James Sealey, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Sealey, is another Liberal boy
who is making good in the service
for Uncle Sam. James has recently
been appointed as captain. This will
be pleasing news to his many Liberal
friends who know that he deserves
the promotion. They can't get away
from these Liberal boys. They're
the sort that are bound to rise.
We are beginning to wonder what
will become of the business world
when all the boys and girls have to
go back to school. The shortage OF
help is going to be acute when the
kids quit and how it is going to be
met is hard matter.

PERSHINC IN 1920 US. DELEGATION
To Peace Congress Still
Incomplete
No Decision Reached as to Number
Those President Has in Mind Have
Not Sisnified Their Acceptance

Washington. Nov. 25.-Delay in the
announcement Of the names of the
American commissioners to the peace
conference at Versailles is understood
to be attributed to two causes. First,
that no decision has been reached as
to the number and second that all of
the persons whom the President has

an opportunity to signify their ac-
ceptance 1t is regarded as desirable
that the number Of the American

the purpose of coming to a com
mon understanding on this point.

Col. f. NJ House, the special rep

little disposition among American
and European friends to accept as a
totality the framework of peace as
expressed by President Wilson. Some
European statesmen considered that
the points had worked as a good SOL

served their great purpose in their
effect upon German unity but that
they should not be observed too

HOMEWARD BOUND

Washington. Nov. 25.-First units
Of the American expeditionary forces
to return from overseas are expected
to arrive in New York about the end
OF the present week. General March,
chief of staff, announced tonight that
49, officers and 66l4 men of the air
ing in England now are homeward
bound on the Minnekahda, Lapland
and Orca, British liners. The first two
ships left Liverpool last Friday and
the Orca sailed on Saturday.
This announcement means that the
movement Of the American troops
now in England. the majority of
whom arc in air service detachments,
will continue steadily until all Of
them, some 10000, have returned to
this country. There are no regiments
or other units of line troops in Great
Britain. The first movement of the
larger units, such as brigadeS and di-
visions, will come from French ports.
it is assumed as the British cross
channel service is completely occu-
pied with the transportation of re-
turning British forces. The units now
en- route to New York and the ships
on which they sailed were announced
by General March.
Before Gen. Marchs announcement
Secretary Baker had discussed with
newspaper correspondents the return
of American troops from France.
Their homeward movement, he said,
depended almost entirely upon trans
portation facilities both at sea and in
France.
Besides employing in this work the
German liners seized in this country,
Dutch vessels taken over and all 9TH
err available transports, Mr.. Baker
said some part of the British trans
port tonnage employed in carrying
troops to France would continue to he

men comprise a small army Of Red
soldiers" who are accused Of pack
ing various meetings sufficiently to
secure majority necessary to push
through resolutions and other meas
ureS calculated to embarrass the
present government.
Dr. Liebknecht's agitation in its
entirety is the official propaganda of
the SpartacuS group Of extreme Rad
icals. He chiefly directs his attacks
at the proposed national assembly
The indications so far, however, are
that his effort to win over the re-
turning soldiers has failed absolute
ly, and yesterdays meeting was
marked by the violent opposition of
soldiers who are declared to have
been attracted to the meeting un-
der false pretenseS. The radical lead
er's oratory is fOrceful and vindic-

dictate that the internal situa-
ton there has reached criti-
cal stage. Although a proclamation
has been issued declaring that all
political power is in the hands of the
German Socialist Republic and the
Soldiers and Workmen's Council, OPP
position to such government IS
growing outside Berlin.
A greater part of south Germany.
including Wurtemburg, Baden and
Bavaria, has declared it will not
submit ito the terrorism of the die
tators in Berlin who have replaced
the Kaiser and militarism." An in
dependent republic also has been
formed in northwestern Germany
with Hamburg as the capital. Even
in Prussia, according to the reports,
feeling against the Berlin soldiers
and workmen's council, is gaining
ground.
The Neuse Nachrichten of Munich
maintains that if the present rulers
in Berlin are unable to establish the
principles of Federated democra-
CIV and are unwilling that the au-
thor.ty in the empire shall be given
to Germans appointed by national
assembly, the rest of the empire
should detach itself from Berlin and
