2 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER S, mg. NATIONAL ARMY UNITS TO RETURN HOMEJUICKLY Gen. March Indicates All But Regular Troops Will Be Withdrawn from France by Midsummer. Washington, Dec. 7. Eight of the 13 divisions comprising the Ameri can Third army :iow approaching the Rhine either arc national guard or national army troops, and there is , every reason to believe that they ' will he on American soil again by mid-summer. Gen. March, chief of staff, au ' , flounced today that hi? anticipated no difficulty in getting these units home within four months after peace has been established formally by proclamation. President Wilson, in hi recent address to congress, said the sessions of the conference prob ably would be concluded by spring, and based on this estimate of the time, General March's statement was accepted to mean that these would ..return during the summer. ' two national guard divisions, me Thirty-second and Forty-second, and two of the natkmal army, the Highty- ' ninth and Ninth, ndw are in the ( front line of Major General Dick i man's army of occupation, which was within 20 miles of the Rhine last night, according to General Per shing's report. The Twenty-eighth and Thirty-third national guard and the Seventy-ninth national army are in the second line, constituting the reserve which is occupying. Luxem burg and various rail centers in ' France, including Montmedy, Lon , guyon, Etain and St. Mihiel. The " First, Third, Fourth and Fifth regu lars comprise the remainder of the advancing army, while the second . and Seventh divisions are with the reserve. Statement by General March. The estimate as to the possibility that all except regular divisions will have been withdrawn from France by mid-summer is based on General March's reply to a question as to steps necessary to obtain an exten sion of the enlistment period for men . in the army of occupation. "The law about the men who were raised in the national army is that they must be discharged four months after the declaration of peace," he said. "That, I think, also was ex tended to,' include men who made voluntary enlistments in the regular army. I won't have any difficulty in bringing back from France the so-called national army divisions in four months after the declaration of peace. It is entirely possible that we will have to ask congress for some modification of the law to pro- f vide a longer period for the units which will remain in Europe." A total of 5,325 officers and 125, 515 men,-Gen. March said, have been specifically assigned for early . return by Gen. Pershing. Included in the additional units reported to day are 1.426 officers and 29,381 men, the- largest organizations mentioned being the field artillery brigades of the Eighth (regular) and Ninety second (national army negro) div isions and the Three Hundred and -Eyty'fifth and Three Hundred and Forty-sixth infantry regiments from the Eighty-seventh (national army) division. The remainder of the list tonsists largely of motor repair units ' and auxiliary divisional troops. No Preference in Discharge. The Three Hundred and Fcrty lixth infantry is numerically the largest unit yet ordered home, show ; ing 77 officers and 3,182 men, while the Three Hundred and Forty-fifth, with 14 officers and 743 men, has . apparently been stripped by replace ment drafts. The full strength of an infantry regiment is approximate ly 3,600 men. Discussing demobilization of the forces at home, Gen. March said college men other than those in officer schools, which were being abandoned, would receive no prefer ence as to the time of their dis charge. The order of demobiliza tion providing that combat divisions be disbanded last, he said, has not been altered. "T?ie system is working at a very much greater speed," Gen. March said, referring to demobilization, "and I have initiated a system by which I get a daily record as to , officers and a weekly record as to ,, enlisted men. The actual number .of officers discharged at the time of I the last announcement was 113; the number discharged last week, up to " yesterday was 7,658. The number of men discharged in the United States last week was over 200,j)00. Bolshevism Termed End of Civilization by Dutch Minister . Amsterdam, Dec. 7. The Dutch ; minister at Petrograd, who has ar- rived in Holland tiy way of Ger many, spoke freely on his arrival of the conditions brought about by bol shevism in Russia and appealed to ; the workmen of all nations against bolshevik tendencies. -Hle-minister characterized b'olshe i visra as "the end of civilization." , Translated into practice, he declared, i. the bolshevik principles are "high '-wages for no work, the taking of others' property without punishment nd no taxation." "The state of unemployment in , Petrograd is terrible," the minister said. "The situation is one of utter - txhaustion. The people do notlcnow how they will exist from day to day. ; I never dreamed of such corruption and tyranny and the absence of all ! semblance of freedom. ; The future to me seems hopeless. One thing is certain, and that is if v. it is left as it is now, Russia will be completely and utterly ruined." Terorists Execute Fourteen. Stockholm, Dec. 7. On the pre text of ,. having discovered a counter C revolutionary plot, the terrorist commission at Mohilez sentenced 14 persons to death, according to a ; Petrograd dispatch. , Among those i sentenced were Prince Eristoff, who was executed with his two sisters.y and the rnnce ana i nncess-oviaio-; poik-Mirsky- Eighteen-Pound Catfish Caught by Tail in River by Two Omaha Men D.

