CAMP UITON. March :c The
27th Division, United .States Army.'
Is in camp here thin afternoon fur
the last formalities of dcmolilllzatlnu. j
T. M. C. A. girls handed cigarettes i
and candy am! chewing gum to uch
ttoldlcr us the trains arrived fifim
New York, and even Uwugli his
pockcta wore already stuffed with
such things lie accepted more. j
Tho men camo on n number of spe
cial trains, tho llrst of which arrived I
at 9 A. M., but there wcro-nlso some
hundreds of stragglers who. after
drawing word pictures of battle all
night Ions for tholr enraptured wives,
mothers, sweethearts, sisters, fathers
und brothers, or Just plain friends,
did not feel llko getting up early for
the troop trains. Thu Long Island
Railroad put special earn on regular
trains for these stragglers.
The spclal train arrived at short
Intervals nurlng the day, and it was
late In tho afternoon before, thu last
of the New York men reached the
barracks in which they will pass tho
final period of their army life.
All New York men In the division
came to Camp Upton. Tho re
mainder, consisting of huycrul thou
sand replacement men from tnnny
.Stat ob, were sent In casual companies
to Camp Mills, whence they will bo
forwarded to camps near their homes
to bo mustered out.
The soldiers who wero sent to Up
ton wilt bo out of tho army mid freo
to put on their civil life clothes next
week. The musterlnf? out process In
itself Is simple, a strict going over of
caoh man physically to establish A
basis for any futuro claim ho may
mako against tho Government for
compensation for Injuries; a checking
over of his service record and the ad
justment of his final pay, to which Is
added tho $60 Gratuity, and tho sign
ing of his honorablo discharge.
However, when this sltnplo process
Is multiplied 27,000 times It is a heavy
Job, no matter how swiftly tho de
mobilizing foreo works. Olllcers have
n. few moro complications In gottins
out becauso they must obtain tho
sUmatur3 of about fifteen property
officers of various branches of tho
bcrvlco that they havo closed satis
factorlly their accounts for money or
properly for which they huvo boon
accountable.
Actual mustering out begins Mon
day, nnd tho last man la expected to
be on his way homo by Friday night.
One of the features of tho demobiliza
tion will bo tho naturalization next
Friday of alt men in tho division de
siring citizenship papers. Justiio
ilorscbauscr will preside.
Arrangements have been made at
Upton to (111 in as much of tho wait
ing tlmo us possible by special per
formances at thu camp theatres, lec

government Insurance In foico and
on various business opportunities

SURVIVORS BADLY HURT.
Little Girl Leaps into Over

Mrs. Louisa Mcrclr of Graclo Ave
nue, Richmond Hill Circle, was
buried to death early this morning
when she tried to save, her three chil
dren from fire. Two of the children,
I-conla, six years old, nnd Helen,
three, also dlud In thn flames. Tho
third child, Emily, eight, was lescucd,
but 9d badly Injured that she may
die. Tho father, dcorfio, a signal man
for tho Long Inland Railroad, was
also badly Injured.
At 2 o'clock this morning Mercler
canto homo, from his work nnd banked
tho II ro in the kitchen stove. His
wife and the children wero asleep on
tho second lloor of the frame house.
At C o'clock tho lira started and
spread so rapidly that cseapo by tho
stairway was cut off. Mrs. Mercler
was llrst to bo awakened. She had
been lit a back room, over thn kitchen,
sleeping with her youngest child,
Helen. Lconla was alone In tho
middle room, nnd thu father and
Emily wero In tho front room.
Mrs. Mercler bur-t Into her hus
band's room crying, "Quick, George,
the house Is burning!"
A glanco showed that the only way
of escape was by the window.
"I'll jump," said tho father. "Then
you drop the children to me nnd I'll
catch them. Then yo will have to
Jump."
MptcIc. clad only in pujamns,
dropped to the ground safely, and
hlr cat to thu window with
Kmlly. At that moment a man who
lived near by ran up to the house. He
took off his overcoat and he and Mer
cler held it as a net. They caught
Kmlly, whose faco and hands wero
badly burned. It Is feared, too, that
ho may havo Inhaled Maine, In which
case slio probably will die.
Mrs. Mercler went back to get the
other children, but she did not re
app(ur at the window. Mercler nnd
thti volunteer assistant waited per
haps a minute. Then they looked
for a ladder, but thcro was none.
They tore up a section of u. picket
fenco Jnd by great effort raised it
against the house, Mercler climbed
to tho window nnd had got his head
and shoulders through when a burst
of flame, perhaps a back draft ex
plosion, threw him out. Ho was bad
ly burned and his anklo was broken
uh he struck tho ground. Ho tried to
mount again, but was forcibly pro
vented. lly this tlmo a crowd of nolghbors
had gathered und formed a bucket
brigade from a creek that runs bo
hind tho house. It wus useless,
names wero leaping from every
window and from the roof. Thrco
telephonu calls had been sent for
rthe nearest llru company at .South
Ozono I'arK, nut tnero had been no
response. Finally some ono with an
automobile went and roused the tire
men. It was after fi o'clock before
thu apparatus came. Chumlcals were
used, but It was too late. The house
cullapsud. Inking with It the bodies
of Mrs. Mercler und tho two children.
Tho bodies havo not been rrr'nvercil.
The futhur ami the rescued ehil I
.were taken to St. Mary's Hospital,
Jamaica.
The Mercler wero married twelva
years ago and formerly lived in
Itldgewood. They bought tho home
in Richmond Hill Cliele last July,
paying all tho money they had, und
having nothing left for Insurance.
Tho only property Mercler has loft

