For 'sVictory Arch
Some Aldermen Object to Size
of Appropriation for Tenn
pOrarv Structure

that the amount was extravagant

voted by the Board of Aldermen at its
meeting yesterday to build tempo
rarv arch of victory on the west side
of Madison Square. between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-hfth streets.

sailors marched on the conclusion OF
hostilities between this country and
Spain.

Ferrand, of Brooklyn, led the protests
against the size of the appropriation
He said that he had three sons in the
service and two of them were now
lying in hospitals in France suffering
from wounds and gas.
But | hesitate in voting for such a
sum-" he said.
President Bowling answered that any
money not spent on the arch, which
probably will be built of plaster, will
be returned to the city.

ton, but many aldermen refrained from
voting 1t was carried by an almost
solid Tammany vote.

Har'lworking Defence Com

Mayor Mitchell Disbanded
for New Organization

While New York was enthusiastically
greeting the first conglngenu Of its re-
turning soldiers yesterday, Mayor
Hylan quietly snufed out the official
life of the hardest working Of the war
organizations brought INTO being by
the la.e Mayor Mitchell,

1t had ceased to bring political pres

most important work was to have been
that of greeting the returning soldiers,
1T was not permitted even to partici.
pate IN yesterdays reception to the
Mauretania's soldier-p passengers.
With the approach of the days when
soldiers will reach New York almost
hourly, the Mayor made it known that

the Mayors Committee on National De-
fence, Immediately rendered his resIg-
nation, to take effect last Saturday.
Former Congressman George A Loft, a
Tammany leader of unquestioned
standing, was appointed to take his
place.
With the arrival of the Mauretania
troops only two days away, the Mayor
refused to give the committee au-
thorlty to proceed with plans for their
reception. 1t was because of this de-
lay that the 1900 men who landed here
yesterday received only the informal
greetings of the citizens and a brief
VlsiV from tug carrying the Mayor
and his own party.
Later Saturday, after Mr.. Loft had
repeatedly announced that he could do
nothlng until given authority by the
Mayor to act, he was called to the Of
tlce OF Mayor Hylan for a conference.
AT the conclusion of the conference
neither would say what had been de-
cided.

was given out indirectly with the an

this uncertainty and tl,e restrictions

in their honor.

paired his sight, but he stuck to the
controllers, and although given up as
lost by his flying companions, he
travelled back fifty miles over enemy
territory, and, fainting, dropped in at
his camp.
Lieutenant David NJ ingalls,, an
American in the British air service,
who has the distinction Of being the
first American to become naval ace,
with eleven enemy machines to his
credit refused to talk of his exploits,
but his friends said he had himself
been shot down twice, and had been
decorated by the British government
With the y. r. c. order, one Of the
highest aviation honors. Lieutenant
Ingalls, was greeted at the pier by Mrs
Henry p. Dawson and her daughter,

light bombing expedition against Aus
trian munition dumps was planned, and
volunteers were asked for. Leuten-
ants James /. Ball. of Cleveland, and
De Witt Coleman, ir., Of New Jersey,
jumped forward and were picked for
the rerious task.
They started out in a night bombing
plane, huge, slow machine usually
employed after dark, and in the day
time an easy target for the smaller,
faster scouting and battle planes. The
two Americans were soon left behind.
No sooner had their convoy disappeared
than five Aus machines dropped
down on them from the clouds and
opened fire from all sides.
1t was an even fight from the be-
ginning. For a half hour the Amcri-
cans, who had two Italian officers with
them, were able to stand off the at
tackers, and sent two of them down
out of commission. At the end of an
hour the Italian machine was disabled
and sent hurtling to earth in its turn.
The bodies Of the two Americans, in
the wreck of their machine. were found
by companions, who said that they had
been stripped and robbed of all pos
sessions by the AuStrians before they

Jack Singer, for ten years New
York City policeman, was the happiest
man on the pier when he touched land
yesterday. He is member of the
216th Aero Squadron.

but it's the best feeling in the world
to be back" ne said.
Singer was stationed at Shrewsbury
where he acted as bombing instructor.

The total appropriation for the naval
establishment is estimated at $2,64a.-
100000, or an increase of approximate
~ billion dollars over appropriations
made for the current year. Just what
reductions in naval estimates were
made following the signing Of the ar
msticc with Germany, which ended

the army is concerned, however, Gen

priaton of the army budget is for the
air service. Under aircraft production

Sl45,o00,oo0 is submitted, supplement

air service itself. Last year tie appro-
priations under these two headings
were respectively $750,000, 900 and
$lS4.000, ,000. Even with the great cut
made because of the end of hostilitics,
the total of $165, 100000 NV sought,
however, shows that great stress is to
be laid hereafter on aircraft develop
