For the present the light plant
is closing down lat midnight and
resumes operations at six O'Clock in
the morning. This gives the con-
sumers light and power during the
day and early evening. The con-
dition is not pleasing to the man
agement, but is done in order to
conserve coal. Unless We receive
shipment OF freight in a few days
the company will be compelled to
make further reductions in service
However with the present outlook
we may expect freight the last of
! the week and then we will all be
| getting down to our regular rou-
tine of work with less nervous
ness.

Closeup" view of the operations of
the German "Red Cross machine gun

Croad, of Company II, 10sth Infantry,
during the storming of the linden

who had given him first aid treatment,
and then turned to the firing of their
deadly guns.

Seven nights out on "No Mans

That was the first taste of war of four
members of Company, 106th Machine
Gun Battalion. The drive never came,
and to-day the quartet impaticntly
waited for passes to Brooklyn, where
they thought they would never see
again. The men were all former mem
bers of the LIST Cavalry, |. Troop, of
Brooklyn, and include Sergeant Daniel
O'Reardon, Sergeant Philip Corwin,
Private August Becker and Private
Harry Blythe.

does not meet the enemy first in a
drive. Machine gun .outposts arc estab-
lished on No Mans Land to delay the
enemy. Four Of us were assigned to
four separate machine gun squads
each consisting of three Britishers and
ourselves. These particular squads
were to find shell holes in front of the
barbed wire, with nothing between
Jerry and ourselves but few yards of
riddlcd ground.
"On the night Of July 81, at 3
o'clock, we crept out with the machine
gun and gropcd around for a conven-

Jerrys first line, so close that We could
hear the hum of German voices. We
had orders not to fall back under any

Songs OF Victory
EV0n't Be Heard
During Parade

Voices raised in song will not greet
the veterans of the eth Division as
they march up Fifth Avenue next Tues
day. Nor will the assembled crowds
while away the hours of waiting by
singing. The Mayors committee of
welcome yesterday turned the frown of
official disapproval upon the plans of
the New York War Camp Community
Service. Grover Whelan declined to
grant permission to the service to dis
tribute 100000 free song sheets to the
crowds. He took the ground that it
was feared there would be disorder if
anything was passed out along the
stands.
Mr. Whalen also refused permission
to distribute the song sheets to the
men of the division so that they might
sing at the dinners to be given Tues
day night There would not be time,
he said, for the men to sing at dinner
The War Camp Community Service
originally planned Singing welcome
to singing victorious army" but
abandoned the effort to have lo aders
every few blocks to lead the singing in
the stands while the parade was pass
ing "icH ~ NtiS leNluSu lnlS music

parade.
The decision of the Mayors COM
mittee was delivered to Francis j.
Tyler, director of the singing depart
ment of the service, who said last
night: II was informed by Mr. Whalen
that he did not care to have our song
leaders take part in the parade plans.
He feared singing groups at different
points would cause friction. men

Pershing Diplomat
And Statesman, Is
Verdict of Organ
Laurels of General Will
Brighten in Perspective,
He Asserts; Archbishop
Praises Morale of Army

General John J. Pershing has shown
himself a great diplomat and states
man as we'll as a great military leader,
Major General John f. Organ said
yesterday at a luncheon Of the Law
yers' Club. The Most Rev. Patrick
J. Hayes declared his belief that he
would not have been appointed Arch
bishop of the Catholic Diocese of New
York had not Pope Benedict desired to
pay tribute to the American army
and navy. Archbishop Hayes served
as bishop of the American army and
navy during the war.
The army and the Church, as repre-
scented by the two speakers, agreed
that character and morale were the
greatest assets of the soldier as we'll
as the civilian.
"When the history of the American
effort in this war is written in true
perspective" General Organ said, at
will be forcibly brought out that Cen
eral Pershng acted not only as the
commander and leader of an army of
100000 men, but as diplomat and
Statesman in the high sense. And the
Iact that the latter role has attracted
so little attention indicates the meas
ure of his success in that field of diff
ficult problems"
Technical Training Overdonc
In speaking of the value of training
to soldier, General Organ said there
was tendency in time Of peace to en-
phasize technical training to neglect
Of development of individual morale or
dependability.
Il think every observing officer who
has had battle experience in this war"
ne said, will assure you local success
or non-succcss was tremendously af-
1eeted by the military character Of the
soldiers involved. Non-success was
seldom the result of technical igno-
rance Of the men. More often the
shortcomings were due to inattcnton,
iatcness, lack Of thoroughncss, lack of
sense of responsibility, initiative
energy or determination. These also
are the qualities which determine use
1uiness in civil life. The army has
many officers and men trained in the
IA" and their acknowledged success has
been affected by the character training
received in the universities and law
schools and at the bar of the country
Presence Tribute TO Organ
Archbishop Hayes said in part: ~
am mere as a citizen and native born
Mew Yorker and see very few OF
.n n"n az around-and as the shepherd Of
100000 souls of my church. united
TO pay a tribute to General O'Ryan for
the noble work done for our country

the general and keep step with him
IN the onward march toward the future
glory Of our beloved land"

Penn Recognizes
Boxing as Sport

Boxing is to be made recognized
minor sport at the University of Penn
sylvania. This was made known after
the monthly meeting of the university
council on athletics, when Major Pick
cring announced that plans had been
formulated to make the ring game Il
part of PENIS athletic programme.
Up until this time classes in boxing
have been given IN the Quakers' gym
nasium without any outside competi-
ton. For several years Coach George
Decker has been instructing squads in
the ring art and holding annual college
championship bouts. 1t is intended now
to give boxing a recognized place
among the minor sports along with
wrestling and fencing.

Huge Roll of Honor
Before the Public Library there will
be located huge roll of honor, upon
which will be inscribed the names of

deeds of the men.
Between Fortieth and Forty-second
streets golden shields emblazoned with
the divisional insignia will hang from

crossed spears and gilded eagles. In

by the reviewing stand in front of the

A setting for the dissolution of the
parade at 10th Street is another great
arch which carries the symbols of the
victorious Allies.
Mayor Plays the Host
Practically every ticket for the re-
viewing stands has been given out by
the Mayors committee. Attention
was called to the fact that Mayor
Hylan has assumed the attitude of
host to the soldiers and relatives in
the distribution of seats, which have
been provided by the expenditure of
about 100000 of tax payers money.
The tickets given to the soldiers at
both of the camps were accompanied
by this letter bearing the signature
Of Grover Whalen, secretary to the
Mayor:

Hylan, | am enclosing herewith two
tickets for the reviewing stand for .ho

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take a glass Of
Salts to flush out Kidneys
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly.
At frat you feel dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast
for a few days snd your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer Is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
