(By Associated Prats). N
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 16. Orders have been
issued today for the gradual demobilization of all troops
now in the United States.
General March announced that the demobilization
would be in the following erder: First. 'the development

objectors, now unaer arrest; intra, spruce envision; xounn,
central training schools for officers, with some modifica
tions; fifth; United States Guards, now numbering 135,
000; sixth, railway units; seventh, depot brigade; eighth,
replacement units; ninth, combat divisions.
There are 1,790,000 men now under arms in the country.
The orders for immediate demobilization for 200,000 of
these have been issued ,and they will be home within two
weeks.
When the reduction plan is in full operation 30,000 men
per day will be released.
General Pershing will decide which men are to return
home from France first. All eick and wounded will be
brought home immediately.
The divisions are to be returned to the localities from
which the majority of the men came, and be paraded in the
adjacent cities, so the people can fittingly welcome them.
The camps of this country are to be cleared to prepare
for the returned forces. The Rainbow division, due to its
brilliant record and unusual composition, will be especial
ly considered in the demobilization plans, and will prob
ably be .paraded in Washington.
Steps have been taken toward the organization of a per-

Public opinion here la divided.

unanimously Wllsonlnn In their atti

seemingly rebel at the escape of the
former kaiser, who waa regarded a
the principal artery of war and the
murderer of '10,000,000. These are
In favor or an International high
court to pas Judgment on his case.
They oppose banishment aa tending to
Nnpoleonlse him Into a hero to which
he Is not worthy. Others declare the
kaiser and crown prince were marion
ette In the hands of the militarists
and kings of commerce, who are'the
ones responsible for the war. They
contend that; If possible, these ring
leaders also 'should be haled before
nn International court so that some
thing like Justice might be achieved.
The opinion la unanlmouatht the
allies have hard Joba In fixing Qer

Lloyd George tsaM that the lesgne
of natlona waa more necessary now
than ever, and pointed out condltlona
that precalled In the Balkan before
the war, now affecting practically two
thirds of Europe. A large number of
small nations have been re-bora In
Europe, and there will require a
league ot nations to project them
against "co'votousness of ambitious,
grasping neighbors," he declared.
"In my Judgment a league of na