AIO PLEDGED BY HITCHCOCK TO EMBARGO PLAN (Contlniifd from Ige One.) Wiiliam, Bayard Hale and Dr. Akcd, a minister of San Francisco. Hitchcock Pledges Support. Another communication relating to a meeting of the embargo asso ciation and said to have been writ ten by G. M. Jacobs of Chicago, acting chairman, said that former Senator Works, of California and Senator Smith of Georgia, as well as Senator Hitchcock, supported the principles of the conference. Mr. Rielaski read a document signed by Senator Hitchcock stat ing that the senator would do all in his power both as senator and as editor of-the Omaha World-Herald to bring about an embargo on arms. Reiswitz's letter regarding the em bargo association made this refer ence to Senator Hitchcock: "Hitchcock seeme4 to be very strong for the plan. He told our representative at a conference in Omaha: 'If this matter is organized in the right way you will sweep the United States.'" Consul Reiswitz, in a letter be lieved by the Department of Justice to have been written to Dr. Hein nerich F. Albert, a former German agent, outlined a plan for the ac quisition of the Wright airplane factory at Dayton,. O., as a means of preventing the export of flying machines from the United States. Option on A. P. A. Mr. Bielaski also testified that to make provisions for the dissemina tion of pro-German newspapers to smaller newspapers the German asent contemplated the purchase of the American Press association, which furnished matter in type to papers, but he said there was no evi dence that the deal was carried through. In this connection the witness read an option, drawn up presumably by the agents of Albert, whereby the association was to "place its whole organization at the disposal of" Albert, in order to spread pro-German newspapers and suppress anti-German newspapers. "The option was to be valid be tween July 15 and October 15, 1915, and during that time Albert was to decide whether he wouW-purchase control of the property for $900,000. Late today the State department made public the full text of the Bernstorff documents read into the committee records by Mr. Bielaski. They are taken from the mass of ev idence in the department's files, dis closing German intrigue before and after The United States entered the war. Airplanes May Make Trips Over States Soon Washington, Dec. 7. (Special Telegram) Judge Kinkaid is in re ceipt of a letter from Col. Arthur Woods of the aviation section of the signal corps in answer to a sugges tion of W. D. Fisher, secretary of the community club of Alliance, that aviators make trips throughout the country and that communities hear the expenses if necessary in order that people in remote sections may have a first hand knowledge of air planes. Col. Woods says a start was made shortly after the armistice was sing ed to do this very thing" in the northern states." The letter says: "The weather is of course not very good for flights now but I certainly hope that before long it will be possible to visit Alli ance. 'C. Petrus Peterson, city attorney of Lincoln and recently elected to the state senate, is in Washington for a"few days. PROPOSE PLAN FOR MEN TO ACT IN CAR STRIKE (Continued from Tug One.) ballot on the proposals' made by Mr. Wattles. Mr. Wattles stated in conference yesterday morning that he would adjust working conditions com plained of if the men would waive the union recognition feature of their demands, or he would agree to submit all differences except the recognition of the union to the na tional war labor board, and would invite W. H. Taft and Basil Manley, joint chairmen of the board, to come to Omaha to hold a hearing, in the meantime the men to return to work and both sides to abide by the find ings of the board. Wattles Explains Point. The proposition of holding a meeting' between the men and their employers was suggested and urged by Conciliator Smith of the Depart ment of Labor and T. P. Reynolds of the Central Labor union approved the idea. These men agreed that this meeting marked a forward step toward the settlement of the strike and they were hopeful of an agree ment being reached through this plan. Mr. Wattles' point in connection with the war labor board and union recognition is in brief as follows: "Last June the car men sought the war labor board as a medium through which they agreed to sub mit differences and abide by the findings of the board. Our differ ences were submitted and this com pany has abided by the findings, al though we have had to face a heavy expense in increase of wages. It was agreed that these findings would hold until February 1, 1919. It has been the policy of the board that where union recognition did not obtain before the war such rec ognition shall not be demanded un til peace has been signed. Presi dent Wilson, in a statement rela tive to a strike in Bridgeport, Conn., stated last September that any strike contrary to the policy of the war labor board would be dishon orable and disloyal. We are now asking the men to submit again our differences to the same board which they sought last June." Saturday morning's conference was held in the street railway com pany's offices and following a long meeting wheh was held in the city hall on Friday afternoon. The at tendants were Ben Short, W. J. Weimer, J. F. McMillan, George Whitlow, Gus Williams and C. F. Datvson of the union; G. W. Wattles. R. A. Luessler, W. A. Smith, Frank Hamilton, L. J. ("ro foot and J. A. Munroe of the street railway company; President 1'ev nolds of the Central Labor union and Conciliator Smith of the de partment of Labor. "The men had only one point, and that was recognition of the union," announced President Rey nolds of the Central Labor union when he and others retired from the conference room to leave the union committeemen to . con sider the situation by themeslves for a few minutes. Bluffs Men- Line Up. When Mr. Wattles was advised yesterday afternoon that all of the crews of the Council Bluffs line had lined up with the union, he replied: there is no mistaking the fact that this is a serious situation, but I am of the opinion that general public opinion of the city does not support the cause of the strikers in this situation." Union leaders last night were ac tively circulating copies of a circular entitled "Saviors of Democracy Ask ed to Champion Autocracy in Oma ha." The circulars carried a cooyof the street railway company's adver tisement asking for men to run the cars, giving returned soldiers prefer ence and offering a bonus of $5 per day during the present emergency. The circular attacked the patriot ism of the company managers,' dubs the advertisement an insult to the boys in the ranks and closes: "Have our boys suffered the pangs of hell for this? Have we no sense cf gratitude or decency? Americans, all, where is your manhood? Victory's Cost $794,400. Washington, Dec. 7.

