Baker Says Keystone Boys
Will Be Detained Over-

LAUDS PENNSYLVANIA
TINY AIRPLANE ATTRACTS
Urges Determined Fight
Against Any Attempt to De

J.
TMlmlnclon, DM, Nov 22
No Pennsylvania troops now In Trance
will reach thla country for Christmas,
and there Is no definite time set foi
, "the return of tho Kcjtlonc boja now
overseas
That official statement was made hero
last night by Kenton D. Baiter, Secre
tary of War, who was the principal
Breaker at tho conference of the Na
tional Consumers' League
"General Pershing," said the Secre
tary, ' haa ntlro charge of the return
of tho troops and that matter Is already
under consideration by him Naturally,
the sltuitlon abroad will govern the re
turn ofttho men In France, but you cin
state with certilnty as coming from mo
that tiono of tho men of the Twtntj
elght and Seenty-nlnth Dhlslons, which
afe tho old National Guard and drafted
men of PcnnsjUanla, will be home for
Christmas.
No Definite Time
"It may be possible that a few of
the troops now engaged oerseai may
be home soon, but It la a certainty tint
none of the combat troops will arrlo
within a short time, and nobody can
foretell with any dcflnlteness when they
will come back.
Mr, Baiter said that Penns)lanta had
sufficient ground for a splendid enthu
siasm. He said that the bojs from the
Keystone Stato had won etnlablo honors
v&fleld, and that their reputation for
fighting and bravery was second to none
In the nation.
Praises Keyitone Men
"Pennsyhania has every reason to feel
proud of her men," he continued, "and
tho War Department knows full well the
remarkable heroism they hao shown
and the wonderful work they hao don
In Prance Tor that reason the recep
tions to them whe.i they do return will
be merited, for they hae earned the
best that tho State can gle"
Secretary Baker urged his hearers
and all members of similar agencies to
light any attempts to depress the pres
ent wage scale or to lower the standards
of llIng for workers provided during
tho war.
When tho armistice went Into effect,
lie said, there were Amerlcan-bullt and
operated railroads, rolling stock and
engines In France which were alued at
1100,000,000. Forty-fle hundred miles
of telegTaph and telephone wires had
been erected1, too, he added, bo that It
was possible through American lines
and echangcs for tho army chiefs to
communicate an where they wished In
Trance or England oer their own lines

of Information, deciding what facts tho
public shall have, what facts shall be
Kept from the public and how these facts
shall be prepared for their consumption "
Mr. Heinecke was one of sixteen at
