ami his liability for service
wouA determined at the date of
his q nation.
Reg 1g citizenship, the Adj
jutant- Neneral is advised that a per-
son who was an alien on June is
not liable to service unless he should
become a citizen at later date.
Should he become a citizen before the
date of draft or declare his inten-
ton to become a citizen after the
date of registration and before the
date of draft, he would under the
terms of the Selective Draft Act, be
liable to service either as citizen or
as a declarant.
Smothered with questions about
every conceivable angle of the draft,
the Provost Marshal Generals Of
flee to-day announced that those in
doubt must query their local boards.
These boards, in turn, must ask
the Governor of their State and if
he can answer he will. Otherwise
he will send the question along to
the Provost Marshal General for
reply. The General, however, will
answer no question sent direct from
the local boards, nor will he pass on
individual requests which have not
been submitted to local boards.
The most frequent questions asked
are as to change in the place of
physical examination or exemption.
For instance, man living in Wash
ington but a citizen of another city
may want to be examined here. He
must apply to the local board having
present jurisdiction over him and say
where he wants to be examined, and
that board will determine his case.
AS for exemptions on agricultural
or industrial grounds, the applicants
case must go to the upper or dis
trict boards, though the lower or
local board passes originally on all
other kinds of exemption claims.

Young Girl Attacked
In Anderson Avenue
1|HsgI9||

Italian girl was attacked By Z man
somewhere along Anderson avenue in
Palisade. She was seen walking
along near the home of Miss Robin
son in state of great excitement.
She was crying bitterly, and when
Miss Robinson asked her what the
trouble was, she stated that she had
been attacked by man "back
yonder," who wanted her to go off
with him, and because she refused,
he tried to force her. She ran away,
and was on her way home when ac-
costed. Miss Robinson reported the
case to Herbert Middleton, and the
latter drove the girl to her home in
Palisades Park in his auto.

Editor of the "Palisadian:"
At the meeting of the Cliffside
Park Council last Monday night our
Mayor announced that the Council
had decided at a meeting held, no one
knows when nor where, not to in
crease the amount of the borough tax
for this year. This is certainly good
news, but, unfortunately, it is not the
whole story. The taxes for borough
purposes are not to be increased over
what they have been for the last
three years, namely $27,500, but the
borough budget is to be raised to
SAL 900, an increase of $13,5OO over
what it has been for the last three
years. On the top of this the Mayor
and Council on last Monday night re-
ceived bids for fire engine to cost
over $4,000. This will mean a total
expenditure for burough purposes
this year Of over $40, 100, an increase
of more than $21, 800 over the amount
raised for the last three years. This

Councilman Cohn, in announcing
the new figures, pointed out that the
new figures were drawn up some
time previous to the presenting of
the petition of protest and that the
figures published in the newspapers
were tentative and had never been
presented at regular meeting.

countries.

Central Powers to feed their people
this winter, there will be short
yields in Roumania this coming sea-
son, for reasons obvious to all.
If the war closes in 1917 or con-
tinues the nations will need grain
TO sustain their populations, and the
foreign demands upon the United
States yields will be more urgent
than in 1916 and for lar greater
quantities.
This country will carry no surplus
stock of wheat over the spring
months of 1917, as was the case in
1916, so that the earliest yields,
those of the States of Texas, Okla

acknowledgements by the Ger
man papers on the Entente reply to
the German peace proposal, as sent
by Reuters correspondent at Am
sterdam, indicate the universal con-
viction that peace now is impossible,
and that the Central Powers must
continue to prosecute the war with
the utmost vigor.
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger con-
siders that nobody will be shocked,
because the Entente's refusal was
anticipated.
But" ii adds. every one will be
surprised and shocked at the shall
lowness, levity and mendacity of the
reasons given for the refusal, and 1t

absolute No Who in the world
can now doubt that the Entente
plans, which aim at the dismember-
ment of Germany, Austria-Hungary
and Turkey, will be resolutely re-
PEELED by the German people?"
The Kreuz Zeitung says:
"The form of the Ententes rejec-
ton makes it an insult. Our reply
can only be given with the sword. "
The Vorwaerts says:
"Since our enemies desire to con-
tinue the war, no choice remains to
the German people. There will be
illusion that behind the refusal lies
the hope of finally being able to lay
Germany PROSTATE. 1t is to the in

A Lesson Here.

The toll of Christmas disaster
due to disregard of fire hazards in
creased by the family Christmas
tree is a heavy one. There is moth
ing to be done now to retrieve those
disasters, but the people might be-
gin the New Year with an effort to
reduce the fire waste all around.
Any insurance agent gladly will ad-
wise his or any others clients as to
the simple and easy methods of pro-
tecting oneself against needless loss.
Decrease in rates comes with reduc'
ton of the hazard, and decreased
rates mean decreased cost of living.
The American people must realize
that their dreadful habits of waste
cannot persist If real progress is to
be had.-[Louisville Times.

WORLD LOOKS
To United States For Wheat Sup
plies Between Now and 1913.

The cablegrams from Rome re-
port that the latest information
from the wheat crops of Argentina
indicate a total yield of but 10000
600 bushels for the present season,
as against double that quantity pro-
duced last season.
The wheat crop of Australia,
which natures in about the same
months as the Argentina crops, is
reported as indicating a yield of
125,OOO.OOO bushels, or about T.
100000 bushels greater than last
season.
The earle reports of heavy fall
ing off in the Argentine crop are
thus confirmed, and more than ever
the world must look to the United
