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Withdrawn from France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have been withdrawn from France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

Eighteen-Pound Catfish
Caught by Tail in River
by Two Omaha Men
D. J. Ryan and R. E. Mead of
the United States Printing com
pany returned last night from a
canoe fishing trip down the Mis
souri as far as Plattsmouth. In a
small inlet near the mouth of the
Platte, they saw a school of huge
catfish feeding in shallow water
and succeeded An catching three
with their hands. One, weighing
13 pounds, Mead pulled out by the
tail They said that 20 catfish were
wallowing about in water eight
inches deep when they took part in
the game.
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 final
campaign statement of the republi
can national committee, received
today by the clerk of the house,
shows expenditures of $794,400, or
$22,635 more than receipts.

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.

British Government
Agrees to Principles
of Eight-Hour Day
London, Dec. 7. (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

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.

With the American Army of Oc

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- ,

cupied territory and come to Treves.
General Pershing, however, will not
