Post office authorities at Washington
issued a regulation yesterday stating
that all parcel post papkages that are
to be re-mailed with the same outer
case or wrapping must have all pre-
vious stamps removed before the lo-
cal'post office officials will accept it for
mailing.
This new regulation applies partic-
ularly to laundry boxes which are used
so extensively in Ann Arbor. About
1,000 of these are mailed weekly. The
government has lost a large amount
of postage due to the confusion of the
stamps on the remailed boxes. This
ordinance is to take effect immedi-
ately.

EFFICIENT WORK BY MEDICAL
CORPS KEEPS DISEASE
RATE LOW
Statistics just made public by Gen-
eral March show that America's battle
death rate during the great war ex-
ceeded her disease death rate, and was
far greater than that of any previous
American conflict. The reduction of
the percentage"of deaths from disease
was due largely to innoculation and
efficient work by the medical corps.
Flu Epidemic Boosts Figures
Our battle death rate, for the en-
tire army during this war was 20 per
1000 per year, while that of the epe-
ditionary forces alone was 57 per 1000
per year. On the other hand the dis-
ease death rate was but 17 per 1000
per year in the expeditionary forces
and 16 per 1,000 per year among the
home forces. Even this comparatively
small proportion might have been cut
in half were it not for the "flu" epi-
demic. according to the medical corps.
Disease Leads L Former Wars
An idea of the comparative per-
centage of deaths from actual com-
bat and from disease may be gained
from the following table of fatalities
sustained in American wars since that
of 1812.
These figures representtthe death
rate per thousand:
War Battle D~isease
Mexican War .........15.....110
Civil War (North) ......33....... 65
Spanish War...........5......26
Present, War (A. E F.)..57....... 17
The War department has also re-
cently published a list of men fur-
nished the army by each state. Mivh-
igan ranks sixth in this list, having
supplied 135,485 men.
Draft Great Undertaking
Provost Marshal General Enoch H.
Crowder has also completed his re-
port on the draft. The task which
his organization has completed was gi-
gantic. A selected army of 2,800,000
was mobilized, 1,000,000 of them in 90
days, and 2,000,000 additional men
were available for duty.
In order to accomplish this feat
some 24,000,000 U. S. citizens were reg-
istered, examined, and their fitness
for military duty decided upon. To ac-
complish this feat a veritable army in
itself was required, the personnel of
the draft organization including over
192,000 men and women. General
Crowder expressed complete satisfac-
tion with the efficient work of his
jaides.
AT'1 f, MAJESTIC
Maurice Touneur's "Sporting Life"
is to comb to the Majestic Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday, this week. This
picture is the old type melodrama con-
cerning an English earl who, harassed
by debt, conceives two plans by which
he can replenish his fortune. He plac-
es two bets, one upon Joe Lee, a gypsyj
boxer, and the other upon his horse,!
Lady Love. His sworn enemy, De
Cateret, determines to ruin the earl by
frustrating both chances. The action
which follows is very swift, especially
in the scene of, the boxing match when
the enemies of the earl drug his can-
didate and the earl himself takes the
place in the ring and comes out vic-
torious.
Today and Wednesday Peggy Hy-
land in "Caught in the Act" is the at-
traction. This is a comedy farce of
society life in which Miss Hyland dis-
plays some of the latest styles in
A
R
clothes.

SIUBERT-GARRICK
"Adam and Eve," a new musical
comedy by Guy Bolton and George
Middleton has its first showing at the
Shubert-Garrick the week beginning
Feb. 17. The production is under the
direction of F. Ray Comstock, who a
little earlier in the season brought to
Detroit "Ask Dad," which is now play-
ing in New York under the title "O,
My Dear." The cast includes Ruth
Shepley, Otto Kruger, Courtenay
Foote, and William B. Mack.
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE ON TifE
CAMPUS
Detroit is to have a return engage-
ment of "Seven Days' Leave," which
was seen in Ann Arbor several weeks
ago. The third act of this melodrama
displays the fighting floor of a man-of-
war, pitching and tossing on the
stormy waters of the submarine in-
fested English channel. The scene is
designed to give the observer the im-
pressiop that he himself stands on the
wind swept deck. Many tricks of light-
