Wosb;ngton, May 23.--Two impor- ..n+ steps were taken today toward .orfecting the task of putting the nation on a war basis.
 Soon after Provost Marshal Gen. orol Crowder had promulgated a drastic amendment to the. selective service regulations requiring every mon of draft age to work or fight af- tor July i, Secretary Baker appeared bofore the house military committee and asked that President Wilson be authorized to call to the colors all men of draft age who can be equipped and trained. The committee prompt lv and unanimously voted the author ity into the army appropriation bill about to be reported to the house.
 Under existing law power is given for one million fighting men in addi- ton to special units. This limit soon will be reached with men constantly going into camp to replace those sail ing for France as fast as ships can be provided to take them. With the law changed as the president desires, the man power of the country will be drawn upon for whatever force may be necessary to win the war.
 General Crowder's new regulation .is far reaching in scope and touches not only habitual idlers but also re- Qures that draft registrants now in occupations held to be non-useful seek new jobs or take their places in the army.
 Clerks in stores, walters, bartend- CTS, employees at places of amuse- nent, passenger elevator men and other employees around hotels, clubs and business buildings as we'll as gamblers, fortune tellers and race track and bucket shop attendants all fall among those classed as non-use- fully engaged Enforcement of the rules is expected to add some men to the army and to do a more important

GERMANS CHANGES
 GREATLY DECREASED
Prospects of Winning Are Much
 Less Now Than Before First
 Drive-FOch Has Made Pre- paratiOns to Meet New Blow.

On the French Front in France, May 23.-Uncertainty still exists as to when the Germans will renew their offensive and where their blow will fall, but wherever the interrupted bat tie is reopened the enemy will find various disadvantageous changes in the situation as compared with the first stage of the struggle that he be- gan March 21.
 For one thing, the German soldiers can hardly possess degree of conf- dence equal to that which inspired them at the opening of this years great drive, now that they have seen the failure of the promises made to them of decisive fight which was to bring rapid peace.
 Many of their best troops have been destroyed without the Germans ob- training any of their objective. This has depressed the spirits of the re- mainder, causing them to believe that further sacrifices may also be useless A repetition of a powerful surprise attack has been rendered almost inn possible, since the complete unity of the French, British and American troops enables the allied generalissi- mo to control the whole front.
 The allies are certainly better pre- pared than they were before and are watchful. Thus, although the German masses may be thrown against the allied front in heavy smashing blow at some point, the allied unity of com mand is counted upon to make pos sible an efficient intervention of forces at propitious moment to pre- vent any part of the line being over- whelmed. Losses of territory may be expected in the first rush, but that is unimportant so long as the armies continue intact.
 Data is plentiful concerning the density of the German armies holding the front line, but although at some places the enemy forces are stronger than at others, the locality where the real offensive will be launched is still left in doubt, as the operation is likely to be executed by other masses brought from the rear where they are concentrated. These may be trans ported with great rapidity to any part of the front, either iii Flanders or further south. The rapidity possible to the German transport is due to the enemy holding the interior lines.
 The commander in chief of the al lies has taken all precautions so that wherever the blow falls the enemy will find the French, British, Ameri- can and Belgians before him ready once more.

PLEDGES FOR WAR WORK FUND CAME
 DUE DECEMBER 2
H. C. Henrie, District Treas urer, Issues Statement Con- cerning First Pledge to Sol dier Fund

Date for the payment of the first pledges in the united war work cam paign passed on December 2. and many residents of the district have failed 10 meet these pledges. accord ing to the statement of H. C. Henrie. district treasurer. yesterday. While Q majority of those who have pledged payments have sought out the commit tees and made their deposits, MT. Hen rie states many have failed either 10 pay through the committees or through the other sources provided.
 When pledges were signed in the united war work campign the sub scriber contracted to pay one-half of the total subscribed on the first day of December, and the remaining sub scription in two installments to come at later dates early next year. Con- mitteemen and women who took pledges in many instances have been collecting them, but it is impossible for some of them to carry on this work. For this reason Mir. Henrie is calling attention to the passing of the date of pledge payment.
 Payment may be made to MT. Hen rie at the Copper Queen general of- fices, to J. c. Ryan, district chairman, at the Warren District Commercial club, in the Copper Queen hotel, or to any of the team captains or work CTS in the past campaign. All those who have not yet made their piedge payments are urged to report at once by Mir. Ryan and Mir. Henrie.

