Weds Girl Just
Before he was to
Sail for America

Winchester, England, May 8. -
One husky Michigan lad now at the
camp missed his chance to get away
with the last shipload of unmarried
men by making a sudden entry into
the matrimonial state. A day or
two before his transport was to sail
he was spending the afternoon with
an American girl he had met in Win
chester. She was from Patterson,
n. j., and he called her Jersey"
well, this is goodbye" he said
as he was about to return to camp.
Thinking of home dimmed the
girls eyes. Gee, wish 1 was going
tool" she exclaimed.
You mean that, Kid said the
big Middle Westerner.
Il sure do" she replied.
Touched by her tears, he made a
quick decision. "All right, come
along with me-" he said, seizing her
arm. He knew where a special Ii
cense could be obtained, and a few
hours later they were man and wife.
In telling the correspondent of his
romance, the soldier remarked: IT
wouldn't leave a dog on this side
that good old Statue of Liberty" He
meant no disrescpect to his bride.
A special canteen for these home
ward bound soldiers has been estab-
lished at Morn Hill by the American
Red Cross.

Strength of New
German Army is
Fixed at 241,500

With the American Army of Occu-
patton, May 3.-The strength of the
new German army or Reichswehr
has Professionally been fixed at 241,-
500 men, according to information
recently reaching American officers
in charge of keeping tab on the de-
mobilization and readjustment of
enemy forces. There are to be six
teen large and eleven small brigades,
the large brigades have 10,462 men
each and the small brigades $3.50
men each. Corps troops are to num-
Der 5,458 and General Headquarters
troops about 10000 men, according
to the present plans.
Now that the 1899 class of the
old German army is rapidly being
discharged from all units excepting
q few in the guard corps and on the
eastern front, there soon will remain
in the garrisons throughout Ger
many only two classes of troops
the new and Independent volunteer
units and the volunteer remnants of
the old army units. Some of the
volunteer tenants have been plan
ming to combine with the new in
dependent volunteer units for the
Reichswehr, but in many other in
stances it IS apparent they are sim
ply drifting, awaiting some decision
by the War Ministry as to their fut-
ure. Reports that the War Ministry
is planning to maintain small garri-
sons in every town indicate the pos
sibility that these remnants are to
remain in the old departments.
rather than be transferred into the
new volunteer units.

CONTINUE HUNT
FOR SENDERS OF
BOMBS IN MAILS
Federal Agents Have Several
Radicals Under
Suspicion

New York, May 3.-Agents of the
Department of Justice, post office
inspectors and New York detectives
under Inspector Faurot continued
to-day their hunt for the anarchists
who deposited in the mails more
than score of deadly dynamite
bombs addressed to prominent men
in all parts of the country, but no
arrests have been made thus far. 1t
was intimated, however, that several
radicals were under suspicion.
Details of the progress made in
the inquiry were not disclosed on the
ground that undue publicity might
enable the reds sought to escape.
Captain II. d. Trounce, explosives
expert of the Bureau of Mines, ar
rived here yesterday from Washing
ton. With experts of the police and
fire departments he made a close
examination of the bombs. 1t was
found that the dynamite used in
them was of the ordinary CONNER
cial variety, but that it had been
soaked in nitrogylcerine to make it
more deadly.
The bombs which have not yet
been examined were hastily removed
from the post office yesterday when
it was discovered that the acid in
the phials designed to explode fulmi-
nate of mercury caps, was eating
through the corks, threatening an
explosion.
Officers at work on the case are
virtually convinced the internal ma
chimes were made in this city. They
expressed satisfaction at their sue
cess in finding the plant which
manufactured the paper use as q
covering for the bombs. Only a
small quantity of the paper has
been distributed and it may be pos
sible to trace the assassins by-means
of it.
1t was said there appeared to be
no connection between the bomb
conspiracy and the finding of a guam
tity of explosives in a house in West
45th street raided by government
agents seeking narcotics illegally
held.

TROOPS RETURN
FROM ENGLAND
Morn Hill Is Clearing Station
for Homecoming
YankS

Winchester, Eng, May 3.-Morn
Hill, one of the huge military res
ervations on the heights overlooking
this picturesque old city, is again
an American camp. During the war
it was the principal assembly ground
the way to the war. Now it is the
clearing station for thousands of
battle-worn Americans who are on
the way home. They are the men
who fought with the British forces.
All the far-flung armies of the
empire are contributing to this as
Semblage. The Americans are COM
ing chiefly from France and the oc-
cupation forces in Germany, but
large numbers are making longer
journeys. Some have served in Pal
estine, some in Egypt, some in South
Africa and others in India. Many
are still in the East and others are
with the British forces in various
parts of Russia. 1t is reckoned that
it will be six or eight months be-
fore all can be brought to England.
Meantime, as fast as the Ameri-
cans arrive in this country they are
sent to Winchester and put through
the process of rehabilitation and
repatriation. Other camps here are
being used to comb out Colonials
who served with the English instead
Of with their own armies.
The majority of the Americans
who joined the British forces en-
listed in Canada. Most of these are
to be sent back, not to the point of
enlistment, but to their homes in
the States stipulation that was gen.
orally insisted upon by Americans
when they volunteered their serv-
ices.
Repatriation machinery turn slow
ly and there are often considerable
delays, as it frequently happens that
q soldier arrives at the camp weeks
before his papers filter through the
devious channels in which they
move. 1t is only by his papers that
n mans identity can be officially
established. Great care is exercised
in this matter for, in the British
army, there have been many instan-
ces of soldiers exchanging names
and identification disks.
If an American serving with a
British regiment wished to remain
in England and n British comrade
wanted to go to America, it would
he easy enough, it was pointed out
to the correspondent, for them to
swap names and disks, and If the
real Tommy was we'll coached and
did not drop too many of his his"
the scheme might succeed.
After repatriation, the Americans
are sent home as soon as transports
can be provided at Southampton,
which is only u dozen miles away.
Special sailings are arranged for the
soldiers who are taking wives back
with them.
