Only Workers Admitted.

Only workers will be admitted to
this meeting and tickets will be fur
nished by team captains. Those in
tending to volunteer, therefore, are
urged not to postpone their enroll
ment too long.
Mr.. Sweeney visited Liberty Hut
yesterday afternoon and blocked out
the seating arrangements. Reserva-
lions were made for TOO members of
the various Red Cross auXiliaries and
of whom will be in uniform and will
volunteer to secure members. The
ajority of the military contingent
will be boys from Walter Reed Hos
pital, who, to show their appreciation
of what the Red Cross has done for them
at home and abroad will accompany
Red Cross solicitors in the house-to-
house canvass, but who will not be
called upon to perform any service
other than to lend approval by their
presence to the enrolment.
Although the drive is announced to
last from November to IL, inclusive,
it is the earnest hope and the firm
determination of Mr.. Sweeney and his
co-workers that the campaign VIII
make such rapid progress that there
will be no necessity for general So
liciting during the last four days of
the drive either on the street or In
theaters through appeals by speakers
from the stage.
In former drives this has occasionally
been necessary to complete a quota

it is aimed on this occasion to make

canvass so thorough that not a single
household and comparatively few lndi-
viduals will be overlooked. In fact,

with such a rush the first working day,

GERMAN L.. ..JER
SAYS TREATY MUST

(BY LAST MINUTE TELEGRAPH,

BERLIN, Jan. A1S:--tDelayed.) ~
Chancellor Ebert said today that
Germany will do everything to COM
ply with peace conditions based on
President Wilson's fourteen points,
but that if the allies make further
demands he will not take the re-
sponsibility OF signing the peace
terms.
He said Germany needs peace I'M
mediately, that she may get food
and materials so her people can, go
to work. He declared the Spartacans
LOST their revolt and that no further
serious outbreaks will occur If the
people are fed. If they are not fed
he said, 1--WE must be ready for any
thing"
we must have fair peace" de-
dent Wilson's platform, which was
the basis on which we signed the
armistice. We will do everything
to comply with conditions founded
on his points. It is possible, though,
that the enemy will make further
demands. Germany can not accept
them. l could mot take the conse-
quences, and would resign. L don't
know what would happen after that"
Asked what he thought of the re-
spOnsibility for the war, Ebert said:
THAT is a question I cannot an
swer off-hand. Personally. L feet
that blame was not Germany's
alone."'
The conversation was directed to
the Spartacan uprising.
1--WE need peace Immediately, so
we can get food and materials that
will enable the people to go to
work. he said.

American Troops viii Be Brought
Back to United States Fast as Possible

American troops will be brought
home from France just as fast as
possible. General Pershing has been
ordered to so inform General Foch.
The American force will be re-
duced to a point where only such
forces will be left overseas as are
required under American interna-
tional obligations.
Chief Of Staff March made these
revelations, declaring that the heads
of the various governments are now
working out details of what forces
shall be left behind. The return
movement is slated to be as rapid as
compatible with tonnage availability.
General March also announced that
he had an official report from Eu-
rope indicating that the United
States will get for transport use
8oOdly portion Of the German ships,
negotiations for which are now un-
der way.
The original tentative figure of 80
divisions to be left in France will
be scaled down. No such number,
said General March, will be kept in
France.
The force now in the army of oc-
cupation. coupled with the allied
armies Of occupation, is fully capa-
BILE of preventing any renewal of
hostilities by Germany, General
March held.
He declared chat 768,626 men and
51,593 officers have actually been
discharged in this country, that 1O4.-
600 had actually returned from
abroad and that 1,177,000 in the
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1919-01-21

United States are listed for demobi-
liZation.
Generalization has reached a rate
OF 10000 men per day in the states,
and discharge of the remaining half
Of the combatant divisions has been
ordered.
This means that now all troops
IN the United States are slated for
discharge except those of a perma-
nent character, such as neuclei-two
regiments of regularS--in each divi-
sion, the mass Of the American cav
airy stationed on the border, coast
artillery forces used in sea coast de-
lenses, large medical personnel for
reconstruction hospitals, demobiliza-
ZION and embarkation attachments
and certain staff corps personnel.
Men In this permanent list will be
carefully checked over so as to be-
ing down to d minimum those COM
PEELED to remain.
General March admitted that some
complaints had come in that demob-
ii1zation is too fast at present Pub
nc opinion, he said, appeared to be
divided, some persons claiming 1t
was too fast and some too slow. In
cldentally French papers received
by General March insist upon faster
demobilization there. France is de-
modifying by classes and has dis
charsed the 1887, 1883, 1889, 1890
reservists.
General March had planned to an
nounce today the replacement of all
combatant divisions. Instead of so
doing he postponed the announce
ment until he can give the actual
G1Eualties by divisions.

But if loving care, thoughtful

him one, for during the six years of

those things from me.
1t was his career that came first

career, for his ambition, that L be-
came his common law wife.
Everything l did for him was for

I adored him. Nothing was too
much for him to ask or for me to do,
L first met Earle Williams in 1912
at the Vitagraph studio in New
York. He was playing leads, and
1 was trying to break into the film
game.
He at once displayed a marked
interest and began taking me about.
We found we had tastes in common
and he said I had helped him in his
work. We became more and more
interested in each other.
At that time he was only getting
$S5 per week. That was not enough
for US to live on, because he was
supporting his mother and father.
But he told me that he loved me,
that he couldn't live without me-.
. He told me that he would marry
me as soon as he had become a
firmly fixed star in the film firma-
ment.

In campaign to induce the law

There are forty-two measures in
the proposed children's code. Here
are the reasons for some of them:
In Missouri law schools the first

If boy of IA and a girl of il

parent in a motor car was gaining

do2
And the answer still remains.
Mighty little"
The common law marriage which
England abolished $50 years ago
still obtains in Missouri. .
A man of so years and a girl
of IL can agree to live together
and, no one can stop them ex-tt
cept by strong arm methods. 4
Minors can marry under the
common law contract without
a license. One of the provisions
of the children's code is an abol-

marriage.

grew the traffic in babies" which

the company on the fourth year
