Since arrival in this area, this di vision has been designated for re turn to the I'nited States, the latest date at which it must be ready for ' embarkation being March 1. I furnish you the above informa tion, fearing that my previous letter since it has been published, may have given the people of your state the impression that the division was to' remain permanently in Eu rope. T believe the policy of the president, and I know the desire of General Pershing, is to return all the forces to the I nited States as soon as the supply of shipping makes Euch transfer possible.

Af ter a long argument the bill went back to committee. "It ha brought more lobbyist to the legislature than any other meas ure.'' said Orton. "Talk about the paving lobby It isn't in with this one. The bill asks us to go back on a solemn agreement entered into with the Washington legislature. It would open thebars to a . flood of poor gasoline, utleily removing aty reauirements." ! J Senator Moer defended'-the bill and said no complaint had been made to the judiciary committee. "The sooner Senator Orton forgets about the paving lobby the better it will be all around," said Moser. "He changed positions three or four times on the paving bills. , Asfor the solemn agreement with Washington, that was made by a committee of three from this legislature-r-inclod-ing one senator, and we are not bound by one member of the sen ate." Senator Ritner combatted the bill. "As for lobbying,'' said Ritner. "this talk is all rot. Any 'business con cern, whether it be the Standard Oii company or the arren Construc tion company, or any other company, has a light to come here and urge or fight legislation in which they, are interested." Senator Bell attempted to have the I bill tabled, but failed. Senator Bank opposed the bill, declaring it Jn the interest of big business concerns, and contrary to the public interest. The measure also had the opposition ol Senator Farrell. Senator Howell defended his bill with Ibe assertion that the law is now being violated because of the impossibility of meeting the require ment. ; "Buyers now do not know what thev are getting." he said. "I be lieve thev should have protection by knowing what thev are getting." Senator Patterson wanted to know if there is any danger of getting the specific so low "that we will all hum distillate infitead and the state lose the tax of a cent a gallon on gaso line." "I am going to oppose the bill." Senator Pierce informed the senat. See what the notice will be to the Washington legislature if we pas this bill," Dimtck moved that the bill be re- refefred and this carried, the bill zo- ing back to the .judiciary commit tee.

This rush of aliens' to declare their Inten tions was said to have been caused by rumors circulated throughout the city that government "officials wer planning wholesale deportations of aliens said to be responsible for cir culation of pmapeanda advocating strikes and disturbances throughout the country. Up to date no action is known to have been taken by federal authorities in Montana look ing toward deportations of undesir able aliens.
