SOLDIERS IN CAMP
GROWING RESTLESS
Loss ,ef Morale Ancng American
Troops in This Country Is Regard
Cd as Somewhat Alarming.


Washington, p. c., .s0r I5.-Ces-
sation OF hostilties in Earope and dis.
appearance Of the prospect of meeting
the enemy on the battlefield has
Brought an immediate loss OF morale
among American troops at home that
is regarded at the war department as
somewhat alarming 1t is understood
that steps to deal with the situation
already are being prepared.
Upon news that the armistice had
been signed, the mental attitude OF
the individual soldier is said TO have
undergone marked change. In
stead OF bombarding his immediate
superiors with queries as to the prob
able date OF entraining for the sen
board, he became anxious as to the
date of his release from service.
More serious are reports by some
commanding officers that their men
are exhibiting tendency to view
themselves as already released from
the strict routine of the camps. 1t is
understood relatives of soldiers who
have absented themselves will be
asked 10 assist the authorities in haV-
ing them returned promptly to spare
the families the disgrace of having
an armed guard sent, and with a view
of mitigating the punishment of the
offenders.

New York, Nov. 15.-The govern
ment intends to return to this coun-
try speedily a large part of the Am
erican expeditionary forces Edward
n Hurley, chairman OF the United
States shipping board announced
here tonight on the eve OF his depar-
ture for Europe to arrange details.
To offset the loss of transport ton
mage through the withdrawal Of Brit
ish ships hitherto engaged in carrying
American soldiers overseas, Mr.. Hur.
ey hopes to utilize 25 or 80 German
and Austrian liners. with accommoda-
tions for 1000 men each.
Mr. Hurley said the shipping board
would be able to bring troops back al
the rate OF 100000 a month, IF the
war department wants them returned
as fast as that"
Conyalescent wounded. including
many men who would have returned
to the battlefront had the war con
tinued, would be the first troops
brought out of France, said Mr.. Hur
le..'.
There are sixty-seven transports
flying the American flag, Mr.. Hurley
said, and it is hoped that these, with
German and Austrian liners which
he anticipates using temporarily, will
suffice to bring American soldiers
home as rapidly as the military au
thorities desire.

There Can be no Relaxation Now in

Red Cross Efforts.

from the War Council of the Ameri-
can Red Cross
"On February 10 last year, nearly
six weeks before the United States
declared war, National Red Cross
Headquarters advised its chapters to
prepare for war. That which has fol-
iowed in the record OF the Red Cross
in helping 10 win this. war and TO re,
.ieve the suffering growing out of 1t,
constitutes something OF which every
American citizen has a right to be
proud. Every American Red Cross
worker must feel sense OF gratitude

The moment is now come TO pre-
pare for peace. Actual peace may
come at any moment; 1t may be defer
red for some time Until real peace
is here there can be no relaxation in
any Red Cross effort incident to ac
tive hostilities.
But even with peace, let no one sup
pose that the work OF the Red Cross
is finished. Millions OF American
boys are still under arms. Thousands
Of them are sick or wounded Owing
to the shortage in shipping, II may
take year or more to bring our
boys home from France. But what
ever the time, our protecting arms
must be about them and their families
over the whole period which must
elapse before the normal life Of peace
can be resumed
Our soldiers and sailors are enlist
ed until the Commander in Chief tells
them there is no more work for then
to do in the war Let every Red Gross
member and worker show our return
ing soldiers and sailors that TO care
for their health. welfare and happi
ness. we are enlisted for no less {
period than they are.
The cessation OF war will reveal {
picture OF misery such as the wor(
has never seen before. especially il
the many countries which cannot hell

will expect the Red Cross to continu,
to act as their agent in repairing
broken spirits and broken bodies
Peace terms and peace cond't 'tions vii
