Acclaim of Field Marshal

cord Peerage Elevation and

By the Associated Press

seaport Of Dover flung It's gates wide
open today to greet Field Marshal Haig

armies that fought in Belgium and
France-Generals Plumer. Rawlinson.
Brdwood, Byng and Horne.
1t was merely an Informal welcome by
London. but Dover made of 1t great
celebr alton. The news became PUBIC
that the Field Marshal was coming home
to spend Christmas with his family at
Kingston and his fellow countrymen
would not be denied chance to see
and cheer the leader of their armies.
The real celebration in London comes
later--late in January or early In Fen-
ruary, The field marshal then, accord
ing to time -honored precedents, will be
raised to a hig1r rank in the peerage---
how high is a point of speculation--and
will receive a money grant from Parlia-
ment for his services to the nation. This
is the procedure that has been followed
from the days Of Wellington and Nelson
down TO Kitchener and Roberts, and the
occasion will be celebrated with civic
and military formalities such as no
other nation. except perhaps France.
could carry out as lmpresSlFely as orea'
Britain.
The welcome given to the home-com-
ing generals today was similar to That
given to Marshal F'och and Premier
Clemenceau Of France and Premier Or
lando of italy. a little more than week
ago. but there was less display. Premier

lesser functionaries from the War Office.
made up the receiving party at Charing
Cross station. After first greetings tne
civilian oficiPls disappeared from the
scene and the small procession proceeded
through the principal streets to Buck
ingham Place, where the King enter
tained Field Marshal Haig at luncheon.
4 small escort of the Life Guard, in
steel cuii asses, preceded the carriages
in which tho army commanders rode.

lowed his train to London.

This afternoon the President received
Marshal FoCh. who gave him a first

between the Allies and Germany. and
explained in detail the various points
of the newly renewed armstice.
1t is a striking commentary on the
Presidents popularity that owing to an
erroneous announcement In yesterday
mornings papers that dinner would be
held there last night. a huge crowd
gathered in the neighborhood of the
Ambassadors house and utterly declined
to believe the buffers assurance that
they were 4 day ahead of the program.
When the ambassador returned home
about $50 o'clock, he was greeted with
shouts Of "Vive Sharpe - "Vive rAmer-

he had explained personally to the crowd
the majority of whom insisted on
shaking hands with him--that the din
ner really would be tonight, that they
would agree to go away.
Some three hours later a second
crowd assembled, thinking to witness the
Presidents departure, and again the am
bassador was compelled to inform them
in person of their mistake.

Steps aiken to Avert
Ice Famine i'm Summer
Dealers Agree. to Harvest
Needed Supply From the
Hudson River

New York will not suffer from an ice
famine next summer.
This was announced by the Federal
Food Board Yesterday after dealers in
natural ice had signed an agreement to
harvest enough ice from the Hudson
River SO that the city will have 4,OO0,-
coo tons to meet its usual requirements.
Assurances were given that the price to
the consumer next summer will be
about so cents hundred pounds, or
the same as last year.
1t was feared that if the government
sound it necessary to cut off the supply
of ammonia, which is used in making
artificial ice, much suffering would re.
suit from u shortage of ice This
prompted the food board to call to-
gether majority Of the artificial and
natural ice dealers. They were told BY
Cyrus c. Miller, Of the food board, that
public interest demanded that some.
thing be done before the winter was
over to provide for next summers ice.
The dealers In natural ice explained q
that they already had 100000 tons in
storage, and would not go to the cx.
pense OF harvesting any more unless
arrangements were made for their SELL
ing 1T IN competition with the artificial
ice A contract was then made where
by artificial dealers agree to buy the
natural ice at So a ton
Mr.. Miller explained that the arrange.
ment, will effect a saving of 10000
pounds OF ammonia, and that New York
ers, who usually consume only artificial
ice, will be served largely with ice frora

Food for Allies Sent
Here in Record Time
But Ship to Take 1t Abroad Is
Held Fast in Ice of
Erie Basin

Forty carloads of -four, consigned to
the Allies and representing the first
trainload OF foodstuffs to be brought
through under Secretary McAdoo's new
rail-to-hold order, were lying last night
on the Lehigh Valleys deep water pier
at Constable Hook, \. J.
The train had been rushed through
from Buffalo in record breaking time,
but when it reached tidewater the
steamship into whose hold the -four
was to have been dumped was still
miles away. Three tugs labored all
day in vain effort to free her from
the ice which overnight had sewed up
Erie Basin.
Beset by the same weather condi-
tions which locked the ocean carrier,
the Lehigh Valley had mannuvred
through the train from Buffalo in forty
hours. In ordinary winter weather the
freight running time between the two
points is about sixty hours, but under
recent conditions the average train has
spent four days on the way.
What time was lost in fighting
through snowdrifts, piled in its path
by strong northwest gale, the train
had made up in other ways. Not once
was it ''yarded," and only five stops
were madc-these. at Manchester
Sayrc, Coxton, Mauch Chunk and
Easton yards. for the purpose of
changing engines. The train left Buff
falo on Sunday and reached Constable
Hook at o'clock yesterday morning.

Class | to Complete
First Draft Here
State Bureau Sends New
Order to Local
Boards

When New York starts, on February
%, to furnish her last contribution to
the National Army raised by the first
draft the men will be selected from
Glass l. This was announced yesterday
in communication to local draft
boards from Major +. S. Hutchinson,
head Of the Federal Draft Bureau OF
this state.
Originally the men who were to fill
this deferred quota, which amounts to
about 10 per cent of the city's total
quota in the first draft, were selected
under the old regulations, before the
classification system was adopted. In
fact. the men chosen had already re-
ceived cards from their local boards
notifying them TO hold themselves in
readiness for cali to the colors.
However. the Interpretation handed
down by Major Hutchinson provides
that in all districts where Glass l is
large enough the men should be Sc
lccted to fill the final increment of the
first draft under the new methods Of
induction. If Class / is insufficient to
meet the call in any particular dis
trict. as is unlikely, it is said the men
will be called according to the old sys-
TEN. After this deferred quota is sent
to camp there will be no exceptions to
the application OF the new regulations.
In an attempt to be fully prepared
to satisfy any demands the War De-
partment may make for men for the
second draft, Martin Conboy, director
of the draft, yesterday began a cam
paign to get in touch with every regis
trant who for any reason has failed to
answer his questionnaire and return
it to his local board. Tardy registrants
arc advised by the draft official imme-
diately to communicate with the local
board in which they registered. and
are warned that failure to do so may
result in the loss Of their right tc
have an exemption claim heard and il
their immediate call TO the army.
