ot tho military bill by a oto of 282

on the pround of wasteful ox

Winston Spencer Churchill, Secretary
for War, made a vigorous reply to these
criticisms. He described tho broad band
across Kurope from tho White Sao to

through Bolshevist attacks, and de
clared that Germany und Austria were
likely to slide Into hopeless anarchy or
form a military alliance with the Bolslie-
Kcplylng to arguments that There was
no national necessity for the bill, Mr.
Churchill declared that Bolshovlst armies

Kuropo and the arlous little slates were
In direct peril. Could It be said, he
asked, that Clicat Britain had no Interest

added, there would be 10,000 men, In
order to adjust the lamentable differences
which had a,rlsep between Italy and the

Pennsylvania's Success in Ar

Special Diipalcli to Eieiiiiitr Public Lttott
Camp Ulx, N. J April 1. Efforts are
now being made by Jereeymert, especi
ally those residing In the southern part
of the state, to bring the Seventh-eighth
Division back to Dlx for demobilization
For some time past It was taken for
granted that the "Lightning" Division
men would return to their olu stamping
ground, but the fact that Pennsjlva
nlans have obtained the consent of the
War Department for the demobilizing
of the Twenty-eighth Division hero hns
awakened the people ot Jersey to the
laci mot ir iney want tneir men re-
turned here they would have to do some I
hustling, ns It Is likely that the fact that
there are upper New York men In the (
ranks would make Camp Upton the i
most desirable post, as It Is within easy '
reach of the residents' of Xorth Jersey, j
One of the plans on foot is the hold
ing of a celebration at Dix for the men.
The cost of transporting them to any one.
c,lty would be too great and it would
be Just as easy for the people to come
here for tho reception and certain units
could be sent to virions towns for pa
rades, but the one big greeting to the
division would be given on the parade
grounds where the division passed In
review before Major General Hugh U
Scott, camp commander. Just before go
ing overseas, where they won tame and
glory.
The reconstruction of human bodies
has become a real science with the doc
tors at -Dix. and .hardly a day goes by
that some feat of surgery is not pei
formed and some soldier given a better
chance to make his .living In civilian
life. Among the latest to benefit at the
hands of tho doctor is Private Jamei
Phillip, of Monongahela, Pa., a member
of Company A, 110th Infanti.v, who ws
wounded twice while fighting with the
Keystone men last summer.
The first wound was received in June
