Receipt Of British morning war report
did not influenc" trading one way or the
other. International Paper was strong.
This was in direct reflection OF annual
report showing S%4 earned on the COM
mon. This surplus was not available
for common owing to the fact that back
dividends on preferred were paid off on
the REIMBURSEMENT plan. The fact that
the company had TO make small dip
into the surplus 10 pay off all the hack
dividends. There appear 10 ts excellent
prospects ahead for the common. Sur
plus earned on common stock In last
two years after allowing for the regular
per cent dividends IN thr preferred,
amounted to $50 q share.
John A. Topping. chairman Of the
board Of Republic Iron and Steel told

Women Will Try to Have Large American Cities Adopt One
 French Village Each

WASHINGTON Jan. 10-A few days ago a movement was started here hay ing for its object the rebuilding of French villages devastated by the war. Today the women of the national cap ital are enlisting in the enthusiastic support of the movement and will en- deayor to have the large cities of the United States each adopt and restore one of the many villages so destroyed.
 There is a strong appeal in the fact that the ruined villages belong to France, the country so closely knitted to the United States by historic ties and the country well loved by most ot the world The knowledge also that this work of creation must mean true appreciation of the French people Will aid the movement, it is thought.

 In accordance with ruling of Provost Marshal General you are instructed as follows: "In as much as no drawings have taken place in Alaska, and no order numbers have been assigned AL askan registrants and since com munications with local boards in Alaska are now practically closed, the provisions of the reg ulations relating to voluntary in- duction into military service and enlistment, in the navy or mar inc corps, of such registrants are not applicable.
 The following is, therefore, or dered to be effective until such time only as a drawing takes place in Alaska.

ALLIES READY FOR ENEMY'S
 BIG DRIVE
British and French Lines Are Believed Proof
 Against Attack

LONDON, Jan. 10-Despite the cold weather the extreme tension in the west continues. The generally expected Teuton blow may come any moment, and yet it may not come, belief is that it will be struck directly. rectly.
 The German big guns again pound ing the French lines with greater viz or. this time north of the Aisne Hea- " Teuton cannading is also re- ported from the Cambrai front. with intermittent bombardment in Flanders The British have held their own against the preliminary infantry strokes at Bulleeourt and at Ypres, their lines only being slightly dented.
 Front dispatches voice absolute con fdence that the Allies are able to meet Hindenburg's push. wherever it may be delivered and however powerful it may be. Initial German advances are discounted, but there prevails thoro conviction both here and in Paris that the foe will not break thru.
 The German newspapers contain lengthy accounts of the speech of Grand Admiral yon Tirpitz before the Hamburg branch Of the fatherland party. in which the admiral said:
 Up to the present in this war Great Britain has won rather than lost. Peace based on status quo ante or on renuneiation, therefore, is out of the question for Germany"
 Field Marshal Von Hindenburg is reported to be constantly shifting his attacks on the Western front, eFi- dently to keep covered the point where he intends to deliver the mighty offensive which the Germans boast and the Allies believe is coming in the very near future. Operations against the British in Flanders suddenly ceased during the last few days. and the enemy seems 10 have turned his attention to the French lines, especial ly along the CAemin des Danes, north of Aisne and east of Mont Cornillet, in the Champs gne region.
 Last week Von Hindenburg sudden ly ceased his onslaughts al Cambrai and began a series Of strong attacks against the British in Flanders. Now he is pounding the French front. While the big Hun is keeping up this war jockeying. large forces from the Russian fronts are believed to be re inforcing his armies in the West for the "big smash" the Germans tell us is ito end the war"
