 The interest charge in 1914 was 1,0T, 100000 francs. At the end of 1917 NJ. Klotz, minister of finance, es- timated it at 4,725,OOOOOO francs.
 Pensions, based on the casualties reported up to end of the year arc estimated 7OO,OOO,OO0 francs annually.
 The interest charge will be in creased, it is expected, not only by loans already floated but by an in crease in the sums advanced by the Bank of France, which must event. ually be converted into loans at a higher rate.

Writing from Merrill, Wisconsin, to a friend in this city, Albert Kirk wood, a resident of Prescott, when following his trade of carpenter, has the following to say:
 You have been aware before this of the Tuscania horror, and may have seen the name of Billy" Wilton among the lost ones. We came to Arizona about two years ago, and he located at Williams to follow his trade as timberman. He joined the Forest Corps, being drafted at James, vile, and l was with him at the time. could not crawl under the same tent, as my age was above conscrip- ton, so we parted for the first time since my early boyhood. Now I am going into the regular army under the federal statutes governing enlist ments and this is my reason: To avenge his loss, even at the risk of my own life. His father and mine were like two brothers, and this firm fellowship was inherited by their two sons for each other. I am overjoyed at going and will enter the regular army, hoping to be assigned to a command soon to sail for France.

Held on Charge of Larceny
THREE FACES IN ORE
 IN THE BIG LEDGE MINES
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Late news from the Big Ledge mines, Henrietta and Butternut, state that two faces are in orc in the former mine, and one in the latter.
 The development work on the 800 1t. level of the Henrietta is looking particularly good The drift north from the Lc Due shaft was in 6S feet, and carrying a 3-foot breast of ore running $50 to the ton. The drift south from the shaft, on same vein, was carrying ore averaging S24 per ton. The consistency and excellent average values of this vein has been very conclusively proven at depth of l5O feet, and it will be recalled that the stump in the shaft, 40 feet below the 800 level, disclosed that width of ore and values are contin- ued there. Gold values may diminish to some extent with increasing depth, but increasing values of copper may be expected. The Henrietta origin ally was a gold mine, and the com ing in of copper values at increasing depth was what caused the old time gold operators to quit.
 The drift south from the shaft in the Buttcrnut was carrying a 5-foot face of ore running 31Hfb copper and } ounces silver to the ton, at last report

STEWARTS AGAIN
 SUSTAIN LOSS BY FIRE
(From Thursdays Daily)


 (. F. Stewart was an arrival yes terday from Williamson valley and brought news of the loss by fire on Sunday night of his range ranch home at the old Humphreys place six miles west, nothing whatever be- ing saved.
 The place was valued at about Sl, 800 and the contents were the accu- mutation of years. many family relics being therein. There was no insur- ance The fire was caused probably by a defective hue, and not until the person employed on the ranch re- turned at about 500 o'clock at night was 1t known that the fire had taken place. A big barn nearby, where was stored hay and grain, escaped, but was scorched.
 This is the third time in the past two years the Stewards have sus- tained heavy losses by fire, losing their home in Williamson valley and storchouse containing valuable property. and large amount of hay grain and other goods. Their neigh bor. J. H. Stephens, also has had two fires in recent months, and the frequency of these two families meet ing the inevitable in fires, is naturally occasioning wide comment. The Stewart place is to be rebuilt.

SILVER HISTORY IS

(Prom Fridays Daily.)

At the present time there seems to be prevailing more interest toward prospecting for silver mines than any other metal, and many new discov- cries arc taking place, indicating that the white metal still holds high ia vor for possibilities of quick returns.
 Yesterday another strike was re- ported by ]. H. Cross. of Crook can yon. who brought to the city sam plcs that attracted comment for the high grade content. He made the discovery near his gold holdings. wkicii arc under option, and ascer- taincd the bonanza content of the ore by placing the batch in a forge and submitting it to a semi-smelting proc ess of treatment He stated the vein IS about three feet wide, but actual tonnage values will nor be known until after assays are made.

CUTTING SCRAPE
 FOLLOWS ROW OVER LOAN
(FIom Fridays Daily.)

