S.General Plans to Keep 1,290,00 Yanks For Construction Work (By Associated Press) London, Nov. 22.-12:30 p. m. (deayed).-Ten thousand Ameri- can soldiers from all parts of the United States left Liverpool for Aneria today. All troops in England will be sent back as rap- Idly as possible. °--r (By Associated Press) Washington, Nov. 23.-Demobiliza- tion of the American Expeditionary Forces, already in progress with the. movement homeward of sick and wounded, will be hastened by the re- turn at an early date of eight divis- ions of national guard and national army troops, eight regiments of coast artillery, and two brigades of field artilleryd. This announcement was made today by General Marsh, chief- of-staff, on receipt of dispatches from General Pershing. Total hostilities to Nov. 11, when the war ended, were 236,117. This in- cludes, General Marsh said, killed and died of wounds, died of disease, unclassified deaths, wounded, prison- ers and missiiig. The divisions, which General Marsh said have been designated by General Pershing to return as soon as the sick and wounded have been moved to the United States, are: Marsh Issues List National guard: 31st (Georgia, Ala- bama, and Florida); 34th (Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnessota). 38th (Indiana, Kentucky, and Virgin- ia), and 39th (Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisana) National army: 76th (New Eng- land); 84th (Kentucky, Indiana, and southern Illinois); 86th (Northern Ill- inois, including Chicago), and 87th (Arkansas, Lousiana, Mississippi and southern Alabama). The coast artillery regiments to be -returned as soon as possible were an- nounced as the 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th, 50th, 73rd, 74th, and 75th. Proposes. Sending 2 Artillery Brigades The two field artillery brigades to be brought home are the 65th and the 163rd. Eighty-two aero squadrons, 17 .construction companies, and several special units from England will be brought home as soon as transporta- tion facilities are available, General Marsh said. Casualties sustained by the Amer- icans were tabulated by General Marsh as follows: Killed and died of wounds, 36,154. Died of disease, 14,811. Deaths, unclassified, 2,204. Wounded, 109,625. - Prisoners, 2,163. 1iissng, 1,160. Total, 236,117. Total Number Smaller Than Expected While the total losses suffered by the American army in France at first glance appeared *to be almost double the total estimated by officers here as probable, analysis of the table it was pointed out, shows that among the 179,000 wounded are included the names of thousands of men whose in- juries were so trival that they never were admitted to hospitals and the record of their injury was kept only in company and regimental dressing stations. The final total killed, died of wounds, or of disuse, or in the un- classified death list, or the serious1y wounded, the prisoners, and missing, officers believe, will work out not in excess of 125,000. The official figures sblow also nearly double the number of deaths from dis- ease that has been made public to date. No explanation has been for- warded by General Pershing, but it is assumed that the unexpected increase is due to the wide distribution of Am- erican and Allied hospitals to which I MICHIGAN DEFEATS ONLY STATE RIVAL BY 21 TO 6 I C.TO RYOGDETZRUNS2 YARDS FOR SCORE ON AGGIE FUM THE TEAM THAT DEEATED M. A. C. LARGE CROWD APPOVE Of BLUE IEYIL CONCERT FRENCH BAND MAKES SHOWING AT HILL AUDITORIUf GOOD The French Army band, known as the Blue Devils, gave a concert last night at Hill auditorium that was a great delight to the audience, which was in the spirit of the music and applauded vociferously. They first played the "Star Spangled Banner" and then the "Marseillaise" in a way that only a French band can play it. The program' was a mixture of oper- atic selections and martial music. The soloists, M. Debruille on the vio- ulin, M. Georges Frue on the piano, M. Leguin on the cornet, and M. Ban- ruin o the flute, were given oppor- tunity to show their special talent, and the audience manifested its appre- ciation by forcing each to encore many times. The tenseness of the au- dience was manifest throughout the program, and the general attitude seemed to be that this was a rare treat. At the end, the band played "Over There" with a zest that would be a credit to any Yankee band, and seemed to enjoy- it as mu'ch as the audience.2 t This band made a tour of 42 cities in three weeks and helped raise $72,- 000 worth of Liberty bonds. "More than musicians, they bring messages of love and affection from our sister republic, and are under the leader- ship of the greatest band master of Europe. He is regarded in the same light as John Philip Sousa in Ameri- ca. Traveling 10,000 miles in six months, they bring us the heart of France and the martial spirit of that great people." Yank-Hun Troops Rest On Jttoselle (By Assoiated Press) With the American army of occu- pation, Nov. 23.-General Pershing's forces in Luxemberg, and all along the river Moselle, from the points of junction with the French, on their right and left, looked over into Ger- many today. The Germans were somewhat slow- er in some places in evacuating their territory than had been expected, but not enough to give rise to the belief that they do not intend to observe the terms of the armistice. Along the Moselle river, lagging German soldiers washed their cloth- ing today on their side of the river. The Americans on the opposite bank did likewise. There was little con- versing across the river owing to the strict American order against frater- nizing. Major-General Lassiter succeeds Major-General Haan, of the 2nd divi- sion.

