Woman Voices Objection
To Convention System
Manhattan Suffrage Chairman
Believes Majority of Party
OppOses Change

In discussing the bills now before
the Legislature providing for the Sc
lection of candidates by state convcn-
ton instead of by the present method
of direct primary, Mrs. Charles L.
Tiffany, chairman of the Borough of
Manhattan Woman's Suffrage party,
said yesterday:
This nomination by convention
makes for organization and party
control of officials. Even though an
official is selected by the bosses to- day
his election depends upon the peoples
vote. Therefore, when in Office, he is
not under the heel Of the party or
organization.
"Thc convention system of nomina-
tion is promoted. believe. by group
Of reactionary Republicans, who, the
women of the state believe. are for a
machine-ru government. This group
of Republicans seem to distrust she
judgment of the people.
81 sincerely hope that when these
bills come to the Governors attention
he will bear in mind the fact that the
ma ajority of the women in the state
object to the selection of candidates
by the convention system"

mittee and tell them So" he said.
"Then the tickets can be distributed to
soldiers. If it is found that the Mayors
committee needs the tickets they can
have them. If the tickets are not
needed the aldermen will take them"
Bowling Offers Park Benches
At one point, previous to the intro
duction of the Quinn resolution, Bor-
ough President Frank L. Bowling sug-
gested that park benches could be util-
lied for the wounded soldiers who were
to witness the parade. He stated that
the wounded were to be taken care of
first in the distribution of the tickets.
but if the hospital authorities desired
benches could be provided at the street
intersections near the hospitals.
Alderman John Wirth, of Brooklyn,
insisted repeatedly that Mr. Dowing's
suggestion was a good one and pointed
out it would provide just so many more
seats in the grandstand
Mr. Whalen stated last night that in
the distribution of tickets the wounded
in the city will be provided for first.
After the marchers have been taken
care of the remainder will be used for
general distribution. The first of the
tickets will be given out to-day to the
soldiers at Camp Mills.

Conference Opens
For Retraining of
Disabled Soldiers
England, France, Belgium
and Italy Represented;
None Unready for Civil
Life Released From Army

An international conference on vo-
cational problems for wounded and
disabled soldiers, under the auspices
of the American Red Cross, was opened
yesterday at the Waldorf Astoria. Del
egates from England, Canada, France,
Belgium and Italy described the pro-
grammes of reconstruction of those
countries, and the policy of the United
States government was outlined by
Colonel Frank Billings, of the dvi-
sion of physical reconstruction of the
Surgeon Generals office.
There will be two open sessions in
Carnegie Hall this evening and Friday
for which tickets may be obtained
from the registration desk at the Wal
dorf Astoria, and mass meeting on
Sunday at the Rippodrome, at which
Charles Z. Hughes will preside.
France had $4,000 young men in
capacitated by disease or wounds. said
DR.. Maurice Bourilon. Whenever pos
siDle, the wounded men are being
trained to renew their previous occu-
they are given technical training for
other professions. The reconstruction
work in Italy was described by Pro-
fessor Vittorio Putt. Fifty thousand
crippled soldiers. he said had formed
an organization to cooperate with the
government in encouraging their com
rades to take advantage of vocational
training.
England has provided vocational
training. not only for wounded soldiers,
but for boys who were under age when
they enlisted, and for widows of
soldiers killed in the war, according to
Mrs. Ethel Wood, secretary of the
Local War Pensions Committee of Lon
don.
Soldiers disabled in the Civil War
virtually rotted away a useless life in
soldiers home" said Colonel Billings
for the United States. "That taught us
the lesson that we owed it to these men
who were disabled in this war to help
them resume their places in the field
of endeavor. AS a result of our plan,
no soldier is discharged from the army
until he has fully recovered, or as
nearly so as the nature of his injury
will permit"

said. If you defeat my motion | can

feated, Al to Is.
Mr.. Quinn declared that the changes
made in the department by Enright

political whims and wishes of Mr.

Hylan. and his relatives in the depart

Following the defeat of the Quinn

and men OF the American Expeditions
arv Force, nearly all of whom had seen
service in the American attack against
the Hindcnburg line.
The first vessel to arrive was the
Italian steamship Europa, with 1,642
officers and men, mostly officers and
men from the 3o6th Brigade Tank
Corps. including many winners of cita-
tions and distinguished service crosses.
One Of the winners of the d. s. C..
was Lieutenant Harold j. Ash, of Com
pany c, of the 345th, whose home is at
1898 Amsterdam Avenue. Lieutenant
Ash was a student at Princeton, class
of 20, in 1917, when he joined the
French army. Later he joined the
American Tank Corps, and was pro-
noted to be sergeant gunner. He won
the D. S. c. on October 2, 1915.
How He Won War Cross
At daybreak of that morning Lieu

Harley Nichols, of Minneapolis went

tank was out of commission for good,
but the two pilots had plenty of am
muntion and their gun was not dam
aged. Both decided that the best SER
vice they could render was to stay
with the tank and watch for machine
gun nests. They waited for nearly
five hours and finally spotted two
nests which they put out of business.
When their ammunition was ex-
hausted they crawled back to their
lines. Ash had a shrapnel wound in his
chest and two machine gun bullets in
his leg, and Nichols was badly cut up by
a high explosive shell.

after the attack had been made, but
he told no one of his injury. Several
hours after the enemy had been routed

dermen, yesterday blocked the attempt
OF Alderman William F. Quinn to have
the members of that body go on record
as refusing whatever tickets are al
lotted to them for the parade of the
27th Division next Tuesday SO that the
wounded men could comfortably view
the marchers. Following heated debate
on the question of tickets, Quinn intro
duced this resolution:
RESOLVED, That the Board of Alder
men unanimously agrees to forego the
allotted number of tickets for the
parade to review the 9th Division on
March 20" Immediate consideration
OF the measure was asked. Unanimous
consent for such action was necessary.
The resolution in itself raised a
furore in the Aldermanic chamber.
Many of the members told how anxious
they were to give their allotment of
tickets to the wounded boys, but most
OF them managed to qualify their state
ments.
McCOurt Favors Refusal
Alderman McCourt, a Democrat, came
out fatfootedly for the immediate con-
slderation and adoption of the Quinn
measure. 81 am absolutely in favor of
this resolution" he declared. "The
members of this board should refuse to
take ticket"
Much the same sentiments we're ex-
pressed by Alderman William P Ken
neatly, leader in Charles Murphy's own
district. But he could not see the ad-
vantage to be gained by the adoption
OF the measure. The special alder
manic committee headed by him ap-
pointed to confer with the Mayors
committee on the question of tickets
for the aldermen chad already decided
to act along the lines mentioned in
the resolution" he said.
