Prudential has com
piled and given out TO the public many
valuable statistics upon questions affect
ing health, accidents and mortality.
The company pays over 400 claims a
day large percentage Of which is paid
within twenty-four hours Of the time OF
death. being paid Immediately upon receipt
n due proofs. The immense Importance
of this feature Of the company's work. in
pursuance Of which thousands Of claims
and other payments 10 policyholders,
amounting TO more than s30ooo,coo, were
promptly paid during the last year, can
best be appreciated by those families that
have been the beneficiaries. When insur-
ance money is most needed II is the
promptness with which il is received thai
makes it a double blessing.
During the current year the company
placed in operation Improvements in con-
nection with its policies. BY voluntary
concessions heretofore made the company
has paid to industrial policyholders to
date s17.5OO.00O. The total payments to
polcyholders in New Jersey alone by the
Prudential are more than $40 600, and
for all states and Canada nearly $780,
600 OOO.