Following an altercation over some money which had been bor- rowed, Murdock Campbell, age 40, was stabbed in the abdomen yester- day evening by ]. A. Brewer, the cutting affray taking place in front of the Bashford- Burmister store on West Gurley street at 7:30 o'clock. Campbell was removed to the Mercy hospital and is receiving surgical at tention, while Brewer is being held in the county jail.
 Both men worked for the Santa Fe in the local shops, and Campbell is said to have borrowed small sum of money from Brewer The men met last night and Brewer asked for the money An argument started, and shortly afterwards Brewer pulled his pocket knife out and drove the blade into Campbell at a point near the navel. Following the cutting, Brewer managed to get away to his boarding house near the railroad tracks, and was arrested there half an hour later by Undersheriff Robin son

retired and replaced by a perpetual loan involving further charge of l20,0O0,0O0 a year.
 Short term national defense bonds, of which there are now outstanding about 24,0WO00 francs will also be converted into bonds at a somewhat higher rate adding perhaps 50,000,O0O more.
 The balance of the estimated in- crease in the interest charge is made up of 500000,G00 interest on tine ten billions required to repair war dam ages and 5OO.OOO,OO0 more on a fresh loan of 10 billions.
 For each additional year of war, about 3OOO,O0OO00 francs must be added to the budget to care for the added war debt. If the war ends within year, the amount France will have to raise each year will be in the neighborhood of l7,000,OOO,OOO francs, according to present estimate. That amount is susceptible, however to i'm portant reductions. For example, the national defense item will depend upon the measure of success obtained in the constitution of the Society of Nations.

HCME OIL COMPANY TO
 SOON HAVE BIG DERRICK
(From Fridays Daily.)

C. s. Hogan, president of the Home Oil Company of this city, noti- fled the company officials on Wednes- day that while in Los Angeles he had purchased the timber for the con- struction of a standard S4-foot oil derrick, and that the lumber was to be forwarded to the company's prop erty in the Chino fields the follow ing day. The organization is getting together one of the most elaborate drilling outfits ever used in the west, and will shortly be in a position to start sinking.
 The company's holdings are in Section l6. one of the most favored parts of the Chino held, and several of the well-known oil experts who have made an examination of the district are almost certain that pe- troleum will be encountered in Sec ton 10. More than S,OO0 in cash has been raised during the past few weeks, and this amount IS now on hand to be spent in actual develop ment work. In fact the company's permit from the State corporation commission provided that 6635 cents out of every dollar must go into de- velopment. and with this fact in mind, the organization IS putting its money into the ground with an honest inten- ton of ascertaining whether or not there is oil in commercial quantities in the Chino field.

TIME STILL LEFT TO
 TAKE OUT INSURANCE

PHOENIX, March 6-The Coun- cil of National Defense urges upon the Arizona council the necessity of clearly putting before the public the fact that soldiers, sailors and nurses who enlisted before December l3, 1917, have until April l2, 1918, to file application for insurance. Those enlisted since December l3 will still have l20 days in which to apply. All automatic insurance has ceased. The three quarters of million men who have not taken out insurance now are wholly unprotected. It is asked that all relatives and friends write their soldier connections urging that insurance be taken out if this has not alreacdy been done.
 Arizona, as represented at Camp Kearny and Camp Funston, already has done very we'll. The Arizona field artillery regiment at the latter post, has taken insurance to the very last man, Colonel Yule even tcle- graphing to absentees to assure a 100 per cent rating. The National Guard regiment at Camp Kearny ex- pected to leave for France very soon, is understood to have come within one per cent of complete insurance. But hundreds of Arizona men are still unreported, namely those who have enlisted in the regulars or in the navy or have gone as volunteers into the special service organizations.
 Within five working days, the Military and Naval Division of the Bureau of War Risk insurance re- ceived ll7,967 applications, repre- senting S925 5,330,00O of insurance The first certificate written was to Ser geant L.

VERDICT OF JURY FREES CHURCH
 AND P|TTMAN
AFTER LONG DELIBERA- TON, ALLEGED BOOZE IMPORTERS OF CLARK DALE ARE FOUND TO BE INNOCENT.
(From Fridays Daily.)

