Movement of American Soldiers
to Europe Is Over.
General March Says Rehabilitation
of Men in Army Camps Now
Is Under Way.

Washington, Nov. 10. Transporta-
ton of American troops to Europe
has ceased entirely and demobiliza-
ton of troops in cantonments and
camps at home is already under way.
General March, chief of staff, made
this announcement outlining the War
departments plans in answer to the
questions the country has been asking
since the day the armistice was signed
and it became apparent that the wal
was over.
He said orders already issued would
send 100000 men back to civil life
within about two weeks, and that
when the program was in full swing
about 10000 would quit the army
daily.
Fighting divisions Of General Per-
shing's army in France will be de-
modified as far as possible in their
home communities. The chief of staff
would make no prediction as to when
the first divisions would start home.
It appears probable, however, that
the flow of returning troops can be in
full tide before Feb. /. Quarters will
be, available for them at the canton
ments by that time.

American Prisoner
In Germany 3 Years
Comrade of Liebknecht, Seized
as Propagandist, Allowed
to Leave

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 20.-A dispatch
received from Berlin dated Saturday
says Edward Holton James, an Ameri-
can lawyer, once editor of the Paris
"Llberator," has been released from the
military prison at Moabt after more
than three years imprisonment on a
charge of carrying on anti monarchical
propaganda in connection with DR.. Karl
Lebknecht. The dispatch adds that
Mr. James appears to be none the
worse because of his confinement and
that he is returning to the United
States.
Edward Holton James was born at
Prairie du Chen, Wis, and was grad
uated from Harvard in 1896. After
practising law in Seattle, he left for
Paris in 1906 and a few years later
came into national prominence through
his association with Edward F. Mylius,
a Belgian, in the publication Of the
Paris "Liberator." Mylius was con-
victed of libelling King George in the
"Liberator."
Priot to his confinement in the Ger
man prison camp James had been ar
rested for socialistic propaganda in
Germany but was released through the
efforts of James W. Gerard, the Ameri-
can Ambassador, on condition that he
leave the country
