Postals from Walter H. Holzbaur, Of

by relatives. This is the first word
that has been received from Walter
Holzbaur since several weeks before
the armistice was signed and consider
able anxiety has been felt for his safe
ty. He stated that he was we'll and
hoped soon to be transferred to the
States.
About 5000 men of the 87th divi-
sion sailed from France on Christmas
eve and reached New York yesterday.
Most of the men will go to Camp Dix
for rehabilitation. This division was
formed at Camp Pike, Ark, and COM
pleted its training at Dix, where va
cancies in the division were filled from
the depot brigade.
Among the 10000 American vet
Grams to pass in review before Presi-
dent Wilson at Humes on Christmas
day were picked battalions and COM
panies from the 29th Division. This
is the former New Jersey National
Guard division which includes in its
personnel former Company E of Mount
Holly. 1t was, indeed, a splendid tri-
butte to the New Jersey boys that they
should be chosen by General Pershing
to parade before the President, be-
cause that honor went only to troops
which had seen hard service and suf-
fered heavy casualties in operations
against the enemy. It is Also learned
unofficially that the 10Th Division has
been twice cited for bravery in battle
in the Argonne sector operations.
On Christmas day Mrs. Henry c.
Claypole, Pine street, entertained Bug
Ter Albert Click and Sergeant William
Cook, both from Camp Dix.

New-York tribune., 1918-03-10

The packing of the Hillqut vote in
particular sections of the city, instead
of its being spread over, IS, then, the
first noteworthy thing about it, and
helps to indicate the seriousness Of the
situation. But much more important
matter awaits us. This is the determi
nation, so far as is possible, of the ele-
ments that make up the population Of
these sections. We are not able to
ascertain from any official source the
racial or national constitution of the
smaller election districts, but we may
learn something with respect to the
larger Assembly districts. In the Fed
eral census Of 1910 statistical ar
rangement is made of these districts
according to the country of the nativity
of the Inhabitants or of that of their
parents. Though since that time the
city has been redstrictel, it is still
possible to find what present election
districts are embraced in the former
Assembly districts, and thus to discover
the main national affiliations of the
population contained therein.
Of the 335 election districts carried
by Mr.. Hillquit, 275, or more than four
fifths of all, are located in thirteen
former Assembly districts, each having
ten or more-sufficient as & rule to be
a determining factor. Six of such dis
trcts are in Manhattan, four in Brook
lyn, and three in the Bronx (The last
named borough is to be regarded as of
lesser relative Importance, having only
one-tenth of the city's population,
though it has nearly doubled since).
Moreover, of the remaining sixty cleo
ton districts won by Mr.. Hillquit,
forty-one, or two-thirds, are contigu-
Gus to those in the assembly districts
mentioned, indicating a similar demo-
graphic constitution, and making 3l6.
or 94.3 per cent, of his election districts
accounted for. Of the 213 election dis
tricts giving him a majority Of all the

political division of all, which are
severally intended to meet the needs
of about 800 voters, though often
answering for 400 or more, and some
times for 200 or even less. There are
to an Assembly district, as a rule,
about go election districts, or few
less, though occasionally the number
may go to 40 or more
In the election Of 1917 Mr. Hillquit
obtained a plurality in 335 election
districts, of which 129 were in Man
haitian, lO7 in Brooklyn, 96 in The
Bronx and 3 in Queens-or, in all,
about one seventh of the total number
Of election districts in the city. The
black spots on the accompanying map,
prepared according to the boundary
lines of these districts, show the parts
captured by him. With few scat
tered units, this vote is seen to be
massed in five great centres, the elec-
ton districts of which were practi-
cally solid for him. The first is the
lower East Side of Manhattan, the
area south of Fourteenth Street and
cast of the Bowery. The second is a
group hugging close the northeastern
corner Of Central Park The third is
the Williamsburg section Of Brooklyn,
just across the East River from the
lower East Side Of Manhattan. The
fourth is comprised in what is known
as the Brownsville section, in the east
ern part of Brooklyn. The fifth COW
ers the eastern portion of The Bronx.
Of the 335 election districts, further
more, giving Mr.. Hillquit plurality,
2l3, or very nearly two-thirds, gave
him a majority as well-more votes
than were cast for all the other can
didates together-95 being in Man
haitian, 73 in Brooklyn and As in The
Bronx These districts are found
almost entirely in the five sections
! Just enumerated.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-10
By The Rev. w. M. Woodfn

associate Secretary Of Presbvterian Board
Of Temperance aad Representative Of
the Federal Council Of Churches
CEATED in front of one of the lead
~ ing editors of America few days
before sailing, ! asked him what
he wanted me to find out for his jour-
nal IN France. We had been discuss
ing the various and sundry reports
winch have been circulating through
out America concerning the moral con-
dltlons of the American expeditionary
forces. He leaned across the desk
which was between US, and with his
eyes fixed and with tone of deep
earnestness in his voice said some
thing like this: 81 want to know
whether our military authorities are
really trying to keep the men sober
and clcan.'
saw in his reply a unique mission
which, so far as knew, no civilian
had heretofore attempted.
He knew, as did, that there were
tens Of thousands OF homes in Amer
ica which would receive the official
news that their loved ones had fallen
In line of duty upon the field of honor
with resigned wills and patriotic
hearts; but if these same homes had
knowledge that their loved ones were
being debauched by drink and dis
eased by vice, would voice their indig-
nation in such way as to produce an
upheaval against the administration
responsible for the military affairs.
1t was with the thought Of rendering
practical service to the soldier. as
well as to the people at home, that the
Presbyterian Board of Temperance
made it possible for me to come to
France and gather data at first hand
for the board and the country at large
New-York tribune., 1918-03-10
Our War Leaders
And the Moral Code

The problem that confronts us is not
whether the moral code has been
broken, nor whether our troops have
done things for which we would like to
apologize to our noble hosts, but
whether our officials are earnestly try
ing to keep our soldiers from vice and
whether they Will be able to return to
America an army as clean and as free
from disease as the one sent over. Are
the military officials heart and soul
trying to keep the men from vice and
shame, or are they winking at vice and
attempting simply to safeguard the
men through prcventives for the sake
OF military efficiency? Have our lead
ers soul and conscience and are
they attempting to project that soul
and conscience into the army, or do
they regard themselves as the agents
responsible for a human machine
which will beat the Germans?
1t is my hope to throw light unon
the problem, as have been permitted
access to all the general orders on the
subject and records which are reserved
for the army. 1t has been my privi-
lege to have personal interviews with
officials, from major general down to
corporal. l have shared the condolences
OF army chaplains, some of whom are
Catholic priests, who gave me valuable
information from their experience. l
have spoken to thousands of men in
Y. NJ. c. A. huts and have got the
point of view of the private. The
Y. NJ. c. A. secretary has given me in
formation from his point of view After
getting the data from these varied
sources and striking an equation | feel
that my conclusions are based upon in
formation which may be trusted

Moral Laxity
Soon Corrected

But this situation has been corrected
by military regulation and by the in
fusion of troops that represented a
better type of Americanism. The
French had high ideals of us and ex-
pected us to live up to them. In a
town l visited some miles back behind
what viii! be the American front
was told by n commanding officer of
an incident which shows what the
French expect of US. There were two
American officers who dsgraced their
uniform at a hotel with two dis
reputable women. Some French off,
