There has been a prolonged contro-

''for its uncouth characteristics"

PARIS, Dec. 20.-As a result OF con-
ferences between Edward n. Hurley,
chairman Of the American Shipping
Board, and Gen. Pershing plans have
been perfected whereby approximately
1000. 900 tons Of shipping now used TO
supply the American army in France
soon will be released for American
trade. There are more than 150, 900
tons of shipping now lying at Amer
lean docks. and the increasing need Of
providing for the products of Amer
lean factories which have turned from
a wartime to a peace basis has made
some immediate move necessary.
An important meeting, at which
the shipping needs OF all the Allies
and the United States will be dis
cussed. will be held tomorrow. Ar
ranSements. il is said, will be made
for a division of tonnage so as to
give preference in the following order:
European relief, return OF American
troops and commercial business
1t rs believed that the result will
be the homecoming OF all American
troops within twelve months.

FRANKFORT. Germany, Dec. 20.-A
member of the old Prussian country
bureaucracy told me that for him and
his like the Kaiser Is finished. "He
deserted his post and left us all alone"
he said. "He can return to Germany
and nothing will happen to him. but
we should never trust him again."
Most of the discussion turned on the
coming occupation. Nobody feared IT,
for experience has shown II is very
considerate everywhere. but the town
councillor said it might be very diff
cult, for example to accommodate a
detachment of $500 men in a COM
munity numbering altogether 5000.
This Is almost the only complaint.
Outwardly the Rhineland looks at
night as IL it was enjoying a brilliant
winter season. The life OF Frankfort
runs smoothly. as does it's admirable
tram service. although the citizens
complain Of the prohibition OF persons
without passes in the streets after II
o'clock. In the buildings occupied by
the Workmen's Council, near the rail-
way station, machine guns always are
ready to be hoisted on motor lorries
They are IN charge OF revolutionary
bodyguards. mostly marines wearing
instead OF the red cockade the red and
white shield OF Frankfort. The armed
revolutionary police are in civil cloth
ing. but the Frankfort populace COM
plains the marines are overbearing
and insolent.

HOMECOMING EXPEDITED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20. Secretary
Baker has surrendered to the growing
demand for speedier rehabilitation of
the American military force in camps
and cantonments Of the United States.
He announced to-day that 800, 900 men
had been released, and that to-mor-
row Gen. March, Chief of Staff, would
make public the general plan for mus
tering out the great army which has
been held in camps since the signing
Of the armistice on November II.
Mr.. Baker said that at least half a
million Of men. now in camps here,
would be released from service by
Christmas. Also he indicated that re-
turns to civil life would hereafter be
at the rate of about 1000 men a day
from each camp. The rate of de-
mobilization now has reached 1000
a week.

The Frankforters appear 10 show
extremely little interest in the revolu-
ton. which here was a placid affair.
Most OF the people were asleep when
the revolutionaries seized the police
president. Even during the noise Of
the revolutionary assembly Frank
forterhof visitors continued to chat
and drink their beer and wine with
Unconditional indifference. The ex-
PLANTATION OF their Indifference is that
economic relief can come only from
the Entente Allies and a reorganiza-
ton OF business only from paying
such prices as the Allies demand
Berlin was never anything but un-
popular in the west. Now 1t is de-
spised as place where the people
jabber and squabble and achieve
nothing but disorder.
1t Is perfectly obvious that persons
who cannot afford to pay restaurant
prices are slowly starving. The food
commission should worry first about
milk or suitable alternatives for young
children and invalids, Nourishment
OF the right kind is either non-existent
or badly distributed. and even when
high price is paid the food is not
nourishing.
