Committee to Fir
Parade Piar, To-day
Mayors Aids to arrange
Welcome to Men Wh0
Won Chateau Thierrv

Paris tossed roses in behalf Of the
heroic I'd Division when the man ,xho
held the Germans at Chateau Thierrv
paraded in the French capital, saved
from the enemy by their fighting New
York will attempt to-day to decide how
these fighters can be shown that the
biggest city Of their land appreciates
them as much as and more than Paris
At City Hall this morning Mayor
Hylan, Rodman Wanamaker and other
members Of the Mayors Committee of
Welcome to Returning Troops will con-
ter with Major General Lejeune, COM
mander Of the I'd, and Major General
Shanks, commanding the port of en-
barkation At this conference the line
Of march for the 27,00O heroes will be
determined. In general way it will
be the same as that of the 9th and the
77th divisions
Reviewing Stand Planned
John +. Sinnott, the Mayors secre-
tary and secretary Of the committee Of
welcome, said yesterday a reviewing
stand would be built at the Public
Library, and that in all probability the
men would start from the WASHINGTON
Arch and march north to 10th Street.
The date will be either Friday, August
8, or Tuesday, August 12.
There Will be approximately $4,000
army men and 5000 marines in the
parade, all of the division except the
1st Field Signal Battalion, which is
still on the Rhine. Originally those
army men were regulars, but almost
every man of the original force has
had his name in the casualty lists, and
the requirements, who make up the
bulk of the division, are either National
Guard or National Army men.
- from Washington word came to City
Hall that Acting Secretary of the
Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt. and
Major General George Barnett. com
mandant of the Marine Corps, would
witness the parade of the Second.
Their interest, of course, is chiefly in
the Marines, those chaps whose ten
acious fighting at Chateau Thierry
caused the retreating Germans to dub
them Devil Dogs" the name that will
forever stand for United States Ma
rlnes in every land on the face of the
earth.
Secretary Roosevelt and Secretary
OF War Baker conferred yesterday on
the parade, and Secretary Baker agreed
with Mr.. Roosevelt that as many Of
the members of the division as possible
should be kept in the service to make
the affair distinctively a I'd Division
enterprise
81 do not know whether the parade
will be next Friday or next Tuesday,"
Secretary Roosevelt said, "but what
ever day it is, General Barnett and
myself are going to be in New York
to witness it."

youths would be required to submit
certain reports giving their addresses,
changes in status as to dependents,
physical condition, etc. They would re-
ceive 81 for each report called for and
submitted. thus encouraging the max
ing of reports. In the event of war all
men in this status would be called to
sions and compose the f1rst replace
ment units.
The bill provides for reorganization
OF the regular army in substan TALLY
the same terms as previously recon-
mended by Secretary Baker when the
current army appropriation bill was un-
der consideration.
No mention of the National Guard Is
made in the bill, but in his letter to
the committee chairman Secretary
Baker said he assumed that the ma
tional defence act would be continues d
in force, making the Guard subject to
liberalization for war.
One feature of the universal train
ing plan of the department is complete
liberalization Of the registration and
induction machinery. Local and appeal
boards would be created as during the
war, except that compensation at $40 a
day is provided for board officials but
no mention is made of employing state
officials or agencies in carrying out the
project.
Youths in training would receive no
pay, but would receive payment for all
expenses and an allowance of IS a
month for incidentals. No exemptions
would be granted except to soldiers,
sailors. members of the merchant ma
rine, public or private, or to those
mentally or physically deficient. To
meet the case of those with dependents,
however, provision is made for de-
ferring the training period
The theory on which the bill rests is
that an army of 1,25O,O0O should be
available for rapid mobilization at
need. 1t provides that the complete
of a field army of that
size shall be maintained, the only diff
ference between peace and war time
footing being in the enlisted strength.
The twenty infantry and one cavalry
divisions would comprise that field
army.
To support the plan general staff
officers have prepared full detailed
studies of cost, systems of mobiliza-
tion, administration and all other feat
ures which the department is prepared
to submit whenever the Congressional
committees call for them.

