a delegate primary March 8, will elect
the first delegates, but they may run
as "unpledged."
But North Dakota, with primaries
March 16, forces real showdown.
Under the North Dakota primary law
candidates for presidential nomina-
tions are voted on directly, the names
to be put on the ballot by petitions
of five hundred voters, and the petit
tons must be submitted by February
IA. So, in reality, St. Valentines
Day will see "show-up" of actual
candidates in both parties.

San Francisco, at present, has more

the German "Red Cross machine gun

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

That was the first taste of war of four

and to-day the quartet impaticntly

they thought they would never see

enemy. Four Of us were assigned to
four separate machine gun squads

were to find shell holes in front of the

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 250,000 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

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. O'Ryan 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-
sented 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 O'Ryan

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 Penn's athletic programme.
Up until this time classes in boxing
have been given IN the Quakers' gym
nasium without any outside competi-
tion. 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
the dead and q chronicle of the heroic
deeds of the division. The procession
will be halted here and Civil War
veterans will remove the laurel wreath
from the catafalque and lay it at the
foot of the tablet concentrating the
deeds of the men.
Between Fortieth and Forty-second
streets golden shields emblazoned with
the divisional insignia will hang from
trees. These are to be surmounted by
crossed spears and gilded eagles. In
the approaches to the roll of honor a
variety of colors and insignia will be
shown, but in the centre of the DESIGN

OF the division, the monogram. N. Y. D.

The guard of honor at this point will
be composed of G.. A. r. veterans and
some of their oldtime adversaries of
the Confederacy.
When the cortege arrives at the Roll
of Honor, four G. A. r. veterans and
two Confederate veterans will remove
the memorial wreath from the caisson

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

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
MR.. JOHN L. CARNEY

The cononer's jury empaneled by
Judge Smith at Lake Weir yesterday
to consider the death of Mr.. John l.
Carney consisted of Messrs. Nathan
Mayo, J. N. Shedd, Frank Wilson, J.
Sigonhard, J. M. HARRISON and J. C.
Perry. After carefully studying all
the evidence, the jury brought in a
verdict that Mr.. Carney died from a
pistol shot, apparently by his own
hand.
The reasons for this verdict were
first that the wound, right thru the
head, could not have been inflicted by
pistol discharged by striking on the
foor; second, the pistol, a Smith &
Wesson hammerless, could not have
been fired except by pulling the trig,
ger; third, Mr.. Carney was known tc
have been much worried for some
time.
Mr.. Roberts of McIver & MacKay
took charge of the remains and pre-.
pared them for burial. The funeral
services wait on the arrival of one OF
Mr.. Carney's sisters, Mrs. J. HI. Hill
who will arrive from North Carolina
this evening. Other sisters, Mrs. Wal.
ter Gray of Tampa and Mrs. Morter
Turnkey of Leesburg are here.
Another sister, Mrs. Harvey Turn.

known whether she will be here or not
The funeral services will probably
be held at McIver & MacKay's chapel
tomorrow morning, and interment will
be in Greenwood.
