Replica of American Sector
in France To Be
Constructed
Opposition Is
Not Expected
Artists Give Up When Ad-
vised Contest Would Meet

The work of constructing in the
North Meadows of Central Park a
replica of a section Of the trenches in
which our soldiers are now fighting in
France, as part of the campaign for the
third Liberty Loan, will start to-mo~-
row. Any threatened legal opposition
on the part of the various art societies
which opposed the plan when it was
first suggested is not expected to ma
terialize.
Assurances have been given by the
Liberty Loan Committee that the
Meadows Will be restored to their pres
ent condition as soon as the Liberty
Loan drive is over At the same tirae
the committee announced that the same
idea would be employed in other cities
as an aid to arousing interest in the
loan.
The trenches will be constructed un-
der the direction of Thomas C. Des-
mond, the engineer who organized a
company of engineers to accompany
Colonel Roosevelt to France had the
War Department given permission to
the Colonel to lead a division there.
He will have the assistance of the Mar

French Commission, who spent two
years in the trenches of France. and

tary of the American Scenic and Histor-
tic Preservation Society, and Albert 6,

Society. who appeared before the
Board Of Estimate on Friday in oppo-
sition to the plan OF constructing the
trenches in the park. will not ma
terialize because lawyers advise they
could not succeed. While both Mr.
Hall and Mr.. Bard are agreed that it
is useless for them to offer any fur

Liberty Loan Committee, they were
not so willing yesterday to drop their

Thrift Pamphlets
Mineola Planes Land in
Central Park to Aid

Circle Over Wall Street
w. S. S. Bombs Dropped on
Financial Section to
Boom Campaign

Just about the time the cables
brought word of the bombardment of
Paris, friendly airmen appeared over
New York City yesterday afternoon
and bombed the metropolis with fold
ers and pamphlets calculated to boom
the sale Of war savings stamps.
Two airplanes, of new Curtiss type,
took part in the raid Their coming
did not take the city by surprise. 1t
had been arranged by the Mayors
Committee Of Women on National De
fence and had been we'll advertised.
Circle Over Wall Street
The planes came here from the
training station at Mlneola. One ma
chine was driven by Lieutenant Roy z.
Ludick. Behind him in the observers
seat rode Sergeant Oliver Young. The
other plane was driven by Pilot Henry
S. Smith. He was accompanied by NJ.
II. Goodenough, inspector of engines at
the Mneola station.
Both planes reached the city at about
2 o'clock. They circled over the fnan-
cial section in Wall Street and dropped
w. S. S. bombs into the narrow streets.
Then they flew back toward Governors
Island and crcled around the buildings
there. Lieutenant Ludick led the way
back toward the city. Pilot Smith
headed for Central Park and his flying
mate delayed long enough to circle
around the tower Of the Woolworth
Building.
Both aviators landed in the sheen
pasture at the park. Here a delesa-
tion of women from the Mayors com
mittee were on hand to greet them.
Postmaster Patten was on the scene.

which he distributed to the women

Daylight Plan May Not
Affect Easter Services
Churches Urged to Open at
Same Hour by Sun
Time

Or. Walter Laidlaw, executive sec
retary Of the New York Federation of
Churches, yesterday sent out letters
to the four hundred churches of the
organization suggesting that Easter
morning services be held an hour later
than usual, under the daylight saving
plan, which goes into effect at o'clock
next Sunday morning.
II Dr. Laidlaw's suggestion is
adopted, the churches of New York
City VIII hold morning Easter services
at the same hour by sun time as they
have IN the past, although by the new
othclal time the services will be an
hour behind schedule. Dr. LaidIaw said
he was moved TO offer his suggestion
ny the fact that thousands of persons
who VIII so to sleep Saturday night
under the old standard time would lose
an hours sleep if they had to get 10
morning service an hour earlier than
usual. Another reason, he said, was
tnat many persons would not get their
clocks and watches set according to the
new standard time till some time
Sunday
Il believe it would, therefore, be best
TO announce all services up to noon Of
Easter Sunday an hour later than usual
and all afternoon and evening services
at the usual hour, but under the new
time schedule" said Dr. Laidlaw.
My suggestion is q practical COM
promise. II services ordinarily held at
o'clock a. m. be held at o'clock Eas-
ter morninr and services ordinarily
held at II o'clock be held at ~ o'clock
noon no actual time would be lost, and
the adjustment to the daylight saving
law could be made in the afternoon. >"

Miss Una Mahcr, Miss Anna Fjnertv
Miss Rita Mooney, Miss Mabel Sicvers
and Mrs. z. o. Altman.
1T was announced that $4,000 worth

seen Americans fighting in France and
all have to say is that if they fight

In the evening a dinner was given
to the mission at the Hotel McAlpin.
MI Wltkowski, chairman Of the Pol

topic of interest.
To-day there are $4,000 men in the
Polish army on the Western front
Eighteen thousand of these have been
recruited in this country Eight thou
sand more are now in training at
Niagara on the Lakes. The object of
the present mission is to raise this
total to S000O-the number necessary
to give the Polish forces the status
necessary to an autonomous army. and
last night, again and again, confidence
was expressed that this object would
be obtained.

OF course, all this, which occurred yes

Part of the story was the quivering

on behalf of the National Polish Com

Part of it was in the linked Polish

Mayors reception room, where the
ceremonies were held, and part lay

British Evangelist Decorat-
ed by King Before Sail
ing for America
Religion in Trenches
Facing Death Makes Soldiers
More Reverert, Says
Lecturer

Britain's great evangelist, Gypsy
Smith, clad in khaki, has just arrived
in America with message Of good
will from England After fortnight
in New York he Will spend three
months on d lecture tour OF the t-aitcd
States, under the auspices OF the Brit
ish Y. NJ. c. A.
Just before he sailed for the United
States he was decorated by King
George for conspicuous service during
the war, and made a member of the
Order of the British Empire.
W. Gordon Sprigg, who accompanied
the evangelist to organize his tour Of
America, said the King had personally
thanked MIR. Smith for the splendid
services rendered British troops on the
firing line and for his remarkably sue
cessful efforts In bringing to English
audiences the story of conditions at the
front.

greater than any message | have had
before" the evangelist said yesterday
at the home of Mrs. Solomon, 2l5 West
Ninety-tirst Street, where he was rest
ing after his voyage.

fire at the front in order to be able to
reach our boys who are facing death.
They listen eagerly to what | have to

are bringing home their message. 1t
is not difficult to- talk TO men under
such conditions"
as there new religion springing UP
on the battlefronts ~ he was asked.
"No, | believe not" he said. Rather
than that new religion is developing
I would say there is greater rever-
ence and keener appreciation of the
old"
He found on the front no doubt of
ultimate victory for the Allied cause.
he said. and feeling of optimism
among both officers and men.
"We may go under or go west" they
express themselves. "But what of that
if the race is secure ?"
Heroism and self-sacrifce such as
abound at the front do not of them
selves gain eternal peace for the dying
soldier, GiDsy Smith believes.
"But in response to the cry of the
heart face to face with eternal realities
salvation does come" he said, "and the
rar thus crying may believe conf
