BY the Associated Press,


HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMERICAN
FIRST ARMY, Nov. 22.-While as an ef-
fective military force the American
Army remains intact, the homeward
movement already has begun. Construc-
ton OF all kinds has been stopped and
contracts and deliveries cancelled where
possible. and the men whose services
have been in these and other lines Of
activity are either en- route to ports
or plans for their embarkation are under
way.
The FIRST to 70 will be the sick and
convalescent wounded. These will be
sent home with the greatest possible
expedition. Certain divisions, exhausted
by replacement drafts until only the
skeletons remain, also are going home.
One of the biggest of the pres
ent problems is the land transport
to the Beaports. With the COM
ing OF winter the French need almost
the entire capacity OF their railroads
to distribute fuel. food and other sup
plies throughout the country. This will
delay the shipment OF Americans.
The army authorities are graphing
with hundreds Of minor problems, both
legal and physical. inherent on possible
rehabilitation. While It is realized
that the decision on most OF these prob
lens rests with Washington. still there
is much speculation in the army regard
ing the precise plan OF rehabilitation
whether. following the British plan,
some of rehabilitation by trades will
be adopted. whether the existing or
gsnizations will return intact or
whether the army will be reformed and
discharged on regional basis.

WEE ENGLISH SHIP
SINKS BURLY RAIDER
Disguised German, With 400
Aboard, Beaten in Battle.

LONDON, Nov. 22.-How a small armed
boarding steamship. with the help of
II. NJ. s. Achilles, attacked and sank a
German raider three times her size, and
with 400 men on board. can now be re-
lated.
On March 16. 1917. the Achilles and
the boarding steamship Dundee were
cruising between Iceland and Norway
when they sighted the smoke of a steam
ship. Capt. Teake of the Achilles
ordered the Dundee to examine the ves-
sci, which was flying the Norwegian
fiag, besides having one painted on
either quarter
Having his suspicious aroused Com
mander Day of the Dundee loaded his
guns. which consisted of two 4-inch and
two 3 pounders ana on approaching the
stranger sent a boat with an officer and
FIVE men to examine her. When the
boat got alongside part OF the port side
OF the vessel was dropped. exposing four
or Ave so guns. each filing a hundred
pound shot,
Commander Day at once opened fire,
which was returned by the raider, so
that Day had to man9uvre his vessel
out OF range until the Achilles could
come to his help All this time the Dun
dee was able to get shot after shot into
the stranger. Soon the Achilles came
up and under well directed FIRE of the
two vessels the raider sank.

I'VE want a national assembly and

the present Government is willing that
we shall have such participation and
that 1t opposes any measures calcn-
lated to disturb the economic system
We have nothing in common with the

Germany was the cradle of social
thought" the committee says. I'VE do
not need to take intellectual lessons
from Russia. Germany has not liber-
ated herself merely for the purpose OF
changing the degree OF Dictatorship"
1T is a mistaken assumption that the
principal task of the National Assembly
will be to put sort OF official seal upon
the new state Of affairs. The task OF the
Assembly will be nothing less than TO con-
struct and furnish safeguards for the
edifice to be built within the newly
created framework" writes Phillip

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Uncertainty
and speculation regarding President
Wilson's coming trip to the peace con.
ference, the itinerary he will follow
and the names Of the peace delegates
to accompany him will he swept away
early next week by an official state
ment from the White House. The
expectation Is that this statement will
be forthcoming by Tuesday at the
latest.
1t was reported tonight that the
President had already asked Charles
+. Hughes to be member of the
commission and that Mr.. Hughes
was considering it.
1t Is Indicated that the President
has made up his mind on virtually
all the important features Of the trip
except one or two. The exact day
OF sailing and the ship on which the
Presidential party will depart nre
said to be still not definitely settled
as the President has choice Of three
ships and circumstances may make
1t advisable for him to leave on De.
cember 5 or instead of December 4.
Vessels Held In Readiness.
Tentative plans are for the Presi-
dent to leave on the Agamemnon. for
merly the Kaiser Wilhelm H.. which
has actually been fitted UP for the
occasion. There IL, however, another
former German liner in readiness
which the President may choose II he
wishes. and one OF the latest type
battleships Is also being held in read
mess In case the President desires
this vessel.
The navy plan is for one battleship
to accompany the Presidents party
whether he goes on a liner or not, IL
was said. This ship can make 81
knots. and 1t is not believed that the
liner selected will make greater speed
than this.
As already pointed out In THE SCN
the preliminary plans for the peace con-
ference concern such practical and ply
steal problems as arranging for repara-
tion TO France and Belgium and 70,
assessing tho payment which Germany
must be prepared to make. Because
OF this there is now a possibility that
questions concerning territorial adjust
ments, the creation OF Independent ma
tions, the freedom of the seas problem
the league OF nations plan and other
such matters will not be actually settled
for many months.
