Paris. The Echo de Paris, referring
I to the distribution of enemy forces
'on the different fronts, says:
'On the Franco-British front there
have been for several months past 152
German divisions, of which 54 were
opposed by the British and the remain
der by the French. Following the re
cent British offensive at Cainbrui, this
proportion was modified. There are
now exactly 154 divisions on the
Franco-British front, each comprising
about 6.850 bayonets, and Including
artillery, engineers, etc., or about 12,
000 men In alL thus giving about 2,-
000,000 German combatants on the
Franco-British front
In view of the uncertainty of what
Russian anarchy baa in store for them,
the Germans have left about a million
men on the Busso-Roumanla front As
a matter of fact, the movements ef
fected have resulted not In a diminu
tion of the number of fighting units
on this front but in their quality.
"On the Italian front Germany has
sent to the assistance of the 45 Aus
trian divisions only seven divisions, or
about 100,000 men.

LATEST WAR MEASURE
Los Angeles, Cal. Conserva
tion of whiskers Is the latest
war-time measure advocated
here. If every man and youth
would refrain from getting a
haircut and shave for a month,
mathematicians figure something
like $5,000,000 would be saved In
labor, time, rent, electricity and
gas.
This, however, admittedly
would be hard on the barber and
the opposition of the ladles to a
month's growth of picturesque
hirsute adornments on benu and
husband Is insurmountable.
BETTER CLOTHES FOR TOMMY
Britain' Discharged Soldier to Get

Hereafter.
London. A long-standing grievance
of Tommy Atkins is to be remedied.
On discharge he was served out with
a suit of shoddy, described In the trade
as "reach me downs," a cheap tweed
cap and a muffler, the value being
fixed at $4.20.
A newspaper man who witnessed
the discharge of the men who fought
at Mons described the returning he
roes as looking like charity pension
ers. The press dealt with the complaint
and the war office amended the scheme
by substituting for the muffler a col
lar and a tie and suggesting greater
care in the fitting of individual suits.
Henceforth these men are to be re
leased for civilian life wearing suits

The Hague. The great "kaiser's
bell," whose sonorous voice many

BOARD TO ENROLL

THIS IS REGISTRATION WEEK
Purpose In Establishing Reserve la

ra Who pan Be Called on For 8r
vice In th Shipyard a They Are
Needed Need of the Nation Great,
8ay Chairman Hurley.
Washington, Feb. 13. The emer
gency fleet corporation, through state
council cf defense, will attempt this
week to enlist 250,000 or more skill
ed workmen In ltt shipyard volunteer
reserve.
The week has beou designated as
registration week in every state.
The purpose in establishing the re
serve s to create a body of skilled
workers who can be called on for ser
vice in the shipyards as they are
needed. Tho class of worker espe
cially sought are: Acetylene and elec
trical welders, asbestos workers,
blacksmith, anglesmlths, drop fore
men, flange turners, furnace men.
bollerniaUers,. riveters, reamers, car
penters, ship carpenters, dock build
ers, chlppers and calkers, electrical
worker, electricians, wtremen, crane
operators, fcundry workers, laborers,
loftsmen, template makers, machin

"The organisation," said Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board, "U to
be composed of workmen who are
willing to give a good day's work for
a good day' pay, workmen who are
not asked to sacrifice present posi
tions to ru6h madly off to the ship
yards which may not be able to ac
commodate them for the moment, but
who stand roady, when called upon,
to do a ),artlcular Job for a particular
wage In a particular place, and who
enroll themselves go that when need
ed they may be readily reached.
"The need of the nation 1 great.
The shipping board has the money,
the housing of men Is being arranged
for, the yards are being completed
and the materials provided. All that
now Is lacking is the spirit in the na
tion that will send the best and most
efficient mechanics Into the yards, but
not in a fashion to disrupt the busi
ness of the country through the rot
bing of present Industries. It is plan
ned to make a careful selection of
men whose places can be filled with
out hardship, and who when called
upon to give up the Job they now

nite positions at definite wages in
definite yards."
Illinois offlclaJs declared that the
elate can spare at lea&t 100,000 skillod
mechanics, although its quota is only
25,662 men.
ICE GORGE NEAR
CINCINNATI BREAKS
Danger ot Disastrous Flood Is
Averted.
Cincinnati, Feb. 13. With the
breaking of the great ice gorge at
Sugar creek the danger of a disas
trous food at this and adjacent
paints along the Ohio river was avert
ed, at least temporarily. The river
in the Cincinnati harbor fell two feet
during the first hour of receding.
Danger of a flood of major propor
tions became acute when the river
continued to rise at the rate of two
tenths of a foot an hour. While the
Sugar crsek gorge was expected to
break at almost any time, yet the
fact that this condition had existed
for the last several days made tho
river mon skeptical and warnings
were Issued unofficially to be pre
pared tor the worst.
Tho breaking of the gorge came as
a decided relief here, inasmuch as the
water already had inundated a large
area and was within a few feet of
places that would have paralyzed
railroad transportation and made use
less streetcar service In the lower'
part of the city.
Several of tho streetcar lines run
ning into the Kentucky cities of New
fort and Covington already had been
abandoned and ".t was only a question
of a few additional feet to put them
entirely out of commission.
American Dead 159.
London, Feb. 13. The American

and 14 additional bodies have just
been recovered.
