FIRST TROOPS IN
EUROPE LEAVE FOR
HOME THIS WEEK.
Washington, Nov. 25.—First units
of the American expeditionary forces
to return from overseas are expected
to arrive in New York about the end
of the present week.
General March, chief of staff, an
nounced tonight that 382 officers and
6,614 men of the air service and oth
er detachments training in England,
now are homeward bound on the
Minnekahda, Lapland, and Orca, Brit
ish liners. The first two ships left
Liverpool last Friday and the Oreo
sailed on Saturday.
This announcement means that the
movement of the American troops
now in England, the majority of
whom are in air service detachments,
will continue steadily until all of
them, some 20,000, have returned to
this country. There are no regi
ments or other units of line troops in
Great Britain.
The first movement of the larger
units, such as brigades and divisions
will come from French ports, it is
assumed, as the British cross chan
nel service is undoubtedly completely
occupied with the transportation of
returning British forces. ,
Before General March’s announce
ment, Secretary Baker discussed with
newspaper correspondents the return
of American troops from France.
Their homeward movement, he said,
depends almost entirely upon the lim
itation of transportation facilities,
both at sea and in France.
KILLING PLACES.
A Frenchman was waiting at a rail
road station in Ireland when a couple
of natives sat down beside him.
Said one: “Sure, Pat, it’s down to
Kilmary I’ve been, and I’m on my
vay back to Kilpatrick.”
“Ye don’t say so,” said the
other. “It’s meself that’s just after
being down to Kilkenny, and I stop
here a bit before I go to Kilmore.”
“What assassins!” exclaimed the
Frenchman. “Would that I were
safely back in France!”
HERE AND THERE IN ARKANSAS

Twenty-eight car loads of rice were

week to Belgium to be distributed un
der the supervision of Mr. Hoover.
This is the second shipment from De
Witt of rice to feed the Belgians and

Aleen, three-year-old daughter of

Forest, was playing with seme other

head, breaking her nek. She died in
a few minutes.
A drive against wolves was made
in Watalula township of Franklin
county yesterday and last night. The
wolves were so numerous that the
drive was necessary to protect stock.
Esquire W. E. Haynie of Gurdon
sacrificed a luxurious growth of
whiskers when the armistice was

The Tri-County Fair at Fordyce,
which was postponed on account of

She was said to be 105 years old. She
