 CAMPS DISCONTINUED
Plan Being Worked Out to
 Return Men Home.

Washington, Nov 12.--Orders were issued today by the wor department discontinuing the accepting of appli- cations for the central officers 'train- ing camps and stopping the organi- zation of any new classes There arc now approximately 100000 men in training at these camps, operating on monthly class basis.
 The November classes Will be dis continued and a decision is expected soon as to whether present classes shall be continued to graduation. None of the additional training camps for officers that had been planned will be established
 The future of the student officers training units in Universities and other schools also is now being work ed out. Secretary Baker said today that the question of the best way to sto pthis work with the least disrup- tion to the institutions involved is being considered by the college of ticia!s associated with the govern ment ill the work and also lby the general staff. A policy will be work ed out, the secretary said, that will turn the colleges back to their regu- lar pursuits as quickly as possible, without causing losses to the insti tutions. It may be that the training work will continue longer at some colleges than at others while neces- sary establishments are being made.
 Mir. Baker indicated that no de1in ite decision has not yet been reach ed as othe future of various army divisions, now completely organized or being formed at cantonments ill this country. Asked if these organ izations might see service ill Europe he said:
 "I cannot answer that
 In this connection, however, it was learned that orders already issued effectually check the development of these divisions which have not yet been fully organized. Transfers of officers and other steps necessary to completing organization have been curtailed.

At meeting of the Jefferson Coun- ty Council of Defense held Nov. 12, 1918, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
 "lnasmuch as the final armistice in the greatest war in the history of mankind was signed on Monday, Mo- vember II, 1918; and
 'Inasmuch as the war was, in real ity, not only struggle between the nations involved, but. in it's larger sense, a struggle between the two great doctrines of government which have separated mankind since Christ first proclaimed the sublime doctrine, Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you,' the doctrine of the freedom and equality of all mankind as opposed to the doctrine of the privilege of the few to rule over the many; and
 "1nasmuch as eleven twelths of the people of the world were directly en- gagged in said war and the cessation of the war constitutes what seems now to be the last mile post on the road to equal freedom for the race;
 Therefore we believe it proper to express our gratitude to God for the magnificent victory which we have won in His name by proclaiming Mo- vember 11th to be hereafter a perpet- ual day of thanksgiving and Holiday in this county; and we do hereby so proclaim it, and request that our State and Nation pass laws proclaiming it to be State and National holiday forever.
