USE SENSE AND SYMPATHY IN
 EXEMPTIONS

Washington, Dec. 31.-Local draft boards have been instructed, bv Pro- vost Marshal General CrowGer, to use common sense and sympathy in the facts Of each individual case in determining what would i.e adequate support for dependents of, {. man registered for war service.
 May boards have indivared douht as to what should be done when it appears ttat a soldiers pay and war risk allowance will provide support for dependents whose clcims other wise would entitle the re5istrl1t to deferred classification. ID mes sage, made public tonight, General Crcwder said:

 To clear up doubt existing on other points, General Crowder gave the following supplementary instruc- | tions:
 First, subdivision A, class four, | is the residuary closs for registrants whose wives or children are mainly | dependent on them for support, and this applies to widower whose own children are mainly dependent upon him for support.
 Second, if a. registrant has both a wife and child, but there are such other sources of support available | that the removal of the registrant will not deprive the dependents of reason ably adequate support; he is to be placed in subdivision A, of class two
 Third, if a registrant has a' wife but no children and there are such other sources of support available that the removal of the registrant will Rot l deprive the wife of reasonably ade ! quate support, he goes into class one as not being included in any other di vision of the schedule.

Caused Sub to Disappear.

A naturalist correspondent narrates d queer war adventure he had with a menagerie recently. Elephants, par rots. monkeys, pair of. leopards and some antelopes were slowed on a biz steamship which two torpedos luckily missed. But the vessel had a gun. and 1t went of. So, as 1t were, did the menagerie. You may not believe all this naturalist says, any more than the tales of an angler or a golfer; you may refuse to accept the showers of eggs from the frightened parrots, or that the leopards changed their spots, which are now of a decided paler hue, says an exchange. But from his amused horror about 1t, there Is no doubt that the menagerie went mad, and that-though the ships gunners may deny 1t as cause.-the German U-boat disappeared. The elephants trumpeted, and kept 1t up, and the big cats, monkeys and parrots made a noise Hike f1ends coming up for the crown prince"

PLANS AHEAD FOR SHELTER NEAR
 TUCSON

TUCSON, Dec. 31. Plans for erec- tion of a new custom smelter here are going ahead satisfactorily. Ac- quirement of this plant and the oper ation on a larger scale during next year of the present managers and oth- CT rare metal reduction plant of the Randolph interests will give to the city, with which the Sasco plant o f the A. S. & R. is also identified, a much increased degree of imporance as an ore reducintg center.
 The proximity of the proposed new plant to several localities which have heretofore been prevented from ship ping ore except under the prevalence of exceptionally high metal prices will enable Pima county to probably materially increase both its produc- ton of metal and it's development ac- tivities.
 Custom smelting conduct as follow ed by Sasco, Hayden, Humboldt and other plans in Arizona has been productive of great deal of expan- sion in profitable metal mining by small operators in Arizona. These custom plans have made it point, as have other buyers, to thoroughly examine all new territory which has come within the radius of plants and to com mpetently advise operators as to the grades of their ore that they could mne and ship with profit. In con- 1 sequence small operators have been able to build up their shipping and to avoid a great deal of expensive dis | couragement that would have attend l ed random shipping At the same time l there has been highly valuable direc- | ton gwen to research in country sur rounding the successful shippers. Of | the latter there are at the present | time more than two hundred in the | state, from whom practically no con- | Dlaint is ever heard as to smelter accommodations or treatment. The little complaint that is heard is gen. erally traceable to properties upon which development has not advanced | to a stage that will permit of the shipping of an average of ore consist ent with ruling market prices for the l metal That the new Tucson smelteT management upon making contracts for the treatment of ore will follow the wise and helpful advisory policy Of the older custom plants, is under
 stood and much is anticipated in at
 tendant good results.
 Establishment of this enterprise hy
 private capital represents a further
 lessening of need for the establish
 ment of state shelter and draws al
 tention strongly again to one of the
 main points of objection raised b!
 mining men to the state smelter plaI
 this being that no matter where {
 large state plan migh be located it:
 usefulness would be limited by tht
 distance it might be from the source of ore. Thus the new Tucson plan will be helpful to a prescribed are; from which shipments can be mad, to it without the value of the ore being eaten up by freight.

 In the direction of Soissons read iustment of the front line also be- came necessary. in consequence of the falling back of the center where the Germans were pushing hardest

Seemingly Rheims, like Soiss0ns, nlso is doomed to fall into the hands of the enemy, as the French war office reports that the troops covering the famous cathedral town, which almost daily for sev- eraI years has been the target for shells of hate from the German suns. have been withdrawn behind the Aisne canal northwest of the town.
 On the sector directly southeast of SOissons the Germans now are lighting relatively 12 miles from where they started their drive Monday from yauxaiil0n, while further east near Loupeisne, and in the center in the vicinity of Savigny, wedges have been driven into depth of approximately lJ miles.
 The Germans continually are throwing fresh divisions into the battle hut the British md French troops are keeping up their tactics of giving ground only when 1t is impossible longer to hold pO- sitions under the tremendous pressure of the enemy. Heavy casualties are being suffered by the army of the German crown prince. while the lOsses~ of men to the allied forces are described as relatively light.
 Although unofficial reports hnye mentioned the rushing up of re- Inducements from the south, there hns as yet been no official state ment that General Foch is sending in his reserves.
 Of almost as great interest ms the Aisne battle is the situation around the little town of Cantigny. where the Americans made il not-

abIe gain in their first "sOIo" ntfnck against the Germans Tues day. Numerous counter attacks have been launched ngninst the Americans holding Cantigny and the outlying positions but all of them have met with the same re- sult--fniIure and the loss of many men killed or wounded. Evidently thc Americans are prepared to dis- rute to the last degree their oc- cupancy of the high ground they have won overlooking the plateau east of Cantigny.
 ITnstinted praise hns been showered upon the Americans by the military officers for the dash and daring they showed when they left their trenches and started out in quest of their objcctives.
 Still another defeat has been in- fiicted on the enemy by the Americans--this time far to the east. in the TouI sector. Here the Germans let loose large quantities of gns near Bremenil and delivered an attack. which the Americans shot to pieces with machine gums. Inter. on another sector, under q heavy barrage fire, II Germans managed to invade an American trench. None of them returned. In hand-to-hand fighting nine of the Germans were killed outright and one died later from hIs wounds. The other four were captives.

ALLIES THOUGHT IT USELESS
 TO SACRIFICE DEFENDERS

The Germans followed the allies across the river and at the same tiiiie spread along the sides, the allles nav ing decided that it was useless to sac rifice men in efforts to hold these po- sitions with too few defenders
 The southern slopes of the Aisne valley offered good ground to the al lies to stand, had they been Tn suili- cient force But the Germans were in immensely superior numbers, and the allied commanders chose to retire to the plateaux beyond and thus give an opportunity for the reserves to con centrate It is probable that, before the advancing German torrent weak : ems, further territory will fall into the hands of the enemy. That. how ever, in the opinion of French officers, will not affect the strength of the all lied forces. which retain their striking power for the future
 The French and British kept in the closest touch throughout the battle working together as single unit. The spirit of comradeship was touching. Both in the ranks and along the roads wounded men of both nations, when able to walk were helping each other toward the dressing stations, while ali the soldiers indiscriminately gave aid, when possible, to the civilian refu- gees.
 The reserves are moving, proceed ing toward points where they can op- pose the German rush. Among the all lied troops of whatever nationality despite their lost positions confidence is great that the desperate effort of the Germans will not succeed in in- flicting more than a glancing blow on the allied forces and that the present situation is only temporary.