Interboro Going Broke; {;
Would SOffend' No One
Quackenbush, Lawyer for Com.
pany, So Informs Service
Board at Transit Hearing

Several men and women, passengers
on the lnterborough subway train that
was shunted last Tuesday to a siding
at 18th Street, although bound for
Dyckman Street, told their stories to
Deputy Public Service Commissioner
Glennon yesterday.
John Gross, the train dispatcher, said
he found "big gap in the service"
when the train reached 137th Street
and decided to terminate the run there.
Mr.. Gross said he informed the pas
sengers that the train would go no
further. Some left the cars. Some of
the husky men among those who re-
manned decided that Gross should re-
fortytive minutes.
In telling his story, Gross said he
finally broke away and telephoned to
his chief, who told him to dispatch the
train to Dyckman Street.
''You should have done this in the
first place" observed Commissioner
Glennon.
"Now I don't want you to form a
hasty conclusion" interrupted James
L. Quackenbush, chief counsel for the
interborough, addressing Mr.. Glennon.
"You should determine your duties as
you swore to do under oath"
Il don't need you to tell me what my
duties are or what I swore to-" re-
torted Commissioner Glennon.
"The Interborough is transporting
the public ably and efficiently. and we
have no desire, especially when we are
going broke, to offend a single person
using our road,' said Mr.. Quacken-
bush.
Decision was reserved.

Former Chief of A. E. f. Air
Service Tells Committee
Burning Followed Fail
ure to Sell Machines
Says Army1s Handicapped
Fliers Not Trained Fast
Enough, Asserts Col. Pat
rick in House Inquiry

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Denial that
any aircraft of the A. E. f. was
wantonly destroyed was made to-day
by Mason M. Patrick, former chief of
the air service abroad, appearing be-
fore House war investigating COM
mittee.
THAT any planes were burned need
lessly or wastefully is Incorrect" de-
clared Mr.. Patrick, now a colonel of
engineers, who, when chief of the
American air service abroad, ranked as
major general. "None that it would
be economical to keep was destroyed"
Destruction of the machines fol-
lowed an effort to sell them which, fail
ing, resulted in the salvage as junk
of parts. None was offered for sale
or destroyed, Colonel Patrick said,
until after an inventory had proved
their worthlessness.
Coupled with his testimony regarding
the destruction of planes, the former
chief of the air service said that when
the armistice was signed the United
States had about one-fourth the num-
Der of planes on the front that should
have been there, considering the size
of the front-line army He gave TAO
planes as the number of. machines act
ually at the front, of which 213 we're
built in this country.
Falling down in the training of avi-
ators, rather than inability to get
planes, caused the insufficient force,
Colonel Patrick said. Training of the
men, he explained, was tedious and
slow, but he said he did not "impute a
fault to any one," adding that it, like
production, was the result of Estate
of affairs over which we practically
had no control" Colonel Patrick also
pointed out that the American pol
icy of troop movement abroad was
changed when the Germans began their
spring drive last year, infantry and
artillery men being rushed abroad at
the appeal of the Allies.

Anarchy Menaces World,
Says Vice-President
League of Nations Is Urged as
Opportunity for People to
Cool Down and React

RALEIGH. N. c., Aug. 4-The men
ace of the world to-day is not German
imperialism, but the tendency toward
no government at all, said Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall tonight at dinner be-
fore 500 guests of the Raleigh Cham
Der Of Commerce, to whom he also
made an appeal in behalf of the League
of Nations.
The Vice President maintained the
time has come for class rule to cease
and that while in favor of justice to ali
classes, he urged that it be admins
tered to American citizens as American
citizens.
There is danger" he added, "that
in turning from the imperial system to
the realm and domain of democracy
we are liable to travel in the other ex.
treme and declare we will have no gov
ernment at ALL"
For this reason, and to give the peo-
pie of the earth an opportunity to cool
down and react into something like a
normal condition the Vice President
argued for the league Of nations.

number of shells fired. The total
amount was we'll above 285,O0O AL
though engaged in nearly all the major
offensives of the A. E. F. their casual
ties were surprisingly slight compared
to the work they accomplished. Sixty
five officers were killed or wounded
and 300 men are listed as casualties.
1t was the 18th Artillery that placed
the famous barrage on the town of
Vaux a little more than year ago,
which not only destroyed every build
ing but also demolished every German
entrenchment for distance of five
square miles. In less than an hour
4,004 shells poured on the German
breastworks, thus enabling the in

