LABOR DEPARTMENT YOUNG SOLDIERS
URGES SETTLEMENT TO RELEASE OLD
CBy Review Leased wire)

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The regulations
governing the armies of occupation
are dealt with in an official statement
issued tonight by Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary of war The state
ment says:
The British military commanders
are of the opinion that $780, 900 men are
sufficient for this transition period.
All the rest will be demobilized as fast
as possible.
The new armies will begin forming
February l and will be composed in
the first instance, of those who have
enlisted since January l, 1916, and
who do not exceed 81 years of age.
Volunteers will be accepted for one
years service from among men other
wise entitled to release, while SO bat
talions of young soldiers now on home
service will be sent Immediately to
help guard the Rhine bridgeheads and
release the older men.
''The men of the new armies will
be paid bonuses ranging from ten
shillings and six pence per week for
privates, to AZ shillings for colonel,
in addition to the ordinary army pay.
Leave will be granted on as generous
a scale as possible.
These arrangements seem to be
the best devisable for the year 1919.
During this year, however, we must
remake the old British regular army,
so as to provide, on voluntary basis,
overseas garrisons and foreign sta.
tions."
In connection with the foregoing the
ministry of labor announced that no
! further application for release Of in
dividual officers or men on pivotal OF
special grounds can be considered.

Decentralization as applied to the
captured German colonies, notwith-
standing energetic protests from the
representatives of the dominions, says

These protests" says the cor

give the greatest encouragement to
the rebel element in South Africa,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Early ac-
ton on legislation to adjust war con-
tract controversies was urged today
by the department of labor, in a state
ment showing that the labor surplus
in many industrial centers had re-
ceiyed rapidly in the last ten days.
Plants heretofore engaged in war
work were said not to be changing
back 70 peace activities rapidly
enough to hold their proper portion
of labor The cancelling of war con-
tracts with no provision for an early
financial adjustment of the manufac-
turers' investment in war machinery,
materials and partially completed pro-
ducts, was blamed for plunging some
concerns into q state bordering on
stagnation, with no certainty as to
their working capital.
The department OF labor's investi-
cation of ways and means to stimulate
building and improvements and aug
ment the absorption of labor in in
dustry, disclosed these two important
ways of getting results" the state
ment says:
"One-legislation enabling the build
ing and loan associations OF the coun-
try to use their real estate mort
cages for collateral in system of
federal home loan banks.
"Two-legislation to authorize i'm
mediate adjustment and payment by
the government of reasonable claims
growing out of the summary rescind-
ing of war contracts.
The former would permit home
n
$4,000, 100000 in loans; the latter
would provide much needed immediate
capital for manufacturing"
The statement added that a pro-
posed law on the first recommendation
soon would be in congress. Legisla-
tion on the latter now is pending.
