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

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.

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.
