CITY Paws OF Old Bonds.

Tie city of Olympia redeemed
$4,000 more OF its bonds last Mon
day. the second payment made this
wear on the old bond debt. reducing
it to $4,000, and the first payments
ever made on the issue City Treas
urer Iona Smith reports that the
city is on cash basis, all warrants
being paid as presented. Her books
show only s2.3S022 i'll old warrants
outstanding. and il is estimated that
$4,000 OF these will never be pre-
scented, as they were issued in 1893
and 1894.

DRAFT
TO CLASS One
fRv Associated Press.A


Washington, Jan. S.-Provost
Marshal General CrOwder, reporting
to congress today on the progress Of
the draft, expresses Tor the first
time a definite promise and aim Of
the government not to take for army
duty any other men than those list
ed in class one Of the new draft
questionnaire.
This classification excludes married
men entirely, whose wives or
families are dependent on them for
support, and other men with de-
pendents. General Crowder does
this on the estimate that 100000
men physically fit for army duty will
be available from class one.
This number he thinks sufficient
for the present military needs Of the
nation, but to assure the future sup
ply for those needs he recommends
that men who have become FL years
old since June s, 1917. the first draft,
and who become Of age hereafter,
shall be added to class one as they
become available. This will insure,
the general estimates, q supply or
zoe, 900 men year.

Alsace-Loraine

David Starr Jordan in the Public.
 The people of Alsace and Lorraine were strongly opposed to war, because they realized what war would mean to them. Their hope was to become an equal self governing state within the German empire and through their dou- ble linguistics to form a bridge of friendship and understanding between two great nations. The hope is lost. There remains but one fair basis of settlement. The land of Alsace-Lor- raine belongs to the people of Alsace- Lorraine. As men without a country for half a century, they have made one of their own, as characteristic and as freedom-loving as its neighhor, Switzerland.
 Alsace-Lorraine should be set free as an independent state with full right to determine it's own future. A letter written by R. M. Bauer of Baden il

POSSESSION OF MERCHANT SHIPS
 WILL BE ASSET

Cardiff, Wales, January 1.-0Corre- spondepce of the Associated Press. )-The possession of a great merchant shipping Fleet will be the most powerful asset a nation can possess in the after-war pe- riod, according to Cardiff shipping men. From this point of view, it Is pointed out, the realization of the American ship building programme, combined with the United States resources in material needed by Europe, will make the United States an almost preponderant factor in world politics for many years after peace Is declared.
 The annual reports of the big Cardiff shipping companies, which have just been made public, all emphasize this post war importance of merchant ships. One company says:
 The demand for tonnage will be even greater in 1918 than it has been in 1917, and the utility of ships will enormous iy increase. But the economic world crisis will not reach it's climax until after the war
 If the law of supply and demand was allowed to operate ships might some day be worth their weight in gold to their owners. but in the present con- trolled state of trade their immense value as national assets really detracts from their value money making instruments.
 Ships are. and will continue for some- time to be, the most important factor of all In helping to preserve the lives of nations, and the states of Europe will not be likely to release their hold on shipping after the war until there are sufficient ships to ensure safety in re- gard to supplies of food and other es- sentials.''
 The same report cites the entry of America into the war as the element which made possible the practical uni versal control of shipping all over the world, asserting:
 The amazing task of bringing the worlds tonnage under control of the or ganization became only matter of time from the moment America came in.'
 Concerning the ruthless submarine war. the company says The many acts of lawlessness and cruelty which were sub sequently committed by German sub- marines against allied and neutral sea men alike, spreading death and disas- ter among innocent men, will forever remain one of the blackest chapters in the annals of the worlds shipping his tory"
