WHEN THE WAR IS ENDED

Selective System to Bo Used in Bringing Men Home. Washington, November s.—When the war 1h over what is to b* known as tho selectve system will be employed in bringing United States troops home from France. Generally speaking, the troop* that ‘went over first will be the first to be brought back, but on account of the industrial necessities, it is preposed to muster out first men whose services are moat needed in important lines of industry. For instance, if the Immediate demand should seem to be for farmers, or certain kind of mechanics, or for coal miners, or for railroad men, the men skilled in those lines would be mustered out in advance of aoldiers who wer* not specially fitted for any particular work. With the expectation that tihn end of the war can not be far off* the authorities are giving consideration to this so-called selecttv* plait for ireturnlng men to civil llfo.
