Paris, Sept. 27 (By' mail).-A plan
has been formed to meet the problem
of what shall be done with the Unit-
ed States soldiers in Europe between
the time the war ends and the time
they step on transports, homeward
bound.
This plan is now being worked out
by the army educational commission]
of the Y. M. C. A. with the approval
of the commander in chief and with
the active support of President Wil-
son and Secretary Baker.
Open Classes When Peace Comes
It calls for sending hundreds -of
thousands of the soldiers to school.
As the arrangements now stand in
rough form, class rooms will be open-
ed as soon as possible after the term-
ination of hostilities, in every post,
cantonment, rest camp or area with
a constant population of over 500.
Each school will be under a civilian
instructor or an instructor selected
from the officers or men of the Amer-
ican army. In addition to these
schools, each area is to have a school
offering vocational education and spe-
cial educational branches.
Special Courses to Be Taught
To provide for higher branches of
education, arrangements are being
made to admit soldiers to European
universities. In the selection of stu-
dents to pursue advanced studies
special consideration will be given to
men who interrupted their profession-
al, technical, university, or collegiate
education to enter the army.
According to the plan each com-
pany, regiment, division, and corps
commander may allot a certain num-
ber of students from his command to
the schools.
Furloughs Given
The demobilization plans for uni-
versity, professional, and technical
courses in European institutions pro-
vide for the attendance of officers
and men at a moderate personal cost.
For this purpose leave of absence
or furloughs would be granted to a
limited number from each unit.
To make the new educational facil-
ities available to men on duty in iso-
lated posts, courses will be offered
by correspondence. As the plan is
now worked out, over one thousand in-
structors from American schools and
colleges would be brought to France
to supplement the teachers available
in the ranks of the army.
BRITISH CAPTURE 49,000

TWO AMERICANS DETAINED BY
GERMANS; EFFECT AN ESCAPE
Zurich, Nov. 1.-Two Philadelphi-
ans, Frank Schaettle and his wife,
have at last succeeded in leaving
Germany. The couple have endeavor-
ed for a year to get out of the coun-
try and are now in this city.
Some of the indignities suffered by
the two at the hands of the author-
ities at Landau on the frontier con-
issted of confiscating all Jewelry of
every variety after making them sub-
mit to an inspection. They also made
Mr. Schaettle deposit $5,000 as a fu-
ture war tax and allowed him and his
wife only $500 for expenses.
"This but illustrates the extreme
bitterness which the Germans feel to-
ward all Americans," said Mr. Schaet-
tle. "The civilians and privates are
heartily sick of the warbut the oM-
cers are not for they are having a
good time with plenty of money
which they possess."
MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTOR
REFUSES LABORATORY POSITION
Mr. Carl J. Coe, instructor in mathe-
matics in the University, has refused
a position of testing out the raw ma-
terial to be used in the manufacture
of airplanes at the Wright aviation
field at Dayton, Ohio. Part of the
work consists of laboratory experi-
ments in which the quality of the
iron, wood, canvas and other raw
materials used in manufacture of the
airplane is determined., he most im-
portant part of the work is the theo-
retical reduction of experimental re-
sults.
Mr. Coe received this offer some
days ago, but he refused it because
he considers'.that his work at Ann
Arbor of teaching mathematics to
soldiers and sailors is of first impor-
tance.

Yanks Seek Ideal Christmas Paekage
The Stars and Stripes, official over-
seas publication of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces, announces that a
quest is being made among the men
for the ideal Christmas package.
Some articles which are available in
certain parts of France may be
scarce in other sections, and other
things which can be found in France
may not be procurable in Russia,
where American forces are also sta-

tioned. As soon as the ideal package
is chosen from the lists submitted by
the boys it will be cabled to the Un-
ited States. So far "'live-savers,"
chocolates, cigarettes, tooth paste, and
shaving cream are among the various
articles selected for the cartons.

Valenciennes. Several thousand pris-
oners were taken in the attacks.
On the southern part of the front
the French and American troops are
drawing northward a wide front,
clearing the enemy from the territory
which it is essential for him to hold,
if his line from Belgium to the Meuse
-is to be retained intact. Splendid
progress has been made in the first
stages of the battle, and seemingly the
great wooded massif, north of Grand-
.pre, a continuation of the Argonne
forest, is likely soon to be enveloped,
leaving only comparatively strong
natural barriers to be faced by the
Allies in an advance northward.
CHMISTRY DEPARTMENT GIVES
INSTRUCTORS TO WAR SERVICE

vice. The three divisions of this war
branch are ordnance, advisory, and
experimental. In the first are: A. H.
White, A. E. -White, John D. Rue,
Elmer E. Ware, and Floyd E. Bartell.

ward D. Campbell, Hobart H. Willard,
Clifford Meloche, and Norbert Lange.

REACHES -$6,866,416,300 TOTAL
Washington, Nov. 1.-Despite peace
talk and influenza, American citizens
have responded for the fourth time
to the government's appeal for war
loans with more than was asked. A
total subscription of $6,866,416,300
from more than 21,000,000 individuals
is the record of the Fourth Liberty
Loan, as announced today by the
treasurer,tbased on careful estimates
made by the 12 federal reserve banks.
Final figures may send the Fourth
Loan even higher.
