OF AMERICAN TROOPS

Washington, Nov 16.--The war de-
partment has made no definite plans
for the return of the American expedi-
tionary forces to the United States, it
was learned last night, and it is not
regarded as likely that the movement
except of>sick and wounded, will start
any time soon
Asked specifically if any Of the men
could be expected home by Christmas,
Secretary Baker said he did not know,
adding that no estimates of the time
required had been nude.
General Pershing, it is understood,
has been considering the question of
getting the army back home, but 1t is
said that. many factors in his plans
have not yet been decided. Among
these is the question of what proper
ton Of the guard duty in Europe the
American forces will assume. Pre-
sumably the war council. through its
military advisers at Versailles, Is work.

VOLUNTARY CONSERVATION.

The food card, strictly speaking, has
not appeared in America Compulsory
food rationing in the meantime has
been in action in France, Italy and
England.
What, are the comparative results?
The American people have shown
equal results under voluntary" food
rationing with the foreign conservation
under compulsory systems. We have
demonstrated that every American can
take care of his own conscience. We
have proven that our form of govern
ment is practicable; and that leader
ship may be safely placed in the
hands of the citizen body.
Montanans were asked last June to
materially reduce their wheat con-
sumption. The wheat flour sales in
the state fell off 60 per cent for the
month.
Montanans were asked to cut down
sugar consumption this fall. Thousands
have pledged themselves to the use of
sugar substitutes until sugar becomes
more plentiful.
Montana's record is the nations rec
ord. Everywhere the requests of the
Food Administration have met with
the most loyal response. Everywhere
the spirit of voluntary cooperation has
justified our faith In the ideals of our

New York, Nov. 10. - Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the United States
shipping board, announced here last
Europe that the government intends to
return to this country speedily large
part of the American eXpeditionary
forces. The purpose of Mr.. Hurley's
trip to Europe is to arrange the de-
tails for their transportation.
TO offset the loss of transport ton
mage through the withdrawal OF British
ships hitherto engaged in carrying
American soldiers overseas. Mr.. Hur-
ley hopes to utilize % or 80 German
and Austrian liners, with accommo-
dations for 1000 men each. In COM
pens;tion for the loan" of these YES
sells, he said, food would be sent to
the people of central Europe on their
return voyages.
Mr. Hurley said the shipping board
would be able to bring troops back at
the rate of 100000 d month, "if the
war department wants them returned
as fast as that" He would meet Gen.
erai Pershing at American field head
quarters. he added, to discuss the de-
tails of their homecoming.
His Mission to "Get Boys Back"
While he will go abroad with Her
bert Hoover. federal food administra-
tor, to cooperate in arrangements for
the shipment and distribution of food
stuffs to regions liberated under the
armistice terms and in a degree later

primarily to do with getting the boys

of France, he said. They would be
followed by units of various branches
of the services, following plans already
partly worked out by Secretary Baker
and the general staff.
On future developments in the in
ternal affairs of Germany and Austria
and their relations with the allies, the
shipping official added, together with
the trend of European events in gen
eral, would depend the number of
troops to be brought to this country
within the next few months, but he
was prepared, he stated to transport |
large contingents.
British transports, he stated. which |
have carried 60 per cent of the Ameri- |
ran troops bound overseas since the |
program was increased early |

% London for three-day conference
With food and shipping officials. From
here they will go to Paris to meet
authorities of the allied and American
in direct touch with the

d in operating the merchant fleet of
