Sibley, its correspondent with the Twenty-sixth ldi\'lsion in France: With the Yankee Division Nov. 18. —We aro out of the line and billeted in towns lying about midway between Verdun and Bar le Duc. ince the day the guns stopped firing, a week ago, we have had clear, cold weather and the ground stays frozen practical- 1y all day. The division is on its way training area—just at pres area lying south of Ne where 1t got its first training, a year ago—and east of Langres, where the schools are. This order, however, may be changed. It was the flrst one given; then another issued, sending us to the area next doo pon receiving this the division intelligence officer, Capt. Her: set forth to spy out the land, to learn billeting capacity and to billet the division. He had finished his work, and was on his way back, when a third order arrived sending us back to our criginal area. A mes- senger caught him, and he had to go back and do his work all over again. None of us has yet arrived at a realization of what the cessation of hostilitiss actvally means. The ending of a world war is so tremendous in its effects that only as one detail afe er another appears, each directly ap- plying to us, does our view broaden. The mere matter ¢f moving out of line brings up this reflection. 8ix divisions have been named as the army of occupation. Seven were on the list, and Gen. Frank E. Bamford, | commanding the Yankee Division, | was asked by the 1st Army whether his division was in condition to go forward. He answered that, much as he re- gretted to say so, the division could not go forward. It was thereupon removed from the list and was or- dered to fall back from the line. The 6th Division relieved vs, and we slid back to points just below Verdun, the | next day moving to our present | towns. The area and all the areas about | here were full of troops. An army | corps headquarters moved out of this | town as our division headquarters moved in—in fact, cur trucks got in | before theirs got out. Below the 29th Divislon is strand- ed, unable to mov The shortage of horses and trucks is so great—due, of | course, to the wastage of war—that | every division not cn line duty or go- ing forward has been stripped of the greater part of its transportation. Orders have come daily, row for 50 little cars, now for two or three big passenger cars, again for 50 camions. It is already a difficult matter to move ourselves. The artillery brigade, as soon as it reaches o railrcad, will be reduced to 400 horses; already it is so short of animals that only two are allowed to haul a gun. In similar fashion, officers are he- ing called for in big batches. One hundred and fifty left in one bunch; some of the 1eglments are almost without officers. Sergeants are In command of companies, None of this i1s criticism; it is told merely to show what the enormous difficulty of geiiing out of a war that has stopped comes to. to a HUNS TALK NEXT WAR. Officials Are Already Scheming for Airplane Supply. ‘Washington, Dec. 11.—Deciston of airplane manufacturers in Germany to turn their plants to making furni- ture has led to a protest from officials of the German government, according to official advices reaching Washing- ton, The point was sald to have been made that in order to be ready for the next war Germany must replace the airplanes which it 18 required to turn over to the assoclated nations under the terms of the armlistice. Commenting on the protest, the Badish Landes Zeltung declared the next war will be won in the air and advises the government to make new contracts with the manufacturers ‘‘to allow Germany to remain in posses- sion of the number of flying machines needed to face the dangers that may menace her in the courso of the com- ing years.” BASKETBALL: SPECTAL - HOT OFF THE PRESS Vhe “Basketball Spectal,” a supple- ment to the Fafair Bearing ‘‘Dragon,” which is the monthly shop paper of the Fafnir Bearing company, has made its appearance.

A few who for special reasons needed to come home complied with the order, but some fifty of the m sionaries of the American Board de- clined to leave their work and the people they were helping. From within Turkey there have come fre- quent but brief reperts that the 50 missionaries cf the board are well, but living under high pressure. It should in justice be said that the Turkish officials have been generally friendly and helpful.’ India and Africa. Concarning India, Secretary Barton said that back of the unrest in that country ihere were evidences that the work of the gospel *“‘was shaking In- dia from center to circumference.’” Of Africa he said: “Strange as it mey scem, each one of our three mission centers in Afri- ca appeals as it has never appealed before for more men and women, in | order to help meet the immediate de- mands.” China and the Phillippines. In speaking of China, Secretary Barton said it was impossible to set forth the situation there as it related to missions in terms that would be fair. He said the leading Chinese had begun to realize trat a nation that ex- pects to stand on equal terms with the other nations of the world must ‘have a basis in moral standards which other nations reccenize. Of the Philippines, he sald American board had a miseion fleld unsurpassed in opportunity. It is a land of ‘virgin paganism” he assert- ed. the Misionary Work in Mexico. In conclusion Secretary Barton said: “Mexico, at our door, is trying to find herself under a new confilt‘ltlon. with part of the country still in a state of unstable equilibrium.
