made, General March said, so that
never again will the United States be
caught inadequatcly supplied with
ships to transport troops and supplies.
VIII Keep German Liners
The President. said General March,
in reply to questions by Representative
Kearns, of Ohio, has decided upon the
retention Of the big German ships, and
detailed announcement to that effect
will be made soon. Incidentally, Gen
cral March Indicated, this retention of
ships will be one means by which the
United States will be paid for the YES
sells destroyed by German submarines.
While General March declined to give
the names Of any Of the ships, it is felt
sure that the Leviathan will be among
those retained.
The War Departments plans, Gen
eral March said, were to keep in the
War Department service continuously
only such ships as were actually
needed TO army transport work The
rcma indcr he said, would constitute a
sort of reserve to be leased to privat e
corporations for commercial purposes
with the express provision that they
might be taken over by the War De-
partment in case of any emergency.
Will Be Used for Commerce

Re-es'abiishes Headquarters
of A. E. +. III Washington;
Spends Half Holiday at
Track Meet and Ball Game
Cheered at Every Turn
Closes Day With Quiet
Dinner AT Home of Sen.
Warren. His Faiher-in-Law

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-With his
headquarters as Chief of the American
Expedtonary Forces reastablished in
Washington after more than two years
in France, General Pershing promptly
joined in the Saturday half-holiday to-
day and went to a track meet and a
baseball game. He and his immediate
staff spent hours in the open air under
perfece weather conditions, in sharp
contrast to the rush and hustle of
their hours in New York and Philadel-
phia.
Tonight the general completed the
celebration OF this dua event. For him
his return and his ffty-ninth birth
day. at quiet family dinner at the
Warren, of Wyoming.
The only official events Of General
Pershing's first full day back in the
city, which probably is to be hereafter
virtually his permanent home as rank
ing officer Of the army, were his brief
conference with Secretary Baker and
his inspection of the Offices set apart
For him, where the affairs of the
American fXpeditionary Forces are to
20 wound up.
Hailed Eagerly
He was eagerly hailed throughout the
day whenever he was recognized on the
streets or elsewhere. but the most
tumultuous greeting given him was at
the War Department, where clerks
fairly mobbed him, clnging to his
sleeves and thrusting eager hands to
greet him. The General fought his
way through manfully. but smilingly
-
warmth Of tn reception by these fellow
workers.
There was a conspiracy among
officials and fellow officers to let the
returned soldier off very lightly. He
has been the centre Of receptions
parades and other functions for weeks
and in their opinion has earned a
rest Ahead of him looms his most
significant parade-the mach up Penn
: head of the 1st Division. Until then
his comrades-in-arm here are deter
mined not to tresspass on his time.
Official Call on Baker
General Pershing's conference with
MI Baker was merely an official call
1t was brief, but later he Joined Mr.
Baker at an interdepartmenta track
meet. He was glad, Mr.. Baker said to
the crowd that filled the big stadium
and heartedly cheered General Pcrsh-
ing on his arrival, that the hundreds
of Federal employees in the stands
should have this opportunity to sec
"the knightly figure of the man who
enbodies for us all that army for
which we have worked"
From the stadium general Pershjng
went to the bali park, where General
March awaited him, and hundreds Of
men from the LIST Division stood at
salute as he entered the box
Again good American cheers and
hand clapping greeted him. The gen
eral watched the game until the Wash
1ngton pitcher pluckily pulled himself
out Of hole in the fifth. There was
more cheering as he led his staff back
to the hotel
No ceremonies have been planned for
General Pershing tomorrow or until
the parade Wednesday, He is back on
the JOB and Washington does not view
him as visitor, but distinguished
fellow townsman
There was some comment to day over

