Washington, Nov. 12,-Demobiliza-
 tion of men in the military and naval
 service of the United States after their
 return from France will be carried out
 largely on a basis of the ability of
 trades and occupations to absorb
 them, under a plan being worked out
 by the tabor. war and navy depart
 ments and the war industries board
 It was said today that the plan will be
 submitted to President Wilson in
 few days.
 The war industries board has sent questionnairet3 to employers in all in-
 dustries asking the needs for men and the answers will show where, when and how rapidly jobs will be ready for discharged soldiers and sailors and what trades are most in need of them Supplementing this information will be that received from draft boards and community labor boards, which are to cooperate in the work.
 The War Labor Policies Board and the United States Employment Cervice will be combined to handle the labor departments end. The war department is expected 1 oestablish a new bureau Or to convert the activities of Pro vost Marshal General Crowoer' office to this end. General Crowder was sug- l gested by some officials as the man best qualified to deal with the task of preserving -t'.e balance of, power of the labor supply withou. delaying de- mobilization operations
 With the conversion of industry from | a. war to a peace basis many workers also will be released from emergency jobs created by the war. but this problem has been taken into consid- eration by the officials who are work l ing out plans for a general stabilizing l of labor conditions when the soldiers l are returned to civil life.
 l In this connection officials pointed | otu today that with the ending of hos | tilties there will be a great resump-
 ufacturing, held up and restricted be-
 cause of war work. and that thousands of skilled laborers will be needed in
 all parts of the country for this work
 Secretary Baker said today that ev- cry phase of demobilizat;on of the
 army is being carefully studied by ! War Department agencies. but that as
 ye no plans have been finally formu- | lated. The only orders so far issued curtailing war work deal with pro- 1 jects upon which work has not actually
 started, SC said.
 1 Labor Department officials are con l fident that the demobiIiza t.on of the
 4,000, 900 men now under arms at home
 and overseas and the conversion o1 | industries to its peace status will not
 cause any serious problem of unem- ployment.

MIME. 6RESHkoVSkAYA 4 -5 ...s ON WAY 10 UNITED STATES

New York. Nov. 12.-Mme. Catherine Breshkovskaya, known as the grand mother of the Russian revolution" !" who was reported to have been exc cuted by the Bolsheviki on Oct. 27, is alive and on her way to the United States, according to a statement to- night by A. J. Sack, director of the Russian information bureau in this country
 MT. Sack stated that this informa- tion was contained in cable message received by the Russian embassy at Washington from the all-Russian pro- visional government, sitting at Omsk. 1t is said that she is making the trip on the invitation of American friends, many of whom live in Boston.
 Mime. Breshkovskaya who is 79 years old, has spent A years in Rus sian and Siberian prisons as political offender. Freed at Trkutsk by the great revolution of March, 1917, her journey westward was like tri- umphal progress from city to city, reaching it's climax at Petrograd, where she was welcomed by an i'm mense crowd, virtually her first words were an appeal to the people to re- main loyal to the allies This appeal she repeated again and again as the Bolshevilli rose to power.
 The daughter of a nooleman who had held hundreds of serfs. she passed from the luxury which had surround ed her in girlhood to the hardships of prison cells when, at IS, she began to speak and write against the iniqui- ties of cZardom.
 Adventures in which she participat- ed surpass fiction. Many times she was imprisoned and almost as many she escaped. In 1905 she came to this country and collected $1O,0OO for the Russian revolution.

CAPTURE OF ALLEGED
 GERMAN SPY AT DEVENS

Aver. Mass, Nov. 12.--The capture of an alleged German spy in the act of tapping a wire carrying confidential messages between the headquarters of the Twelfth division at Camp Devens and the war department at Washing ton was reported tonight by federal officers and members of the division s intelligence department The man, whose name was given at Private Pressly H.

The civilians, whose names were not given out were taken by the federal officers to Boston.
 In a statement tonight the federal officers said their suspicious first were directed against Stringfellow by re- ports of his comrades that he was in the habit of talking fin his sleep, when he made statements antagonistic to the United States. They alleged that he had been in communication with men purporting to be agents of Germany and that they had found in his DOS session a secret code used to conn municate with these hostile. agents.

Financial Needs
 of Government
Treasury Experts Estimate They Are Certain to Run Above $4,OOO, ,OOO, ,O00 An nuaIIy.

Washington, Nov 13.--I;overnment nnanclal needs for many years are all most certain to run abova $40O9 900 annually, treasury experts estimate, ana most Of the money will be raised py taxation. Consequently. students of government finances think the taxes imposed last year and paid in June probably will not be frightened mate re1ally by the advent of peace.
 Secretary McAdoo today warned that taxes necessarily would be high TOT many years to pay off. war debts, and that additional government loans would be required.
 Roughly, treasury officials and con- gressional leaders in charge Of rev.
 enue legislation figure this way:
 Ordinary government expenses,
 which ran around billion dollars a
 year before ihe war, now will amount
 to at least S2,000,o00 annually for many years and for two three years after the war may be double that fig
 ure. If the $16,S50 100000 of Liberty
 bonds already issued are increased in volume by later loans to S25,O00, GOO, =
 600, the interest on this sum would
 amount to about $1 1.000,30o,GO0 a year.
 In addition. it probably will be the governments policy to establish q
 sinking fund to pay off the bonds at
 maturity, and this would require about S1,250, 900, 900. These three items would
 make an aggregate near $4 250, ,O00, ,000 To offset this, there would be near ly half billion dollars coming in an- nual1y from the allies as interest on their loans, which now amount to sev- en billions and are likely to run much | higher and revenue from t;lstoms and miscellaneous sources. which last year l amounted to about $450 ,000. 600.
 With allowances for wide variations
 in these calculations, there still would remain about three and d half billion dollars to be raised from internal rev 1 enue taxes. Last year $3643, 900, 00C ] came from internal revenue, including 1 2,775, 100000 from income and excess profits taxes. This year these figures probably will be more than doubled Factors which make this system ot estimates highly tentative officials | point out, are that the war is not vel definitely over, so far as expense is l concerned. ani that war debts both o1 l the American government to the pub 1 lie and of the allied governments to the i United States cannot be figured until l then. Reconstruction policies. yet to be formulated, will have much to do with 1 determining how many existing gov 1 ernment wartime agencies shall be
 continued, and consequently how higf ordiniary government expenses vii
 run. Besides, on the condition of bus.
 mess and foreign trade after the wal
 must depend the weight of the tax | burden which can be borne.
