RELEASE
FROM ARMY ASKED

Speedier rehabilitation of the Army,
both abroad and at home, than is being
provided by the War Department is
agitated by a considerable number of
members of Congress today. They are
not satisfied with the rate of demob-
ilization Of the men in the army camps
in this country-men who are needed
in their homes and in the old jobs at
which they worked before they volun-
teered or were drafted.
eff the War Department does not
speed up the rehabilitation" said a
member of the House military affairs
committee today, Congress will take
ure which will compel speedy demob-
ilization. Most of the men in the army
camps can have their old jobs as soon
as they return home, and the indus
tries of the country which need men
will absorb the others. There are
thousands of young men who are be-
ing seriously inconvenienced and are
suffering losses because they cannot
return to civil life. With the war at
an end they should be mustered out
without further delay

It is proposed that the army of oc-

enlist in such an army for the next
year, or however long it is necessary
to maintain an army in Europe.

Presidents Response.

In response to the mayors address
President Wilson said:
Il feel that I have been peculiarly
honored in the generous reception you
have given me, and it is the mort
delightful because it so obviously
comes from the heart And I cannot
but believe that 1t is an instructive
response to the feeling that is in my
own breast, because think that even
you, who feel contact with our
soldiers, cannot but realize the depth
and sincerity Of the feeling of the
United States for France.
'1t is an ancient friendship, but 1t
has been renewed and has taken on
a new youth. 1t is a friendship which
is not only tentative, but one based
upon a communion Of principle.
~You have spoken very generously
and beautifully Of the relations which
have sprung up between yourselves
and our soldiers. That Is because
they came not only to associate
themselves with you as the cham
pion Of liberty. but they came with
personal affections in their hearts for
the people Of France. and It must
have been that which you realized.

Mr.. Beeler Presents Figures.

Figures are presented by Mr.. Beeler
in support of his conclusion that in
tercompany transfers will not affect
materially the financial interests of
the companies. At five of the transfer
points recommended paid intercom-
pany transfers now are in effect, he
points out. These intersections are
18th street and Columbia road, 7th
street and Florida avenue, Wisconsin
avenue and NJ street, 14th street and
Pennsylvania avenue and 18th and G
streets.
Based on the receipts of both COM
panies from transfer passengers at
these points in the first eight months
of the current year, statement is
presented by Mr.. Beeler showing that,
il the paid transfers were replaced by
free transfers, the same volume of
business continuing, the loss in rev.
enue to the Capital Traction Company
would be $4.4S9.16, and to the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company,
At the other transfer points recon-
mended where a long haul is involved,
no data are available to show the num-
Der of persons paying a double fare in
order to ride on the lines Of both COM
panies, But Mr.. Beeler, in his calcula-
lions as to loss In revenue, assumes that
the average number OF persons paying
two fares at the other points is the same
as the average number for the five inter-
sections mentioned, namely, 147,072 per
year.

mate, as five of these seven points are
so located that the heavy lines of travel

President Is E'Choked Up"
When 10000 Trained Yanks
March in Splendid Review

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, EN- ROUTE TO
CALAIS. December 26 (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-President Wilson left
Chaumont for England late yesterday
afternoon feeling more strongly than
ever the magnificent part American
soldiers took in winning the war.
Yesterdays review, in which 10000
American soldiers marched before
him, created deep impression upon
the President quite apart from the
historic significance of reviewing
fighting men on foreign soil for the
first time.
When addressing his troops as rel
low countrymen'' he told them that ne
believed he could promise them
happy New Year.
This was considered the keynote OF
the address, and friends about WI.
Wilson construed his words TO NEAL
that he was beginning to see the way
more clearly toward the attainment
of the detectives he has set for nlm-
self at the peace conference.
Await Speech in Britain.
At least one very important address
may be expected from the Presldene
while he is in England. 1t may define
his line of thought more clearly on IS
sues in which Great Britain is so
deeply interested. He will take op-
portunity to do this in the course OF
conferences he will hold with premier
Lloyd George, A. J. Balfour, secretary
of state for foreign affairs, and An
drew Bonar Law, chancellor of the
exchequer, but whatever public speech
he will make will be, of course, In e1-

pie who dined at Fenger's thought

and more than one familiar youth.

Nevertheless. Mary Lou had

as ever decked a Valentine. But 1t

She did not want to look, but she
could not help it. There seemed to
be something familiar about him, as
though she had seen him in dreams
or in some vague past. Also. there
was something about him that
warmed something in her heart. The
soldier glanced up and saw her
looking. he saw her look quickly

Sunday Newspaper Advertising

years ago he called on Mr..

who lived at New Rochelle,
and asked him what was the

they were very hard to get

men securing Europe to find
them. Tammen said in that

The Sunday newspaper offers
the best departmental appeal.
For advertising of especial in
terest TO women, there is the
wOmen's section. with its society
news. club notes. dress and do
nestle articles-surely read by
every woman. FOR advertising
addressed particularly to young
men there is the sporting sec
ton. with the news amplified in
detail as in no other publica-
ton. For advertising OF COM
mon interest TO both men and
women, the telegraphic and
local news sections are Of i'm
mediate and certain appeal.
The sunday newspaper sells
advertising space at the lowest
rate of any publication. The
magazine or periodical carries
an advertisement into the home
at from one-fOurth TO One-half
OF a cent per line per thousand
OF circulation. The sunday
paper at from one-eiShth TO
one-ffteenth OF a cent per thou

only medium which covers its
city and surrounding territory
completely. and in this IL is on
surprising value.
ANY one OF these two accom-

Using rate: together. they are

There are some objections
raised against sunday news
papers which can be easily an
Swered One objection is. The
paper is so large. True-but
the part the national advertiser
wants TO use isn't. Unless his
article is particularly adapted

wants the news pages. and there
are about the same mum Der or
