during debate on the diplomatic ap-
preparation bill, .hst he was in favor

the course of Ambassador Francis in
Russia by saying it came from mem
bers ignorant of conditions there.

other two years. He made enough
money out of selling powder during
the war TO fill this house with one
dollar bills, and he says our boys
wlii be needed to help tear down

If the Belgians and French want
the wire torn down, let them do il
Themselves. After we licked the Ger

Europe themselves. The most sensi-
bic thing President Wilson has said
was that he was going to bring those
soldiers home"

some means nay be found to return
the complete division at one time or
within a period CT one week, in order
that ell units may participate in the
grand review Of Major General O'Ryan's
division in New York City.
''lt would be pity" he said. "if the
New York State troops and the New
England troops could not be returned
at one time, IL order that New York
and Boston people may pay tribute to
their soldiers. And when the Rainbow
Division IS returned, since troops from
all the states are represented in it,
there should be Il rev,aw of the division
in New York and in W Washington also"
ne question o. available troop trans
ports is he chief item to BE- considered
in returning complete divisions to this
country. Il Is expected the Secretary
will soon take IN with General persh
ing the question of making special
efforts to embark at least the artillery
and infantry units of complete divi-
slons as near the same date as possible.
It probably will be suggested by Sec
rotary Baker that efforts be made by
General Pershng to concentrate at
Brest, st. Nazaire and Bordeaux combat
divisions that have been designated for
early convoy. Once concentrated, efforts
Will be made by the Transport Service
to maka available at these ports all the