A. F. Pittman and Charles Church were yesterday morning acquitted of the charge of bootlegg;ng for which they had been on trial in the Superior court here for the past two days, the jury returning a verdict of not guilty at 10 o'clock in the morning. The trial was begun on Monday morning and the case was placed in the hands of the jury at five o'clock on We'd ncsday evening. All of the evidence introduced by the State was of a purely circumstantial character, and for this reason, apparently, the jury failed to fasten the booze inporta- ton crime upon the accused. The State fell down in its attempt to es- tablish the fact that the footprints found in the vicinity of the liquor cache were made by Church and Pitt man, and aside from the fact that Pittman's auto contained tires which made tracks similar 70 the ones found near the booze deposit, little other evidence was presented which was damaging to the men. Church had been in jail since December 10, and Pittman had been able to secure bond and avoid being locked up.

ALL CHILDREN IN STATE
 MUST BE VACCINATED

PHOENIX, March 7.-All school children of Arizona must be imme- diately vaccinated or show a satis- factory scar, according to an order issued by the state board of health Dr. w. O. Sweek, chairman, at noon today.
 That the order is to be rigidly en- forced was the statement made by Dr. Sweck this afternoon. No alter native is afforded for the school chil- dren of the State-they must either submit to the vaccination, show a scar or leave school. q.
 Under the ruling by the State board Of health, certificates will not be acceptable as an evidence of a sat isfactory scar. Each child must un- dergo examination and be able to show a scar that is regarded satis- factory by the examining physician. In the event that such a scar cannot be shown, the pupil must submit to vaccination.
 The order is effective immediately, but reasonable length of time will be allowed by the board to permit the students to comply with the order.
 pr. Sweek is urging the vaccina- ton of all persons as a war measure and believes that the State board of health will be upheld in its ruling by the federal authorities. State Super intendent of Instruction Case and the city and county physicians are said 10 be in accord with the order.

sary skilled men. is not under pres cnt conditions in a position to turn ont that tonnage. The shipping board has the money. 1t has the yards and the material. The hous- ing question is being rapidly cleared up and all that is needed is to obtain the necessary efficient labor. Mir. Hurley states that it should be brought home to employers and to the employees of the industries of the nation that their own future depends on the construction of these ships.
 The fact is that the recent order issued by Fuel Administrator Gar field, closing the factories of the whole country, and the more recent freight embargo issued by Secretary McAdoo, tying up all the freight with the exception of food and fuel, came not because of falling down on the part of the carriers them selves, but because of the lack of ships. The reason for this is plain. The speeding up of the American factories piled in the eastern sea ports and packed into every railway siding outside of the seaboard cities, thousands of loaded cars of materials for the war zone. The result was that even the coal required for the ships in harbors could not get through, and even the few ships which we now possess were held in harbor by empty bunkers and could not sail Until the United States has ships to clear the Atlantic port Of manufactured goods, for which our army in France and our Allies are in need, these enforced holidays and embargocs must recur, with the re- suit that no factory in America can be assured of running full time and no workman can count on contin- uous employment.
 Chairman Hurley makes this state ment: "On labor depends the con struction of the needed ships and on these ships depend not only the war itself, but the present Industrial life of the nation"
 Men are enrolling throughout Yavapai county for this work, and the office of the Chamber of Com merce is open for men to inform themselves regarding this important matter. Special registrars have been appointed in all of the towns of the county and when the final count is made, there is every reason to be- lieve that Yavapai will have regis tered her necessary quota of men.

Judge Sweeney was soon convinced that the supply of whisky was brought to the laundry by other persons than Carter, and that an attempt had been made to saddle the blame on the negro, and the latter was dis missed.
 Divorce Decisions Rendered
 Judge Sweeney, who has for the past few weeks had a couple of di- vorce cases under advisement, yes- terday announced that he had decided to grant a decree to Samuel Newton, who had asked a separation from his wife Carrie. The defendant was ac- cused of adultery in the complaint filed by her husband, and Judge Sweeney found that the plaintiff had substantiated all of his allegations.
 Mrs. Minnie LaJucncsse was given divorce from Francis LaJuenesse and the cross-complaint filed by the defendant was ordered dismissed. Mrs. LaJuenesse is to have custody of one of the children, Jean, and the father is to have the care of Ruth and Byron. The matter of the plac- ing of the children was but a tenn porary order, and the court may make different arrangements any time that it is deemed advisable.
