10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
New York. March 16.--Ready to
reorganize every force at their COM
mand for a desperate drive for the
presidency in 1920, republican ma
tional, state and city leaders con-
ferred in this city. in close touch with
their national chairman, as start for
the most momentous presidential
campaign in recent history. Behind
the G. o. p. fight to come back in
control of the White House, every
ounce of pressure in public sentiment
against every act of the democratic
administration throughout the war is
to be welded together and added to
every anti-administration influence
relating to postwar peace negotia-
tons. Millions of dollars in money
backing and a tremendous amount
of organized effort is counted upon
by the republican council here to
push the plans from now right UP to
election day next year.
Stirring Stories.
Hearing for the first time the full
story of the war from the lips of their
returned menfolk, thousands of the
families of New York's own Twenty
seventh division are now able to Wis
ualiZe the real experiences of their
boys abroad. While the weeks of
waiting for rehabilitation and the
final triumphal parade are dragging
slowly for the men of the Twenty
seventh at Mills and Merritt, every
hour is being eagerly employed to
tell to their home folks the details of
their heroic fight for mastery of
Germany's last line of defense. When
the last man has told the last of this
story to the last of his people about
this city and state, 1t is assured that
everyone in the Empire state will
have more real reason to be proud
of their sons and know more of war
trials than ever before.
Ship Schemes.
That scores of ships, secretly held
by British interests under fake Amer
lean ownership, are not today ready
to start serving German commercial
ends has just been shown here to be
due to the ceaseless activities of Fran
els p. Caravan, the new alien property
custodian. Following trails that led
through the water fronts, skyscrapers
and shipping centerS all about town,
this director of alien enemy inVestiga-
ton has succeeded in finding millions
OF dollars worth of cargo and for
mldable fleet of vessels, that were
destined to be used as q vanguard of
Teutonic commercial conquest at the
end of the war, Even since this con-
cealed enemy flotilla is turned over
to bringing our boys back home UNI
der Uncle Sans control, grave peril
of permitting Germany to again grasp
at world domination of chemical and
commercial lines still exists, according
to the report of this man. who met
the enemy entrenched behind the
lines and wrested from him his hold
on American trade.
Patriotic Prejudiee.~
With squads of soldiers and sailors
lining up to guard the opera houses
here from the Teutonic brand of
music it is beginning to look as
though German opera would be dor
mant for a few seasons at least. Just
now everybody is inclined TO give the
boys in uniform just about what they
happen to fancy: though there are
thousands of thoroughly patriotic
civilians who would welcome Wagner
back as pure artistic joy. However,
the handorgan school of opera ap-
pears to be pushed on patriotic
grounds just at present, and many
music lovers are beginning to wish
that the greatest composers hadn't
happened to be born within German
boundaries even if it was a genera
ton ago.
Popular Parade.
Second only to the subsequent
march-past of tho >Twentyseventh di-
vision, the st. Patricls's day parade
here is counted as the event of the
year thus far by million or more
of the men whose sons helped put
most of the punch in many 1.meri-
can DIVISIONS. About a nucleus of
wounded survivors of the good old
Sixty-ninth regiment, the loyal sons OF
st. Patrick are able to march with
more glory than ever in all their his
tory. Only when the heroic Sixty
ninth comes home to walk Fifth ave-
nue.. will this, holiday parade be bet
tered, these New Workers assert.
