This announcement means that the
movement of the American troops now
in England, the majority of whom are
in air service detachments, will con
tinue steadily until all of them, some
24.000. have returned to this country.
There are no regiments or other units
of line troops In Great Britain.
The first movement of larger units,
such as brigades and divisions, will
come from French ports, it is assumed,
as the British cross-chsnnel service un
doubtedly is completely occupied with
the transportation of returning Brit
ish forces.

Before General March's announce
ment Secretary Baker discussed withj
newspaper correspondents the return of
American troops from France. Their
homeward movement, he said, is de
pendent almost entirely upon the limi
tation of transportation facilities both
at sea and in France.
Dutch Craft Be Tsed.
Besides employing in this work the
German liners seised in this country,
Dutch vessels taken over and all other
available transports. Mr. Baker said,
some part of the British troop 'tonnage
employed In carrying troops to France
will continue to be used in getting the
men home. He pointed out. however,
that Great Britain will need many of
her ships to carry home Canadian. Aus
tralian, New Zealand and other colonial
forces which have been in France
longer than the American armies. The
Secretary said the great British liners
Mauretania, Olympic and Aquitania
have been in the American transport
service for a year and the Mauretania
still is so engaged.
He could not say whether the other
two had been withdrawn.
German liners now In German ports.
Mr. Baker said, may offer a means of
expediting the return of the American
forces. Present plans are to use these
vessels to carry food to Germany and
the Secretary said it might be found
possible to make soma arrangement
under which some of General Per
shing's men could be sent home on
them. Before sailing for Europe to
arrange for the return of the troops
Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping
Board, said it was the purpose to use
ships now Idle In German porta Mr.
Baker, however, did not indicate today
that any steps to that end have yet
been taken.
Government generally and substantl
ally were that It had come into the
war not alone on account of specific
grievances against Germany, but on ac
count also of certain fundamental prin
ciples of justice and right. These prin
ciples had been announced with full
ness several times by the American
government, and had resulted in a
great effort by the American people.
Looked at from Washington, these
principles each time they had been
enunciated in part or whole had been
received favorably by the European
peoples and seemingly by the allied
governments. It was not meant to be
understood that the' American govern
ment has thought the allied govern
ments had formally accepted them, but
the attitude of the ministers unoffi
cially and of the press and of all emi
nent men outside of the Immediate ad
ministrations and the peoples as a
whole had caused the conviction to
prevail In America that these prin
ciples had been approved and' accepted
as ideals on which the war was being
prosecuted. '
I, S. Points Emphasised. j
The American people never had been
conscious that they were fighting for
territorial or colonial interests of any
allied governments, excepting insofar
as these came within the frameworS
of the American Government's prln
ciples. Consequently, it was necessary
to bring out that these points, having
been accepted by the' central powers.
presented a clean issue as to whether
they were to be officially accepted by
the allied powers.
If the allied powers could not eee
their way clearN to accept them the
American Government was In the posi
tion of having conducted the war for
purposes which were not identical with
those of the allies.
This presented a rather delicate issue
at the outset, as it was realized that it
might require the submission of the
entire subject to the' American Con
gress. The European ministers felt
the force of the views presented, and
this in time brought about an entire
agreement upon the American points
as a basis of peace negotiations.

