MISSION TO BRING
BOYS BACK HOME
CHAIRMAN OF SHIPPING BOARD
MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR
RETURN OF SOLDIERS.
convalescent Wounded Will Be First
to Return, Followed by Units OF
Various Branches OF the Service
When Ships Are Available.

New York.-Edward N. Hurley,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board, announced here Friday
night on the eve of his departure for
Europe that the government intends
to return to this country speedily
large part of the American expeditioh-
airy forces. The purpose Of Mr.. Hur-
ley's trip to Europe is to arrange the
details for their transportation.
While he will go abroad with Her.
bert Hoover, federal food administra-
tor, to cooperate in arrangements TOT
the shipment and distribution OF food
stuffs to regions liberated under the
armistice terms and in degree later
to be determined to Germany and Aus
tria, Mr.. Hurley said his mission had
primarily to do with getting the boys
back home"
Convalescent wounded, including
many men who would have returned to
the battlefront had the war continued
would be the first troops brought out
of France, he said. They would be fol-
lowed by units of various branches OF
the service, 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 preparing. he stated, to transport
large contingents.
There are sixty-seven transports fly
ing the American flag, Mr.. Hurley
said, and it is hoped that these, with
German and Austrian liners, which he
anticipates using temporarily, will suf-
! fee to bring American soldiers home
as rapidly as the military authorities
desire. If their capacity proves in
adequate, he added, the shipping board
has 1875 double-deck cargo vessels,
some of which can be transformed for
] transport work. He is reluctant, how
0 ever, to withdraw these from freight

1t was on that night that Mark felt
at the end Of his powers.
It was early, he had dined and was
sitting disconsolately In his apartment
nothing seemed of any value to him at
that moment, and his thoughts were
ranging round their eternal subject.
Had it been necessary that he should
have treated Mrs. Howard and Ell.
eanor boorishly. to protect himself?
He put on his hat and went out,
meaning to pay them a visit, or. at
least, to walk toward their house while
making his decision. He had not de-
.cided by the time he reached Massa-
chusetts circle. and, as he stopped In
doubt, he saw man across the road,
staring up at the house.
OF q sudden Eleanor's story required
to his mind with vivid force. The man
was obviously watching the house, and
he meant to stay there. s.,
But, as Mark started toward him.
the man seemed to take fear, and
shambled away. Something in his gait
brought back to Marks mind the recol-
lection of the man whom he had seen
outside the Misses Harpers' school.
And he began to follow him. It was
a role that he had never played before
but justified, in his mind, by the neces
sity of discovering the fellows identi
ty. Without any very clear intention
in his mind how he was to accomplish
this, Mark made his way after the soil
tary figure, keeping well behind it.
It soon became clear that the man
although he looked like a tramp, had q
definite objective. Mark pursued hin
toward Pennsylvania avenue, until hi
discovered that he was nearing thu
least desirable part Of Washington
whose location, SO near. the residence
of the chief executive, has always beer
the wonder and scandal Of visitors.

and creating and better rural civilization in many sections of the country
 In accord with the secretarys recommendation, congress made a small appropriation to begin an in vestgation of the of land which could be re- claimed and made available for settlement, and a notable group of engineers and land settlement perts have been enlisted in this investigation as service. These include among others A. P Davis, director of the reclamation service; Ewood Mead, irrigation engineer and connected with state aided land settlement in Australia and California, and H. G. Cory the engineer who closed the gap in the Colorado river and thus saved Imperial valley in California from being submerged. A progress report is to be submitted to congress in December as a basis for further legislation.
 The restoration of ex-soldiers to rural life should not however be left wholly to the federal government There should also be early and adequate action by the states. In Australia the states have done than the commonwealth. In Canada the province of Ontario has done more than the Dominion. If pri- vately owned lands to be purchased, subdvided and improved and sold eX-soldiers long time payments. is being done in Canada and Australia, there must be close business and financial oversight the farming operations in these settlements for many years and in this local knowledge and experi- will be invaluable State agencies like the agri- cultural colleges the farm bureaus, the engin- eerng departments should be moblized in this dertakng in a definite and responsible way, they have been under the state land settlement act of Cali fornia The state and federal governments should cooperate.