The Bee's Free Shoe Fund To Buy Shoes For Shoeless Children It is desired to swell the total of The Bee shoe fund to $1,000 before Christmas, so that, as far as possible, needy children may have their new shoes by Christ mas, although shoes will be given through the school year. Every contributor to the fund now is playing the role of an honest-to-goodness Santa Claus. The expressions of thanks con veyed to The Bee by parents who have been forced to avail them selves of this worthy charity be cause of Spanish influenza show that the fund has never been more opportune than it is this year. And if the total exceeds the $1,000 mark the additional contri butions will merely serve to en large the field of its benefit. Gifts from outside of Ocnaha continue in the lead.

(British Wire less Service.) The British govern ment has agreed to the principle of an eight-hour day for all members of the wages staff on the railways of the United Kingdom in fulfill ment of the pledge given the rail way men recently by the president 'of the board of trade. The eight hour day will come into operation next February. All existing conditions of service will remain unaltered pending a decision of a committee of repre sentatives of both sides, which will be set up to'review wages and other conditions of service of railway men. Leaders of railway men in the United Kingdom express satisfac tion over the government's action. Recognition by the government of the principle of an eigh-hour day long has been one of the conten tions of the British railway men in their disputes with the government since the beginning of the war, when the government took over control of all the railways. Art Exhibits to Replace Snake Charmer at Fairs Chicago, Dec. 7.