AFTER FAILING 10
STEAL PART OF U. S.
Sails With Family, His Little
Daughter Wearing American
Navy' Hatband.
A llttlo old man In gray clothes a
sallow-faced and wlckcd-cyed llttlo
old man went down 23d Street to tho
ferry this afternoon, cro.isod to Ho
boken and boarded a ship.
Detectives watched him carefully,
because ho used to bo a member of a
bandit organization that planned to
steal all thn real estate of Texas, Now
Mexico and Arizona.
His name Is IJclnrlch von Kck
hurdt, formerly Imperial German Am
bassador to the Republic of Mexico,
A casual Inspection of his baggage,
which filled three automobiles, IndU
catcd that ho was not taking with
him the thrco Southwestern BUtei
that the gang back home had dskjd
him to grab. There was, pernaps- a
bit of Texas dust on somo of tho
bugs, but (not enough to mako that
State feel that It had lost heavily.
Eckhardt sailed on tho Nleuw Am
ftcrdam this afternoon for Rotter
dam. It is understood he will live for
a time In Holland, whers several other
members of tho old gang are staying
for tho sake of their health. With
Eckhardt went his wife, Urna, the
three Utile Uckhardts, and Johannes
Ilrulow, the ex-Imperlal German Con
sul General.
They rodo In two automobiles, ac
companied by several agents of the
Department of Justice, who prevent
ed them from gossiping with uny
body along tho line.
From tho forry Blip on the other
side they drovo to IMer 7, which not
so many months ago was tho em
barkation point for many thousands
of American soldiers who served In
tho "posse" that ran down the ban
dits In Kurope.
On tho way to Hobokcn tho jnarty
passed and looked gloomily at a num
ber of ono-tlme German liners which
wero now standing docile In Uncle
Sam's leash. Uckhardt nald some
thing In German when he saw these
ships, and his words were duly noted
by the Department of Justice ugents(
who, nowever, wouiuni ten reporters
what they were.
United Stales soldiers with an
Ironic glint In their eyes received the
party at tho pier, but there was no
conversation nor any need of :t-
Rut thcro was ono thing thut made
everybody laugh. She was tho
smallest Eckhardt, aged alwut eight
yours, In the opinion of Tho Evening
World reporter although tho Depart
ment of Justice refused to verify or
even to comment upon this estimate.
Anyway, she was a very little person
nnd she wore u blue sailor hat with a
lettered ribbon on It, und this Is what
the letteis said: "I'nlted States
Navy." Shu also woru a button with
an American flag on It and her papa
didn't even spank her.
Thu party boarded thu ship by the
lower gangplank Instead of thn one
usually used by first-class passengers.
It wn-i whispered that they would bo
kept below decks until thu ship had
passed out to sea, after which they
will have tho freedom of tho boat.
When It was all over rcparters
sought tho Deiartmenl of Justice
agents again.
Where did thn Eckhardt party stay
in New York?" waa the llrst qutwtlon.
"At a hotel," wus the nervous an
swer. "What hotel?"
Hut this bold demand so flustered'
the agents th.it they terminated tho I
interview at onc. perhaps history I
will tell, but thu Department of Jus. I
tlcuY .Never.
It Is only known that Eckhardt.
having failed with the rest of the
gang In the moat ambitious of their
crooked enterprises, Is going away
from here.

Karl's Adviser Says New Dic
tatorship Is of Despair,
Not Proletariat.
icopwrit, lutti, bj tm imtj
IIERNE, March 2. Tho Allies
must act immediately If tho west
ward flood of Bolshevism Is to bn
dammed, Prince Wlndlsch-druetz,
Hungarian statesman and chief ad
viser of Emperor Karl during thu lint
yo of tho dual monarchy, told tho
United Press to. day,
Tho Prince declared that Houmanla
and Eastern flullclu uro still forming
a barrier ngnlnst thu dclugu.of radi
calism, but that this must bo
strengthened or It can not hold.
"What Is happening n Hungary
has been foretold by every Hungar
ian politician during thn last six
months," said Wlndlsch-nraetz.
"Unfortunately tho Entente states
men did not bellnvo us. Most of them
thought tho talk of tho danger of
Bolshevism was Just somo new In
strument of Herman propaganda.
"Tho Communist organization In
Hungnry to-day Is far from being
complete. Roumanln and Eastern
Rallcla aro still forming n dam be
tween tho Bolshevist flood and west
ern Europe, if anything is doing It
should be done at once. Bolshevism,
like tlmo nnd tide, waits fir no uiun.
"Neither the peasants nor the
workers of Hunnary oro really
Communistic. A small aroup
within the Sooialists has over
whelmed the party. The new
dictatorship Isn't a dictatorship
of the proletariat, but a dicta
torship of despair.
"Just as the middle classes Joined
Kurolyl, thinking ho could savo Hun
nary from Czecho-Slovak, Itou-
manlan and Serbian imperialism, the
same middle rlusseg to-day urn em
bracing Bolshevism and turning
from Paris to Moscow."
