the great army In France. expressing

U. S. Bond Buying Upheld
Surrogate Overrules Objection
by Edward London's Guardian

Surrogate John P. Cohalan yesterday
dismissed the objection made by the
guardian for Edward Whitney London
against the investment by trustees Of
the estate of PhAip London, father of
the boy, of funds of a trust in Liberty
bonds OF the first issue.
Mr. London provided that out of the
income from his large residuary estate
Sz,ooo was to be spent for the educa-
tlon and maintenance of his son until
ne Is twenty-one. From that period
until the son reaches thirty five he was
to have the entire income, and at
thirty five the principal of the trust
was to be his.
Mr. London stipulated that the trust
funds should be invested in railroad
bonds paying a dividend OF not less
than per cent a year. Part of this
trust fund was invested by the trustees
In Liberty bonds, to which the bows
guardian made objection
Surrogate Cohalan said in his deci-
sion! sustaining the trustees in invest
ing in the 3le per cent Liberty bonds:
The investment by the trustees in
these Liberty Loan bonds was in aid
OF our government in its hour of need.
and they should be commended rather
than condemned therefor The testator
could not have foreseen these condi-
tions when he made his will and in
serted his prohibition therein as to the
investment of the funds of the estate,
and feel that were he alive he would
have invested in these bonds. I will
therefore hold that the said investment
by the trustees in the first Liberty
Loan bonds was justified and will over
rule the objection of the special guar
dian in relation thereto"

Exclusion of Babies
Legal, Says Lawyer

The landlord who refuses to admit
families with babies into his apartment
house may be on the wrong track NOR
ally, but the law is all son his side, ac-
cording to Alfred Reeves, real estate
lawyer, of the firm Of Reeves & Todd,
1876 Broadway. He said that however
regretable the attitude of "anti- baby"
landlords may be, their restriction ex-
cluding babies from their buildings is
entirely within the law.
"In the United States a man who
owns real property may use that prop
erty as he sees fit," said Mr. Reeves
"In the case of public utilities, such as
railways and restaurants, he is COM
PEELED to serve the public without dis
elimination, unless he can show cause
for refusing to serve any person. But
a real estate owner can close his doors
on any one he likes.
"If he does not like the color of my
wfe's eyes he may refuse TO rent an
apartment to me on just the same legal
grounds as he bases his prohibition Of
children"
Mr.. Reeves held out very little hope
for those who are agitating for legisla-
tion compelling landlords to lift the
ban on children.
"I doubt if any such law could be
drafted to stand the test Of constitu-
tionality," he said. "Perhaps, if the
matter were very carefully handled,
the Legislature might be able to pass
sound law covering the situation"

The. final sports event was a great
sham battle, staged by 1000 men, unde r
the direction Of Inspector Dwyer. The
battle included an attack on an in
trenched position, which was defended
by machine gun squad, field artillery
and infantry. The attacking infantry
was accompanied by a squadron of
mounted reserves Stimulating a cavalry
charge. The Medical Unit and Am
bulance Corps of the Police Reserves
played their part in the sham battle,
gathering up the sham wounded when
it was over.
Officials in charge of the days event

"Pershing's Fighters" Are
Cheered by Record Crowd
at Sheepshead Bay
Sixty Airplanes Pass
In Battle Formation
De Palma Breaks Own
World Record, Doing Ten
Miles in 5:O7 rs

Crowds and crowds have turned out
to witness spectacles in the history
of New York. but never has such one
attended an athletic event as gathered
Yesterday at Sheepshead Bay for the
big police field day, staged by the de-
partment for $5O0,0O0 benefit fund to
equip the new police reserves.
One hundred and fifty thousand per
sons, lured by the hundreds of sched
uled events and by the cause for which
the affair was being given, poured out
to Speedway Park. They came until
the grandstand was crowded, even to
the top rafters, where men hung like
flies; until the field stand was full and
the infield dense mass of humanity.
"The biggest crowd ever gathered
together anywhere in an inclosure for
q single event." Governor Whitman an
nounced from his box in the grand
stand. And official tallies bore out the
Governors statement.
The hundreds Of thousands Of spec
tators were treated to sight perhaps
uneuualled in the history of sportsdom
anywhere. Sixty airplanes Of various
makes swooped about Overhead in u
dizzying variety of maneuvres, while
on the racetrack Ralph de Palma was
speeding along at pace which broke
his own worlds record, made a week
ago. Three hundred men who partici-
pated in the battle Of -Thierry,
paraded before crowd, whose shouts
and applause were the first foretaste
Of the "when the boys come home"
time. And there were so many other
events sandwiched in that the spectacle
had the combined aspect Of a three
ring circus, q world series game and
a Hippodrome show.
Pershings Veterans Cheered
Pershing's veterans were the first
huskiness in the shouts as they
marched with two American flags at
the head Of their column, before the
reviewing stand-every man with q
gold service chevron on his arm and
most of them with the blue chevron,
indicating that he had been "gassed. %
With them and with Miss Dorothy Fol-
ls,of the Chicago Opera Company, the
crowd sang the "Star Spangled Banne r"
IN burst Of enthusiasm.
AS early as, 2:3o there began to ap-
pear in the sky traces of the airplane
squadron that was to come. Two hours
later it advanced in majestic battle
front formation. Headed by biplane
which dived and turned and spiralled
and finally dashed into the crowd as if
the driver had lost control of his ma
chine, only to rise again just as the
spectators were catching their breath
