KEYSTONEU UNITS .
TO STAY ABROAD
TO LAST MINUTE
Many Philadelphians Will Not
Come Home Until After
Peace Is Signed

Philadelphia and other Pennsylvania
soldiers now overseas may be among
the last to come home from France.
This impression is given by a state
ment of Secretary of War Baker. 1t is
his opinion that the veteran divisions
will remain overseas until after peace
has been formally declared. These tried
fighters. who have proved they are more
than match for the enemy, will be kept
in France and Germany 20 meet any
eventuality that may come.
The famous Iron Division and the
Rainbow Division are among the vete-
rams. The Seventy-ninth Division also
has seen considerable action. and may be
considered n tried unit. They undoubt-
edly will form part of the army of'oc-
cupstion of 1,250,000.
The K. l. L, NJ Companies of the
old Fourth Regiment, N. G. p, are the
Pennsylvania units in the Rainbow Di-
vision. The Iron Division Is composed
entirely of National Guard regiments
from this State. Another veteran or
ganiZation in France is the Nineteenth
Railway Engineers, the first unit to go
abroad from this State.
The Seventy-ninth Division is made up
of drafted men from this State, Mary
land and the District of Columbia.

INDEPENDENTS DEFY
VARE-SMITH FORCES
Declare No Financial Meas.
ures Shall Pass Councils
Without Sharp Scrutiny

Many changes In councilu~nic pro-
Cedure relative TO financial measures
are forecast today through recent lnde-
pendent-Penrose victories. Repeatedly
the minority held up and defeated Ad-
ministration measures requiring two
thirds vote.
With the Nare-Smith forces unable to
pass legislation requiring more than a
bare majority vote the Independent lead
ers in both branches have adopted block
ing tactics that are likely to result In
much discontinue to the Adminisira-
ton during the last year of the Smith
regime. The first evidence of this has
occasioned delay and revision OF the ap-
preparation bill for the Sheriff's office.
Charles H. Won Tagen, Common Coun-
Gilman from the Forty-secOnd Ward, has
served notice on the Ware leaders that
no deals" will be entered into to ap-
prove legislation for both factions, and
that in the future the thirty-two mem
bers of the lower branch not controlled
by the Vare-Smith faction will oppose
any financial measure that is not In the
interest of good government.
Ono custom that the administration
will be forced to abandon Is that of in
cluding extra clerk hire bills and claims
for work already done, in straight
transfer measures. in the hopes that they
will pass unnoticed. From now on IN
dependent members will closely scruti-
nize every financial measure and all that
carry such items will be defeated.
Seldom in years past has minority
taken such an active part in blocking
what was considered vicious legislation
as was the case yesterday, and num-
her of finance bills awaiting passage are
likely to meet delay or be sent to the
scrap heap for revision before the year
ends.
City Solicitor Connolly is drafting a
bill making effective the constitutional
amendment fixing the city's borrowing
capacity and permitting the city to bor-
row per cent for general municipal
purposes as we'll as for port and transit

rowing capacity of 10 per cent for all
purposes, the former limit being per

nut Hill. in n letter written the day
after the surrender.
He was aboard one of the American
warships that attended the surrender
and the most impressive thing about
the whole affair, he writes, was the
thought of the German sailors. trained
to fight and risk their lives. sailing out
to give their floating fortresses without
firing shot to the very fnen they had
been trained to hate and fight.
The worst of the war Is yet to come
he writes as the English are planning a
series Of parades and celebrations. in
which the American tackles will play a
prominent part.
"It's easier to get used to submarines

TO HOUSE RARE WORKS

Plans are being considered to create
an art corporation In Philadelphia for
the purpose of ultimately making the
city one Of the leading art centers Of the
world.
It is the purpose Of the art corpora
ton to take care of the clty's rare
artistic works and conduct along the
: same policy as that of the Metropolitan
Museum in New York.
Plans for the proposed institution
were announced by Joseph e. Widener,
president of the Art Jury. The neces-
sity of such a place was brought to his
attention following the recent contro-
versy over the portraits In independence
Hall. All the portraits in the Inde-
spendence Hall collection will be stored in
Congress Hall.
my entire work in the interest of
the citys art" said Mr.. Widener, has
been without hope of compensation. 1t
has ever been tending toward the estab-
lishment of body Of men free of politi-
cal control to care for our treasures
Mr.. widener said that plans had been
completed for an art temple on the
Parkway for the John G. johnson col
lection.
"As regards the johnson collection" :"
he said, ''my plan is to house II in what
will be the best kind of a permanent
memorial to John G. johnson. I have
had plans drawn for beautiful little
temple of art to be erected on the Park
way to house this collection exclusively.
Originally, plans were drawn for
hreproof1ng as far as possible the John
son home In South Broad street That
work would cost 100000. Even when
complete, and with a wing added to the
present building, there would not be
room enough to present the collection
properly.
my idea is to ask the courts whether
we cannot take advantage Of that
paragraph of Mr.. Johnson's will in which
he says that the paintings may be re-
moved elsewhere If it becomes injudicious
to keep them there"
