WAR LEAVES PRUSSIA
WITH SURPLUS WOMEN

BERLIN, Nov. THE war has left
Prussia with a surplus of women over
men. there being now it IS estimated,
1907 females for every 1000 males.
This, IT would be generally assumed,
corresponaingly diminshes women's
matrimonial prospects in Prussia.
DR.. Robert Bella, q government ex-
pert on vital statistics. expects, how
ever, an increase over the normal per-
cottages of marriages In Germany, con
tendiag that such increase Is a natural
consequence Of all vars. He SAYS that
wage earners generally marry mora
RAPIDLY than do others after the war
because OF the Improvement in their
economic condition due to their in
creased wages.
The number OF marriages IN Prussia
last year was about 100000 less than
look place In the last peace year when
there was . surplus of only five women

Washington, April 19.-Regulations
governing collection of the tax on adj

reau of internal revenue, define the
four classes which are exempt from