Mrs. Alice Pritchard Struck by Train
While Demented.
ALBANY. Or, Nov. 25. (Special.)
Clad in a kimono, without shoes, and
about a mile from home. Mrs. Alice
J Pritchard was run down by a Corvallis
and Eastern train this side of Lyons
this morning, and now lies at the point
of death in St. Mary's Hospital in this
city. Her right leg was almost sev
ered from her body and she suffered
serious bruises and cuts about the
head, face and body. She was first ob
served by the engineer standing near a
water barrel on a bridge and when the
engine had about reached that point,
she suddenly started and ran down the
track in front of the train. The emer
gency brake was applied but the train
could not be stopped in time to avoid
the accident. She is said to have re
cently recovered from Spanish influ
enza and is thought to have been some
what demented.
STATE TAX LEVY FIXED
Six Per Cent Increase Allowed by
Law Will Produce $3,021,402.30.
6ALEM. "Or.. Nov. 25. (Special.)
While the state tax levy will not be
made op by. the State Tax Commis
sion until the middle of December, the
making up of the levy will be more or
ess a perfunctory task this year. The
levy will be $3,021,402.30. a safe predic
tion, as those figures represent 6 per
cent increase over the 82.856,205 of last
year, minus 861.250 paid for Mult
nomah County bridge bonds last year,
with t'8.750 added, to .be paid for
bridge bonds next year. The interest
on the bonds decreases each year be
fore the annual payments of $50,000 to
pay off the principal on such bonds.
Just when the levy will De made up
is problematical, as all of the county
reports are not in.
O. A. C. to Send Officers.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 25. (Special.)
The Government has sent word to Colo
nel Alfred C. Sharpe, commander of the
A. T. C at O. A. C that he- is to
name eight suitable officers to attend a
two weeks' course in physical training
and athletics at the University of
Washington. The course will open De
cember 9. Colonel Sharpe has been in
formed that the civilian director of the
unit may be designated if officers are
not available.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Delay in
the announcement of the names of the
American commissioners to the peace
conference at Versailles is understood
to be attributable to two causes.
First, that no decision has been
reached as to the number, and second,
that all of the persons whom the Presi
dent has in mind for places have not
yet had an opportunity to signify their
acceptance.
It is regarded as desirable that, the
number of the American commission
ers correspond to the number named
by each of the great entente powers.
Correspondence by cable now is going
on between Washington and the en
tente capitals with the purpose of com
ing to a common understanding on this
point.
Small Delegation Suggested.
The belief obtains in some quarters
here that the size of the delegation
should be very much restricted. A
minimum of as low as three has been
considered and five seems to meet with
some approval. It was said today that
although this might appear to be a
small force with which to undertake
the vast amount of important business
which is to come before the conference.
each delegation will be provided with a
numerous staff of experts capable of
dealing with any questions that knight
arise and that probably better progress
could be made toward the conclusion
of peace by a limited number of com
missioners who might be expected to
maintain more intimate relations with
one another than would be possible
with a large gathering.
In connection with the second cause
for delay in announcing the names of
the commissioners, it was said that
some of those Invited to act, particu
larly those of party affiliation oppo
site to that of the President, scarcely
would care to accept until they have
had an opportunity to study very care
fully the instructions by which the
commissioners will be strictly bound.
Meantime probably no one but the
President is yet aware of the probable
composition of the American delega
tion, although it is known that Secre
tary Lansing and Colonel House will
be members. If precedent is followed
In the naming of delegates. Ambassador
Sharp at Paris also will be one of the
number.
Juwruii to Visit France.
Ambassador Jusserand of France and
Mrs. Jusserand will accompany Presi
dent Wilson to France. The Ambassa
dor has not had a vacation since he
rushed back to America at the outbreak
of the war and he goes to Join in hie
people's celebration over victory and
probably to play a part in the peace
conference.
It became known today that he had
been invited to make the voyage on
the ship that carries the Presidential
party. The Invitation from the Presi
dent is regarded as a special tribute to
France and also as a mark of the high
esteem which President Wilson enter
tains personally for the Ambassador.
Ambassador Jusserand and Mrs. Jus
serand tonight gave the first reception
held at the French Embassy since the
beginning of the war. The occasion
was the celebration of the entry of
Marshal Foch into Strassburg, capital
of Alsace, at the head of Franco
American forces, and the guests in
cluded President and ' Mrs. Wilson,
members of the Cabinet, diplomatic
representatives of the allied and neu
tral countries and Army and Navy
officers.
Plana Are Kept Secret.
Although a week or more has gone
by since it was announced that the
President would go to Europe immedi
ately after the convening of Congress
next Monday, nothing has been made
known concerning his plans, such as
the sailing time or whether he will
first visit France or England.
From preparations being made in
England for his reception it is gen
erally believed that tiie President will
go to that country to stay several
days before continuing to Paris. It Is
known that several representatives of
the Government have preceded him to
England to arrange for his stay there.
There also has been no announce
ment as to what ship the President
will use in making the voyage. It was
said at first that he would cross on the
former North German Lloyd liner
Kaiser Wilhelm, which had a special
suite for the Kaiser. When prepara
tions for the use of this ship were
under way, however, there ' was a
chaige of plans and it now is said that
ne will cross on the ueorge Washing
ton, another former German liner
seized in an American port when this
Nation entered the war.

Republicans Object to Fixing Any
Limit, Because They Expect
to Control Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. By a strict
party vote the Senate finance commit
tee tonight decided to recommend that
the yield from the 1920 revenue bill beJ-
limited to $4,000,000,000. Ten Demo
cratic members, who voted for the
amount suggested by Secretary Mc-
Adoo, were opposed by the seven Re
publicans.
Re.fora adontine the S4.000.000.000
limit the committee voted down a pro
posal by Senator Gore, of Oklahoma,
Democrat, to leave the $6,000,000,000
bill of 1919 unchanged for 1920 and use
the $2,000,000,000 surplus for paying
outstanding Government obligations.
The vote was nine to eight. Senator
Gore joining with the seven Republi
can members.
Republicans object to fixing any
limit for taxation in 1920 because they
expect to control both the Senate and
House in the next Congress. Minority
members of the finance committee said
tonight they would take their fight to
the floor of the Senate and some Re
publican leaders have said that if the
Democrats insist upon this provision
of the revenue bill, enactment of the
measure by this Congress may be
blocked.
The motion i- fix the limit of 1920
taxes at $4,000,000,000 was made by
Chairman Simmons. The vote on the
rollcall follows:
Ayes, Democrats Simmons, Will
iams, Smith of Georgia, Thomas, Rob-
nson. Gore, Jojies of New Mexico,
Gerry, Lewis and Nugent.
Noes, Republicans Penrose, Lodge,
McCumber, Smoot, Dillingham, La Fol-
lette and Townaend. '
Work on the 1919 tax schedules is
nearly completed, Chairman Simmons
nnouncing tonight that the bill now
as been reduced to practically $6,000,-
000,000. Senator Simmons' amendment
exempting persons or partnerships en
gaged in trade or business from the
ar excess profits tax was adopted
today by the committee, as was an
mendment providing that a corpora-
on with a net income of not more I
than $20,000 a year shall not be taxed
more than 30 per cent. In the House
ill the minimum levy was fixed at 3a
per cent.
Naval estimates for 1920 have been
reduced $1,180,315,000, as the result of
the signing of the armistice. Secretary
McAdoo was informed today by Sec
retary Daniels. The original estimate
on a war basis was $2,644,307,000 and
this has been reduced to $1,463,992,000.
