City Likely 10 Lose Out
On Surplus Army Food
v. Y. Unable TO Purchase Direct
and O'MaIIey's Substitute Plan
VIII Probably Re Reiecsed

New York City consumers probably
will receive none of the surplus army
food, Captain A. A. Stewart, zone sur
plus supply officer, said Yesterday
The plan suggested by Edwin a.
OMalley, Deputy Commissioner of
Public Markets, will not be indorsed
by the War Department, Captain Stew
art said. Mr.. QMallcy had suggested
that the city, although prevented by
statute from purchasing itself, should
act as agent for the government, busi-
ness men providing tho money.
Il received word from WASHINGTON. "
Captain Stewart said, chat an offlr
similar to that of Nh O'lalley's had
ben refused. This offer provided for
the purchase of the fooGstutfs By a
group OF fnancicrs and the sale Of
them without a profit. The ruling was
made that the original plan of Offering
the food to municipalities alone would
be adhered to-"
Captain Stewart was told that Mr..
o'Malley had declared he would make
an effort to get tie goods at lower
prices than those ramed by the gov
eminent. The captain remarked that
the government is a one-prcc trader
Tic added that permitting the city to
act as agent would involve the gov
ernment in too complicated business
negotiations.

Veterans Want Insurance
70 BE Paid in Luyf,D Sy,,,

The American Legion announced YES
terday that it proposed to advocate an
amendment to the war risk insurance
act to permit insurance payments to
be made in d lump sum instead Of in
monthly lnstaments as at present.
he effort will be made through the
legislative committee of the Legion at
v Nashlngton, of which former Senator
Luke Lea and former Representative
Thomas w. Miller are joint chairmen.
The present form of war risk insur-
ance IS known as term insurance, and
Is payable in monthly instruments for
period Of 240 months. This may be
converted into ordinary forms OF in
surance, such as straight life insur-
ance, twenty or thirty year paid-u3
iifs Insurance, and endowment insuY-
anor. Except in the case of q matured
endowment, these forms of insurance,
under the present act, are payable only
IN instruments, extending over a twen-
ty-ycar period the amount Of install
ments depending upon the amount Of
insurance.
The purpose of the intended amend
ment is to allow men to elect how the
insurance shall be paid. Service men
say that their beneticiaries in many
cases are too old to realize usefulness
from the insurance if paid only in
monthly instalments. It has been
suggested that men be allowed TO
elect payment of part of their total in
surance in one lump sum and the bal
ance in instalments.

Navy Heads Veto Recruiting
Officers Plan to Sail
Blimp From Rockaway
Across to Central Park

Naval authorities declined yesterday
to sanction the flight of a hlimp from
the Rockaway Air Station to the sheep
meadow, Central Park, because of the
recent accident in Chicago, when a
dirigible fell through the roof of a
bank and killed twelve persons.
Admiral Glennon, commandant of the
Sd Naval District, in calling off the
flight, said he did not care to subject
New York to the possibility OF SINH
lar accident. Lieutenant Commander
J. II. talge, in charge of the recruiting
station at 81 East Twenty-thrd Street
had arranged for the flight to aid the
recruiting drive which is being carried
tion.
TO compensate for the blmp's flight
Lieutenant Commander Falge arranged
with the Rockaway Air Station last
night to send three machine guns, d
Nickers, Lewis and Davis, to the sheep
meadow, where the NC-4 is on exhibi-
ton. 1t is intended to mount these
guns on the NC-l in the same positions
they would be placed on fighting

4, 800 Overseas Men
Home ON 3 Transports
Sierra Brings Force of Brooklyn
Infantry; Boston Unit Comes
In Aboard the Mexican

Three army transports brought back
yesterday 4,3O0 officers and men. The
Sierra. which left ST. Nazaire on July
13, carried 1867. The largest unit on
board was Company II of the I'd
Pioneer Infantry, whose skeleton or
ganization was composed of the old
14th Infantry Of Brooklyn. In Com
pany H there were between 90 and 100
Brooklynites, who said, as they came
down the gang plank, that they were in
walking distance Of their homes and
were heartily disgusted at being forced
TO report to Camp Merritt before be-
ing allowed to return to their families.
Company II was commanded by Captain
John }. Delaney, who, although born
in New York, has served eighteen years
in the regular army and now calls the
army his home. He went abroad a
year ago with the seth Division.
Troops on board the Mexican were
composed largely of the Sd Pioneer
Infantry, numbering 2,470, and COM
manded by Colonel W. w. Stover, Of
Boston. The Sd Pioneer Infan-
try saw action in the last days Of the
Argonne offensive and is composed
principally of the old 9th Infantry of
Boston. In addition to troops from
Boston there were also some from Min
nesota and Wisconsin.
The Pasteres, which sailed from st.
NaZaire July II, brought ZOOS officers
and men under the command Of Colonel
Paul O. lie Blanc. The men were all
casuals and will be sent to Camp Mer-
rift for demobilization
