 NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-WilIiam R. Wilcox announced tonight that he had resigned as chair man of the republican national committee to accept service on one of the federal war boards. His resignation will take effect February 12.
 MT. Willcox stated he was noti- fed by Secretary McAdoo to- night of his appointment as member of railroad wage com mission, which he had accepted. He then issued a statement in which he said:
 "The work to be undertaken by the commission is of such char acter, affecting as it does the income of hundreds of thousands of people, that it gives to the of flee a quasi judicial character. It is my feeling that no one serv- ing On this commission should be an official of any political party any more than he should hold an office were he elected to be a judge of any court. Having decided therefore, to accept the appointment on the wage com mission, shall in consequence of this acceptance resign the chairmanship of the republican national committee at the meet ing to be held in St. Louis on February 12.

DEVASTATION IN
 BELGIUM LEAVES
 MINE OWNERLESS
Continued on Page Two)

The ruin and devastation of Bel Eium and the despair of it's people, heard across an ocean and continent, was echoed yesterday in the Arizona state house in Phoenix, in the regu- lar course of state business. It was the story of a mine, the owners of which have been killed, impoverished, scattered or forced into involuntary servitude behind the German lines, all at the hand of the kaiser.
 Before the ruthless invasion of Belgium by the kaiser's ready and treaty ignoring armies, nearly four years ago, more than 5000 citizens of that country were stockholders in an Arizona mining company the ' Swansea Consolidated Gold and Cop per Mining company. Today scarcely a single stockholder can be found, and those who have been located have been reduced to utter poverty.
 This story was told yesterday in the offices of the state tax commis- sion by C. Q. Wittemore, secretary of the Swansea Lease, Incorporated, which company now is operating the Swansea Consolidated Gold and Cop per Mining company's mines.
 Mir Wittemore also is attorney for Senator William A. Clark, principal owner of the operating company. In company with F. E. Shaw, treasurer of the Swansea Lease, Incorporated, he appeared before the state tax con- mission for information regarding the proper method of making returns to the commission concerning the operations of the company for 1917.
 The Swansea mines are in the northern part of Yuma county, the company being made up of stock holders residing in the occupied DOT lions of Belgium. The leasing com pany is now operating the property on the basis of 50 per cent to the Belgian stockholders. But, according to Mir. Wittemore, the secretary oi the company. only three or four of the stockholders holding any con siderable amount of the stock car be found.
 Their efforts to find the stock holders have brought to light many terrible tales of hardship and terror some of them scarcely believable. 4 former president of the company was found to be in utter want. The ap- palling condition in which many ot the former wealthy stockholders wert found was told to the tax commission V. l was stated that probably many O. the stockholders never will be found
 Several years ago the mine was op. erated under a receiver, it was stated and returned good profits to the Bel gian owners. The mining property at present is being worked and de veloped in a systematic manner anC is making steady shipments of or' which goes to the Humboldt smelter The outlook is stated to be yer. promising, but it is a mine withou owners. thanks to the kaiser.
 In the operating company, tn Swansea Lease, Incorporated, ar ~ Charles w. Clark, son of Senate William A. Clark, J. Ross Clark, brother of the mining king, and sev cral others of equal prominence il the mining world.

 LONDON. Jan. 1S.-Addressing the final conference of the representa- tive of the trades unions effected by the man n-power bill which passed the house of commons last night. David Lloyd George, the British prime min ister today gave the governments reasons for the necessity of raising more men for the army and also referred at length to his own and the recent speech of President Wilson regarding the war aims of the entente allies and the United States.
 After thanking the representatives for the spirit in which they had met the government, the premier said there was no other alternative for | raising men. except either by rais- ing the military age or of sending wounded men back and back again to the firing line.
 As to the urgency of raising more men MT. Lloyd George said that he and his colleagues. who are on the watch tower, could not deny it and l that unless the need should be urg- ent they would not have brought for ward the demand now.
 There are men who thought ii should have been done before" said Mir Lloyd George. "Therc are men who believe we ought to do it on a. much more sweeping scale. There are a few who say we ought not to do it at all and there are some who say both things simultane-
