May Be All Home In Six Months.

Washington.-General March, chief
OF staff, informed the senate military
committee that shipping arrange
ments had been made by which 300,-
900 men might be transported home
monthly and that all of the American
expeditionary force could be returned
home and demobilized within six
months.
There are still about 7S5,000 men
in camp in the United States and all
will be demobilized within a month
from today, except those retained for
overhead" duty, General March add.
ed. Up to noon last Saturday, he said,
100000 men had arrived from over
seas.
How many Americans will be held
abroad in the army of occupation Is
to be determined by President VIII
son, General March stated, but more
Americans already have been de-
signated for return home than orig.
inally proposed by Marshal Foch. He
indicated that 10 divisions had been

RUM THUGS FIRE ON OFFICERS
Colonel Vandereook Has Ordered Arm
ored Car On Monroe Roads.

in the last three or four days to kill
members of the state constabulary on
the Monroe road have caused Colonel
Vandercook to order to Monroe the
states armored automobile and it will
be used from now on to stop rum run
ners.
For the past few days the shooting
up of squads and pairs of guards has
been attempted by several cars filed
with Toledo thugs, truck carrying
four members of the constabulary got
between two carloads of rumrunners
and men in both opened fire on the
state officers. Recently more shots
were fired at the policemen and 1t is
thought that with the aid of the arm
ored car, which will carry several
men, troopers can get closer to their
quarry.
The situation on the border now, ac-
cording to Colonel Vandercook, is
worse than 1t ever has been. Since
the national prohibition amendment
passed, the runners have been buying
larger quantities Of liquor in Toledo,
apparently figuring thatsthe guarding
of the border would be relaxed.
Known crooks from Toledo are now
driving the cars, each car carrying an
experienced gunman.

Hotel Congress, Chicago, with repre-

conditions confronting the nation at
this time are vastly different from
those prevailing during the fotation
OF any previous bond issue. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the next
bond issue will be for $6,000,000, 900,
the same amount asked for in the
fourth loan, and that the date of its

STATE DELEGATION IN CONGRESS
ASKS TO VOTE m FAVOR OF
PROPOSED OCEAN
ROUTE.
LOWER TRANSPORTATION RATES
Passage of Measure Would Solve
Transportation Problem Of Michl-
gan land the Whole Great
Lakes Region.

Lansing-The resolution requesting
the Michigan delegation in Congress
to vote in favor of cooperation be-
tween the United States and Canada
in canalization of the st. Lawrence
River, which has passed the House,
was unanimously approved by the
Senate.
Rep. Merlin Wiley, Of Sault ste.
Marie, the author of the resolution,
believes passage of the measure be-
fore Congress will solve the trans
portation problem of Michigan and the
whole Great Lakes region. If the
canal construction plans OF the Cana
dian government receive the support
of the United States, ocean liners will
be able to load in Detroit or any lake
port and carry the products OF the
state to Europe and South America.
Foreign competition in the auto
mobile markets of the world would
be put at a great disadvantage If
Michigans factories were able to con-
vert Michigan and Minnesota iron in
to steel, build automobiles and run
them from the back door Of the fac
tory into a liner that would carry
them to Liverpool, Brest or Buenos
Aires.
The reduction in cost of transporta-
tion of farm products. even to the New
England seaboard and New York,
would he an important factor in i'm
proving the income of Michigan far
mers. The disadvantage of the states
removal from eastern markets would
be greatly decreased. Rep. Wiley
points out, and the advantage of
proximity to the sources of foodstuffs
and the raw materials of manufacture
would remain with the states indus
tries.

for an order to show cause why
writ of mandamus should not issue
restraining Judge Howard West, of
the Ingham circuit court, from putting
into effect h.s restraining order which
prevents the company from increas-
ing fits rates. This means that the APP
peal from Judge Wiest's decision must
take its regular course and the COM
pany can appeal in the regular man
ner at the next term of court.

Two big state commissions have
made their reports to the legislature
and submitted bills based on their
findings. One is from the budget com
mission and the other from the COM
pensation law commission.
The latter recommends increasing
weekly compensation from the $40
and "a maximum and minimum to $14
and 81; increasing the percentage OF
compensation from so to so per cent
Of the weekly wage; extending med
ical attention to three months; reduc-
ing the waiting period, for compensa-
ton to start, to the eighth day; in
creasing total disability maximum
from $4,000 to $4,000, to be paid in
500 weeks, as now and allowing the
state accident board, in its discretion,
to extend payments in partial dis
ability cases beyond 800 weeks.
The budget commission recon-
mends standardizing salaries and
wages paid by the state. II shows
that some of the most important OF
the states responsibilities are in the
hands of men who are only paid 81, 500
to $4,000 a year, and that justices of
the supreme court are paid still on q
,asis liked in 1893, getting less than
many circuit judges in the state are
paid.
The states expenses FOR food, cloth
ng and coal at state institutions are
ue to tall at less ten per cent in 1918
nd twenty per cent in 1920 on food
md clothing, and from twenty to thir-
y-five per cent on coal. owing to the
end of the war, it is stated, and these
eductions were taken into account in
estimating expense for the coming two
years.
Highway development is especially
urged by the commission, which made
LIBERAL allowance for this in its esti-
mates owing to the wide demand for
good roads. A uniform accounting
system is absolutely necessary to q
successful budget system. the report
declares.

LETTER FROM The
STATE CAPITOL
BUDGET MEASURE WILL BE FIRST
OF BIG BILLS TO GET ACTION
IN LEGISLATURE.
FIRST BILL REPORTED IN SENATE
Bill Introduced TO Prohibit False Or
Deceptive Advertising BY Employers
Seeking New Employees.
BY william Lee Calnon.
Lansing, Mich.

Lansing, Mich.
The bill to establish budget sys-
tenn for the state of Michigan will ba
the first of the big measures OF the
year to get consideration in the legis-
lature. The last Legislature argued
through nearly it's whole session about
what kind of budget system to in
augurate and finally left the matter
to commission to be appointed by
the governor and to report it's find
ings TO this legislature.
The bill based on the report of this
commission was the first one intro
duced in the senate when the session
opened. The prospect is that some
sort of budget system will be estab-
lished, nearly every one being agreed
on the need of one. But agreement
stops there, and much argument is 60
ing on among legislators on what the
actual provisions of the bill should be.
AS result there probably will be
much debating Of every phase of the
proposed law,
However, the senate finance COM
mittee has decided to go ahead with
the matter and after several hearings
to report out the bill and give the argu-
ments a chance to start before the leg
islative calendar becomes crowded
with lot of other matters.

public places looking for violations.

secretary of state for conviction of
owners or drivers of cars of violations
of the law. The secretary of state al
