Washington. Jan. 17--Generaf Per-
sbing's original program of keeping 30
divisions in France as a basis of oper-
ations has never been altered to date,

OF Staff March's plan To get the other
soldiers home as rapidly as transpor-
tation can be provided.
Authorities here hope that the Amer

conference will tend to stabilize Eu-
rope, thereby relieving the situation of
tlie prospect of further military action.
Great Britain, apparently, is planning
to keep a considerable nucleus of an
army in France, lest. once discharged.
il should be difficult to mobilize new
one. In event of Russian or other mil
