WAR DEPT'S PLAN FOR
BRINGING MEN HOME
By A. e. GELDHoF.

s IN. E. A. Special to The World)
E Here, in rough outline, is how the
war department is planning to bring
the American Soldiers home:
The American expeditionary force
will be divided into two armies, that
which is to remain temporarily abroad
and that which is to come homo.
The army which is to return will
then be broken up in to segments.
Each segment or unit will be organ
lied on the basis Of the location Of
the home of the individual soldier
For instance, the New England di-
vision, the 26th, will remain a unit, as
all its men are from Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New Hampshire. etc But
the RI lbow division, which contains
nationa. guard troops from a score of
states, will be broken up into units,
each of which includes men from a
single state or from neighboring states
Then the United States will be di-
Evided into ten or more districts. Each
district will be fed by one or more
seaports, from Maine to Texas Port
land will feed one New England dis
trict Boston another New York will
feed its own district, which will prob
ably include states as far west as the
upper Great Lakes, Philadelphia, per-
haps Baltimore, the Hampton Roads
ports Charleston, Tampa Galveston
and other ports each will be assigned
to district
Then the men who hail from states
in the New York district Will be sent
to New York, the men from the Gel-
weston district win be sent to Calves
ton, and so on. There viii be no great
influx CT thousands of men at any
one port, although New York will re-
ceive more than others.
Commanding officers of divisions in
France will be instructed TO detach
men from the first rehabilitation dis
trict," for instance, and entrain them
| for a specified French port, where ade-
quate shipping win be waiting. In
France, as in this country, no one port
will be used, The vessels will then pro
coed direct to the port for which the
fnien abroad are destined, disemBark
their passengers and return, for, an
other load
The location of the camps and can
tonments in this country will have
something to do with the selection of
/ the districts. 81
This program has not yet been Of
ficially approved, and war department
officials will not discuss it. 1t is con
sidered likely, however, that the plan
has been completed down to the last
detail, and that even the demobiliza-
ton districts have already been de-
fined.
