THE HOMEWARD MOVEMENT OF

ABM IS IN FINE CONDITION
New York.—The one millionth man
of the American expeditionary force
will embark for home next, week. Sec
retary Baker said oa his arrival here
, from France aboard fhe transport
George Washington. The homeward
movement of tioops, Mr. Raker said,
is progressing in a most satisfactory
manner and he added that the 300,000
month wark, would be reached In
June.
Secretary Baker left here April 7,
accompanied by Warren Pershing,
Gineral Pershing's only son. He vis
ited various points in Prance where
American troops are quartered.
"The American army abroad is in
splendid condition. The third army
which I Inspected on the German fron
tier is beyond doubt the best equip
ped army In the world. It is every
thing that an army should }>e, in all
its departments.
"The men are anxious to get home
and we are moving them as rapidly
as possible. I expect to see the 300,-

and the one millionth man will em
bark for home next week.
Secretary Baker said, he visited but
one embarkation camp—that at Brest.
"Its condition is simply ideal." he as
serted, "and you can get the same
expression from any douglrboy on this
ship. I did not see any of the others
but am Informed the good condition

was argued In the supreme court In

The solicitor general argued that
In increasing telephone and telegraph
rates the postmaster general was act
ing on behalf of the public, as the
corporations which own the wires
through government control had ceas
ed to operate them, and acted solely
as the government's agents.
"If the government didn't fix these
rates, who would?" asked Justice Mc
Reynolds during the of the so

"I suppose the states would," the
general replied.
"Well, if the states fix the rate so
that there should be a loss, who
would pay It," the Justice asked.
"The government would," Mr. Kin?
replied.
"That's what I havg been trying to
find out," Justice Mcßeynolds'said.

For several days. Senator Overman's

make the last delivery of presents af

most fortunately not enough packages
arrived on the trains to justify a spe

the office. In the morning a survey

OPENING PRELIMINARIES
TO VERSAILLES CONFERENCE
The peace conjress at Versailles
has formally begun its sessions. The
eventful day which "the world had

The German peace delegates have
met the representatives of the allied
and associated powers and across the

When Wurttemburg troops occupied
Startfburg the civil population was in

render Victory bonds was followed
with another demand for cash. Panton
refuged to heed the demand and told
the stranxor to shoot. The unknown

of the door.
GERMANS DID NOT RAISE ANY
QUESTIONS AS TO ITALIANS
Versailles. —The question of Italian
representation at the peace negotia
tions, so far as can be ascertained, has
not been raised by the German dele
gales. Vfertalnly it was not touched
upon at the meeting of the inter-allied
!#id German credentials commission.
The Germans had this point In re
serve, and, according to indication,
would probably have raised it had the
inter-allied representatives at the
meeting questioned their right to
speak for Germany, with Bavaria in
rebellion, or enjoying semi-independ
ence. However, when M. Cambon, in
stead, proposed an exchange of cre
dentials for verification, the Germans
were so satisfied that they did jiot go
out of their way to seek trouble.
The Germans planned a sightseeing
excursion to Trianon and Ltttle Tri;
anon and had requested permission to
visit the historic apartments of Mad
ame Maintenon and Marie Antoinette.
The necessary permits were not re

ing better on their military fronts
