Victory Ship Here
On Schedule Time
Last Leg OF Voyage Is at
Full Speed Because of
Heavy Late Buying

Full steam ahead, and with victory
pennant futtering triumphantly from
her masthead, the Destroyer Calhoun,
victory ship of the navy, sped into New
York harbor yesterday afternoon at
o'clock with the news that the nation
had oversubscribed the Victory Loan.
The Calhoun's voyage was an event
full one, and marked the last leg of a
trip from San Francisco; trip de-
signed to remind the country when It
Jagged behind in subscribing for notes
and at the same time give the sporting
American something to gamble with.
The Calhoun came from the Panama
Canal, where it had relieved the Des-
troyer Crane. The Crane in turn had
relieved the Destroyer Marblehead at
San Diego. The Marblehead began the
voyage from the Golden Gate on the
day the loan campaign opened.
Just as the loan was taken by Ameri-
cans, so the voyage was made, no fast
er, no slower. For each $857,142.s5 sub
scrlbed, one mile was covered.
Inc destroyer reached Sandy Hook
at noon and anchored. AS soon as it
arrived IN this port-designat Vic
tory Harbor by the Loan Committee
Rear Admiral Cowie, in charge of the
campaign in the navy, issued state
ment in which he said:
"While official figures are not yet
complete, there is every evidence that
the Victory Liberty Loan is oversub-
scribed, and therefore the victory ship
at 3 p. m. put into New York, the Har-
Dor Of Victory.
"The victory ship bore a victory PEN
nant and a victory letter from the
Mayor of San Francisco to the Mayor
of New York
During the first two weeks of the
loan it was necessary for the victory
ship to send out o S calls to the
country, urging 'supscriptions-over
subscriptions to bring her into port
on time. In the last three days of her
trip she was able to make full speed
ahead-thirty-f knots-because of
the sudden spurt of the country in Vic
tory Loan subscriptions.

Gen. MGcArthssy' TO
Head West Point
appointed by March to
Relieve TiLInaun as
Superintendent June ~

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Appoint-
ment of Brigadier General Douglas
Macarthur, formerly brigade COM
mander in the Rainbow Division, to be
uperintendent of the West Point Mill
tary Academy was announced to-day by
General March, chief of staff. Gen
eral Macarthur will assume his duties
June ~, relieving Brigadier General
Samuel Tillman, who will return to the
retired list.
General Macarthur was major
when war was declared against Ger
many, and is one Of the youngest Off
GERS ever made head Of the United
States Military Academy. He is thirty
nine years old, the son Of Major Cen
eral Macarthur, veteran Of the Civil
War and of the Philippine insurrec-
ton.
In 1903 he was graduated from the
United STATES Military Academy with
honor and, as q second lieutenant, was
assigned to the engineers. Within the
Year he was promoted to the rank of
first lieutenant. He was made a cap
tain in 1911.
Two years later he was assigned to
the General Staff, and during the bor-
der disorders he acted as chief censor
OF the War Department, with the rank
Of major. In this position he was an
unqualified success in the estimation
of the men who mad dealings with him.
1t was as a major that he went to
France. but soon after arriving there
he was jumped to the rank of colonel
and made chief of staff of the Rainbow
Division. The next step was to the
rank of brigadier general, with COM
mand of the 84th Infantry Brigade of
the Rainbow Division. AS brigade COM
mander his gallantrv won him two
wounds, decorations from the Ameri-
can and French governments and rec
ommendation for the Legion of Honor.
He also was recommended for the
rank of major general by Major Gem
eral Charles 7. Menoher upon his re-
hnquishment of the command in the
Rainbow Division. 1t was thought that
General Macarthur would have attained
that rank but for the signing of the
armistice. His appointment to the
academy is taken to mean that he will
retain the rank of brgadier general.

Upper Fifth Avenue
Campaigns Against
Apartment Houses
Building Restrictions Sought
by Property Owners to
Protect Homes Now There
From Tall Structures

A drive has been launched by the
Fifth Avenue Association to keep
apartment houses off Fifth Avenue,
between Fifty-ninth and Ninetieth
Streets. An effort will be made to in
duce the Board of Estimate to restrict
the heights of buildings in that Sec
ton and also for a block east of the
avenue within those limits to seventy
five feet.
Speedy Action Is Urged
Propaganda agencies, including it's
official organ, "The Avenue" are being
used by the association. In Especial
Save-Upper Fifth-Avenue' Number"
the readers are asked:
"Shall upper Fifth Avenue be aban-
doned to the apartment house and the
mercenary purposes of those who seek
to line it with huge multiple dwellings,,
or shall it continue to be be most beau
tiful residential district of the world ."
Continuing, it says: "The question is
vital to New York's future, and the
of this city who love the avenue and
take pride in it to supply the answer!
Upper Fifth Avenue is in real
danger! The apartment structures
already erected there have had most
serious effects in the immediate locali-
ties. Nearby property values have been
lessened Splendid residences whose
light and air have been shut off have
been closed, and the avenue at the
points affected has distinctly lost
much of its charm and it's architec-
tural beauty"
Purdy Joins in Campaign
Lawson W. Purdy, head of the city's
Department of Taxes for ten years, is
lined up with the association. Con-
tributing to "The Avenue" he declares
that Fifth Avenue is the show street
of the City of New York. Anything
which impairs it's beauty will impair
its value and will affect us ALL"
"Some of the beauty spots on Fifth
Avenue have already been damaged
beyond repair, but the number of tene-
houses already erected in this section
is few. Now is the time to put up the
bars and stop the erection of Others"
Among the property owners who
favor the proposed building restric-
tion are w. Emlen Roosevelt, Clifford
V. Brokaw, Frederick Lewisohn, Mrs
E. H. Hartman, Mortimer L. Schiff,
Mrs Nicholas F. Brady, George Ehret,
James B. Clews and James Speyer.
The campaign was launched formally
at meeting at the Bankers Club Of
the directors Of the Fifth Avenue Asso-
citation. A committee for the protec-
ton of the park section of Fifth Ave-
nue., composed of of Michael Dreicer,
chairman; William E. S. Griswold,
William Salomon, Frank D. WELLER and
Judge Ebert II. Gary, was appointed
to conduct the campaign

cial institutions.
AS soon as we nave export licenses,

Of the United States government to
