GREAT CROWD OUT TO
HONOR THE SOLDIERS

The reception given the returned
soldiers and sailors by the members
Of the Josephine Chapter OF the Red
Cross at the courthouse last night
drew one OF the largest crowds that
ever assembled at the county build
ing, and was a success from every
viewpoint. The Red Cross chapter
has a way OF doing such things just
right and last night was no exception
TO the rule.
The evenings entertainment was
begun by the audience singing "My
Country 'Tis OF Thee followed by
"The Long, Long Trail" and several
other popular songs, with Mrs. Geo.
Sabin at the plano. General CONVEX
sation and linking" followed, after
which the orchestra struck up a IA
vorlte dance number and there was
n rush for partners. The exact num-
Der OF soldiers and sailors present
could not be learned today--some
placing the numbersat 100 and 9th
ers guessing about 200--but they
were conspicuous in their uniforms
among the 1000 or more people as
sembled
Dancing lasted until somewhat
after the midnight hour, and during
all this time the Red Cross ladies
were busy serving sandwiches, cof.
fee, ice cream and waters in the
spacious basement. The overly
crowded court house was vivid re-
minder that Grants Pass is sadly IN
need OF larger building for sucl
! public gatherings.

Washington, May 3.-Determina-
ton of President Wilson. indicated
in press advices from Paris, that no
American troops shall continue on
German soil for a longer period af-
ter the signing of the peace treaty
than may be necessary to embark
them for home, is borne out by pres
ent plans of the war department,
which contemplate the return of the
entire American expeditionary force
by September. Because Of this Gem
eral March. chief of staff, is making
every effort to speed up the demobi-
lization in this country.
An official announcement issued
today as to the accumulation of sur
plus clothing for the troops stated
that the estimates were based on
troop Withdrawals to be completed
in September"
The September date represents es-
Inmates by embarkation official as to
the maximum possible speed in with
drawing the entire force in Europe,
including the troops holding the
Coblenz bridgehead sector on the
Rhine. II anything, officers believe
the movement will be accelerated
rather than retarded. The schedule
has been exceeded recently and in
increasing measure from week to
week. with an indicated monthly
movement of 100000 men, the best
predictions of General March and
his aides. bid fair, 1t was said, to be
more than realized.
General March returned today
from a personal inspection of de-
mobilization centers in the south
eastern department. At each camp
the chief Of staff checked up the
semi-permanent rehabilitation per-
sonnel at the camps in an effort to
reduce the number OF men who are
being held in the service for this
work.
Officers recently returned from
France say the "6wo bottle necks"
through which practically the entire
movement must pass, the embarka-
tion camp at Brest and the debar-
kation stations at Hoboken, are now
operating at remarkable speed.
Washington, May 3.-Only about
S5 per cent of the more than $4,000
men composing the 42nd (Rainbow)
division, as it returned from France,
were members Of the original divi-
sion as organized at Camp Mills, N.
Y. Practically all of these men. it
was learned today, have been wound
ed or otherwise incapacitated during
the months of service. They had
been returned from the hospitals and
rest camps to the division and when
1t received orders for home, a spe-
cial effort was made by the division
staff to get together all the original
Rainbow personnel who had sur
vived the rigors Of the campaign.

rived yesterday at Newport News.

MALADY AMONG WESTERN
HORSES

An outbreak of what is commonly
called the kansas horse disease has
taken place in western Kansas and
eastern Colorado within recent weeks.
causing the loss of several hundred
horses, With the temperance of this
malady. which veterinarians designate
as forage poisoning, or cerebrospinal
meningitis, representatives of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry and the Col
orado Agricultural College began a
vigorous campaign, which it is be-
lieved has effectively checked the cpl
demic. The fact that in the outbreak
of 1912 Kansas lost some &c. 600 horses
indicates the serious possibilities of
such an occurrence and the value of
speedy protective measures such as
the Federal and State experts have
taken.
The cause of this disease is not def
nitely known, but it is believed to be
due to eating some form of fungous
growth. In response to questions In
behalf of farmers and others whose
animals have been stricken, the 8u-
reau &C Animal Industry has sent out
number of kilograms informing own
ers that work horses in the afflicted
areas should not be permitted to Craze
and as far as possible they should re-
ceiTe only hay and grain rations from
last years crops. Horses in pastures
should be removed to barns or dry
feed lots. and should likewise be fed
only hay and grain rations from last
years crop.
