and for Troops to Arrive

Tuesday, March %, is the day on
which New York will pay its final
tribute to its heroic sons in the 9th
Division.
That day will be set aside as a
municipal holiday on which not only
the city, but the state and nation will
devote themselves to honoring the men
who first broke through the Hinden-
burg line.
The date Of the great parade in Fifth
Avenue was moved back three days after
conference yesterday afternoon at
which it was found that numerous OBJ
staces stood in the way of parading
on March %, as originally announced
Friday. The first date, which fell on
Saturday, would have made it i'm
possible for the hotels to entertain the
$4,000 marchers at banquets in their
main banquet halls, for the members
of the Legislature to review the men
and for the city's committee on dec
orations to carry out the elaborate
plans already in hand for making Fifth
Avenue over to suit the occasion.
Major General John F. Organ, who
had named the original date for the
parade. Immediately agreed to the
change when it was found that the
men could not be entertained as we'll
on a Saturday as on another week day.
Moreover, he said that he welcomed
an opportunity to give the transports
that now are speeding across the At
lantic a wider margin to cover possible
delays.
General Organ, speaking last night
at dinner to New York Guard Of
ficers, said that sentiment and morals
we're the chief factors in the making
OF an army. 1t was sentiment, he said,
that drove men forward even after
they had been wounded and were ex-
hausted physically. A sense of re-
sponsibility made soldiers perform
deeds of heroism far beyond the line
Of duty while lack of it allowed others
to cover in funk holes while their
comrades went forward, he said. A
full account o. General Organs re-
marks will be found on another page.
