In one instnce a Boche prisoner was
summary shot because he refused to

of this fact and refused to touch It..
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many of the beds were

for the return Of the army from over
seas Even with this wide distri-
button OF strain on port facilities and
transportation, however, and with
German ships now idle in German
harb0rs employed on The task, care
ful estimates show that the last OF the
army could not possibly reach the
United States in less than eight
months. Conservative calculations
upon which preparations by the de-
partment probably will be based, fix
ten months at the minimum.
These estimates have been made
wholly upon the basis OF the physi-
cal difficulties to he overcome, and do
not take into consideration the ques-
tion 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 divi-
sion in all probability could not reach
the United States before October,
1919.
Why The Ports Chosen.

mentioned is understood to have been
based on two main considerations.
First, they have been equipped to

and, second, they are all natural

an independent rail system ramifying
back through geographically indie
pendent sections of the United States

INDICTMENT WEATHER HOLDS
UP ACTIVITIES IN WEST
(By Associated Press)

Snow and Indictment weather are
holding in check any large scale oper-
ations on the western and Italian
fronts. The British and Italians con-
tinue to repulse enemy raids at vari-
GUS points, while the German artillery
commandment in the Ypres and Yer
dun sectors still is very strong.
Increased loss of merchantmen is
shown in the current British and
French reports. Through mines and
submarines the British lost q vessels,
including Is of more than 1900 tons,
or nine more than the previous week.
when ~. including II of the larger
tonnage, We're sunk. French losses
were nine steamers of more than 1900
tons. as compared with two In the
previous week
December shipping losses were but
slightly higher than those in Novem-
Der, which established a low record
Submarine sinkings also are said to
have been more common in December
than in any previous month, being
greater than the number the Germans
probably were able to build. The Sc
we're weather conditions are believed
to decreased the effectiveness of the
submarine In that it compelled them
to operate closer together and nearer
the shore. This fact may account
in part for the increase in the number
of U-boats caught by the allied forces.
