FIRST
Winnipeg, Canada, Dec. 5.-Plans
r the demobilization of Canada's
6,304 overseas troops under a sys-
m intended to meet economic and
dustrial conditions have been com-
eted and will be put into operation
hen withdrawal of the forces is con-
nted to by the high command.
After consiaering available shipping
cilities and rolling stock in Cana-
, the Imperial Ministry of Shipping
ld the Canadian War Board have
ncluded that the rate of return can
proximately 20,000 men a month.
Close study of the military and eco-
mic phases of demobilization re-
lted in a decision to first return
4n whose trade elassification show-
there was immediate use for them
industry. Preference is to be giv-
. married men, the order of their re-
ru to be determined by the length
time in overseas service. Then sin-
* men will be returned along the
e general lines.
The problem of bringing back from

,dian soldiers,, estifnated at 35,000
rsons, has been placed with the De-
.rtment of Immigration. They will
returned to Canada as quickly as
ssible, as the government desires to

before their arrival.

RATES REDUCED ON
ALL WIRE LETTERS
Manager H. C. Baumgardner of the
local Western Union office announces
a scale of reduced rates for short
overnight messages, effective January
1. These new rates are calculated to
develop a new class of messages con-.
sisting of messages that might other-
wise be sent special delivery. The
new service, known as night messag-
es, will have a maximum rate of 50
cents as against $1 heretofore charg-
ed. For 25 cents a 10 word message'
can be sent a considerable distafice. l
It is expected that this system will
lead to the adoption of wire servicef
for social purposes as in European
countries.
France Regains Stolen Wheat
New York, Dec. 5.-More than 137,-
500 acres of wheat were recovered
from German occgpied territory in
France by the British and French
armies in the great offensive that end-
ed the war, says the New York Fed-
eral Food Board. This is believed by
the food officials to have materially
contributed to the food crisis which
helped to bring Germany to her
knees. This wheat was harvested
chiefly by the French. The work of
nearly 17,000 men was required in the
harvesting. The binding machines and
threshing machines were supplied by;
the French office of Agricultural Re-I
construction and when the harvesting
was completed the machines were
sold at reduced prices to farmers.

DAY OF
SAYS
RECKONING
ENGLISHMAN
(By Associated Press)
London, Dee. S.-Sir Auakland Ged-
des, president of the local government
board and minister of national service
in a public address said that the line
of policy advocated in a coalition
government was a peace, which, so far
as the enemy powers were concern-
ed, should be based on stern justice,
and so far as those men who plan-
ned and started the war should be
found on the nature meted out in the
highest courts of the land.
Such men as the former German
emperor, Enviar Pasha, and the for-
mer rulers of Bulgaria and Austria
would be placed on trial, and if found
guilty their lives forfeited.j
"Today ii the day of reckoning for
our enemies," said the minster, "and
they will.have to pay to the utter-
;most farthing what it is possible to
bring out of them."
