THE FIRST YANKS
TO BE DEM0BlL lZED

Washington, Nov. .16.-Men of the
development battalions will be the
first units of the army demobilized,
Secretary Baker has announced. There
are about $4,000 men now in these
battalions and they will be mustered
out as soon ais they can be given the
necessary physical examinations.
The development battalions are
composed Of men who for physical
or other reasons were unsuited for
active military service when they
were called up in the draft. The ma
ture of their disabilities was such,
however, that it was anticipated
many Of them could be developed un-
til they would be able for full duty.
All environments have such battalions
Before any man is discharged from
the army final physical examination
| is necessary to determine his condi
ton at the end of his service and II
is for this only that rehabilitation OF
the development llattalions will be
delayed. MFR. Baker said he did not
know when the forces in France
would begin to return.

London, Nov. 1.-THE threatening
attitude of the extremists in Hol-
land, who have demanded the abdi-
cation of Queen Wilhelmina, is

cording to the Daily Express.

ter of war who has been in London

KEEP WHEAT HERE
Government Will Use Kansas
Elevators as Storage.
Will Be of Benefit to Millers
and Farmers.

wichita, Kan, Sept. 13.-Elevators
in Kansas with modern storage facihz
ties will be used by the grain corpora
ton of the food administration for
storage of government grain. it was
given out today at the food admins
tration.
This means the government will
keep wheat in. Kansas and that more
will be milled here. Not only Will it
be of benefit to the mil1ers~but will
help the farmers by providing them
with mill feeds later in the year. The
government will require elevators to
give bond when wheat is stored in the
elevators. The government will then
buy the warehouse receipts. Full in
formation can be obtained from Fed
eral Food Administrator Innes at
Wichita or from D. r. Piazzek OF the
grain corporation, New England build
ing, Kansas City, Mo. -,
Elevators at basic points are filled
with wheat and it is now necessary to
use interior elevators. IS
While the storing of grain in Kan
sas will help the mill feed situation
somewhat, the food administration
says there will continue to be a mill
feed storage. This is national con-
dition. Mill feeds are short every
that ships for the allies are being load
ed with wheat this year instead of
with flour. 1t takes seven. days longer
to load big ship with sacks of flour
than with wheat which can be poured
into the hold by machinery. In the
present shipping shortage the seven
days are too precious to be lost.

HAILED in LONDON
British Press Plays Up the
American Offensive.
Foreshadows Future Course of
War, Says One.

London, Sept. 13.-The assault on
the st. Mihiel salient dominates the
news columns of the newspapers to-
day which feature it with the biggest
headlines. The opening blow in Mar
shall Foch's great offensive scheme
claims attention in any case, but this
one has a special attraction as the first
stroke of the independent American
army under direct American COM
mands and as such is hailed as one OF
the milestones of the war.
That the blow thus far has succeed
ed so well and brought such a large
haul of prisoners affords an oppor-
tunity for congratulations by the
press.
"Glowing Page in o. S. History"
1.-The day ADDS a glowing page OF
glory to American history" says the
Graphic, land it will be proud recol-
lection for America that her sons had
a lions share in wiping off the battle
map a salient which persisted there
for almost four years"
The Daily News calls attention to
the strikingly restrained tone OF Cen
eral Pershing's communique and says:
This new formidable thrust adds to
the enemy's perplexities and gives
proof of the commanding superiority
and resources of the allies which fore
shadows the future course of the war"
The Daily Mail describes the incl
dent as lone of the great moments OF
the war"
1.-THE enemy" says the Times. t.has
very good reason for disentangling
himself without delay. He is in a
sack and the strings are being drawn
on both sides. Unless he can repel
one OF the other of the American
forces he must resort with all speed
to the elastic defensive he has been
practicfng on the Marine and the
Somme, or run the risk of having the
strings drawn and the neck of the
sack closed. The stroke is well con-
ceived. and the Americans may be
trusted TO deliver it with their usual
vigor and determination"
People Hear News With Joy.
London, Sept. 13.-The British pub
lie has been anxiously looking for
another American move, but hardly
expected it so soon. and the news OF
the Franco-American attack to pinch
out the st. Mihiel salient which the
Germans drove into the French line
in September. 1914, and have held ever
since, was received here with the
greatest enthusiasm and, according to
who heard of the good progress the
Americans are making, with equal en-
thusiasm there.
Germans We're Prepared to Resist.
AS big advance in this direction
would soon cause great Inconvenience
to the enemy before Metz. 1t Is fully
expected that heavy resistance will be
met. According to military experts.
the German front between Verdun and
the Swiss frontier for many months
has been only thinly held with in
ferior troops in comparison to the re-
mainder of the front to the sea, and
one of the objects General Ludendorff
had in shortening the front was to
utilize troops thus obtained to
strengthen this line. General Luden-
dorff undoubtedly expected this Sec
ton of the battle line to be the OBJ
ject of an attack by the American
army which was generally supposed
to be somewhere in this neighborhood.
