'• UNER ENTERS QUARANTINE |5 j|((le«mer Reached Its Pier Monday-- Lateness of the Ship's Arrival f. \ V •" ? • Spoiled Great Reception Pla«r ned by Relatives of Boys. ifMi New York. Dec. S.--The British Steamship Mauretania, which Is return- fife to the United States the first large body of American overseas troops was reported by wireless through the naval communication service. The ship reached quarantine at T m. Sunday and docked Monday.'^ The bulk of the returning soldiers .are men from the airplane training camps in England, but there are also several men from the American con­ struction and radio units and about 800 civilian passengers aboard. The lateness of the Mauretanla's arrival spoiled a great reception that had been arranged for the returning troops. Seldom has the harbor on such a brisk day been so alive with craft, for motorboats, tugs and harbor fnd fishing boats were out in great numbers, filled with those anxiously Waiting • to greet the first American Jeoops to return as a result of the col- lapse of Germany. The larger craft went out of the harbor and drifted about Ambrose Channel lightship, in order to be the first to signal their greetings, while ott shore many watched from wind­ swept vantage points to have a first glimpse of the Mauretania heading UD through the Narrows. The Mauretania left Liverpool Mon­ day, November 25, . . • Three other transports will arrive, early in the week. They are the Lap­ land, the Minnekahda and the Orca, all from Liverpool. With the Maure­ tania contingent they will bring the number of returning forces up to 10,- 905. This is about half the number that were training in England when the armistice was signed. Hundreds of requests for passes to the pier where the Mauretania docked Were received fronl relatives. These were not granted, however, as It was decided for the safety of the public Che men be sent immediately to Camp Mills and other camps about New York, to wait there until such quar­ antine regulations as are deemed ad­ visable are carried out. ' This, however, did not prevent hun­ dreds of relatives from coming to New York to shout a welcome to their boys and wait until they are mus­ tered out of the national service aft- sr passing a final physical examina­ tion. -,-^v .

Washington, Dec. 2.--The Forty- second division (the Rainbow) of the American expeditionary forces in France has been cited by Maj. Gen. Charles P. Snmmerall, commanding the Fifth army corps, for the service rendered and the bravery displayed by Its personnel. The general order, Is­ sued by General Summerall at the headquarters of the corps in France, has reached here. Expressing, appreciation to the For- ty-second division upon the termina­ tion of its services with the Fifth army corps, General Summerall particularly commends the Eighty-fourth infantry brigade and Sixty-seventh field artil­ lery brigade units of the division. The Eighty-fourth brigade Is undier the command of Brig.* Gen. Douglas McArthur, who on numerous occasions has been cited for bravery and dash on the western front. General McAr­ thur has been presented with the French Croix de Guerre, and on his American service cross wears two palm leaves. 'This brigade," reads the general order, "has manifested the highest sol­ dierly qualities and has rendered serv­ ice of the greatest value during the present operations. With a dash, courage and fighting worthy of the best traditions of the American army, the brigade carried by assault the strongly fortified Hill 288 on the Krelmhlld Stellung line and un­ ceasingly pressed Its advantage until It had captured the Tullerle farm and the Bols de Catlllon, thus placing it­ self at least a kilometer beyond the enemy's strong line of resistance. During this advance the enemy fought with unusual determination, with a first-class division, and In many cases resorted to hand-to-hflnd fighting when our troops approached his rear. The conduct of this bri­ gade has reflected honor upon the division, the army and the states from which the regiments came." Of the Seventy-seventh brigade the general order says: This brigade has remained con­ tinuously In action since the entrance of the division' into line and by self- sacrificing devotioii to duty and high skill of Its officers and men it has contributed (greatly to the success of all operations."

