FEW CITIES SEE FULL DIVISIONS fr ' v Parade* May Be Held Only Near Porto?Pointed Out That Probably Only Boston, - New York and Washington Will Win. e _______ Washington, Feb. 11.?Parade of complete divisions of the American army returning from France probably can be held only in a few cities in the .immediate vicinity of the debarkation ports. The response to the request of many other localities for divisional reviews of its own troops - likely will have to be the parading! of not more than a regiment. This, it w*s learned today, is the conviction, of officers at the war depart-j ment who have been studying home coming parades proposals. ' Cities in which it probably would' be possible to hold divisional reviews, j i these officers said, are Boston, New' r ' v ; , i. York and -Washington. To hold such ' - ?J- -- ? -_i_^ j a tiro a ! S paraue in Mil imaiiu viujr, iv nao, said, would be almost impossible and quite impracticable. . '* War- department officials were saidj to have found that serious disruption '. of tail traffic for several days, grave' danger of congestion at ports of ar-j i rival and a resultant slowing up of tbe Whole process of demobilization woold be involved in an attempt to( carry a completed division to even: , * ?uch a -city as Chicago, supplied with1 many rail outlets, and large terminal j > facilities. Half the.tourist car equipment of the country, it was estimat ed, would be needed to make up more ~thaa'50 trains necessaiy to carry the number of troops, even without any heavy impediment such as the artillery, and wagon trains. Officers said ( that using five rail lines crut of New York at SO minutes headway on each line, it would take five hours from the time the first unit arrived until the last reached its destination and that during/the entire time all five ' roads Would be practically given over entirely'to this single troop movement. -' I ^ Another factor of great import-' ante, it waa asserted; would be the disruption of' demobilization machinery at the ports of arrival. New York j the chief port, has two reception camps, Merritt and Mills. If the & schedule of 300,000 men to be re-! p turned a month is to be reached, j these camps must be filled and emp-i' K' * tied five or six times every 30 days 1 */, imd regmients-and other units must ' - be passed through to their demobili- (' ,-r1: nation centers as rapidly as they j arrive from overseas. Officers esti-j \ i mate it would take the full machinery of both camps five or six days at, L top speed to receive, inspect and disi infect a division at full strength. \ Should divisional units be held until; all had arnved and been passed through, as would be necessary in arranging for a divisional parade, iY was said the camps would be filled with'waiting troops while units from other divisions< which might arrive V-V1- __?1J 1 1.

TERMS OF ARMISTICE NOT, BEING CARRIED OUT IN FULL Series of Proposals of Drastic Nature Designed to Place Enemy Beyond Any.'Possibility of Renewing Conflict?Menace Very Real From Standpoint of French. / . 1 Paris, Feb. 11.?The supreme war council, in which 'Marshal Foch and other, military commanders sit with the council of the great powers, continued today the discussion of the terms for the renewal of the German armistice without reaching a decision. At the same time the league of nations commission virtually completed the final draft of that project, assuring its presentation . at a plenary session the latter part of the week. The discussion of the armistice took a wide range, including the failure to execute some of the clauses of the previous armistice, the blockade and the use of enemy merchant shipping. But the main issue turned on a series of proposals of a rather drastic nature, designed to place the enemy beyond the possi-| bility of rearming ax^d renewing the j conmct. From.the French standpoint the menace of such renewal is not past, and it is urged as a matter of foresight that suitable safeguards be established. What these safeguards are has not been disclosed, but it is generally understood that they include the Hmitaion of the production of field and heavy guns, and an exact accounting of heavy guns now on hand, also some limitation of the military organization which is to be police service. While some of the military commanders take the view that radical measures are needed to assure the allies, particularly . France, against possibility' of renewed peril, yet other 'views tend to place reliance on economic measures as the best means of averting any renewal of enemy activity. '* S PENNEY'S CREEK ?
