TO UNITED STATES THIS week
3S2 Officers and 8,614 Men Of Training
Units - Others VIII Follow
Movement Limited Only by
Transportation Facilities.

Washington, November 26-Nearly
1000 American troops are expected to
arrive in New York before the end of
this week, constituting the first units
of the expeditionary forces to be re-
turned home. The troops, comprising
3S2 officers and 6,614 men of the air
service and other training detach-
ments, left Liverpool last Friday and
Saturday. The units, all of which
have been in training in England, are
being brought home on three British
liners, the Minnekahda, Lapland and
Orca. The units will be sent to camps
near the homes of the men, and the
rehabilitation will take place at those
camps. They will be followed soon
by other units of the 10000 Ameri-
can troops in training in England.
Secretary Baker said yesterday that
the homeward troops movement will
be limited only by transportation ia
cilities.

REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT
LIMIT ON TAXES IN 1920
Senate Committee Votes TO Set Bounds
Now, McAdoO's PropOsal-Enact-
ment OF Measure May Be
Blocked mt Next Session.

Washington, November 26-Repub-
lican members of the Senate Finance
committee had under consideration to-
day plans for carrying to the floor of
the Senate their fight against fixing,
at this time, the 1920 revenue yield
at $4,0O0,0O0,000. The Finance COM
mittee, which is revising the House
draft of the 1919 revenue bill, by
strict party vote, yesterday, decided
to recommend to the Senate that the
sum to be raised from taxation in 1920
be fixed at this time at 100000, 900,
Republican opposition to the 1920 pro-
posal made by Secretary McAdoo had
held up vote by the committee on
that question for several days. Some
Republican leaders said today that
should the Democrats insist upon this
feature of the bill the Republicans
might attempt to block enactment Of
the measure at the coming session of
Congress. The revenue bill today was
virtually in shape for reporting 10 the
Senate when it convenes next Monday.
Chairman Simmons said that as the
bill now stood it provides for the rails
ing by taxation of total of $6,000,-
900, 900, the amount suggested by Sec
retary McAdoo

RED LEADER IS
NOW THE REAL
ruler OF PRUSSIA
Declared to Have OverihrOwn Gov
ernment Of Moderate Socialists
Chief Apostle Of BOlshevism.

London, November 26 Lee than
two months ago DR.. Carl Liebknecht,
Socialist, was serving a prison SEN
tence at hard labor on a charge of
high treason against Germany. To-
day, as leader of the Reds, he is the
ViTthal dictator of Prussia, the victor
if a. 4hree-day struggle with Chan
cellof Elbert, moderate Socialist.
kTowing the principles of Bolshev-
ism, Liebknecht is taking hold of the
government with the slogan written
on the banners of his followers. "The
end justifies all means" Upon the
extent to which Liebnecht can exert
his influence on the masses depends
his duration as the virtual ruler of
Prussia.
In the meantime, Germany, as a
confederation of states, is on the
verge of disintegration. North Ger
many has formed an Independent re-
public, with Hamburg as the capital,
and including Schleswig-H -Holstein and
Oldenburg, with Bremen, Bavaraia,
always the foe of Prussia, is leading
the South German States, including
Wuertemberg. Hesse and Baden, into
the formation of South German re-
public, with Munich as the capital and
uniting these four States with Ger
man-Austria.
The affairs of Germany for the pres
ent are in the hands of the Berlin
Workmen's and Soldiers Council. 1t
is not Socialistic doctrines which have
made possible this state of affairs and
the elevation of Liebknecht, observers
say, for Germany has practiced State
Socialism for many years, but the
danger of starvation has made it pos
sible for Liebnecht and his followers
to plant the seeds of Bolshevism on
fertil soil.
In the meantime, the Allied govern
ments are said to be considering MAX
ing joint application to the Dutch gov
ernment for the eXtradition of Count
William Hohenzollern, former Ger
man emperor.

AND HE WAS RIGHT

Who says that our public schools
are not doing their full duty towards
the young hopefuls of this commun-

Caplinger's suggestions in last even
ing's Ledger-that pupils should re-
view their work that was covered in
the five weeks of school-one was go
ing over the geography. when the
question was asked to bound Ger
many. In an instant the young hope
full answered, Germany is bounded
by United States soldiers" This lad
certainly has kept up on the war news,
anyhow. And his answer was not Sc
very far wrong at that

CERTAIN winner OF
THE SPEAKERSHIP
Washington Predicts OhiOan VIII
Capture HOnOr-Madden Chief
Rival - Mann and Gillette
May Be Eliminated in
Final Running.

Washington, D. c., November 20
That DR.. Simeon D. Fess Of Ohio will
be the speaker of the next House is
being predicted freely in congression-
al circles today. Members directly
concerned in the prospective organi-
zation, which will be made, according
to general expectation in an extraor-
dinary session soon after March 4, are
of the opinion that "Jim" Mann of
Illinois, now Republican floor leader,
will not be in the fight. There is op-
position to Gillett of Massachusetts on
the part Of those who deem it inadvis-
able to give the speakership to an
Eastern representative. The real riv-
al of DR.. Fess will be Martin Madden
of Illinois. DR.. Fess has made many
warm supporters for himself by the
successful manner in which he con-
Quoted the Republican congressional
campaigns, resulting in so sweeping
victory for his party. DR.. Fess is
not in the city, having left today for
Ohio, but 1t is understood that he is
not actively seeking the election. He
will remain in Ohio to attend the gath
ering at Columbus next Friday, when
party affairs in the State will be dis
cussed by the State Central and Ad-
, visory committees.

WOUNDED Marines
PASS THROUGH
One In Particular Shows the Kind Of
Material That Made Up the
L. y. Soldiers.

Yesterday several carloads of
wounded soldiers passed West over
the c. & o., bound for Chicago, about
$50 in all. A large number of them
we're disappointed youths, who had
been honorably discharged from train
ing camps, but there were number
of heroes from overseas, while quite
a number were going to various
camps as instructors to those who
desire training for commissions.
One young marine, a regular giant
In size and a splendid specimen of
physical man, attracted much atten-
ton. He was member of the Second
Division which is composed mostly OF
marines and regulars. He had evil
IDENTIFY been through the bitterest
fighting of the war and met with such
serious injuries that he was sent over
the first of October. His right arm is
useless and his right shoulder is two
pounds and a half of ivory. Eight
pieces of steel have already been
taken from his body, and he was on
his way to Chicago where he will en-
ter a hospital and will undergo his
operation, when four more fragments
will be taken from his backbone. He
was jovial and very agreeable to all
who would ask him questions, but
withal he was modest in his recitals
about his wounds. He said that many
a lad had been worse treated than he
and that he was fortunate although
helpless. He did not fear the last or
deal through which he was to be put.
