Washington. Nov. 26. Nearly
seven thousand American troops are
expected to arrive in New York bo
fore the end of this week, consti
tuting the tirst units of the expe
ditionaiy forces to be returned honte.
The troops, consisting of 882 offi
cers and 6.614 tnen of the atr serv
ice ond other training detachments,
left Liverpool last Friday and Satur
day. The ynlts. all of which have
been In training in England, are be
ing brought home on three British
liners, the Minnehaha. Lapland and
Otca. _
Details of the plans for demobiliz
ing these units nave not been an-
rourced. So fir as possible, it is,
presumed, the units expected to ar- <
rive this week will be sent to camps j
rear the homes of the men and the
demobilization will take pli.o at
'."nose camps.
Of hots Soon to Follow
The ssven thousand now on route,
home will be followed soon by.other
units of the twenty thousand Amer- j
ican troops in training In England.,
Secretary Baker said yesterday thai j
the homeward troop movement will f
lie limited only by transportation fa
cilities. Use of former German ships 1
seized in this country. Dutch vessels

ernment, American ships and prob

Sick and wounded American sol- !
diers who were held prisoner by the j
Germans and who are not strong i
enough to be moved at the present j
time will be cared for by the Amer- i
ican Red Cross through Alfred Key. I
a. Swiss neutral delegate with large ,
German experience and acquaint-1
nnee. A cablegram received to-day at
Red Cross headquarters here from
Paris said it is planned to place all
these Americans in a. central hos->

can medical attendance for them.
I-ondon. Nov. 26-. —In planning the
withdrawal of American troops front
England as soon as possible. Ameri-,
i tan Arfr.v Officers have deeided/.hft j
the only units tvhicif will remain are
a few of the medical service and the
etaffs of the rest camps. It is hardly j
piobable. however, that these rest
* ctmps will be required, as troops are .
being sent home dliectly from France ■
and the few units now in England
belong to regiments in France and ]
may be sent there.
To Clear F.ngllsh Hospitals
Steps also are being taken to clear ,
hospitals here. It has been decided i
that patients who are not likely to j
recover within two months anil be i
sent home as soon as suitable ships ]
are available. When the Mauretania
sailed yesterday she took between >
5.000 and 6,000 men from the flying I
corps. It is planned to dispatch a!
steamer to America pvery day this:
week.
Admiral Henry T. Mayo, com-*
mander ©f the Atlantic Fleet, is re- j
turning on the Mauretania.
"I am returning to America after,
three months' association with the
Allies in British. French and Italian
waters." said the admiral before
sailing. "The American Navy is j
very proud to have been associa*ed ;
. with the Allies in the latter part of
the war. We appreciate that it was:
-se-power that won this wonderful
victor}', and it is impossible to pay
too high a tribute to trie great Brit
ish navy."'

TUESDAY EVENING, HABIUSBUHO TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 26, 1918.
'GOV. BRUMBAUGH
MADE HISTORIAN
[Continued from First Page.]
| Governor anil Lieutenant Governor
' elect will automatically become j
k members of the commission upon •
their inauguration on January 1. It j
i is the plan to have the Governor oe- •
: cupy the reception room of the Ad-
Hjutant General's Department as the
j headquarters of the new bureau.
When the Governor was asked
what the War Service Bureau was to j
|be he said that it was "what the •
newspapers had been talking about," ;
and that the resolution would ex- ,
- plain the scope. The resolution calls :
( 1 for preparation of data relative to j
'' the patriotic service of everyone who (
• had anything to do with war nctivi- .
ities in Pennsylvania and who served I
in the armed forces or in govern- j
nient.
Hall Not Mentioned
Members of the commission de
clined to discuss the legality of the
commission establishing a bureau in
!a department of the state govern
ment. established by the Legislating
and maintained by direct appropria
,, lion or whether the commission
j could continue voting money after
' the emergencies created by the war
; had ended. Neither would ttiey dis
cuss the effect of the protect tiled
!by Walter 11. Gaither. ex-Public
Service Commissioner, against pay
i ment of any money from the $2,000,-
000 fund for direct work instead of ;
[through the Council of National De- j
, fense. They likewise declined to
icommnt upon the possibility that!
some one might raise the question j
! that the Legislature should vote the ,
money for the war history.
The incoming Defense Commission
can change the arrangement, if it i
desires. It was stated that no refer
' enee to reports that William H. Ball, j
■ secretary to the Governor, as oolla- ;
j borator. had been made.
• Ask For Report
j At the close of the meeting Gov-!
j ernor Brumbaugh announced thati
; the Commission had requested L. F. !
Sadler, executive secretary of the
i State Council of National Defence.:
to report by December 15 what ac-j
j tivities of the State Council could'
i be closed by January 1 and what'
should be continued. Some of tliem
will be ended on December 24. i
I Lieutenant Governor McClain two
• weeks ago cut off expenses amount-:
j ing to $20,000, it was stated. In;
] opinion of the governor the contin- j
j uance of the food conservation work
i would be advisable and it was thei
j sense of the commission that the
'employment bureau work should be'
j returned *o the slate government.
It has been operated in conjunc-'
tion with the federal authorities and'
J the council. At that time it will
' also be ascertained how much
! farther the commonwealth could ask
men active in affairs to continue ■
; their free service on the council or
• its subordinate bodies.
| The commission to .day voted to
distribute the 29 farm tractors pur- !
I chased to furnish tractor service to
i farmers to state institutions having
farms. State College and branches of],
! the state government sutilt n Q).e ■
! Highway departmentTVj baflyle snow'
; plows and the Department of Agri- j
] culture. This will be directed by j
Lieutenant Governor McClain.
It was also given as the judg- 1
! ment of the commission that no!
i more commissions to volunteer state
policemen should be issued and a!
! resolution was passed approving!
| acts of the policemen. Bixteen j
thousand men fcave ]been comlhts
• d atul tiny wAll be'effective un
' til peace is signed.
The commission also approved a j
! guarantee of $l,OOO to the state farm j
! products show to be held here in i
! January, this sum to be used in.
! event that any deficit occurs.
Nothing Official
When Auditor General Snyder was 1
i asked what there was fo.-acories thart
I the selection of the Governor had!
; been agreed uron some time ago!
; he replied ''Xhe action of November 1
j 12 was confirmed."
, There was no meeting of the Com- j.
mission on that day according to 11
; members so it is assumed that a
; conference was held.
| For some time there have been |
i reports that the Governor was going
! to leave all judicial and other ap- <
j pointments to his successor.
Walter H. Gaither. ex-public serv-!
ice commissioner, who had filed the j
protest against the payment of any|
money by the commission, said when i
| he heard of the action of the War i
Board, "My attorney, Charles G-j
Stroh is out of the city, and I can j
rot say what the nature of the]
legal proceedings will be. I certainly]
do not propose to drop the matter.".
I have nothing further to say. t
The Philadelphia Press In discus-]
sing the matter editorially to-day
said: "There may be some question
I- about the propriety of selecting Gov
ernor Brumbaugh to prepare the
history of Pennsylvania's participa
. tlon in the war. and paying him out
of the two millions appropriated for
the defense of the state, but there
j can be no question that such a his
tory complete in every detail, and]
, overlooking no individual, must be j
prepared. It is a matter, however, j
| which belongs to the Legislature j
J now soon to meet. That body can be j
, relied upon to do its duty iri the cir-,
leumstanees, and the selection of the!
(historian who must be someone,
with recognized qualifications for the]
work—can be safely entrusted to the]
new Governor by legislative direc
tion. it is the business of the leg
islature to make a direct uppropria- I
tion for the purpose, and leave open :
no question as to the legality of the
expenditure by taking the money
without proper authorization from j
a fund intended for another pur-1
pose. Neither the authority of the |
Legislature nor of the Governor),
should be forestalled."
JUVENILE CRIME

