Three Transports and Two Passenger Liners Bring
Soldiers From Many States Back to America;
Relief Workers Among Those on the Lorraine

Three transports and the French
liner La Lorraine brought home from
France yesterday 9,444 officers and
men. The Cunard liner Arduna brought
twenty eight English brides of Amer-
cans.
The first of the steamships to come
into port was the transport Maui, with
3644 officers and men, most of whom
were from the 146th Infantry of the
37th Division assembled in Ohio
She had bucked her way across the
Atlantic through stiff gales from the
Northwest, accompanied by heavy head
seas, which made many of her soldier
travellers seasick. On Friday while
steaming at reduced speed the look
out sighted derelict to the southwest,
and the Maui at once bore down upon
it.
The transport had taken the south
ern route to avoid storms and cold
weather, and was about 230 miles
northeast of Bermuda when the dere-
lict was sighted. A signal of distress
was flying and the Mau's master
thought there might be some of the
crew still aboard. Volunteers were
called for to go out to her.
Lieutenant Everett II. Sanderlin, the
navigating officer, volunteered, and
with eighteen men got away in life
boat with much difficulty. His trip
through the seas was a great attrac-
ton for the troops on board, and many
seasick men came up on deck to watch
the battle of the lifeboat with the
combers.
Hundreds Of soldiers lined the Maui s
decks and cheered the scamen.
No Life on Derelict
After strenuous pull of nearly an
hour the volunteer crew got aboard
the schooner, but found no sign of
life From the appearance of the
craft it was apparent that she had
been in collision. A battered life
boat showed signs of attempts to re-
pair it,
The transport Siboney, which left St.
Nazaire on March 90, followed the
Maui up the bay and landed 3,297 Of
ficers and men, most of them members
of the 91st (Wild WesD Division.
They included detachments of the 363d
and 364th Infantry drawn from Califor-
MIA, w ashington, Oregon. Nevada, Utah,
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska.
They left America early in July in
command of Major General William II.
Johnston and went into action in the
first American offensive at st. Mihiel
and in the Argonne, where they were
relieved October 4.

Parole Commission
Finds Use of Drugs
Here Is Growing
Advent of Prohibition Is En-
pected Greatly TO Increase
the Difficulty of Work of
Eradicating the EVIL

It was intimated by the Parole Com
mission o. this city, in its annual re-
port, published yesterday, that the ad
vent Of national prohibition VIII result
in a great increase in the use Of drugs
In commenting upon the excellent
progress made among those committed
for drunkenness the commissions re-
port says: AT the present time one
cannot reflect long on this matter with
out being struck by the unfortunate
coincidence that just as the drink evil
is growing less, addiction to habit
forming drugs Is growing greater
The latest figures, according to the
report, show that .there are 1900 0C0
drug addicts throughout the United
States, and 100000 are said to be in
New York City. The most common
drugs used are heroin, morphine, CO.
caine and their derivatives.
As an example Of the rapid growth
Of this evil the commission cites the
figures collated BY Representative
Rainey, of Illinois, which show that
there were $4,000 drug addicts in the
first draft, not a few of women deliber-
ately cultivated the drug habit to es-
cape draft In New York City list
of 5000 men between the ages of
twenty-one and thirty-one who are drug
addicts has been established.
The care of drug addcts who are
taken in charge by police authorities
or who voluntarily surrender to the
Parole Commission through the Board
of Health has met with fattering sue
cess. The addicts are segregated on
Riker's Island and are provided with a
programme of work, sleep and play
which, with good food, invariably
effects at least a temporary cure. Nc
addict is released until a home and en-
ployment have been found for him
The average population at Riker's
Island is 1900 addicts, and they arc
constantly coming and going.
The commission outlines the pro
gramme it prepared to meet the prob
lens of the social evil, which were
grave and multiform during the war

Intcrned in Austria
Miss Maud Burke, OF this city, who
had been appearing with Hungarian
him company, returned on the Lor-
ralne, after having been prisoner in
Austria throughout the war. She said
she visited an intcrnment camp at
Alaga, where $50 American and British
prisoners were detained. Reports of
brutality at the camp caused the Span
lsh Embassy to Investigate, and when
the investigators called at the camp
they found that the prisoners had gone
to the races
Among others on the Lorraine were

WASHINGTON, March 81. - Will
Hays, chairman of the Republican
National Committed arrived here to-
day to confer with Republican leaders
of the House in an effort to straif hten
the serious split threatened between
the two groups led by Representative
James Il. Mann, of Illinois, and Speak
er-elect Frederick II. Gillett, of Massa-
chusetts. Tonight Mr. Hays held an
informal conference with men associ-
ated with the Gillett contingent. To-
morrow he will confer with Represen-
tative Frank w. Mondell, of Wyoming,
selected by the Republican Committee
on committees for majority leader of
the next house, and others associated
with Mr.. Mann.
Chairman Hays's particular job here
now is to effect some compromise be-
tween the two factions, which will pre-
vent continuing split in the partv in
the next House
/ his probably will take the shape of
a strong recommendation to the Mann
iofces that they accent the proposa!