General March said. "The army re-
organization bill carries the provis-
ions that the War Department may
take over complete control of the
vessels Immediately upon declaration
of war"
General March also told the com
mttee that the War Department plans
practically a complete motorzation Of
the army. For that reason he said,
the general staff has decided on the
continuance of the Motor Transport
Corps as separate unit.
"The army mule is fast disappear
ing, as is the spirited cavalry horse
that has figured in American battles
for nearly 100 years" said General
March. THE place Of the mule is
being taken by motor trucks, while
tractors ar being used for the artil-
lcry. We plan completely to motorize
the heavy field artillery, as well as
the light artillery, as was done u
some extent by the expeditionary
force"

Fraudulently Enlisted

War Department Issues a New
Rule on Boys Under ID
Who Nisstate Age

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Youths
who conceal their minority when en-
listing in the army and reach the age
of eighteen while serving will not be
discharged. the War Department ruled
to-day in new orders affecting fraudu-
lent and erroneous enlistments.
Fraudulent enlistment is efine as that
of youth who states in his enlist
ment papers that he is over eighteen
years of age. when in fact he is less
than eighteen. Erroneous enlistment
of minor is the acceptance Of youth
notwithstanding that he states his age
to be under eighteen years.
"A minor fraudulently enlisting and
remaining in service after attaining
legal age Of enlistment. or age beyond
which parental consent is not re-
quired," said the War Department
order, thereby validates his enlist
ment and will not be discharged

the fact that the general wore no

the Distinguished Service Cross. nor
the prescribed chevrons on his sleeves.
An explanation was quickly forthcom-
ing at the department. While it is

Pcrshlng, because of his rank. is not
subject TO such regulations AS gen.
eral in the regular establishment he

9Th Veterans Flock
To Bureau for Jobs

Rapid rehabilitation of the Nth
Division is having its effects at the
offices of the divisions employment
bureau, 280 Madison Avenue. Gordon
L. Sawyer, assigned by the Federal
Employment Service to assist the New
York troops in finding jobs, said yes
terday that the influx of men dis
charged from Camp Upton in the last
few days had already begun. AS the
division is seeking to place 5000 of its
men, Mr. Sawyer looks for steadily
Increasing number OF applicants.
There is great call from employers,
said Mr.. Sawyer, for bushelmen, press
ers, automobile body painters, house
painters, photographers, compositors
and jewellers. The bureau is finding
much difficulty in supplying these men,
for the division lacks members trained
in those trades.
Lack of men skilled III the manufac-
ture of jewelry is particularly marked.
Manufacturers are contemplating the
establishment of school wherein to
train young men.
Mr.. Sawyer was informed by 81
manufacturer of automobile parts and
accessories at Elmira, n. Y, that he has
room for 500 machinists. toolmakers
and others of allied trades. He will
accept 100 unskilled ex-soldiers and
will teach them the trade.
The dissemination of many appI-
cants to accept positions outside of
New York was emphasized by Mr.,
Sawyer.

Turning of Hose on
"Objectors'' Justified
By Official Report


WASHINGTON, May 10.--When con-
scientious DIRECTORS refuse to work
and continue boisterous conduct at
night in their cells at Fort Leaven-
worth disciplinary barracks, they are
"wetted down" with a fire hose, the
War Department announced to-day in
making public a report on disciplinary
action taken against twenty-six prison
ers on April IS.
Captain Charles w. Jones, who per-
Iuitted the "wetting down" of the pris-
oners, did not exceed his disciplinary
powers, according to the following re-
port made to the department to-day:
son the night of April %, and after
the time at which the regulations re-
quired lights be put out and prisoners
to be in bed and be quiet, a number of
men continued to make noise by talk
ing loudly, walking up and down in
their cells, talking to members Of the
adjoining cells and making sufficient
noise to interfere with the sleeping of
other prisoners. The guards ordered
them to keep quiet and go to bed. They
refused to obey and were insubordinate
and impudent.
Captain Jones ordered the water
turned on through a small garden hose
This failed to produce the desired re-
suits, upon which the fire hose was
turned on the cell. After five or six min
utes the prisoners Quoted down and re-
manned quiet the rest of the night. AL
though several prisoners caught cold,
nc other injury or sickness resulted.
"The wetting down with hose is a
recognized form of dealing with riot
Gus and mutinous groups
