DEMOBILIZING
OF BRITISH IN
FULL SWING
LONDON, Dec. 2S (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).— Demobili
zation of the British army now is in
full swing. Up to the present time
through the six dispersal stations in
a total of SO,000 men have passed
England and Scotland, and skilled
workers are being returned to Indus
try in rapidly increasing numbers
Soon fifteen dispersal stations will be
In operation, each of which will be
capable of dealing with 2,000 men
every twenty four hours.
According to Major General B K
Burnett-Hitchcock. director general of
demobilization, who at Camp Wimble
don today explained to a representa
tive of the Associated Press the de
tails of the work, it will he a long
time before the demobilization limit
has been reached. The question of
j the number of men each of the asso
j dated governments Is to leave in the i
enemy countries for occupation pur
1 poses will be determined at the peace !
j conference. The following classes are
j being demobilized en bloc here:
Miners, sick and wounded soldiers,
convalescents, men over 41 who were
called up in the last draft, "pivotal" |
: or leading men in industry, students
| and teachers.
! Those that will not be demobilized |
for the present are the railway per ,
sonnel in France, men having to do j
with transportation generally, and [
! those in charge of horses,
i .Many physicians have been released
i but a sufficient force will be retained
i to care for tile 500.000 sick and wound
ed now under treatment
General Hitchcock had been work
ing on demobilization plans for
eighteen months prior to the signing
of the armistice, and his machinery
was as nearly ready for its work as i
i the’ exigencies of the win permitted.
■The main outlines of his scheme were
borrowed from the measures taken
by the Japanese after their war with
Russia.
'The1 actual number of units to be
gotten ready for demobilization," said
General Hitchcock, "is 17,000. There j
are nineteen categories of men, each j
category huving different legal rights j
to be safeguarded.
"The rate of demobilization depends
upon transportation facilities. More
and more ships are being converted '
into transports, and they soon will
exceed berth accommodation at the !
| various ports from which the men !
| are being stnt home, Kvery ship
j from France is now bringing over
j troops, some from the front. The
bulk of them are miners, 25.000 having
been released from the army to date."
Conditions of rail and road trims
portal ion in France are extremely Imd,
he pointed out, and the question of
supplying the army of occupation in
Germany was paramount
Just because a man is on leave at
home doesn't entitle him. said General
Hitchcock, to be mustered out of serv
ice before a soldier in the field. N’or
is the question of a man's discharge
left in the hands of the commanding
officers. "A commanding officer can't
say," the general continued. 'Well, this
man makes a good waiter at the mess
and we won't let him go.' "
"Companionate cases," thut is,
where the wife of a soldier Is seriously
ill or where there are motherleess chil
dren. are being dealt with as quickly
as possible.
Soldiers are bringing home vast
quantities of luggage. One ship from
Holland had 2,800 tons of it. includ
mg lour grand pianos ami a beehive,
which was overturned and an officer!
badly stung.
At the Wimbledon station the cor j
respondent saw the working of the
demobilization machinery. On arrival
the men find a hot meal awaiting
them, no matter what the hour of day
or night. Each receives a ration book,
an unemployment policy, a railway
warrant, a pamphlet of good advice,
$l<t. a label for the return of his over
coat. and a certificate entitling him to
'Ilaw pay and all allowances for 28
days.
Thorough identification of the re
turning soldier is regarded as Impor
tant. "You would be surprised.” said
General Hitchcock, "to know how
many Tommies change their identifica
tion disks with pals. It's the same
in the French army. Why they do It
is beyond understanding. We are al
ways burying the wrong man.”
The soldier turns over his rifle and
accoutrements, hut he is permitted to
keep his uniform and "tin hat.” He
must return his army overcoat within
a month, receiving $5 for it.
One of the staton huts is a tailor
shop, where the soldier Is given his
choice of three suits of varying
weights and patterns, made to his
measurement. If he does not want the
civilian suit he is given $12.50. The
wise soldier takes the suit, for at pres
ent prices It would cost him consider
ibly more than $20.•
