Washington, Feb. 25.-President
Wilson arrived in Washington at 5
o'clock this morning from Boston
where he landed yesterday from the
transport George Washington. Be-
cause of the early hour he and Mrs.
Wilson remained on their special
train some time before going to the
White House.
No Formal Reception
At the request OF the President
there was no formal reception at the
station, but a large crowd was on
hand when Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson left
their private car and walked through
the station to awaiting automobiles.
President Wilson left the train at
$40 o'clock and drove to the White
House. Passing through the station
with brisk step Mr.. Wilson found
a cheering early morning crowd of
travellers awaiting him. He acknowl-
edged the applause by lifting his hat
and smiling. Many scores of soldiers
in the crowd stood rigidly at atten-
ton as the commander-in-c chief
passed by.
On reaching his desk the Presi-
dent briskly set to work on matters
requiring his attention which had
been accommodating since he left Paris
ten days ago. The more important

TROOPS OF 18TH

BEFORE JUNE |
McAndrews Gives Orders For
Demobilization of Keystone
Boys With Other Yanks
By Associated Press

Paris, Feb. 25.- Nearly 500, 900
men of the American Expeditionary
Force will, before July 1, either
have returned to the United States
or be homeward bound, according to
the plans of the general staff an
nounced in a general order by Briga-
dier General James w. McAndrew,
chief of staff, to-day. The eth, 8th
and 91st divisions will sail in March;
the 26th, 77th. S2nd, 35th and 42nd
in April; the 32nd, 2Sth, 33rd. S0th
and SSth in May and the S9th, go,
29th and 18th in June.
German shipping. which now be-
comes available, will be used in the
repatriation of the troops. The or
der of precedence of their return
is based on the order of their arri-
val. The only exceptions to this
ruling will be when the advisa bility
of rail and sea transportation, the
relative location to ports or the con-
trolling military situation makes the
exception necessary.
Troops in the service of supply
and labor troops will be returned
be spared and so far as possible in
the order of their arrival in France.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Announce-
ment by General Pershing's chief of
staff that eighteen National Guard
and National Army divisions were
scheduled to sail from France be-
fore July /, apparently confirms re-
ports which have been current here
that the expeditionary forces were to
be reduced to a total strength of
three hundred thousand by the end
of the current fiscal year.
Calculations in the various war
department bureaus, it is said, have
been based upon three hundred
thousand strength in figuring on the
maintainence of the army abroad
after July l.
The announcement from France
indicates that in addition to the
seven regular divisions now in
France and into which presumably
men desiring to remain temporarily
are being transferred, the American
forces after July will include the
18th and S1st National Army and
one other division.
This would give a nine division
strength for the combat forces and
allow one division for employment
as depot unit.
While the statement from Paris
named only eighteen divisions all
others now in France except the
seven regular and fourteen National
Guard and National Army divisions
already are on priarity for early re-
turn or have been skeletonized and
are returning as casuals.

hundred, had up until this time
taken little interest in the proceed
ings. Suddenly, as Gov
ernor f. f. Beidleman announced
that the next bill for consideration
was the joint resolution ratifying
the national prohibition amend
ment, the steady hum of conversa-
ton was hushed and an air of
strained interest succeeded.
1T had been expected that an ef-
fort would be made to delay the
passage of the measure for at least
week, but the bill was brought to
vote without u Mitch and with
no debating.
Senator Ware made a statement
Immediately before the vote. in
which he said that he intended to
vote for the measure, not because
he was opposed to the use of liquor,
moderately. but because the measure
under consideration was already a
law.
Senator Snyder Blair. a dry"
who had prepared a speech in case
the vets attempted to debate,
filed the statement instead of de-
livering it on the floor, after it
was evident that no effort would be

SEC. WILSON'S PLAN FOR
SERVICE MEN URGED

A writer in the forthcoming issue
of the Monthly Labor Review of the
Department of Labor takes a posi-
ton in favor of Secretary Of Labor
Wilson's idea Of alternate emplox-
ment" and the placing of returni{
service men on all kinds of land, as
against the project of Secretary of
the Interior Lane for placing the men
only on farm land. The Wilson poll
icy is said to be not limited to farm
lands, but includes the other nat
eral lands. Secretary Wilson has
specific plans for each of these. Agri-
cultural lands should be developed in
community units composed Of ready
made farms. The control of the land
in each colony should be held in pub
lie hands, SO as to cut out specula-
tion No land should be classified
for farming. on which the settler can
not make a profitable living above
all expenses. 1t is asserted.
Land not meeting this test, accord
ing to Secretary Wilson, can general
ly be used for growing forests: These
sho1d be handled through methods of
tiYnbe. culture, not timber mining"
and permanent forest communities Of
workers should replace temporary
logging camps Of hoboes. Likewise,
well equipped mining communities
should replace mining camps" and
both Industries shoE-d be operated
under public control to insure profita-
BILE employment to the worker. The
plan is best comprehended in a biIi
introduced in Congress by Repre-.
sentative NJ. Clyde Kelly of Pennsyl.
vania.
soldiers on reclaimed lands was to
be carried out by q bill introduced by
Representative Taylor of Colorado.
This plan embodies only distribution
of public lands for farming pur-
poses to the returning service men.

land, as contemplated by the Secre.
tary of Labor, the article in the Labor
Review points out