An official note concerning the food reserves issued in Berlin says that under the most favorable cir cumstances there will only be enough breadstutls after February 7 for a daily ration of 80 grammes, which is one-third ration. The note says that the death rate continues to increase in Berlin and that in October, 1915. 1,(197 women died in Berlin, while in October, 1915, the number of women who died was more than 3,000. Independents Gain Control. Berlin, Dec. 7. In the elections held yesterday to fill two vacancies in the soldiers' and workers' ex excutive couucil, the left wing of the social democrats, or the inde pendent socialists, gained both seats. The c&uncil, which has 28 members, is ostensibly the highest revolution ary tribunal. By winning the two vacant seats, the independents secured a working majority in the council. The soldier element attributes its defeat to the inability of Herr Melkenbnhr, a ma jority socialist and one of the two chairmen of the executive council, to cope with the other chairman, Rich ard Mueller, a representative of the working men. "Slueller apparently has succeeded in converting the committee to radicalism, although its members are divided equally be tween the soldiers and the work men. The soldiers stationed at Berlin, it is understood, oppose partisan politics, but have not yet been able to counteract the tactics of Mueller. The issue promises to reach a crisis late today, the soldiers having an nounced their intention of replacing Melkenbuhr and five other of their representatives with men deter mined to neutralize the radical ele ments which dominate the executive council. Offer Presidency to Ebert. Copenhagen, Dec. 7. "The Ger man republic and her tirsl president. Comrade Ebert," have been hailed by an organized demonstration of soldiers and sailors at Berlin. The Wolff bureau, the semi-official news agency, thus describes the incident: "On Friday evening soldiers and sailors armed with rifles demon strated before the chancellor's pal ace. Their leaders spoke as fol lows: " 'Germany stands on the brink of a catastrophe. 'c demand that a national assembly be summoned on December Jo. The executive coun cil must no longer be able to put pressure on the government. Long live the German republic and her first president. Comrade Ebert.'" Chancellor Ebert replied that the administration must remain in the hands of the government, lie coun selled patience until the council of the workmen's and soldiers' councils had decided regarding the -convocation of a national assembly. A sailor from Kiel spoke up: "I will put a straight question whether Comrade Ebert will agree to our selection of him as president of the German republic." 1 he chancellor replied: "Not without conferring with the government." The soldiers and sailors then marched away. Revolutionary Leaders Arrested. Berlin, Dec. 7. A former non commissioned officer named Ger hard, who is one of the members of the executive council of Berlin and leader of the soldier revolutionaries, was arrested Friday. He was under a mild form of detention, charged among other things with advocating physical opposition to Dr. Karl Licbknecht, leader of the Spartacus group of socialists. The fact that he was arrested at a plenary session of the soldiers' council, at which it was planned to organize a revolt against: Herman Molkenbuhr and other members , of the soldiers' council, is enterpreted here as a successful endeavor to remove him from the scene. Demand National Assembly. Amsterdam, Dec. 7. At Munich, says a Berlin dispatch, returning troops, led by officers and bearing the old and new imperial ajid state hags, demanded a speedy summon ing"' of the national assembly. f The Bavarian premier, Kurt Eis ner, was compelled to come out and respond to the demonstrators. He promised the early calling of the assembly. Herr Eisner was sur rounded by a bodyguard and had armored cars brought up. The sol diers protested so vigorously against the presence of the cars that they were withdrawn. Is Connecting Link. Munich, Dec. 7. (By Associated Press) Prof. Lujo Bretan of Mu nich university, widely known as an economist, has been appointed "peo ple's commissary for fade and in dustry" in the new Bavarian state. He will' not enter the cabinet but will act as a sort of connecting link between the leaders in trade and in dustry and the government. BILL PROPOSED TO PROTECT U. S.

But with the joy of having a reeunited family the sorrow over the death of Frank Sloan in a Liverpool hospital is still felt.' Congressman Lobeck, having two vacancies to fill at West Point, to day announced that he nominated to take the examination for these vacancies, Robert V.

Frends of Col. Eberly say that in vi:w of his long exeperience as a national guardsman he would make an ideal adjutant-general for Nebraska. John W.

Four days later it is expected the en tire line will enter the final phase of. the advance. Reports received from Coblcnz iu-J dicate that the reception there will be essentially the same as at Treves : and the scores of smaller towns a!-'., ready occupied. ' ; The inhabitants of the zone taken over today received the American ; troops with the same courteous in-' difference that has characterized the.; manner of the Germans everywhere, ; but in Treves and other communities , occupied the first day a change in, the attitude of the Germans is be-; coming apparent. Children gather around the enli. t ed men and follow the marching troops and eagerly practice the use of the English language whene erc the men will listen to or talk to r them. Even men and women are weakening from what was an obvi ous determination to ignore the Americans. The mayor of one town explained that the people had ex pected the same militaristic attitude as they would receive from their, own soldiers a,nd perhaps retaliatory . methods, but when an unassertive manner was adopted by the Ameri cans it was difficult for the people ; to keep up their air of passive hos ; tility. The Germans have not yet seen ; General Pershing, the American , commander in chief, but they, prob ably will soon have this opportui.i- , ty since he expects to enter the oc cupied territory and come to Treves. General Pershing, however, will not enter the city with any pomp or dis- tfay. : Clearing House Banks.