'much trouble. Association with oth-i
|er boys who have much influence j
! over him is largely the cause of the j
! trouble, officials believe.
A Few Truants
seven cases of incorrigibility are
1 listed, and there are a few children
ito be heard on truancy charges. In .
the former cases parents have re-i
ported that they are unable to eon
] trol the .children, some of whom i
: stay out at night or leave home for i
weeks at a time.
In another case seven boys have
' been held for court on a charge of!
! breaking into a large storage build-;
i ing. stealing 200 automobile spark
plugs valued at $5O each, .and about,
. 500 rifle bullets. The boys range j
from 9 to 16 years of age, most of,
j them about 11 or 12. Five other
; boys, all about 14 years of age. are,
; charged with breaking into a cigar
; factory and stealing merchandise
valued at $25. Twelve boys, most of ■
'them from 9 to 14 years of age.!
are held on a charge of larceny of;
■ tools and malicious mischief.
$203,179,038 Total
of War Work Fund
New } oris. Nov. 26. A total of i
200.179.03S was contributed to the
United War Work Campaign for the'
seven accredited war work agencies.
"The result is .the largest sum ever
provided through voluntary offerings
in the history of mankind." said Dr.
John R. Mott. director general of the
campaign, in making public the fig- j
.ures last evening.
'Clie amount sought, was $179,5*0.-1
' 000. The amount raised included cou\'
trlbutions from tlse .states, foreign;
1 countries, the Army and Navy, and in
-1 sular possessions. Every state went [
"over the top." Fourteen states pledg- ;
ed 150 per cent, or more. Arizona
i heads the list with 24S per cent, of:
' its quota.
i "The campaign has furnished tb p ,
! most impressive example thus far af
: forded of religious unity and co-op- !
| evfttioit.'., said Dr. Mott. "When be-!
fqre havf the leaders and thy many]"
' mill tons of followers of the "Proles- ]
tant, Htman Catholic and Jewish re- ,
i ligious bodies of a great nation join
i ed forces for the accomplishment of]
! a common, unselfish object? The cam
paign has generated in many a com- I
j munitv an atmosphere of truer under- I
, standing—an atmosphere in which]
i men come to loath to differ and to de- i
I termine to understand. It is a great ]
thing for any people tvhep, without;
weakening or sacrificing arty. Vital'
i principles, they make W fhetr minds !
! to resolve that they will seek to un- ;
derstand those from whom they may j
have conscientiously differed.

An International Service Built
on Tiny Profits Per Pound
Some industries have been able to get in step with war demands s
more quickly than others.
In many cases mighty plants have sprung up—but at a prodig
ious cost.
The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of
demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this
was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars,
branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of t
efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international
system for war service. 1
And how had this development taken .place ?
Not by making vast inroads into the capital wealth of the country,
but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to pro
vide for expansion.
Swift & Company's profits have always been so tiny, compared
with sales, that they have had practically no effect on the price of
meat, (amounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound).
' And yet the owners of the business have been content with
reasonable returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year,
to put part of the profits back into the business to provide for its
expansion.
,j These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to the public many
fold in the form of better service, and better and cheaper meat, and
made it possible for Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sud
den cry for meat for overseas.
Could any other method of financing a vital industry involve less
hardship to the people of the country ? Could there be a better instance %
of true "profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness and in
mi V"ii .... naitienal preparedness? * -
