TROOPS RETURN FROM ENGLAND Morn Hill Is Clearing Station for Homecoming Yanks Winchester, Eng., May 3.—Morn Hill, one of the huge military res ervations on the heights overloking this picturesque old city, is again an American camp. During the war it was the principal assembly ground in England for American legions on the way to the war. Now it is the clearing station for thousands of battle-worn Americans who are on the way home. They are the men who fought with the British forces. All the far-flung armies of the empire are contributing to this as semblage. The Americans are com ing chiefly from Prance and the oc cupation forces in Germany, but large numbers are making longer journeys. Some have served in Pal estine, some in Egypt, some in South Africa and others in India. Many are still in the East and others are with the British forces in various parts of Russia. It is reckoned that it will bo six or eight months be fore all can be brought to England. Meantime, as fast as the Ameri cans arrive in this country they are sent to Winchester and put through the process of demobilization and repatriation. Other camps here are being used to comb out Colonials who served with the English instead of with their own armies. The majority of the Americans who joined the British forces en listed in Canada. Most of these are to be sent back, not to the point of enlistment, but to their homes in the States a stipulation that was gen erally insisted upon by Americans when they volunteered their serv ices. Repatriation machinery turn slow ly and there are often considerable delays, as it frequently happens that a soldier arrives at the camp weeks before his papers filter through the devious channels in which they move. It is only by his papers that a man's identity can be officially established. Great earo is exercised in this matter for, in the British army, there have been many instan ces of soldiers exchanging names and identification disks. If an American serving with a British regiment wished to remain in England and a British comrade wanted to go to America, it would bo cosy enough, it was pointed out to the - correspondent, for them to swap names and disks, and if the real Tommy was well coached and did not drop too many of his "h's," the scheme might succeed. After repatriation, the Americans are sent home as soon as transports can be provided at Southampton, which is only a dozen miles away. Special sailings are arranged for the soldiers who are taking wives back with them. HAHRISBTIRG TELEGRAPH CONTINUE HUNT FOR SENDERS OF BOMBS IN MAILS Federal Agents Have Several Radicals Under Suspicion New York, May 3.—Agents of the Department of Justice, post office inspectors and New York detectives under Inspector Faurot continued to-day their hunt for the anarchists who deposited in the mails more than a score of deadly dynamite bombs addressed to prominent men in all parts of the country, but no arrests have been made thus far. It was intimated, however, that several radicals were under suspicion. Details of the progress made in the inquiry were not disclosed on the ground that undue publicity might enable the reds sought to escape. Captain H. D. Trounce, explosives expert of the Bureau of Mines, ar rived here yesterday from Washing ton. With experts of the police and fire departments ho made a close examination of the bombs. It was found that the dynamite used in them was of the ordinary commer cial variety, but that it had been soaked in nitrogylcerine to make it more deadly. The bombs which have not yet been examined were hastily removed from the post office yesterday when it was discovered that the acid in the phials designed to explode fulmi nate of mercury caps, was eating through the corks, threatening an explosion. Officers at work on the case are virtually convinced the infernal ma chines were made in this city. They expressed satisfaction at their suc cess in finding the plant which manufactured the paper use as a covering for the bombs. Only a small quantity of the paper has been distributed and it may be pos sible to trace the assassins of it. It was said there appeared to be no connection between the bomb conspiracy and the finding of a quan tity of explosives in a house In West 4 sth street raided by government agents seeking narcotics illegally held. Strength of New German Army is Fixed at 241,500 . .Willi the American Army of Occu pation, May 3.—The strength of the new German army or Reichswehr has provisionally been fixed at 241,- 500 men, according to information recently reaching American officers in charge of keeping tab on the de mobilization and readjustment of enemy forces. There are to be six teen large and eleven small brigades, the large brigades have 10.4C2 men each and the small brigades 5,83 9 men each. Corps troops are to num ber 5,458 and General Headquarters troops about 10,000 men, according to the present plans. Now that the 1899 class of the old German army is rapidly being discharged from all units excepting a few in the guard corps and on the eastern front, there soon will remain in the garrisons throughout Ger many only two classes of troops— the new and independent volunteer units and the volunteer remants of the old army units. Some of the volunteer irmants have been plan ning to combine with the new in dependent volunteer units for the Reichswehr, but in many other in stances it is apparent they are sim ply drifting, awaiting some decision by the War Ministry as to their fut ure. Reports that the War Ministry is planning to maintain small garri sons in every town indicate the pos sibility that these remants are to remain in the old departments, rather than bo transferred into the new volunteer units. Weds Girl Just Before he was to Sail for America Winchester, England, May 3. ■—■ One husky Michigan lad now at the camp missed his chance to get away with the last shipload of unmarried men by making a sudden entry into the matrimonial state. A day or two before ills transport was to sail lie was spending the afternoon with an American girl he had met in Win chester. She was from Patterson, N. J., and he called her "Jersey." "Well, this is good-bye," he said as he was about to return to camp. Thinking of homo dimmed tho girl's eyes. "Gee, I wish I was going too!" she exclaimed. "You mean that, Kid,' said the big Middle Westerner. "I sure do," she replied. Touched by her tears, he made a quick decision. "All right, come along with me," he said, seizing her arm. Ho knew where a special li cense could bo obtained, and a few hours later they were man and wife. In telling the correspondent of his romance, the soldier remarked: "I wouldn't leave a dog on this side that good old Statue of Liberty." He meant no disrescpect to his bride. A special canteen for these home ward bound soldiers has been estab lished at Morn Hill by the American Red Cross.
