By PAUL PREP

~ Of the Philadelphia prep schools will
have chance to win fame and glory for
their alma mater and also for them
selves this afternoon when the champion

This is the first time in many years
that these two titular events have been
booked for the same afternoon. AS a
result the attendance at each no doubt
will suffer. The two organizations ex-
perienced some little trouble in obtaining
the necessary officials. This matter
however. successfully was Strengthened
out BY the Officials Club of Philadelphia.

citement and much uneasiness among

1t is said that the Dutch govern

people contend that William Hohenxol-
lern and his eldest son are still Ger

Others urge that they should be sent
back to Germany. Others argue that
they cannot be prevented visiting
their old friend, Count Won Bentinek
It is reported that the Dutch from
tier Is completely open and many Ger

May Ask for Volunteers.

1t has been suggested that the units
to remain in France for this work be
obtained by calling for volunteers
from the expeditionary forces. Under
existing law, authority is given for
the maintenance of a regular army
up to a strength of about $4,000.
Military men believe. however. that
a much larger force will be required
in Europe for possibly two years after
the signing of the armistice.
The British government began Its
preparations for demobilizat ton nearly
a year ago. Its plans have been SO
thoroughly worked out that when a
dress rehearsal was held recently
a unit of the British army in France
was sent through the machinery to its
final operation, where each man
found himself in his native town, clad
in civilian clothes, possessing gov
eminent voucher, which could be
cashed at any post office. sufficient to
cover a period of idleneSs. Each Brit
ish soldier also will be handed gov
eminent insurance policy against non
employment.
Complete plans for breaking up the
French forces also have been pre-
pared, but it Is considered proba Bile
that the rehabilitation process in the
case of these armies will be much
slower than for the American or even
the British because of the necessity
for guarding Alsace-Lorraine and also
in view of the gigantic task of recon-
st1uction in the invaded districts
