Returning Troops to Land at
Boston, New, York, New
port News, CharIestorn
EIGHT MONTHS TO
TRANSPORT THEM ALL
Last of Units Abroad Not Likely to
Reach This Country Before Next Oc-
tober at Earliest Reckoning Use
German Ships.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o.-Boston
New York, Newport News, Va, and
Charleston, S. c., are the ports the war
department now plans to use for the
return Of the army from overseas.
Even with this wide distribution of
the strain on port facilities and trans
portation, however, and with German
ships now idle in German harbors en-
ployed on the task, careful estimates
show that the last Of the army could
not possibly reach the United States
in less than eight months. Conscrva-
tive calculations upon which prepare
tIons by the department probably viii
be based fix 10 months as the minimum
These estimates have been made
wholly on the basis of the physical diff
ferences to be overcome and do not take
into consideration the question of the
retention in Europe for some time Of
an American force which may be agreed
upon at the peace conference
If the return movement, already in
progress, is continued at full speed, the
last division, in all probability, could
rot reach the United States before De-
tobcr, 1919.
| Decision to route the troops to their
/ homes through the four ports mentioned
is understood TO have been based on two
main considerations.
First. they have been equipped To
handle the transports and the men; and
second, they are the natural gatcways
/ to the country, each fed by the indie
pendent rail system ramifving back
through geographically Independent
sections of the United States
! BY loading the ships as far as pos
siblc with men from the same general
section it will he possible, army Of
fieers say, to avoid cross.earrying and
disruption of normal traffic in getting
the soldiers from the ships to their
homes as.
In estimating for transport tonnage
available for the movement, officials not
only have looked ahead to the new
ships which win be delivered during
/ the rehabilitation period by the ship
ping board, but also upon idle German
ships, including two new and large lin
ers reported to have been completed
except for some details of equipment.
Among the known German steamer
lis the lmperator, almost as large as thS
Naterland, now the Leviathan. TIL,
two new German liners are of approx
matcly the same size as these craft
Each of these four could carry ncarl,
10000 men trip.
The German vessels, eastbound afte
unloading American troops, would carry
food supplies to be allotted Germany.

 SUBSTITUTES

The Natives of Southeastern Alas ka are readily learning to use the various substitutes under the instruc- tion of Mrs. David Waggoner, who is working in connection, with the Home Economies Division of the Al aska Federal Food Administration All over the Territory the Natives evince willingness to, and do to a large extent, save the foods needed for shipment to France. Their great est trouble has been lack of know ledge with reference to cooking cer- calls; however they are making ey- cry effort to learn, and are accom- plishing much. In some of the viii lages pledge cards campaigns have been successfully conducted. The Alaska Natives have conserved a large amount of sugar. commodity they have heretofore always consum- ed in goodly quantities.

"The Gilded Cage' Clever Story Based on Starting of War

Based on the causes of the start of the present worlds war, The Gilded Cage" which is appearing at the Palace tonight and whirh was seen last night is a clever produc- tion.
 As for the story itself, few short paragraphs describing a very small percentage of the big situations which arise. will give an idea of the interest which is held through out.

ASKS PRESS TO REFRAIN
 FROM COMMENT ON SIZE
 OF U. 8. ARMY IN FRANCE

The Secretary of War made the | following statement, in an interview with representatives of the press:
 "A good deal of public comment, through the press and otherwise. is being made on the subject of the number of American troops in France and the number from time to time in the course of transportation.
 "I want to ask the newspapers of the country to refrain from com ment and speculation on this sub ject except to the extent that offic- ial statements with regard to such numbers are made by the Secretary of War. make this reqeust be- cause any program of opshipment of considerations quite apart from the number of troops in the country and the available troop-ship c9pacity. and I am therefore anxious that the people of the country be not uninten- tionally misled either as to the facts at any given time or by speculative possibilities of the situation. l will endeator, from time to time. and whenever it can be done, to state through the press approximate num- bers. My particular request, how ever, is that such statements bes mot made the basis of inferences as to future intentions or possibilities"

A large audience last night wit messed the production of "The For tunes of Eff" with Marguerite Clark in the leading role and all were pleased with the productioE. This versatile and beautiful little actress is hard to beat in any pro duction in which she appear, and in this picture has plenty of chance to show her undoubted ability.
 First seen as the Pierrot in a little French country production, she is given a chance to show her winning way to full advantage. The play was a dismal failure in spite of the efforts of all to build it up. Little Eff alone made any impress sion on the audience, and as Eff longed for better things she re- moved herself to distant pastures. How she finally won success be- cause of her belief in her own abil- ity, how she passed through many trials and tribulations, with many alarming situations before she final ly won that success, and how she finally won happiness for herself, as well as those near and dear to her, form the balance of the plot and give the story an unusual twist which makes it such an enjoyable production.

