PLANS TO BRING BACK BIG PART OF ARMY IN HURRY. CAN MOVE 300,000 TROOPS A HH Secretary Laker, However, Doesn't Enow When Men Will Start Back. Xew York, Nov. 15. Edward X. Hurley, chairman of the- United States shipping board, announced here tonight on the eve of his de parture for Europe that the govern ment intends to return to this coun try spt-edily a large part of the American expeditionary forces. The purpoi-c of Mr. Hurley's trip to Europe is to arrantre the details for their transportation. To offset the loss of transport ton nasre through the withdrawal of Rritish ships hitherto engaged in carrying American soldiers overseas. j Mr. Hurley hopes to utilize t wenty- five or thirtv 0 rnian and Austrian liners, with accommodations for 4, 000 men each. In compensation for the "loan" of these vessels, he said, food would be sent to the people of central Europe on their return voy ages. Mr. Hurley said the shipping board would be able to bring troops back at the rate of .100.000 a month, ":f the war department wants them returned as fast as that." Would Meet Pershing:. He would meet General Pershing at American field headquarters, he added, to discuss the details of their home coming. Convalescent wounded, including many men who would have returned to the battle front had the war con tinued, would be the first troops brought out of France, he said. They would be followed by units of various branches of the service, following plans already partly work ed out by Secretary Raker and the general staff. On future developments in the Internal affairs of Germany and Austria and their relations with the allies, the shipping official added, to gether witli the trend of European events in general, would depend the number of troops to be brought to this country within the next few months, but he was preparing, he stated, to transport large conting ents. Baker Has Made No Plans. Washington, D. C, Nov. 15. The war department has made no defin ite plans for the reiurn of the American expeditionary forces to the United States, it was learned to night and it is not regarded as likely that the movement, except of sick and wounded, will start soon. Asked specifically if any of the men could be expected home by Christmas, Secretary Raker said he did not know. General Pershing has been con sidering the question of getting the army back home, but many factors in his plans have not yet been dis cussed. Among these is the question of what proportion of the guard duty in Europe, the American forces will assume. Presumably the supreme war council, through its military advisers at Versailles, is working out this question. Miss Aleen Franzen. who has been visiting in thi.s city a guest at the home of II. M. Soennichsen and John Wickman, departed this afternoon for Scribner where she will visit for a few clays with rela tives.

County Superintendent Miss Al pha Peterson is holding teachers ex amination at the court house today. Four young ladies are taking the examination. They being Misses Mary Egenberger, Frances Roy her t, and Elizabeth Bajeck of this city, and MiKS Verna Bates from Green wood. It has been very difficult to ob tain teachers for the schools, and it would soem, that the occupation is not overly crowded, while we think that the teacher surely earms her pay, the conditions are not as had as they have been in the past. We are pleased to see the conditions im proving, for surely the young lady who has put in the years of prepara tion for the position, and then not giving employment for only a por tion of the time is well entitled to a good salary.
