Denobili
of Troops in Camp to Begin
Immediately.

the Atlantic has stopped entire
ly and rehabilitation of troops
in environments and camps at
home is under way.
General March, chief-of-staT,
made this announcement today,
outlining the War Departments
plans in answer to the questions
the country has been asking
since the day the armistice was
signed and it became apparent
that the war was over. He said
orders already issued would send
100000 men back to civil life
within two weeks, and that
when the plan was in full swing
about 10000 would quit the
army daily.
Fighting divisions of General
Pershing's army in France will
be dcmobilizcd as fast as posi-
bic i'll their home communities.
The chief of staff would make
no prediction as to when the
first divisions would start home.
1t appears probable, however,
that the flow of returning troops
can be in full tide before Febru-
airy.
Some officers regard it as pos
sible that certain divisions may
be recalled i'll advance of the
general return movement. Gen
eral March indicated that the
Forty-second Rainbow division,
because it is composed of men
from 26 states and in rccongni-
ton of the fighting record it has
made i'll France, would be mark
ed for special treatment. The
Twenty-sixth New England Ma
tional Guard) and the Forty
first (Sunset) divisions are in
the same class, so it would not
cause surprise, therefore, if
these three organizations should
be designated by General Perish
ing as the first to return. With
six weeks of 1918 left it is pos
sible they may be home before
New Years day.
experimenting the statement
of General March, Secretary
Baker said it would not be neces-
sary to maintain all the existing
environments for rehabilitation
purposes and that Il study was
now being made of those desira-
bic for that purpose. The 9th
ers, with all the divisional camps,
he indicated, will be abandoned
as soon rs the men now occupy
ing them have been mustered
out.
The rehabilitation will be
carried out in the following or
der:
First, development battalions,
II in number and comprising
9S, 199 men.
Second, conscientious object
ors not under arrest.
Third, spruce production di-
vision.
Fourth, central training
schools for officers with some
notifications.
Fifth, United States guards,
now numbering 1876, 900 men.
Sixth, railway units.
Seventh, depot brigades.
Eighth, replacement units.
Ninth, combat divisions.

it hardly likely that the general
public will ever realize the ex-
tent of the suffering and the
anguish caused by the Spanish
influenza in some of the more
remote mountain communities
of Virginia where tho frightful
malady ragged with Il degree of
severity which is difficult to
explain.
Particularly did tho mining
and lumber sections of the
southwestern counties suffer,
though the State Health Board
acted with amazing celebrity in
establishing emergency hos
pitfalls where the need of outside
help seemed most pressing. De-
spite the fine organization OF
these institutions and the zeal
with which their attaches la.
bored day aud night, scores of
sufferers in mountain cabins
and shacks far distant from
railroads, could not be reached
at all, and in some instances it
was heard even TO find persons
to bury the dead, In several
neighborhoods II e supply of
collins utterly ran out while al
most every where there was a
shortage of doctors and nurses.
Worse still, the well people of
some communities became so
terrified when they noted the
ravages of the disease, that
they were either afaid or un-
willing to help the sick, and
consequently few dauntless
spirits were left to perform
duties which taxed their endur-
ance to the staggering point.
In Dickinson county, which
has only one railroad, the "lu"
literally ran riot, and it is little
TO be wondered ut that many
persons became panic stricken,
for in some sections they saw
death and suffering on every
side. Worse still, the disease
did its deadly work with horri.
flying rapidity aud no man, sick
or Well, could tell when his
hour might come. In the
Clintwood neighborhood alone
there were probably 1000 cases
of "ilu" while 800 out of 500
persons in Fremont and its en-
virons became ill. To add to
the terrors of the situation, pit
Hess rains drenched the noun
tains and made ordinary travel
almost impossible. In on G
household four out of ten people
succomed to the malady. And
is it any wonder that their
neighbors became demoralized
when they saw n quartette of
collins standing IN front of this
stricken home? The sight that
met their gaze was a hideous
allegory of menace and tragedy

Serious Internal Troubles Are

WAR MATERIAL SHORT
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg Boldly
Tells German Leaders Country
Must Have Peace on
Any Terms.

Washington, Sept 16-The military
situation on the western front and in
ternal political conditions in Germany
and possibly in Austria-Hungary as
well are expected to determine the
nature and time of the German reply
to President Wilson's communication,
definitely closing the door to peace ne
gotiations with the German autocracy.
The Presidents note probably already
has reached Berlin through the Swiss
foreign Office.
Reports reaching Washington
through official sources by way of neu-
trail countries, not only indicated the
existence of almost chaotic conditions
in the Central Empires, but also said
that it was Field Marshal Won linden
burg himself who was responsible for
the German government accepting the
Presidents peace terms and seeking
an immediate armistice.
1t was said that recent meeting
of the military leaders and the heads
of the parties in the Reichstag, Won
Hindenburg boldly declared that Ger
many must have peace at once, on the
best terms she could get He said the
armies no longer had the necessary
munitions and materials to continue
the struggle nor was there any source
of supply so far as he was aware.
In the light of this situation the field
come to try first for an armistice and
then for peace and he urged that this
could be put in the light of conces-
sion to the demands of the Socialists
and pacifists in Germany.
Prince Macmillan, the chancellor, is
such a course, dreading a reaction
against the junker element by the So
cialists, but imperial approval was
given Won Hindenburg's plans and the
request for peace followed.
No indication has been given as to
when replies will be made by Presi-
dent Wilson to the Austrian and
Turkish appeals for peace. 1t is un.
derstood that there is no ground for
apprehension which has arisen in
Austria that the President would re-
fuse to reply to Premier Burian's ap-
peal because of the autocratic char
acter of the Austrian government. 1t
was said that this might well figure
in a final peace proposal, but would
not operate to prevent the considera-
ton of an armistice which Austria
seeks.
-, frr1n Nf hA oh a
peal and, while not officially stated,
it is believed that the prime reason
for delaying replies to both these ap-
plications is to afford time, for the
Presidents response to Germany's
peace prefer to filter to the masses
in Austria and Turkey through the
rigorous censorship that exists.

Wilson's determination that Alsace.

Allies are now definitely agreed on
this point.
One of the Presidents IA terms
stated that "the wrong to France in
the matter of Alsace-Lorraine should
be righted." The French always &C

favored it's restoration, but it has

on the changes which had occurred in

the great success which has attended
the efforts to improve port facilities.
The progress which has been made
is marvellous he said, and facilities
for unloading ships now are ahead of
the ships themselves, so there are
frequently open berths at the great de-
barkation ports. No serious outbreak
of influenza has occurred among the
troops in France.