Three thousand men of the nth

Havek Wants TO Get Back

The appeal of the War Department
for $4,000 men for overseas service
was met in New York City and vicinity
yesterday by the compiling of new
record for the daily number OF enlist
ments during peace time. Only in the
most crucial days of the war during
last March, when Hjndenberg's forces
were knocking on the doors of Paris,
were yesterdays figures exceeded. The
total was scores higher than the daily
average for the war 1t is estimated
that 500 men applied in the metropoli-
tan district, which includes Newark
and Jersey City.
Former army captains and lieuten-
ants. office boys out of work, American
and Canadian war heroes and high
school youths in search of adventure
were included in the steady stream
which surged through the west side
recruiting headquarters at 461 Eighth
Avenue. Of 100 men examined there,
so per cent were accepteds which is
considered BY Major Cochran, in charge
of the office, and twentysix years a
regular army man, 10 be an eXcep-
tionally fine record, and indicative of
the type of men applying.
All Want to 90 Abroad
Official notification of the War De-
partment's appeal for volunteers was
received at the recruiting offices yes
terday, enablng the commanders to
make definite promises of immediate
overseas service to all applicants. This
was enthusiastically received by scores
of discharged soldiers with months of
intensive training, but deprived OF
foreign service by the signing of the
larmistice.
At o'clock in the afternoon Ser
geant Thomas Higgins, at the inter
viewing desk Of the West Side Head
quarters, was certain that no applicant
could surprise him with a recital of his
war experience and earning capacity
He had interviewed men decorated at
Chateau Thierry, and accountants paid
s12 day. He scarcely looked up
therefore when dapper, bronzed civil
ian mildly requested him to fill in
"eighteen" on the dotted line reserved
for years of previous service" The
sergeant, as per the enlistment blank
inquired concerning the applicants
rank when discharged.
He Was Captain Once
IL was captain stationed at Camr
Wadsworth," the recruit responded.
He gave his name as John H. Haucll
$40 West 147th Street. He explained
that he had been sergeant of rcgu
lars for seventeen years On July is
1913, he said, he was commissioned 1
second lieutenant of a stevedore com
pany. On July 20 his efficient service
earned him captaincy. He was dis
charged on the rehabilitation of his
company, on January is.

army made the examiners look with

Lieutenant Colonel j. A. Driscoll,
divisional intelligence officer, told of
their exploits.
"The 9lst Division advanced eight
miles into the enemy territory,' he
said, "crossing three organized trench
systems in the Argonne. More than
1850 prisoners We're taken, together
with about 400 machine guns, to say
nothing Of artillery, tanks or lesser
material. The division lost about 1,16O
officers and men killed and 5000
wounded
Immediately after the Argonne we
were ordered by Marshal Foch to pro-
ceed to Belgium, detraining at Ypres,
and becoming part OF the Group of
Armies of Flanders under the com
mand of the King of Belgium. We
were at once put in the front line and
took part in the Ypres-Lys offensive,
with the French on one side and the
british on the other.

Greens Give Growth.

People get hungry for greens in the
springtlme just az they are anxious to
eat fresh eggs. Peoples appetites
are quite often absolutely correct in
selecting what their system needs
Greens not only supply valuable
roughage in diet; but they also give
a growth not to be obtained from
wheat, corn, beans or any other seed.
Of course, everybody has been told
repeatedly by the family physician
that greens are rich in minerals and
therefore good for ones health. Now
the scientists have found in leaves
and other green foods a peculiar sub
stance which they call fiat soluable
A.. This same substance which pro-
notes growth is also found in CON
centrated form in butter and the
yolks of eggs. A number of interest
ing experiments have been made and
others are now in progress at the
Kentucky Experiment Station in the
value of this substance in producing
growth IL 'y0ung chickens and young
fats.