Nov. 30 Last Day for Xmas Packages Washington.-November 30 is the day set for the mailing of Christmas packages to the boys in France, with- out an export license. The former date was November 20, but due to an extension of time, Americans may still send their gifts to the boys D R A I N GERMANY'S POCKETBOOK-CRANE That the only way to penalize Ger- many as a nation is to land on her pocketbook, is the opinon of Professor Crane. The penalty may be bare compensation, or embrace in addi- tion, punitive damages, or indemni- ties. So. far, the Allies seem to have in mind only compensation, whih will amount to as vast a sum as the Cenral Powers can possibly pay. "Germany is liable for all the dam- age done in France and Belgium by the war," said Professor Crane. "Much of the damage was done by the En- tente. That is a matter of no impor- tance. The loss must fall somewhere. It is the practice of nations to let it fall on the loser. When the loser is also the aggressor, there is added justice to this practice. Individuals Must Be Punished "But our experience with corpora- tions has shown us that colletive penalties alone are inefficient.- Agents for corporate bodies must be punish- ed individually. On the individuals we can inflict corporal punishment, just as after the Civil war the United States authorities executed the keep- er of the notorious Andersonville prison. This action is entirely within inter- national law and should be applied to individual Germans, as, for instance, to the German judge who condemned Captain Fryatt to death without a fair trial as consequence of orders receiv- ed from superiors. It was simply a case of murder." PAROLE SYSTEM WORKS WELL IN MICHIGAN STATE PRISON (Correspondence of Associated Press) Lansing.-The paroling of prison- ers from Michigan institutions has worked out to the keen satisfaction of the state authorities, including the board of parole and pardons, for three of every four paroled men have made good, it is declared. The annual report of the board,. which has been submitted to Govern- or Sleeper, says 974 paroles were granted during 1917 from a total of 2,462 cases considered and during the year but 234 men violated their pa- roles. The violations were mostly technical, in a majority of the cases the men failing to report regularly, as required, to their "next friends." There were 899 instances in which paroles were -refused and in 32 cases executive clemency was recommended to the governor. During the year 91 paroled prisoners were returned to prisons. All expenses, including taveling, of the pardon board during 1917, totalled $7,473.18. Detroit Minister to Preach Here At 10:30 Rev. S. S. Clark of Detroit will preach. The Reverend Mr. Wells, pastor of this church, will conduct the service the first Sunday in De- cember. He is on leave as an army *chaplain at the present time. CAPTAIN PUTT DISAPPROVES FOOD SERVED AT UNION CHANGE TO BE MADE I N IN. A. T. C. FOOD OFI There will be radical changes made in the food which the S. A. T. C. men eat, according to Capt. G. W. Putt. There have been many complaints made about this food and it has not met with great favor with the boys who have to eat it. This will all be changed soon. Each officer will sub- mit a menu to Captain Putt and he,: together with the Union food commit- tee, will pick. the best menu of the lot. This will be used hereafter, if It does not make the cost of the food exceed the government ration allow- ance . The menus will include food for every day in the week and the same kind of, food will be -served once a week. The boys will have pie and ice cream once or twice each week and will have many good steaks{ and good cuts of meat. "I inspected the food and the condi- tions at the Union the other day," said Captain Putt, "and the food really was not fit for a soldier to eat. The mess hall was dirty and I am go- ing to have it cleaned up." Cost of War to Date 175 Billion Washington.-The direct cost of the war for all belligerent nations to last May 1 was reported at about $175,000,- 000,000 by the federal reserve bulle- tin. It is estimated that the cost will *amount to nearly $200,000,000,000 be- fore the end of .this year. For purely military and naval pur- poses it is figured that all belligerents had sent $132,00,000,000 to May 1, or about three-fourths of the total war cost. The balance represented inter- est on debt and other indirect war ex- penses. McAdoo Reduces Fare .to Two Cents Washington, Nov. 23. - Director General McAdoo has announced that he planned to reduce the passenger rate to two -cents a mile instead of three cents for soldiers discharged from the army. By law the soldiers are allowed three and one-half cents, a -mile for transportation and meals and the special fare will enable them, Mr. McAdoo believes, to buymeals and pay for sleeping car reservations out of it. Treasury Announces Final Figures Washington, Nov. 23.