IS PER CENT
FROM CLASS |

Some of the registrants who had
been selected to make up the final
Is per cent of the first quota when
it was to have been called, may not
be sent to join the national army at
this time after all.
The government has decided that
the final Is per cent will be claSsl-
fed with all the other registrants and
the Is per cent made up from Class
(which in many cases excludes those
selected originally for the 15 per cent
The new order is as follows:
1T has been decided that there will
be no more formal calls for deferred
percentages of the present quota be-
fore February Is. While boards
should, until they have enough men
finally classified in Glass 1, send for
ward promptly men selected under
the old regulations to make up def
ciencies in calls already made, the
result of this decision will be that We
shall be able to give the benefit OF
the. new classification system to all
men whose order numbers are so late
as to place them within deferred per
centages of the present call. Calls
will, however, be made very shortly
under the provisions of Section 149
for the special class of men there
mentioned. For the sake of compoS-

had named "The Retreat"
His gardener, who was an old SOL

time by the colonel, was asked by the
latter what he thought of the place.
''Fine! But dinna like that" said
the old soldier, pointing to the name

"Why?" replied the colonel. "What's
The matter with it?"
''Weel, sir" replied the veteran,

Australia Prepares for Soldiers.

opment of various plans whilst many
practical steps have been taken by
individuals and communities toward
the formation of definite settlement
schemes, says a correspondent. The
state government of New South Wales
has set aside special areas for cultiva-
ton by returned soldiers. These eff
forts were supplemented by the gem
erosity of one landowner who gave a
tract of land amounting to thousands
of acres for that purpose. Australians
first need is population and the COM
monwealth will have an opportunity,
after the war, not only to supply her
own need but also to do q great serv-
ice to the labor market by affording
that "rOom for adjustment" which it
will need. The federal government
has already promised $10,OO0,OOO for
the work and has pledged itself to
raise an additional $150,O0O,0OO in the
future.

The long standing tradition is that
boys raised in the country are ever so
much more healthy and rugged and ca
pable of standing hardship than are
boys raised in the city with what are
presumed to be its unhygienic sur
roundings This tradition has been
rather rudely disturbed by a series of
experiences in the allied armies, where
under the stress of war the city boy
has almost as a rule proved harder
and braver soldier than his fellow
from the country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-What is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander, and the government viii
apply this iron-clad rule to itself.
tn the opinion OF the AIessrs. Lee
and J. J. Shupert, If theatrical pro-
ducers are obliged to close their
theaters at 10 O'Clock every night.
The Messrs. Shubert advance
me following argument.
EOr instance, in New York City
alone the Messrs. Shubert control
twenty-five theaters. The average
amount OF coal consumed By each
theater In a year totals less than
$4,000. For the twenty two thea
ters in New York this amounts to
about 500, 200. On the face Of it
this is a saving worth considering,
but on the other hand the govern
ment's war tax receipts for each
theater amounts to $4,000. This
sum multiplied by the twenty-five
theaters controlled by the Messrs.
ShUbert brings the governments
revenue TO 100000 a year.
Close the theaters at 10 o'clock
and the governments revenue will
be cut more than half Moreover,
it is even possible that many thea
trical producers will be forced TO
close their theaters entirely, bring
ing a total loss of revenue to the
government.
During the last two Liberty
loan campaigns many managers
have given their theaters to the
government for the use of Liberty
loan speakers. There viii be an
other loan issue next month. and
the theaters viii again be called
upon to give their services, their
stars and their theaters. If the
theaters are closed the Liberty loan
speakers will have 20 use soap
boxes, and soap box orators. even
when speaking in behalf of the go
vernment, are seldom favored with
large audiences.
