FEEL so INCLINED

Camp Lewis. Tacoma, Wash, Nov.
25.-Detailed instructions covering
the discharge of commissioned officers
reached here today from the war de-
lpartment and furnished an answer to
a question which thousands of officers
have been asking for some time.
The information makes it plain that
the designations that have been turned
in by some officers are "out of order''
and that discharge from the army will
be determined by the war deuartment
and not by the personal inclinations Of
the individual officers.
All officers, however, have already
been required to state their preference
as to becoming member Of the regu-
lar army or being placed on the re-
serve list or receiving complete dis
charge.
Gall separations" the order states,
twill be by discharge as authorized
by law; tenders Of resignation will not
be received or considered.
As orders are received, directing the
reduction, Of the enlisted strength, the
circular states, corresponding reduc-
tion Of commissioned strength will be
made, determining the order of dis
charge by arranging the officers in
three classes.

London, NOV. 26.-Married men and
those who have seen long service in
the British armies will receive first
consideration in the rehabilitation of
British fighting forces, says DR.. C..
ADDISON, minister of reconstruction.
"Pivota1" men, he said. would come

The rehabilitation, said the minis
ter, should be so conducted that mil
lions of. men in the navy and army
would have an early opportunity Of
employment. Accordingly, a plan ar
ranged on industrial requirements had
been prepared.
As men are demobilized they will
be re-employed in tho various indus
tries from which they were with
drawn to enter the army. There will
be special facilities giving access to
the land, said DR.. Addison. Gardens
or large plots will be provided.
Councils composed 81 employers and
workingmen have been organized in
forty or fifty different trades. AL
ready these bodies are removing sour
ces Of irritation and bringing a spirit

On March 16, 1917, the Achilles and
the boarding steamer Dundee were
cruising between Iceland and Norway
when they sighted the smoke of q
steamer. Captain Teake of the Achil-
les ordered the Dundee to examine the
vessel which was flying the No,we-
gian flag, besides having one tainted
on either quarter.
Having his suspicious arouse,. Com.
mander Day of the Dundee, loaded his
guns, which consisted of two four-inch

officer and five men to examine her.
When the boat got along side, tire port
side Of the vessel was dropped srdden-
~, exposing four or five guns each
firing hundred pound shot.
Commander Day at once opened
fire. which was returned by the raider.
so that Day had to maneuver tis ves.

could come to his help. All thie time
the Dundee was able to get shot after
shot into the stranger. Soon the Ach-

CASUALTIES IN
AMERICAN ARMY
TOTAL 336,117
LARGE LIST OF SLIGHTLY
WOUNDED MEN BRINGS MARK
HIGH.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Total Amer
lean cauualties to November II. when
histilities ceased, were 236,117, Cen
eral March, chief of staff, announced
today. This includes, General March
said, killed and died of wounds, died
Of disease, unclassified deaths, wound
ed prisoners, and missing.
Casualties sustained by the Ameri-
cans are tabulated by General March
as follows:
Killed and died of wounds. 36,154.
Died of disease, 1881. -
Deaths unclassifed, 2,204.
. Wounded, 179,625.
Prisoners, 2, 1853.
Missing, /, 160. xs
Total 236,117.
While the total losses suffered by
the American army in France at first
glance appeared to be almost doyble
the total estimated by officers here
as probable, analysis of the table, it
was pointed out, shows that among
the $4,000 wounded are included the
names Of thousands of men whose m
juries we're so trivial that they never
were admitted to hospitals and the
record of their injury was kept onzy
in company with regimental dressing
statiors. The final i,,tal of Killed,
died Of wounds or disease, or ON the
unclassified death list, the seriously
wounded, and the prisoners and miss
:'-'-, officers believe, will work out not
= excess of 125, 10000.
,e official figures show also nearly
HE the number of deaths from d.
8 % that have been made public.
: explanation has been forwarded
by General Pershing, but it is assum-
ed that the unexpected increase is dus
to the wide distribution Of American
and Allied hospitals to which they
were sent, making it slow process
to assemble the data.
The number Of Americans taken
prisoners by the Germans little more
han 2:000-is st::kin1l. low in view
Of General March's announcement that
a total "in round numbers" of $4,000
Germans had been captured by the
Americans The fact that the Amer
ican armies have been moving forward
continuously since it entered the bat
tie doubtless accounts for the great
difference.
The 1,160 men reporl,> as missing
probably include others who will be
found to have been captpred, some
whose bodies will never be recovered,
and others who may have become lost
in the ranks of the French or British
forces. The classification also covers
the unidentified dead always to be ex-
pected when great bodies of troops are
engaged

DIVISIONS TO
Be SENT HOME
DESIGNATED.
EIGHT NATIONAL GUARD AND
NATIONAL ARMY MEN ARE IN
CLUDED.
SICK AND WOUNDED
TO RETURN FIRST
AMPLE NOTICE TO BE GIVEN TO
ALLOW RECEPTION PLANS TO
BE MADE.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Demobiliza-
tion of the American Expedit,onzry
Forces, already in progress with the
movement honeward of sick and
wounded, will be hastened by lie re-
turn at an early date of eight divisions
of National Guard and National Army
troops, eight regiments of coast artil-
lery and two brigades of field artillery.
This announcement was made today
by General March, chief of staff, on
receipt Of dispatches from General
Pershing.
The divisions which General March
said have been designated by General
Pershing to return as soon as the sick
and wounded have been removed to the
United States, are:
National Guard-31st Georgia, AL
ALBANIA and Florida), 34th (Nebraska,
Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota),
38th Indiana, Kentucky and West
Virginia), and 39th ARKANSAS. Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana.)
National Army-76th (New Eng
land), 84th, (Kentucky, Indiana and
Southern 1llinois), seth, (Northern
Illinois, including Chicago), and 87th
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Southern Alabama.)
The coast artillery regiments to be
returned as soon is possible were an
nounced as the 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th,
50th, 73rd, 74th and 18th.
The two field artillery brigades to
be brought home are the 65th and the
163rd.
= Air Squadrons Included. -----
Eighty-two aero squadrons, seven
teen construction companies, and sew
eral special units from England will
be brought home as soon as trans-
portation facilities are available, Cen
eral March said.
General March said no report on the
organization of the army of occupa-
tion had been received, but that the di-
visions designated by General Persh-
ing for return were among those he
could spare Immediately.
The order in which they will return
has not been established, but the
| chief of staff pointed out it would take
considerable time to bring that num-
ber Of men home. He also gave as
surances that the War Department
had no intention of allowing the vet:
Grams of the battlefelds of France and
Belgium to sneak into the country un-
noticed, but timely notice would be
given so that adequate receptions
could be prepared. :,
Secretary Baker supplemented Cen
eral March's outline of demobilization
plans later by stating that General
Pershing was reducing his army to a
strength Of thirty divisions and would
further reduce it as conditions justify
AT an average strength Of 10000 men
to division which would cover all
necessary forces, this would mean that
General Pershing would retain 1,200.-
1000 in France from which the actual
army of occupation and it's reserves
would be organized to provide against
any possible emergency.
