WAR DEPARTMENT MAKES
PLANS FOR RETURNING SOL
DIERS TO CIVIL LIFE
ARM|ST|cE HAS ENDED DRAFT
Release From Army to Follow Selec-
tive Plan in Organizing-Wfn
Educate the Men

Washington, Nov. 11.-America's s
armies will be year or two years
returning and demobilizing.
That is the general wer depart
ment estimate today. though the de-
partment is doing nothing toward de-
mobilizing until 1t is assured that
Germany has fulfilled the armistice
terms. afa
Demobilization plans, however, are
all made. s '
In fact, they were mapped out
along the mobilization plans by the
general staff. On the whole, the de-
mobilization will follow the selec-
tive system. Men longest overseas
and those most needed in industry
will be the first returned.
The shipping problem will offer
some difficulties.
Britain plans to withdraw her
transports from the American SER
vice, taking care of her Australian.
Canadian and Indian troops. Hence,
the process of returning will be slow
ed up Immediately. Still another
phase Of demobilizat'on which spells
a year or two years of foreign SER
vice for many troops is the need for
police duty abroad.
One phase of the rehabilitation
calls for return Of men to this coun-
try for sending them to camps and
feeding them back into industry as
industry adjusts itself. . 4a

The results of the election Tues,
day are slow in coming in but
enough returns are at hand TO
show the election of Governor
NOrbeCk as chief executive of the
state by plurality of about 20,-

this district is still close and com
plete returns will be necessary to
decide the winner, the present re-

One of the surprises of the elec-
ton was the poor showing the
Non-PartiSan League made after
the hard campaign they put up,
the only battle they now have is
to keep out of third place in the
race.

Leads

A Pierre special to the Sioux
City Journal says:
Jackson county was the first
one in the state so far as is knows
to come in with a warrant for a
large percentage of its apDropri-
alton for the war activities fund
That county sent a warrant for
$1,000 about half what it was as
SeSSed, and is ready to come with
the rest as soon as it is needed.
When the different counties of
the state pay in their funds there
will be no delay in meeting the
state assessment for such funds
as the money will be on hand to
make the payments without any
wait, and every taxpayer of the
state will have share in it.
The county commissioners of
Jackson county don't let the Opin-
ion OF the attorney general as to
what expenditures they may
make legally, stand in their way
when it come to looking after the
Jackson county boys. AT their
last meeting they appropriated
the necessary money for the pur-
chase of a seal bill fold for each
soldier who has gone from Jack
son comfy, and added to. the val
ue of the Gift by requiring the in
diyidual name and address of the
party to receive it be printed in
gold in the book. Jackson Coun-
ty was the first one to send in its
money for the war activities fund
and the commissioners of that
county are not heSitatin9 when
ever they are called upon to help
in the war requirements. Philip

Christmas Parcels
For Soldiers

One parcel will be accepted by
the War Department through the
Red Cross for each soldier over
seas.
Each soldier will be provided
with one Christmas parcel label.

label will not be accepted by the
Red Cross for delivery to the p.
q. Authorities. Labels that are
lost will not be duplicated.

With each box will be given
complete instructions regarding

and list of articles which are
barred by the postal authorities.

But there was no faltering. Never

writes G. G, Lyon In the Chicago Post.
A soldier can be judged by the songs

The Y. NJ G. A, has done most
valuable work, through its musicians
and entertainers, In breaking the ter

hang over the army just before big

America Fills the Need

For years it has been the custom for
American manufacturers to obtain
each season large number of Paris
garments and readapt them to the
needs of American women. Paris has
always taken the lead In suggesting
possible styles. But the war has
brought American designs to the fore,
although IT has by no means served to
discourage Paris artists. Now many
garments wholly American are being
shown, and the fact has been clearly
proved this country need never in
future play second fiddle. The fact
that fabrics and trimmings are scarce
and that wool, especially, must be con-
served has probably worked to the ad-
vantage of American designers and
woud-be designers. For simplicity
has been the rule.
