number of men in the other divisions
of class one is very small.
General Crowder finds that the first
draft surpassed the highest expecta'
lions of the friends of the selective
service idea. He pays high tribute, not
only to the thousands Of civilians who
gave ungrudging service to making
the plan success, but also to the
high patriotism of the American peo-
pie as whole.
Few Evade Registration.
Analysing the first draft, General
Crowder shows that 9,5SG,5SS men be-
tween the ages of q and 81 years
registered themselves up to late in De-
cember, only $50 arrests had been
made of those who had sought to
evade registration and OF that number
o,263 were released after having reg
istered, and there remain only zoos
cases to be prosecuted. The report de-
clares that in the final analysis Of the
records it will be shown that only
0.00O2G per cent of the men within
draft age evaded registration.
There was evident some variation
of practice among the states on the
question OF eXempting married men.
A total Of 1921 Is married men have
been certified for service. In Mississ-
ippi tne boards held 50 per cent Of all
married men called for service: in
Wisconsin and North Dakota only
eight per cent were held After fur
Their study of the results it is expect
ed efforts will be made to unity the
practice of boards more closely in
this regard.
Montana in First Place.
Montana led among the states in
the number Of men called who filed
no claim for exemption. Figures for
that state show that eighty per cent
of men called up were ready to 60 to
the front Kentucky had the greatest
number of exemption claims. 50 per
cent of all men called filing affidavits.
The average number of claims was 4G
per cent.

London, Jan. 4.--Developmen in

Daily Chronicle says are likely to
cause the western powers to give de-

entente allied policy OF democratic
character, it adds, shortly will be sent

TIGHTEN YOUR BELT..
Compulsory Rationing Soon in Effect
In England.

London, Jan. 4 - Compulsory ra-
tfoning is to be put into effect in Eng
land at an early date, according to
Lord Rhondda, the food controller,
speaking at Silverton. He pre-.
faced his announcement by saying
that he was afraid that compulsory ra'
tioning would have to come, and that
it was on it's way, and then declared
that his department had completed a
scheme and that as soon as the sane
tio1, of the cabinet had been received
it would be carried out.
Lord Rhondda warned his hearers
that there would continue to be a
shortage, though the position would
improve, and improve steadily.
"There is nothing alarming in the
situation" he said. you have only to
tighten your belt. The people OF this
country are undergoing nothing like
the privations in Germany. There they
have less than pound of meat a
week" 1881 .f

GERMANS REPULSED.
Efforts to Gain West Bank Of Piave
Fails.

Fails. ..
Headquarters Of the Italian Army in
Northern Italy, Wednesday, Jan. q
The enemy today attempted to gain
the west bank of the Piave river, to
offset the loss of Zens0n, but was re-
pulsed, and the entire west bank now
is held by the Italians. A landing
party on flatboats attempted to cross
near Intestadura, but artillery and
machine gun fire concentrated on the
boats led to the abandonment of the
attempt. .. s.a ... -.
The general commanding the army
corps in the Zenson sector is receiving
high encomiums for the tactics which
brought about the rout Of the enemy
from the only nest they were able to
maintain on the west bank with heavy
enemy losses and virtually no Italian
loss. This general informed the cor
respondent, as mentioned in dispatch
forwarded on Christmas, that he
would not sacrifice his men by use
less frontal attacks against machine
guns, but would slowly wear out the
enemy by continuous concentrations
Of artillery on their positions IN the
bend OF the river.
Many doubted the generals ability
to carry this out, but his success on
Dec. 80 in clearing out the enemy and
saving his own men is meeting with
the highest praise.
The mountain front is comparative
ly inactive, the enemy giving chief at
tention to air raids, which continue
against Bassano, Treviso and Mestre,
near Venice, without notable damage
or casualties. The Italian and allied
air fleet is making vigorous reprisals,
bombing stations and troop columns
in movement. ....,
An impressive public funeral of the
victims of the Padua raids was attend
ed by the municipality and govern
ment officials and a huge concourse
OF people. The line of funeral cars,
with nineteen dead, stretched for
blocks. There were many weeping
women among those who crowded the
streets.

charlotte NJ. CraDIree. the former
actress, known at varying times in
her long and successful career as La

and as plain Lolita, who in the early
mining days of California was
showered with gold nuggets and later
amassed the greatest fortune ever
made on the stage, quietly cele-
brated her SEVENTEEN birthday ami
versafy a few days ago.
Born in New York City. in 1877, this
famed, brainy, clever little woman re-
tired from the stage about twenty
five years ago and now takes as
much fun out of life as she put into

days of her greatest successes.
With ample means, for her fortune
was years ago rated at five million
dollars, she is able to crafty every
wish and to live as her tastes direct.
Although she has for years kept a
stable of fine horses, she is still young
enough to keep pace with the times,
and not only owns several motor cars
but can handle them with skill her
self. In fact, she uses Il motor car
in her trips between Boston and her
country home, and takes h keen
relish in presiding at the steering

a friend once asked her why she
never married. and she replied

As child Lolita had natural ability

The actress retained her popular
ity to the end of her professional
career. which was brought to an
unexpected termination. She met
with an accident while playing in

recovery announced her permanent
retirement from the stage.

z13 less than the amount advanced in
1916, and over eight million dollars less
than the loans made in 1915. In addi-
ton to this decrease it is noteworthy
that the amount of outstanding loans
at the end of last year was less than
a year ago Education of policyhold-
ers. as to the reduction of their pro-
lection caused by policy loans, will re-

The New York Life, financially, is
the largest institution of it's kind in
the world, and the figures entering
into its annual statement are of such
magnitude as to cause wonder in the
mind of every person as to the trenlen-
dous benefits which will be conferred
upon the next and succeeding genera
tons through the medium of this sim
gle organization. The following fig
ures, showing the principal items of
the statement for last year, will give
some idea of the magnitude of the in
stitution:
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1918-02-10

$4,000. Assets increased at the rate
of S13S,1O7 per day.
Dividends paid to policyholders last
year, or refund of premiums, by the
New York Life reached the largest
amount in the history of the company,
being over s3,100.000 in excess of the
previous year, and it also exceeds by
many millions the amount paid by any
other company. For the present year
the New York Life has apportioned
over $26, 100000 for payment to its
policyholders, based on the same scale
as last year, so that in spite of the
increased cost of practically every
commodity life insurance costs less
each year.
The gains made by this company dur
ing 1917 have been partially alluded
to in the foregoing paragraphs, but a
more comprehensive idea of the growth
in single year may be obtained from
the following summation of the years