 Figures available show that no oth- CT country participating in the great war has the actual resources in men that the United States has. Against the Provost Marshal General esti- mate of 1,000,000 for the American military class of 1918, which is added to the almost 100000 total of 1917, can be placed the German annual in crement of 6O0,O00, the French of 400, 900, and the Italian of 350,00O. And all these classes in other countries have been called in advance.

THE HEAD OF GOLD

Stranger than fiction is the story who gained a fortune by solving the riddle which for 50 years had pug zled all of Italy. About a century ago there lived in Naples a wealthy but eccentric Frenchman, who erect ed in a busy street near the monas- tery of San Vito plain, unlettered marble shaft surmounted by a bust of himself. He died. and in his will it was provided that these words should be inscribed upon the monu- ment:
 'On the first of May each year have head of gold"
 Intense curiosity was aroused. and when May day came around the street about the shaft was thronged. Some of the superstitious watched until dusk, believing that miracle would come to pass and the head be changed to gold Nothing happened, but for 50 years each first of May found the street filled with curious onlookers. Excavations showed that nothing was concealed beneath the foundations. and tests proved that the shaft was marble throughout. Finally it was agreed that the in- scription was a sbit of sardonic hu- nor. and only few made the an- nual pilgrimage.
 Then. annibale Rosci. the. ragged beggar, found the solution of the mys- tery and became famous in . day. He had observed that long shadow was cast by the monument, and arm ed with pick and shovel he went at sunrise on the next May day to the famous street. Carefully marking the spot where the shadow of the head fell, he began to dig. Only foot beneath the surface he found . rotting bag filled with gold.
 Statements vary as to it's amount. but 1t is known to have been a large sum. and Tosei was permitted to keep the greater part of it. Casting aside his shiftless habits. he became an industrious and wealthy farmer and landlord. When he died. several years. ago. a large estate was divid- ed among his heirs. The shaft has been removed. for the inscription is no longer true.

SPORTS

WASHINGTON, June loon June 5th. the anniversary of Americas first manpower mobilization, another million youths, the estimated strength of the class of 1918, registered on the first station qf the journey to the colors.
 When their draft registration cards come into their hands, they come to the disposition of swift, smoothly. working and practiced organization, whose agencies in every country side, hamlet, and city of the land have assumed successfully the task of discriminating between the Ma tion's need for men who can fight or work. and it's additional need for men at home to support it's depend ent population.
 Observers, foreign and domestic military and civilian alike. class the performance to date under the Amer ican selective draft law as the most tangibly successful of it's military eff forts, and regard the accretion to the
 
 sters who had not reached their ma jority one year ago as the most certain assurance of the final down fall of Prussian aristoccracy. Be it near or far, the day of Allied victory cannot be evaded, the practical mill tary view is, so long as the rising flood of the American Armies, drilled, equipped and equipping, can be turn ed to the European battlefront.
 Names as recorded will pass into the existing classifications of regis tered men and, in accordance with their physical qualifications, their status as to dependents and as to industrial or agricultural occupations, they will be assigned to Class One, Two, Three. Four or Five. The over whelming majority, however, as indi- cated by the estimate given, the Pro vost Mahshal General expects to find placed in Class One.
 They will go 70 the foot of the list of 1917 registrants in each class, and will not be called, the regula- tions provide. until those above them have been taken, unless by trade or education they are fitted for special ized army service. then they may be called sooner. The system of deter mining the order of their call as among themselves the Provost Mar shal General has not yet fixed, but the general expectation is that some sort of lottery of the type previous ly used. will be conducted on a Ma tional scale. Yet of this officials are not certain, because the recurring drfat calls come more swiftly. and run to larger totals now. and the clas- sification has come, to be more i'm portant than the numbers A late order number will serve only to post pone for few days the inevitable call to the training camps
