Secretary Baker said:
There Is some interest in the quee.
ton of parades by the Homecoming
troops. We are getting to a place where
divisions are being ordered home from,
France. We want to bring these divi-
SONS TO the port nearest their place o.
origin, and then as soon as the division
can be shaken down We want to give |,
an opportunity to parade and be seer
in the nearest large city from which
the men come. For instance. the Black.
hawk eighty SIXTH Division come,
largely from Chicago. ! am hoping tc
be able to work out A plan by which
a substantial part OF that division car
parade In Chicago.
Many Physical Limitn tiors.
81 notice that the statement has beer
printed that I wanted the Rainbow Di
vision to come to Washington; hop,
that will be possible. The Twenty-sev
snth Division. I understand. is on priorit,
orders TO come home. II will go {
Camp Upton and then, no doubt, IL vii
he brought into New York and allowed
70 parade,
Il am not trying to announce f!xe'
policy. because the physical condition
are very different. With regard TO TIL
rlackhawk Division, which will go T.
Camp Grant. the camp Is a consdera BIZ
distance from Chicago and the ,rail
arrangements for getting the whole divi
sion TO Chicago will be very compiled tee
and perhaps impossible. One plan r,a.
he to have the troops sent through thu
1ty first, allowed to detrain. par lde
and then entrain again for the camp
thus breaking the railroad journey.
Il want the people Of the country Il
know that we arc working on the mat
tor and that just 40 far AS IL is possihl
We want the parade to be held. In tn
case of the Twenty-seveT.h. of course
y will be rear New YORK. and il ma
be possible to parade the whole division
snd so far as ia possible have men VIII
have been in that division and now ar
in this country to go TO New York {
parade with it,
