SEC'Y BAKER ABAND0NS
VICTORY PARADE IDEA

WASHINGTON. April 2.-Secy
Baker announced Tuesday that he
had been forced TO abandon hopes he
has entertained that a victory par
ade of three distinctive fighting
divisions might be arranged to take
place in Washington. The divisions
he had hoped TO assemble for the
purpose, ne said. were the first, rep
resentative of the old regular army
and the first TO land in France, the
second, which includes the marine
brigade and the 42nd or rainbow
the national guard unit, built up
from the forces of states.
The secretary said experience had
shown that it would be impossible
to get the three divisions home at
anything like the same time and he
had been forced to limit the review
to the 42nd division alone. Plans
for divisional parade of that or
ganization, il is understood, are
now being worked out. Whether
even this will be practicable has not
yet been definitely decided.