FIRST SALE DAY
 PROVES TO BE
 VERY SUCCESSFUL
Women Place Numerous w. s. s. Through Booths; More Than $34O, ,OOO Must Be Subscribed

Women of the Warren district.
 anxious to see this district and
 the county fulfill the quotas as-
 signed in the war savings stamp
 campaign, began yesterday morn
 ing concentrated campaign
 throughout the district to sell the
 remaining allotment. By evening
 they had succeeded in placing
 large number of stamps through
 the booths and sales desks estab-
 lished in all banks and postOffiCes
 of the district
 More than $34O. 900 remains to be subscribed in war savings stamps in the county. before the close of the year, according to a telegram received yesterday morning by J. c. Ryan, dis trict chairman, from H. R. Tritle. state chairman at Phoenix. The same tele- gram congratdlating Mir Ryan on the good work done for the w. $. s. cam paign in this district during the past month. The message follows:
 Congratulations on good work done in Cochise last month. War savings stamp total for county now S74S.000. The balance of the Cochise quota is S343, ,000. Please wire your plans to put the biggest county in the state over the top for the honor of Ari- zona."
 Much of the remaining quota of the county will have to be subscribed in this district, according to the state figures issued to Mir. Ryan, and a con centrated campaign among the friends of the w. s. s. for the remaining days of the year will have to ensue if the county is to have its total assignment absorbed at the close of 1918. Every resident of the district will have to take up the pledge made last spring. and many will have to add to their pledged totals to assure the county or it's entire assignment. Efforts will be made to pass the total assigned through continued work on the part of team captains and members who assisted in the pledge campaign.
 Residents of the district have been called on to complete their pledges before the close of this week. To as- sist them in this. women of the dis trict will be stationed in the banks and postoffice throughout today, where the stamps will be on sale. Ev- eryone is urged by Mir. Ryan, the chairman, to make final purchases of pledges before Saturday noon. With the pledges completed, Mir. Ryan be- lieves, it will then be possible to dis cover just what work must be done and how it can most easily be accomp- lished to gain the goal set for this county and this district in the W. s. s. campaign.
 We must all do our best declared MT. Ryan this morning to committee of workers. We must make sacrifices if necessary to purchase our pledged quota, and then each and every one of us must make additional sacrifices to absorb a portion of the remaining quota of the district yet to be raised. If everyone in the district will do this, if everyone will forego some little pleasure or luxury of the holidays to add to his or her collection Of war savings stamps, then this district and this county will go over the top

NURSES NEEDED
 ID ASSIST WITH
 INFLUENZA CASES
Pitiable Condition Exists in Many Homes in District Through Inability to Get Necessary Help
Have you had nursing experience?

Have you had nursing experience? Do you wish to play the part of the 1 Good Samaritan, right here in Bisbee? {? Volunteer nurses, who are willing to take care of influenza cases are leed- ed badly and at once, not in one home but in many in the Warren district This was the statement of Miss Esth- CT Cummings, secretary of the War ren District Relief association.
 In many homes conditions only to be characterized as pitiful have ob- tained during the present epidemic. A partial insight into the situation was given the public by the physicians of the district when they met with the city council a few nights ago. In not one but several instances the doctors said they had gone into homes where they found both parents in bed too i'll to assist their children, who also were ill., Appeals for nurses had been found vain and time and again the doc tors themselves had stopped long enough to straighten up furniture, clean up the house, attend to the im- mediate wants of the several patients and to give them food. But for the ministrations of the doctors. it is highly probable that deaths due to inattention and lack of care would have been multiplied.
 It is this condition that Miss Cum mings is anxious to alleviate insofar as possible. Anyone with the neces- sary experience, or who is without experience but wishes to help, should communicate with her at once.

Burglars and Liberty bonds have the same affinity that thieves and cash have for onas another Max Duckmeier, a resident of Lowell, is bemoaning this fact. He reported to the police yesterday that his home had been broken into and his trunk robbed. The thieves took a Liberty bond of $100 face value and $S5 in cash. Evidently the burglar wanted nothing that could be identified as he neglected to take a fine gold watch which was in the till of the trunk with the bond and cash.
