FORCES HAD. 0W|NDLED AT
 WARS END
Confronted by Allies in Proportion of Two to One-As Result of Demo- obligation Ratio, Now Eleven to One.

Washington, April S.-The central
 powers faced odds of greater than
 two to one in mobilized troops when Germany gave up the fight last No
 vember. The estimated aggregate strength of the enemy powers at.
 that time, according to official esti-
 mates made public today by General
 March chief of staff, was 7,63O,OOO. The indicated aggregate allied strength on the date was more than 1c, 100000. This situation is disclos- ed in the figures received by the war
 department from France giving the present status of the belligerent armies. They show that the central
 powers on March 1 had under arms 1,125,000 men while the allied forces
 aggregated 13,366, ,OOO.
 Following is General March's state
 ment:
 We have received from France
 some rather interesting figures about the demobilization of the central pow CTS, and the demobilization of the en- tire allied forces to include Febru- ary. The demobilization has been going on, of course since then but
 the figures show what has been hap
 pening over there. The central pow CTS figures are.
 Estimated By Feb strength reduced Nov. II to

 ''The total force of the Central Pow Fers on November II, was estimated at 7630 GOO This had heen reduced to include February, to 1,125,0OO. or to 15 per cent of their strength. On the same day on which this report was made, the strength of the allied forces was 13,366,000, or 75 per cent of the strength which they had on November H."
 Turning to the demobilization of the American army, General March said that the second anniversary of the entrance of the United States in- to the world war found the restora- tion of American manhood to civil life more than 40 per cent complete. On returns up to April the army had been reduced to an aggregate strength of 2,O55,71S For that force General March has set a mark of 210.0 900 discharges month toward which progress is being made Actual discharges up to and including April 5, aggregated 1,624,171 officers and men.
 Every state in the union' General March said. 'is welcoming it's return ing sons-the finest types of Ameri- can manhood, clean and virile and de- serving the thanks of the American people.

SCHOOL oPERETTA SUCCESS.

The presentation on Wednesday evening, April 9th, of the Operetta entitled "On Midsummer Day" by the children of the South Clifton School has set high standard for fu- ture school productions. Each of the singers is deserving of special mention and only limitation of space prevents our giving it.
 The details of the performance were carefully thought out. The cos tunes were most artistic, the group ings of the large chorus were effec- tive. The speaking parts were well done and, as is so often untrue of a children's performance, could with out exception, be heard.
 The choruses and solos of the Oper etta showed the fine progress the children are making along musical understanding and appreciation. The chorus of the Flowers, in the enter tainment, showed ability and careful training The little Fairies were very graceful and their fairy dresses lent an effective contrast to the whimsical Brownies. The Overall Boys and the Sun Bonnet Babes sang their little choruses in a most pleasing manner. The Sunbeams winding their pretty sunshine into the scene added another touch of air ness. The Butterflies and Honey bees were greeted with applause from the appreciative audience with each appearance, their yellow costumes adding much to the scenes in which they appeared
 Dorothy Danenhauer as the Fairy Queen, and Margaret Minson, as the child played their parts well. giv- ing the pretty story of the operetta to the hearers in creditable fashion.
 The production was under the di- rection of MT. K. R. Umfieet, musical director of the Clifton Schools, to whom great credit is due for it's success. as well as to his assistants, Mrs. Agnes Anderson and Miss Laura Daugherty. Miss Tuchock at the pi- ano accompanied the children's voices very successfully.

WOMAN RESCUES ANOTHER FROM
 WATERy GRAVE

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 5.-An at tempt at suicide by a 60-year-old wo- man who tried to end her life in the town ditch, Monday afternoon, was frustrated by the quicl: action of Mrs Laura Branch, 56 years of age. who saw the body floating down the canal in time to seize it by the hair of the head just as it was being drawn ul- der an S0-foot bridge. After the ,wo- man had been taken from the canal, she begged to be allowed to jump back in and complete the unfinished job.
 Mrs Branch, who lives on the cor 'ner of Third and Polk streets, was standing on the brink of the canal, which runs through her back yard, when she heard a loud splash from upstream. She saw nothing however but at that instant a man hurried frantically from a house, about 150 feet upstream. Again looking into the canal, Mrs Branch saw the body of a woman, who neither struggled or made outcry. being carried swiftly toward her by the stream.
 Both Mrs Branch and the man, who was. the husband of the drowning woman, rushed to the upper end of
  ness to save the woman. Both made grab for the body. but the suction caused by the water rushing under the bridge pulled the body down out of reach. But before the body disaD- peared under the bridge, feet fore most, the woman's head appeared on the surface. Mrs. Branch reached out and grasped her by the hair. The only thing that prevented Mrs. Branch from being dragged into the canal was the fact that she was wedged in tightly between a small wood shed and railing on the end of the bridge
 Many Futile Attempts.
 Several attempts failed to bring the body up to a point where others could assist Mrs. Branch in lifting it out of the water. The woman in the can al at one time reached out her hand and pressed it against her head. Mrs Branch shouted to the woman's hus- band to take hold of her hand, but be- fore these instructions could be car ried out, the hand was withdrawn.
 When the hand again appeared Mrs Branch loosened her hold with her hand on the bridge railing and grasp ed it. Then she pushed the body un- der the water as far as she could retcH anu WltH CremenuOuS eXeftlon Of strength, lifted it part way out of the water. holding it there until on- lockers relieved her of the burden.
 When the woman was taken from the water she began at once to talk and begged to be put back into the stream. She was not injured in the slightest and had apparently swal- lowed no water. She has suffered no ill effects from the bath, and last night was still being kept confined by her family to prevent a repition of the suicidal attempt.
