GERMAN SOLDIERS ARRIVE HOME AT
 RATE 10000 DAILY
Men Wear Evergreens and March Through Berlin to Tune of Deutschland
 Uber Alles''

London, December 17.-(British Wire- less Service. )-The correspondent in
 Berlin of the Daily Express, dealing with the return of the German army, says the scenes of enthusiasm marking the homecoming of the troops are end ling.
 Men have been coming home at the
 rate of 10000 a day" says the corre- spondent, Every day Herr Ebert (the chancellor) takes his place on ros- trum opposite the French embassy. He addresses the homecoming men and the bands play martial music, while the crowds cheer and wave their hand kerchiefs.
 DECORATED WITH FLOWERS Deutschland Uber Alles' brought me into the street this morning. To my amazement-and to the apparent amazement of the French officers grouped In the window of the embassy Ia regiment was passing the Branden- burg gate to the old tune. Later, l heard it played continuously as cavalry infantry and artillery swept by. Regi- mental flags were crowned with laurel wreaths. The men wore evergreens around their steel helmets and their tunics and guns were covered with flowers. What particularly struck me was the attitude of the homecoming officers Those I have seen in the Berlin gar rison were quiet men, many of whom had removed their marks of rank. They seldom were saluted by their men. On the other hand, the troops just re- turned from the front are well discip- lined and saluted as Of old. The offi- cers themselves are unchanged. They exhibit themselves. monocled and tight waisted, to the popula tion, who cheer them loudly.
 DANCING MAD "Berlin Is dancing mad. There are about 50 cabarets in the city and danc- ing goes on all the afternoon and un- til o'clock at night. In a weeks time the edict closing dancing halls at o'clock will be removed and danc- ing then will continue all night Ber- liners are looking forward to this.
 Tt is a remarkable sight to sec cabarets packed to suocation with women in expensive toilettes and both soldiers and civilians dancing and drinking wine costing f2 a bottle. Seats at the theatres can only be booked two days ahead.

ing of the younger actresses, with beau ty, talent and personality to spare As the little waitress in Branding Broad way.' she is said to give one of her best portrayals. ingenious, demure and wholly charming.
 Some of the best fights in history are in this picture. Hart single-handed cleans out crowded cabaret. Exciting? We'll, 1t is considered the stars most famous production. When the big strong man has to call for policeman to help him across the street you will rock with laughter. And when you see him down seven plates of wheatcakes at one sit ting-he likes the waitress-you will be pleased.
 The management of the Strand theatre has been assured that this is one of William s. Hart's best pictures ,and cer- tainly, it is one of his most unusual, as the star in a dress suit and a stiff col lar is certain to arouse excitement any, where.

These facts were revealed today by Assistant Secretary CrowelI director of munitions, in a personally conducted trip to the new proving grounds at Aberdeen, Md, where all types of guns were demonstrated for NIT. Crowells party, and American built tanks and tractors were put through their paces
 MT. Crowell said the United States had looked upon the allies as the first line of defense when this country entered the war, and formulated its intuition plans so as to not interfere with the gun and ammunition contracts for France and Great Britain. Many Amer ican gun forgings and completed guns have been poured across to Great Britain and shipments to the French armies had reached total of 1000 guns month.
 NAVY GIVEN PRIORITY
 The needs of the navy as the second de- fense line also gave it priority and the shipping board came next in the list for steel and other commodities needed to carry out the huge programme mapped out for the American army itself. This placed the American ordnance programme fourth on the list with the necessity of building from the ground up as every existing facility fur gun manufacture was in use.
 A striking feature of what was accom- plished, it was shown by officers at the proving grounds, was the fact that In the l5o nm. howitzer programme, an output had been reached that exceeded the estimated needs of the American forces, even on the basis of 4,O00000 men in France, and 600 howitzers were sold to France as excess.
 The demonstration today covered all the trench warfare weapons and Ithe field artillery. including the 6-inch guns taken from American coast defenses and many of which reached the front as field guns before the war ended It took in also the first public demonstra- tion of the giant guns mounted on rail- way carriages, solid ranks of 7-inch, 14- inch and 16-inch weapons hurling pro- jectiles over the range.
 SIXTEENS FIRED
 Among the guns fired were a 16-inch mortar and 16-inch howitzer. Both were mounted on specially designed rail- way carriages from which they were fired and which could be moved quietly to an other post, evading return fire. A 14- inch rifle of extreme range and power, also railway mounted and so designed that the recoil is taken up in the back ward movement of the whole massive carriage along the tracks, also was fired.

