HOMEWARD MOVEMENT
 OF TROOPS HAS BEGUN
MEN IN FRANCE WHOSE SERVICE E WAS iN CoNsT AUCTION DE- APARTMENT ON THEIR WAY
 TO PORTS.

Headquarters of the American First Army Nov. 22..--While. as an effective military force, the American army re-
 mains intact, the homeward move ment has already begun. Construction of all kinds nas been stopped and con tracts and deliveries cancelled where possible and the men whose services have been in these and othei lines of activity are either enroute tc
 ports. or plans for their authorization are under way.
 The first to go will be the sick and convalescent wounded. These will Dc sent home with the greatest possible expedition. Certain divisions exhaust cd by replacement drafts until only
 the ekelton remain, are also goinil home.
 One of the biggest of tine present problems is the land transport to the seaports.
 With the coming of winter tho French need almost the entire capac- | ity of their railroads to distribute
 food fuel and other supplies through out the country. This will delay tn' transportation of Americans. The army authorities are ghpplin. with hundreds of minor problems bot lGeai and physical, inherent cn possi6l' demobolization While it is realized that the decision on most Of thesi problems, res with Washington, ther' | Is. nevertheless. much speculation Il the army regarding the precise pla' of demobolization- whether followin

GERMAN SOLDIERS WERE
 HOT AFTER FORMER EMPEROR
FOLLOWED HIM TO HOLLAND BORDER AND DEMANDED THEY BE ALLOWED TO
 PURSUE HIM.

London. Nov. 22.-From a special investigation in western Germany the correspondent of the Daily Mall at The Hague has ascertained that there is considerable hostility against the former emperor and his eldest son. The correspondent says that after William lIohenzollern had entered Holland a thousand Gernan soldiers |arriveG at the frontier and demanded that they be allowed to pursue and Aill him. They were turned back by the Dutch frontier guards.
 The correspondent does not believe tha. the former emperor could reach Berlin in safety, no matter what guar- antees might he given. The forlhor crown prince is universally hated al- 90, and is greatly despised. His fife in Germany, the correspondent de- clares. would not be worth an hours purchase. He is under the closest
 guard in Holland, owing to fears oi | an attack.
 | Much publicity is being given tC
 lCitel Friedrich and August Wilhelm respectively. tae second and Iourtf
 sons of the former emperor. and tho
 correspondent' impression is that tn;
 royalists hope through them that dyn-
 astic sympathies can be maintained
