was signed. Units returning from
abroad are ordered automatically to
rehabilitation camps.
Secretary of War Baker said it was
hoped to get the flow of troops home
ward from Europe up to between 2OO,-
600 and 100000 a month. He could
not forecast definitely when the en-
tire army would be returned. He said
that with the alteration of thirty car

of the movement could be increased.

WAR MAY START ANEW
Drastic New Armistice Terms Indicate
Vital Change in Situation.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Central News
asserts that as a result of the allied
discussions in Paris the whole aspect
of rehabilitation has undergone
sudden and vital change, this being
shown in the drastic conditions de-
manded of Germany for a renewal of
the armistice.
"On authority Of an unimpeachable
character" it says, sit can be stated
that situation exists in Europe I'M
der which war may break out again
AZ any moment.
THE allied war council has arrived
at a decision which means that the
British people have mistaken the ap-
pearance of peace for reality. This
decision means that the new British
ministry must revise the whole scheme
of army rehabilitation.
THE decision is thar Great Britain
in proportion to its military strength,
must maintain an army of occupation
on the Rhine for many months. If
the rapid increase in rehabilitation
recently announced were continued,
there would in few months be no
army in France TO undertake the, OBJ
legations which, by common decision
of the allies, have been placed upon
British shoulders"

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE supreme council
after considering the matter of the
relations between the conference and
the press, decided to call a meeting
to be attended by the members of the
press of the allied and associated ma
tons in the conference to interchange
views on publicity methods.
This was announced in the official
statement of the session of the council,
which also gave out the information
that the Russian question had been
discussed and would be Jointly exam
ined later, after the various govern
mentS had exchanged their latest in
formation on the subject with each
other. The official communique reads ::
"The president of the United States
of America and the prime ministers
and foreign secretaries of the allied
powers, assisted by the japanese am
bassadors in Paris and London, met
at the Quay dOrsay.
'The question of the relations be-
tween the conference and the press
was first taken up. 1t was decided to
call Il meeting of the members Of the
press and the allied and associated
countries at the Press Club, so Avenue
DeS Champs Elysee, for the inter-
change of views as to the method to
be adopted.
"The meeting then took up the
question of the situation in Russia
and agreed that the governments

with a view to the joint examination
of the question:.
The supreme council, it developed
later, appointed committee TO dis
cuss the subject of publicity, and the
British and American correspondents
met separately in caucus to formulate
the position they would take at the
later conference with the councils

American newspaper men met in joint
caucus in an effort to harmonic their
plans.