-Total sub- scriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan were $6,989,047, 000, the treasury de- partment announced after final tabu- lations had been completed. The oversubscriptions, $989,047,000 was 16.48 per cent over. Every federal reserve district exceeded its allotted quota. Good Old Times 1ack For Game Those sweet out-of-town damsels were with us again yesterday and gasped from out their fur collars and "mum" bouquets their usual timely; and appropriate remarks, such as: "Ooooh don't those gobs and dough-. boys look just too nice-my! but it must be grand to live here." "How many planes can you see now-isn't this thrilling?" "Aren't those M. A. C. boys rough- why do they get in the way of that' Michigan man when they can see he is trying to run with that ball'?" It was a great day all right and seemed like the good 01 times with that blushing home town girl saying her staccato "Ohs" and "Ahs" from your side. Between the aeroplanes and the Blue Devils one felt cross-eyed and cross-'itted by the end of the fourth quarter. NURSES NEEDED FOR WAR WORK The National Organization for pub- lic health nursing, in conjunction with its war program committee having headquarters at- Washington, is mak- ing every effort to meet the urgent demand for public health nursing both in America and abroad. The needs for reconstruction workers in this field are imperative. - ,-The University of Michigan will soon have a departient of public health nursing which will be the training center for all nurses in this tate. "Although the plan for the depart- ment at the University was made some time ago," said Mrs. L. C. Gret- ter, superintendent of the Detroit Vis- iting Nurses' association and estate chairman of the committee on Red Cross nursing," the project was al- lowed to lapse temporarily because the military demands had taken all avail- able trained nurses and directors." Mrs. Gretter also stated that the state proposes to place a public. health nurse in every county. The nurse on duty finds that her abilities as a teacher, adviser, and friend are needed along with her medical services. Caring for the ba- bies, school children, men and wom- en in industry, and families in need, of her services, all receive a part of her time. Special courses for graduate nurses are strongly urged by the national organization. The new problems of applied economics and sociology can only be solved by such students. CARELESSNESS OF ENGINEER WAS- CAUSE OF RAIL-WRECK Investigation of the wreck which happened at Dexter early Friday morning, has brought to light the fact that'the accident was a result of the failure of the engineer on the freight coming east to read the semaphore. The trains were badly smashed up. Chas. Wells, one of the men injur- ed, died early Saturday morning at St. Joseph's hospital. His death was a result of burns. Fredick Blanch- ard and Alva Rogers, though quite badly shaken up and burned, are out of danger. . $1,143 THROWN INTO FLAG AT FERRY FIELD YESTERDAY The flag which was carried around Feriy field yesterday at the game con- GAME HARD FOUGHT DURING T FIRST HALF OF THE CONTEST M. A. C. SCORES ONCE BY FORWARD PASSIN4 Steketee's Kicking Gives oestme Big Advantage Over Farmers For the fourth time this seas Michigan met and defeated its opp sition. In a game that showed that it: hard to find a team of the strengi of the Wolverines, the Michigan Ai gies, the old state rivals of the MaIs and Blue, fell before Coach Yost products to the tune of 21-6. Promised to Be a Fight What promised to be one of th hardest fought games ever played o Ferry field, turned into a runawe for the Maize and Blue, in the se ond quarte when they scored t' touchdowns in rapid succession. La -r, however, the game became mo interesting when the farmer team" sorted to aerial attack's, which ne ted them thir only count Toe work stood out prominently the contest, with Steketee acting ft Michigan, and Ackley doing the -woi for the Aggies. The Michigan fres man booted the ball for an avera of over 55 yards, helping greatly t wards gaining Michigan its points. To Cohn, Knode and Goetz go tU honiors for the three touchdown while Steketee must be given Ut credit for the other three points. F lowing each touchdown, he booted ti ball over the white bar. Goetz' touchdown proved one of t sensational plays of the game. N satisfied with Playing a wonderful o fensive and defensive game in t line, he watched his opportunity, .a picked up one of the Aggies' fur bles, on their 20 yard line and rac across the goal line for a touchdow Jnode and Cohn Score Knode and Cohn got their points 1 straight football. Assisted wonde fully by the line men, they we able to make long . gains, especial through the right tackle of the visl ors. Vick, the first year center, had n trouble at all in handling his end the game, refusing to give in . a instance before the attacks of the A gies. And when it came to drivi] holes for the Maize and Blue, Vic work could always be counted upc Despite the fact that the farme had been touted to be an even mat for the Wolverines, the Yostmen foul it no great trouble in taking the lo end of the score.
