President Determined to

MONTHLY MOVEMENT
OF 100000 AT PRESENT
VIII Require Maximum Speed to Fin

Movement Of Troops Will Be Accel-
erated-one Trip in 81 Days.


WASHINGTON, May 3.-Determin-
alton Of President Wilson, indicated in
press advices from Paris, that no
American troops shall remain on Ger
man soil for a longer period after the
signing of the peace treaty than may
be necessary to embark them for home,
is borne out by present plans of the
war department, which contemplate
the return of the entire American expe-
dictionary forces by September. Gen.
March is making every effort to speed
up the rehabilitation in this country.
An official announcement yesterday
as to the accumulation of surplus
clothing for the troops stated that the
estimates were based on "'trOop with
drawal to be completed in September,
also that eff an army of occupation Is
maintained after September portion
of this surplus will be needed

mates by embarkation officials as to

anything, officers anticipate that the
movement will be accelerated rather
than retarded.
The schedule has been exceeded re-
Gently and in increasing measure from
week to week, with an indicated
monthly movement of 100000 men, the
best prediction of Gen. March and his
aids bid fair, it was said, to be moro
than realized.
Officers recently returned from
France say the 1.-TWO bottle necks
through which practically the entire
movement must pass, the embarkatior
camp at Brest and the debarkatior
camp Mt Hoboken, are now operating a
remarkable speed. The system i
said to be so precise that unit o
even an individual officer or man Wit
loses step with the systems stride, ha
difficult time and probably never sue
cecds in catching up with the man
flow.
An instance was shown yesterda,
when among the officers reporting t
Gen March were some who starte'
from their sectors on the Rhine wit
their command just 2l days ago.

VICTORY QUOTA NOW
SHORT $4,000
Subscriptions Here Yesterday $1,000
Average Henceforth Must Be
S18,143 if Quota Is Met.

Only $1,000 was added yesterday to Brat
tleboro's subscriptions for Victory bonds,
making total of s259, 300, or sl27, 200
less than the quota for the town.
This means that if the quota for this
town is to be raised it viii be necessary
for persons to subscribe at the rate OF
more than SIS, l43 a day, as the campaign
ends week from today.
County Chairman j. L. Piddock of Sax
tons River states that when Brattleborc
meets her quota the county will be over
the top. The county quota is 1875, 600, and
the latest figures reported to Chairman
Paddock show that $77l 900 has been sub
scribed. The drive in Grafton raised that
towns quota.

LIVESTOCK BOARD CUTS
 ITS, INSPECTORS FORCE

Sixteen inspectors in the employ Of the state livestock sanitary board have been laid off, it was learned from Ed. w. Stephens, secretary of the board. The services of these men were dispensed with on October 1, fol- lowing a 15-day notice by letter. In explanation of this wholesale re- trenchment order, Stephens stated that there had been comparatively few cattle shipments of late and that as a result it has been necessary to cut down the force, he said.
 Realizing the importance of the work of the inspectors in running down illicit branding and theft, the boards of supervisors of many coun- ties have agreed to pay one-half the salaries of the deposed inspectors if they are again placed on the job.
 Unless this step is taken, they fear that there will be serious outbreaks of cattle rustling. Members of the livestock board have been advised of the situation and the offers which have come from Gila and other coun- ties to share the salary expense of the range riders, and it is expected that they will approve this method if funds can possibly be spared to keep up the states share of the expense.

BIG SANATORIUM TO
 BE BUILT ON LONG-H RANCH

The latest discovery in Apache county is not oil, but a sure enough health resort that will soon become famous if present plans materialize, and they must, because the resort is a veritable fountain of youth, so Den yer chemists and health specialists say. The place is the salt lake on the Long-H ranch, the home of the Tucker Livestock Co.,, of which w. A.. Saunders is manager.
 Some of the members of the com pany are Denver capitalists and it is through them that samples of the wa- ter were introduced among Denver medicos, who have thoroughly tested it and claim that it contains curative properties that are unequalled for all most any old disease-internal or ex- ternal.
 Mir. Saunders says he, has known for long time that the water was re- garded as valuable for health treat ment, but not until recently did the intention of building a sanatorium be- come known. There are now two spe- cialists in chemistry on the ranch Messrs. P. K. Roberts and "Ted" Har- per of Denver-and they are having the lake fenced and location cleared for building large sanatorium, work on which will be started in the near future. The salt lake is about 150 yards long, 50 or 75 yards wide, and very deep. It is located 25 miles north of St. Johns.-St. Johns Observer.

assert that persons who delay build
 ing in the hope of marked reductions
 in building costs probably will be dis
 appointed and will have denied them selves the use of needed property and
 the revenue which would be derived
 therfrom.
 In response to the department of labor's inquiry as to future rates on
 building and construction materials the United States railroad administra-
 tion asserts there is to be no general
 30 per cent advance on freight rates
 for sand, gravel, crushed rock and
 slag. The rumor that such advances
 were contemplated was arousing anxiety in the central west. Under a recent date the railroad administra- tion put out circular which says: "There is no foundation for the report that the railroad administration has given or is giving any consideration to any increase in present basis. of rates"
 The department of labor points out that building, being a basic industry, will stimulate general business and is, therefore, very vital to continued financial prosperity. The national economic loss resulting from the idleness of thousands of men can not be permitted and it's injurious effects escaped. Present building costs are not so high that they equal in the aggregate the wealth the coun try loses through the idleness follow ing in the wake of building stagnation Homes are needed, business quarters are needed, public works are needed. The United States is the wealthiest country in the world! The most re- liable authorities in the country assert that unprecedented prosperity is ahead! Why longer delay the revival of building?

ALASKA MUST REGULATE ITS
 OWN AFFAIRS

| A plea that Alaska be allowed tC
 regulate her own affairs, that recon struction and development be left in the hands of Alaskans, better quail fled to solve the problems of that | country than bureau clerks 5000 miles
 away, is made by George F. Forrest
 of Juneau, Alaska, who is spending
 some time in Seattle.
 MT. Forrest has been resident of Alaska twenty-five years and has several times served as mayor of Juneau.
 According to MT. Forrest, the gov
 ernment policy of beaucratic govern ing power is stifiing Alaska. In 1914, he says, the population of Alaska, not including natives, was about 54,00O. Today there are fewer than 17,OOO whites. He attributes this decrease in population to the coal leasing bill, the forestry bureau. which tied up the lumber industry, and the poor trans portation and mail facilities. Revival of Mining.
 During the war, gold mining has been dead issue but we expect re- vival of this industry in tho immedi- ate future," MT. Forrest declared Not, however, on the same scale as in tho of comes to the front with road builders to minimize the high cost of transpor- tation and assist in providing trans portation facilities. This can be ac- complished by providing an adequate mail contract, which would supply necessity.
 At the present time the Alaska mail is handled out of Seattle as ordi- nary freight. No one is responsible for its safe delivery and rural mail routes are covered in manner not at all consistent with local conditions and are not intended to stimulate progress and development.
 During the war fishing has been the principal industry. Our canned salmon and fresh fish has been tremendous factor in keeping up the food supply.
 Population Ia Floating.
 "The value of all fish products for 1918 amounts to two-thirds of the original purchase price of the terri tory, but the salmon canning industry little toward permanent population, as the season is of short duration, and with no other industry to depend on employees would not be justified in taking up permanent resi- dence in the territory.
 We are hoping that representa- tives from the state of Washington and other Western states will take action, while the subject of reconstruction is all-important, to bring about needed legislation for the reconstruction of our most important possession. which, undoubtedly. needs more support at this time than any other portion of Uncle Sam's great domain"