It is purely American output, and IS the first of the great mobile seacoa st batteries to be added to the defenses of the country
 The tank demonstrated today was the 3-ton, 2-man type, of American design. production of 100 day of these swift machine-gun armed land ships was aI- most ready to start when the war came to an end. Early in spring, it would have been reached, supplementing the 6-ton tank programme upon which the United States was working jointly with the British both in design and manufac- ture. MT Crowell said that 5000 of the big tanks were in process of manufac- ture in the United States alone.
 All the working parts of many others were built in the United States and shipped to England for assembly,
 In this way they reached the front with British or American crews
 NEW TYPES DEMONSTRATED
 A fleet of American artillery tractors was also demonstrated, as were two new types of guns developed in this country
 One was an S-inch howitzer mounted on a tractor which plowed over rough ground or through heavy woods, knock ing down trees as it went. The gun was fired with the tractor engine still run ming and 30 seconds later the machine was off for another location.
 An American gun of 75 nm. calibre, the present standard American light field gun, mounted on a two and half ton tractor showed speed over soft, brok- en ground of eight or 10 miles an hour.
 With these two guns alone at the front the artillery could have outdistanced the infantry in an advance through any coun- try.
 Backed up by the 'cargo carriers trac- tors equipped with motor truck bodies, a steady flow of ammunition was as- sured. MT. Crowell showed that the United States has on hand now an enor- nous stock of reserve ammunition for all the army's standard guns.
 For the 75s alone, more than 100000 rounds are on hand and this will be doubled before the contemplated reserve is completed. It is planned to keep 25 per cent of these loaded.
 When the great German drive started last March it was disclosed, France had 63,O00,e00 rounds for her 75s in reserve. V.re en the armistice was signed her re- ~ e stock had been reduced to Is, ,000OO0 .runus. call was made by the French on the United States for 2,500,0 ,000 rounds for these guns a month. In October the United States delivered 2,000,000 rounds in France, and had another 100000 wait ing at the docks, the monthly output on this side having reached 3500,000 with steadily increasing flow.

A Herald reporter was talking to
an enterprising business man a few
days ago, and this man stated that
if he was given the proper encour-

plan upon, which this gentleman pro-
posed to build was to have the build
ing steam heated with elevator,
lights, all modern conveniences and
on the ground floor a swell cafe
where the occupants of the building
could 90 at any time they desired for
meal, and at the same time have
it SO conveniently arranged that the
business men down town could also
get their lunches in mid day, and
that trancient trade could also be
accommodated.
The building to be erected about
four stories high with all apartments
on the outside. and ranging in size
from three to six rooms in the suite
with each apartment equipped with
bath, etc. The halls to be looked
after by the janitor, and the entire

FIVE HUNDRED 1-PoUND PACK.
AGES OF SUPERIOR PUMP.
KIN SEEDS FREE.

Horace Rainey in discussing the
pumpkin seed situation today stated
that the Columbia Canning Co. last
fall. while canning pumpkins, had
carefully picked out the choicest,
thick rich meated fruit and had saved
the seed from them-the heavy rigid
kind. I'VE saved five hundred pounds
of seed from this class of pumpkin"
said Mr.. Rainey, ''and we are going
to give them to the farmers in Maury
county within radius OF ten miles
of our plant"
These seed have been put up in
one pound packages and are now at
the home of ]. ]. Wilson and any
farmers living within this distance
can get one Of the packages.
while to certain extent. we are
doing patriotic service to our coun.
try, there is a little selfish motive in
our scheme" said Mr.. Rainey in dis
cussing the matter further. "You see
1t is this way. II a farmer gets these
seed from US and plants them and
gives them proper cultivation he is
bound to grow superior grade of
pumpkin, and IL he brings them to
our factory. We in turn get much
better grade Of pumpkins for canning
purposes"
What Mr.. Rainey says is true,
while on the other hand, IL the farm
er does not want to market his
pumpkins he has better grade of
pumpkins for his own use il he will
plant a better grade of seed. .af.a
