WILL TAKE YEAR
TORETURN YANKS

Americas armies will be a year "a
two years returning and demobilizing.
That is the general War Depart
ment estimate though the department
is doing nothing toward demobiliza-
tion until It is assured that Ger
many has fulfilled the armistice
terms.
Demobilization plans. however, are
all made.
In fact. they were mapped out
along with mobilization plans by
the general staff. On the whole. the
rehabilitation 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.
England plans to withdraw her
transports from the American sery-
ice, taking care OF her Australian,
Canadian and Indian troops. Hence
the process of return will be slowed
up Immediately. Still another phase
OF rehabilitation which spells a year
to two years foreign service for
many NAOePo - III A-Lu AOE POAAEC
duty abroad.
Ono phase OF the rehabilitation
calls for return OF men to this couu-
try, for sending them to camps and
feeding them back into industry as
industry adjusts itself. Secretary
Baker has given the plain warning
that it will be many months before
the last man is out of khaki and
back at a productive task.
The general staff plans are so ad-
justed that there will be no sudden
cutting OF the labor market with a
resultant "hard' times" era.
Stoppage of further drafts will
probably follow announcement of
Germany's acceptance OF armistice
terms.
However. until that armistice is
signed. scaled, and delivered. the
War Department is proceeding on
the theory that there can be no
slackcninS. And, though it has ma
ch.ncry ready for slowing down Ger
tain war work, it has not ordered
it slowed yet. and it is continuing
troop shipments, according 10 Score

WANTSU. S. TOPAY
FOR WATER WASTE

Water amounting to millions Of gall
Ions is being yearly wasted by CON
sImers In the District OF Columbia,
according to the report OF the water
department for the fiscal year ending
June so.
More than 100000 gallons OF. water
were used during the year than in
the preceding twelve months, and
most Of this was waste, declares J. S.
Garland. superintendent OF the water
department.
\ recommendation that the Federal
and District departments. said to be
the chief offenders, be made to pay
for the water they use, IS contained
in the report.
The only practicable method Of
preventing waste is to charge both
governments for water used above a
fair percentage on their investment
in the aqueduct and filtration plants
and portion OF the distributing sys-
tom or the water department" states
Mr.. Garland. Then when bills are
presented to the authorities in charge
of these various departments Il will
give them an opportunity to investI-
gate and stop the waste"
The total mean daily consumption OF
water during the year was 50. 6O6, oTO
gallons, as compared TO 51.I5I.0OO gal
Ions in, the fiscal year 1917. Some of
the increase, the report admits, was
due to the Increased population OF the
