KEEPING GUARD LIN DUTY MEANS
 GREAT DEFICIT
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-Testify- ing before the house military com mittee recently Quartermaster Cen eral Sharp said that if the national guard were retained on the border at q strength of 75,000 men until June 20, 1917, the deficit would reach d total of $50,000,000. It was more than S25,O00,000 on october 1, and has in- creased in excess of $3,000,00O since that time, according to the figures presented today
 It is understood the strength of the guard retained on the border pending further development in the internp- tional situation would approximately be 75,000 men making Q tctal force of about 1I5.000. including regulars, compared with 100000 there few months ago.
 The supplemental estimate of $11,- l50.000 to maintain the guard during the fiscal year 1918 is understood to include provision for t!1e replacement of clothing and other property which the state soldiers brought with them into the federal service. The book keeping problem presented by de-mo- bilization of a considerable number of guardsmen has been a serious one It is army custom that discharged s0l- diers take their clothing with them, and presumably the de-mobiliZed reg iments will have to be re-outfitte1.

 Except in northern Dobrudja, where the troops of the central powers con tinue to drive the Russians and Ru manians towards Bessarabia, there has been little important activity on the battle fronts of Europe.
 The Russian troops in Dobrudia, Petrograd announces, were forced to retire northward under heavy attacks from numerically superior hostile forces. Berlin states that the Teutonic army in Dobrudja continues to advance successfully and announces the cap ture of 900 Russian soldiers. East of Lake Babadagh a Russian regiment, Petrograd records, drove q force of Bulgarians into Lake Ioolata. great many Bulgarians were drowned and l15 were made prisoners.
 The artillery bombardment continues at various points on the eastern front. Berlin reports increased activity, espe- cially in the Somme sector and on the east bank of the Mouse, in the Verdun region, the scene of the latest French advance.
 In Galicia, near the Zlochoff Tar nopol railroad, there has been a spir- ited engagement. Berlin reports the breaking of the advanced Russian line northwest of Xalostee, while Petro- grad says the Austro Germans were compelled to retire after occupying some trenches. Some fighting has taken place in the Trotus val ley, on the Maldovain frontier and along the Bystritz river in tie Car pathians. Fl Arish, ninety miles east of the Suez canal in Egypt, has been captured by British troops. The town had been occupied for two years by the Turks, who had built strong en- trenchments around it. The defenders fled from lsl Arish on the approach of the British army.

 HAVRE, Dec. 22.-Specific details of the deportations of Belgians refuting the reports from Berlin that only those without work were deported and if others were taken, it was the fault of the Belgian municipal authorities, were communicated to the Associated Press today by Fernand Passelecq. director of the documentary bureau of the Bel gian war ministry
 The German pretension that errors in judging the social condition of those deported were involuntary and impNt- ing them to the bad faith of the Bel gian authorities is entirely contrary to the facts" said M PasselecQ. Tt is to be noted in Governor General von Bliss ing's reply to the protest of the sena- tors and deputies, recently made pub lie that he did not dare to contest the facts concerning the arbitrary seizure of employed persons.
 At Quaregnon. in the coal region south of Mons, 5000 workmen were summoned and BOA deportcd, of which 227 never had been cut of work. At DOur 137 were taken, of whom IT. were working. At Washes 186 were de ported of whom 130 were working; at Frameries 200 were deported, of whom 130 were working; at Hornu 140 were deported, of whom g. were working; at Ghlin 156 were taken, of whom 46 were working. At Havre, Belgium. the mayor of the town offered to give proof concerning whether the men were employed or not. The proofs were re- fused.
 "Forty-siX men. all regularly en ploved at the Raume Marpek rolling mills at Haine St. Pierre. were taken.

 FL PASO, Tex, Dec. o. All Americans and other for eigners have left Torreon, which Villa is reported to be attacking, according to an American arriving here to- night from that district by way of Eagle Pass. The last of the foreigners, who inten- ded to remain as long as they dared. came out about a week ago, he said. On his way to the border the Amer ican passed eight troop trains, which were said to be destined for Torreon to rein force the garrison there. This garrison Is under the command of General Pala- nantes, and is composed of POGO Yaqui Indians, accord ing to the same authority.
 There has been a consider able increase in rebel activ- 
 ltles i'll north Central Mexico the past few weeks, the refugee said, including the capture of the large town of San Pedro, some miles to the east of Torreon on the rail way line to Monterey. A rebel leader named Salinas was credited with this ex- Iploit.
 Other passengers arriving here from central and lower central Mexico say that reb- els have made train service hazardous between Mexico City and Vera Cruz by de- raillng trains, although the reports of Puebla and Orizi- ba falling are untrue. Car ranza troops still hold Cuer- navaca, they said, but the Zapata guerillas make them selves felt at isolated spots. Bands sympathizing with Felix Dlaz were reported to be largely in control of the lsthnus of Tehuantepec.

 The verdict broke the iron nerve of the young defendant, who throughout the long trial had given no sign of emotion As the foreman of the jury announced the verdict, Teiper's strong frame seemed to crumble. His knees sagged and he would have fallen to the floor had he not been caught by a deputy. "Oh, my God he shrieked as he struggled to rise, this is not fair this is not human"

SUPREME COURT D|S|M|SSES PAR|
 NUTUEL APPEAL

The decision in the case of s. w. Mccall versus the state Of Arizona, better known as the Pari Mutuei case, was handed down yesterday by the supreme court The case came up on appeal from the superior court of Mariccpa county after Judge Stanford had Eeld that tfe operation of pari mutuel betting machines was unlaw ful. Judge Mccall of COchise county one of the most prominent horsemen in. the state, brought the machine to Phoenix during the 1915 fair, put it into operation one afternoon, was promptly arrested and has been fight ing the case eNer since.
 Every horseman and lover of sport in the state has been awaiting the decision with keen anticipation. Whether or not the decision will be satisfactory to them remains to be seen Judge Cunningham. who wrote the decision, holds that the operation of the pari mutuel machine in itself is not a crime, as the machine does not regulate to whom the bets are to be paid. the result nf the race decides that Neither is the man who oper- ates tie machine committing a crime, but whether or not the people who play the machines are gambling are committing a crime is not settled. Chief Justice Ross especially ccncurs in Justice Cunningham's decision, out Justice Franklin dissents. Tho aasn was removed to the superior court and instructions given to discharge the defendant
 I In speaking of the operation of the machine, Justice Cunningham says: "Certainly holding the stake is nos playing a game. Dividing the stake and paying it out to the several win ners is not playing a game. Holding a commission for the services ren- dered in the transaction is not play ing game. Neither can the furnish ing of the tickets be considered as playing a. game. Under the evidence the game played was the horse race. The bets were laid on the re- suit of that contest.