Enemy Will Have to Settle 4o Limit of £-V^Hnr Gampacity for Devaata- ? • tion of War. London, Dec. 2.--Germany must pay a war Indemnity up to her capac­ ity, Premier Lloyd George announced in an address at Newcastle-on-Tyne. At the same time Mr. Lloyd George de­ clared there would be a "sternly Just peace." As to Indemnities, the prime minis­ ter said: "The principle always has been that the loser must pay. That Is the principle we should now proceed upon regarding Germany. She mast pay the cost up to her capacity.") The premier Indicated that he favors punishment for the kaiser when he said: . 4 ' "We should so act now that men In the future, when they are tempted to follow the example of the German rul­ ers, would know what Is awaiting them In the end." When the premier referred to the "responsibility for the war," he was interrupted by cries of, "The kaiser, the kaiser," and when he referred to the violations of international law there were shouts of, "Hang the kai­ ser ! Shoot him!" followed by cheers. Mr. Lloyd George continued: "Is no­ body to be punished for the crimes of the war? I-mean to see that the men who mistreated our prisoners shall be made responsible. But I do not want when the war Is over to pursue any policy of vengeance." , The premier declared that the Ger­ man submarine pirates must receive punishment for their crimes, adding: * "As to the culpability of the authors •of the war, we. mean to make an In­ vestigation, and It will be conducted in a manner perfectly fair, but stern. It will go to the final reckoning, too. "Whoever devastated the lands of another ought to be responsible. If none is made responsible for the war which has taken the lives of millions, there is one justice for the poor and wretched criminal and another for kings and emperors." "In every court of Justice In the world," Mr. Lloyd George went on, "the party that has lost bears the cost of the litigation. This Is equally true between nations.. Even Germany, when she defeated France, established that principle. There is no doubt that the principle Is a right one. Proceed­ ing upon this principle Germany mast pay the cost of the war to the limit of her capacity, and I must now utter warning that we have to consider the question of her capacity."

The total es­ timates, for the fiscal year of 1919, in­ cluding supplements, was $29,879,- 821,048.74. These figures were seat to congress by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. They were made public almost before the session of congress began instead of 24 hours ahead of time, as Uas been the case in the past. The'totals are divided among the various branches of government as follows: Legislative establishment, $8,099,- 901.75; executive establishment, $106,- 818,425.06; judicial establishment, $1,- 410,490; department of agriculture, $50,048,786; foreign intercourse, $11,- 042,236.66; military establishment, $1,922,938,434.86; naval establishment, $2,595,784,546.05; Indian affairs, $llf- 239,613; pensions, $220,950,650; Panama canal, $12,216,114; public works, $676,812,702.96; postal service, $358,307,377; miscellaneous, $276,761,- 510.03; permanent annual appropria­ tions, $1,266,745,759. The total of more than seven bil­ lions Is exclusive of the sinking fund requirements and postal service rev­ enues. The big comparisons are of course in the military and navy establish­ ments. The naval establishment shows a big Increase because of the fact that it now is going khead with its original capital ship program deferred because of the war. The total appropriations in the naval establishment for 1919 were $1,591,168,895.84. , The army total appropriation for 1919 was $12,274,246,919.78. The prun­ ing here was made >.posslble- through the cancellation of all munition con­ tracts, contracts for guns and equip­ ment. These estimates, although charac­ terized as for 1920, are for the fiscal year 1919-20, commencing on July 1 next. A good part of the army costs goes to actual maintenance. For Instance there Is appropriated In the bill for the use of the quartermaster's corps $911,789,549. For pay and general ex­ penses the army will require $327,398,- #68.08. That the air service is to be- con­ tinued by the army is indicated by the appropriations there, although for the coming year a total is asked for air service military requirements of $19,- 033,738.47, as compared with $184,301,- 758 for the current year. For air serv­ ice production a total Is asked this year of $144,943,514.71, as compared with $760,000,000 in the current appro­ priation. For the pay of the navy a total is asked for the coming year of $579,946,- 971, as compared with $227,372,946 in the current bill. For naval' aviation the department wants to spend next year $225,000,000, as compared with $220,383,110 in the current bill. The big expense of the navy is of <»urse its expansion along the lines of capital ships. The estimates asked this year which were heretofore author­ ized total $233,965,000. In the current bill this item totaled $59,397,000. For fhe new three-year program a total of $200,000,000 Is asked. This Item id absent from the current measure. There are few general : wage ad­ vances and these are for thg most part in the minor positions. There Is absent from the bill this year any great river and harbor esti­ mates. All such work now Is under the .direct supervision of the army en­ gineers who are simply continuing the work already started, but are not han­ dling any new propositions.