Soldiers and Prohibition

People have curious and widely varying notions of the things that will happen in America when the soldiers come back from the These predictions usually shaped by the wishes of the prophets One we have heard the overthrow of prohibition.

Said friend "and that whisky viii have value when the boys get back from France. They'll bring with them broad and liberal notions and hairs will showed into the back ground. We may not have saloons again but the boys viii to it that free born American citizens shall have what they want to eat and drink. There'n be DO more sumptuary legislation after the boys come back
 There are good many things the boys are learn ng over there and of them the thing the world Is fighting for against Germany-the rule of democ- acy-he rule of the majority of the people whether iho majority be right or wrong If the boys should come back with any contrary notion they would not have learned the first great lesson the war They would have learned only might is always right the very thing the Germans are trying to prove
 The boys in France not taking lessons in drunkenness On the contrary those who need teach ing in sobriey have been taught as soldiers never in the history of warfare have been taught Many reckless youth. hanger-on about saloons will come back a sober minded citizen
 The things the boys will demand when they come back and which they will try secure by their votes by the rule of the majority. will be more equal spread of opportunity the abolition alike of privilege and license.
 When the boys come home they will be for the Seter things in lfe-for the home and against loour ,and the saloon.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
They Are Ready To Go

Editor, Arizona Republican.
 Any one reading the communication printed in this mornings Republican under the heading Where the People May Have Hearing" and signed "A Subscriber would naturally suspect that the inspiration came in some way from my office even though the writer himself did not realize it; in other words, it would appear that "Subscrib- CT, although undoubtedly sincere, is serving as a catspaw. I have no de- sire to gain publicity for this office or for myself personally by discussing the subject of deferred classification for entomologists or other agricultural scientists but l wish to correct a wrong impression which the above mentioned communication seems to give.
 Those entomologists connected with the federal horticultural board the several state horticultural commits slons, state plant commissions and state entomologist's offices are prac- tlcally all doing essential work but whenever any individuals find more important fields of usefulness in the army, or are drafted for work in the trenches as priVateS. the vacancies can be filled directly or indirectly by draw ing upon the supply of investigators who are exempted for physical reasons or have been given deferred classifi- cations on account of dependents. Seventy five percent of the agricul- tural investigations now under way will not be terminated and the results will not be made available during the war. The continuance of these in VestigationS therefore cannot be con- sldered as a matter which will help the winning of the war. For this reas- on l consider that large proportion of those engaged in chronological in- Nestigations can be drawn upon to fill more essential positions which may be vacated by enlistments and drafts. There is no reason. with the present demand for army material, why any entomologist should ask for or be giver deferred classification on account o1 his profession, particularly when in- sect disease carrierS-"cootieS." flies and mOsquitoes-ar considered as leading sanitary problems of the ar mics, in cantonments and in the field
 There are four scientific men con nected with this office. One has beer given deferred classification on ac- count of three dependents and one or account of physical defect. Practical! all the local inspectors are above the draft age or will be given deferred classification on account of dependents It is not likely. therefore, that the draf will interfere materially with the worl of the office even though no deferred claSsificationS are given on account o occupations.
 Yours very truly.

 As the great expanse of fertile public domain which furnished the open road to economic independ enoe at the close of the civil war is gone the secre tary proposes that the rrigable swamp and cut over timber land in public and private ownership he TO- claimed and made available for settlement by soldiers under carefully thought out plans
 To these there should be added the neglected or badly used lands of other sections of country which can be acquired in areas large enough to permit of group community settlement If these were &C., qured through the cooperation of the states or the patriotic efforts Of individuals it would have far reaching influence in the improvement of agriculture