Secretary Lane Says Job
Will Require Three Years;
Seward-tO-Fai rbanks Link
Will Be First Completed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-With labor
and materials now available, the gov
eminent is preparing to rush work on
the Alaskan Railroad and Secretary
Lane asked Congress to-day for $751;
100000 to complete the job The
Alaskan Railroad Commission esti-
mates it will require three years.
The appropriation of $13,S00,000
asked includes S4,000,000 of the orig
inal estimate of S35,000,000 for the con-
struction of the road, and a deficiency

presenting the request for the def
cheney, said

London Tubes Still
Tied Up Despite End
Of Railinen's Strike
Workers Show Little lncli-
nation to Go Back; Scotch
Miners Resume Work:
Glasgow Men Still Out

LONDON, Feb. S.-The strike situa.
tion in London continued confused
this afternoon. The Secretary of the
National Union of Railwaymen issued s
statement that settlement had been
reached and advising the men to re-
turn to work, but, like the electricians
whose strike was declared off yester-
day. the railwaymen show little inclina-
ton to return to their places, at least
before Monday.
AT me Of the large electrical works
where the employees appeared this
morning prepared to resume work they
were informed that the plants were
shut down for the present and that
those desiring to return to work should
apply next week.
AT 4 O'Clock this afternoon the
underground management issued the
following statement:
THE striking employees not having
returned to work, it is improbable that
the trains will be running to-day"
Apparently the announcement made
by the Board of Trade shortly after
midnight that a settlement had been
reached was premature. According to
a statement made by the strikers com
mittee at noon to-day. both sides were
very near a settlement early this morn
ing.
Sir Albert Stanley, President of the
Board cf Trade, had announced at 2:20
O'Clock this morning that an agreement
had been reached. Acting Secretary
Hudson of the union had subsequently
declared he was satisfied with the
agreement which had been reached. He
said that accredited representatives
would be appointed by the union to
care for the physical needs of the men,
pending arrangements which will be
made IN preparation for the establish
ment OF an eight-hour day.
Hundreds Of motor trucks hired by
the War Department greatly relieved
the situation to-day. The trucks came
into the ncart of the city damned with
passengers.
The striking workmen of Glasgow,
GOvan and Clydebank resolved on Fri
Gay to continue the struggle for a
fortv-four-hou week.
The strikers joint committee has is
sued statement alleging the carpen-
tiers of Glasgow have decided to strike.
Ane Scvp.4sn miners have all re-
sumed work pending discussion of the
whole situation at the miners confer
eace at Southport on February ~
BELFAST. Feb. Sit is unoficially
stated that employers of union labor
have asked striking workmen to re-
sumo work en- a basis of forty-seven
hours week, with a promise of a
forty hour week when the treaty
Of peace is signed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Francis J.
Heney, special counsel for the Senate
Agriculture Committee in Its investi-
cation into the affairs of the "Big
Five" packers, to-day informed the
committee that he had been offered
a job with the Armours.
He said that when J. Ogden Armour,
head of Armour & Co., was testifying

ing two weeks ago, Levi Mayer, counsel
for Armour, leaned across the table and
said to him:
"Heney, as l told Frank Walsh in
Chicago, if you come with US, We'll give
you more business than you can
handle"
Il think" observed Heney, in divulg-
ing this information to the committee
to-day that lawyer who would
do that ought to be dsbarred"
Heney assisted in the preparation
of the committees sensational re-
port charging that the meat packing
and allied industries of the country
were absolutely in the grip Of Armour,
Opportunity will be given Mayer to
reply to Heney's charges.
Mayer will probably appear on the
stand on Monday. Senator Kenyon
said ne will be asked then to explain
the offer to Mr.. Heney.
The statement was made by the com
mttee counsel in the course Of reply
to Henry Veeder. counsel for Swift &
Co, who said the alleged lobby main
tanned at Washington by the American
National Livestock Association was
larger and more active than any the
packers had ever maintained. A fund
