Thursday evening, May %,
Electra will be presented in
front Of Wolf Hall by the Foot
lights Club Of Delaware College and
the Dramatic Club Of the Women s
College Of Delaware. Tickets for
the play are now on sale.
Wolf Hall is the most appro-
pirate setting one could find for a
Greek play. The simple but ma
jestic lines Of the building will
blend into a fitting background,
while the platform in front Of it is
ideally suited for the play. The
stone terrace is on three levels and
is about fortX-two feet square. On
the narrow platform nearest the
building will be the butt. On this

and the second terrace most OF the
action will take place. The altar
will be on the fagstones on the level
with the walk, and there chorus
will dance and sing. The middle
balcony over the door will serve as
cloud in which the god appears
in blaze Of light. In fact the
whole location could scarcely have
been more perfect if it had been
designed especially for the play.
The story of the play is as fol

her husband on his return from the
Trojan War, and married the
usurping king. Her infant son is
carried to safety by a faithful ser,

All the great German liners and the

passenger steamers, including the huge

Atlantic route to transport American
troops homeward under the agree

among them in accordance with the
needs Of the various nations. Only
some of the smaller steamships are
left to the Germans.
Britain to Take Smaller Ships
The allotment of the steamers
among the associated powers will be
governed partly by the respective
needs of the nations and partly by
the suitability of the steamers for use
on particular routes. The giant liners
like the Imperator and the otherebg g
modern steamers finished during the
war are too deep in draught to pass
through the Suez Canal. Hence Great
Britain will take the moderate sized
steamers for the Australian service.

Of all kinds which has followed the

The propaganda is more extensive
than ever before. and includes pro-

PARIS, Jan According to one re.

said:
Il read this morning telegram

stated that Pr ident Wilson saw him

ply of President Wilson when I showed

Without discussing the question of
whether The Tribune dispatch was cor
rectly quoted in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties, and without going more into de-
tails Of the situation between Presi-
dent Wilson and other members of the
peace conference than already has been
done in previous dispatches. | should
like to add that have received further
confirmation to-day that Mr. Wilson is
greatly disillusionized at finding to
what extent the attitude OF some dele
gates appears to vary from that which
he had hoped to meet in Europe.
Can't Carry All Ideals
According to my informant Mr. Viii
son has not been entirely disheartened,
and will fight with all the persuasion
at his command to obtain the adoption
of his views. Nevertheless, he already
sees the impossibiity Of realizing all
his ideals.
The President, il he were not in
foreign country, would like 70 submit
all questions at issue between himself
and others to the judgment of public
opinion. He feels that he cannot. in
his present position, without discour-
tesy, appeal directly TO public opinion.
but he intends, as soon as he reaches
America, fully TO reveal to Americans
Information which he does not feel en-
titled to withhold.
Meanwhile the President can do lit
tic but acquiesce on questions where
the general opinion of the conference
cverwheims him.

tiations was agitated at meeting of

March Says Men Who Are
Not Absolutely Needed
viii Return From France

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The Amer
lean forces in France and in the oc-
cupled territory of Germany are to be
reduced to the minimum strength "con-
sistent with our national Obligations"
General March, chief of staff. an
nounced to-day. He added that Gen
eral Foch had been informed of this
policy by General Pershing.
What strength is to be maintained is
under discussion now by American mil
ltary officials and the Allied military
leaders. No report has been received
indicating the number of divisions to
be supplied by. the United States, but
General March was positive that it
would be far less than the thirty di-
visions given in unofficial reports as
the probable American military con-
tribution
Will Keep Force Needed
The American force for the occupied
zone was fixed by international agree
ment at the time the armistice was
signed. General March said Marshal
Foch undoubtedly would refuse to
permit reduction of his total strength
to a point where it would be made
quate to handle any possible dis
turbance
Demobllization of all army units in
the United States has been ordered,
General March announced, with the eX-
ception of the regular army regiments
needed for camp guard purposes and
various detachments necessary to con-
tinue the rehabilitation process. The
total now listed for Rehabilitation is
l,177,O0C.
10f, 600 Men Back Home
The troops actually returned from
France for rehabilitation now number
100000. This gives a grand total or
dered discharged of 1881 900, of whom
768, ,626 men and 81, ,593 officers have
been discharged TO date.
The rate Of discharge again is near
ing the maximum capacity of 1000 men
a camp q day, after an Interruption of
the holidays.
In addition to the regular regiments,
the exceptions from the blanket de-
mobilization order include the cavalry
on the Southern border, coast artillery
troops in the coast defences. detach-
ments at ports and the medical per-
sonnel. This last force now mum
bers $4,000, but General March said
it would be reduced gradually as the
number of men it had to care for was
reduced
Wounded Men Aided
Comparing the American method Of
ton with the French, General
March called attention to the fact that
the French army was being broken I'D
by service classes. Within the classes
the only priority given is according TO
the number of children dependent upon
the soldier for support. the men with
four or ave children being given first
considerations.
Newspaper comment in France, Cen
eral March said, indicated that the
French government WAS having the
same difficulty with public opinion over
slow rehabilitation rs had been ex-
perienced in England.
Surgeon General Ireland's attention
having been called to published re-
port that wounded soldiers undergoing
reconstruction instruction were forced
