Cire q Thought to
Riuerside Driue

NHE roadway along the lower part of
L Riverside Drive is among the best
IN IN the world; But north of 135th Street
after another. "It's a shame" says
one of the residents of the upper
Drive, that this street. which is the
most beautiful in New York, should be
spoiled by, poor road construction. The
scenery along the Drive is admirable,
put what chance has one to appreciate
1T II he is being bounced all over the
road ?"
Manuel casseres, of se5 Riverside
Drive, thinks the condition of the road
is due to neglect. For the last two
years" he says, "the Drive between
both and 158th Streets has been simply
terrible. Occasionally parts of the
roadway would be patched, but there
mas beeHs no attempt recently perma-
nently to repair the roadbed"
Many autom obilists turn up on Fort
Washington Avdfiue or over to Broad
way to avoid the stretch of bad road
along the upper Drive. They complain
that the road is narrow in many places,
and that this, together with the bad
bumps, makes it difficult driving. Down
belo" there is much more traffic than
up here" says Michael Cunningham, of
Wrlght's garage, at 158th Street, near
the Drive, yet look at the condition of
the road. The stretch from Seventy
second Street up to 135th is as smooth
as glass. But the piece here has been
poorly built and we have the opposite
extreme. The Rocky Road to Dublin
must be easy gliding compared to this"

New Certificates Popular
War Savings Brand May Be
Exchanged for Treasury Variety

Federal Reserve Bank officials an
nounced yesterday that owners of war
savings certificates, series of 1919, may
exchange them for Treasury savings
certificates, in denominations of 81 900.
War savings stamps will be received
in lieu of cash at the Federal Reserve
Bank and at agencies for the sale of
Treasury savings certificates when or
ganization is completed throughout
New York State and the twelve north
ern counties of New Jersey Several
holders of war savings certificates went
last week to the Federal Reserve Bank
and exchanged them for the new is
sues, adding the necessary amount of
cash: One of the investors was the
president Of banking institution.
The new securities are issued in reg
istered form only and an exchange Of
war savings stamps for them renders
the money that was invested absolutely
safe. They mature on January l, 1924.

been informed that General Pershing
is now writing his final report and
that it will be possible for them to
quote from this if they desire.
Many letters are being received from
individuals on subjects ranging from
offers to manage almost any kind of
campaign the General might want to
make to asking personal favors. These
letters invariably are marked urgent"
and strictly PERSONAL" and give the
Generals aids and secretaries less
bother than the more serious communi-
cations, because it is only necessary
to drop them into the waste basket.
Recently report was circulated in
France that the American army was
burning motorcycles, motor trucks and
AUTOMOBILES because it was impossible
to sell them. This brought daily
deluge of letters from individuals and
societies asking the general to give
them from one to half dozen auto
mobiles. The tone of the letters in
dlcates general belief in France that
General Pershlng personally owns the
American army transportation, and
rather than destroy it it would be bet
ter to distribute it among those who
go to the trouble of asking for it, The
report that the army was destroying
rolling stock began when a French
newspaper published a picture of a
huge, pile of motorcycles and cars,
hopelessly broken, being destroyed.
The photograph was bona fide enough,
though in reality the army has a "sal-
wage pile" from which all valuable
parts are saved the remainder being
destroyed because it is the cheapest
way to dispose of it,
During the war General Pcrshing re-
ceived hundreds of letters from in
dividual Americans telling him how
to end the war. For the most part
these epistles were answered, thanking
the donor for the information.
The prize solution for a quick vic
tory came from a Georgia woman, who
suggested that American steel manu-
facturers be put to work making hun
dreds of thousands Of bear traps. Gen
eral Pershing was then counselled to
place these traps in front of the Amer
lean trenches in great numbers and
then have the army feign retreat.
When the Germans started to follow
they would be caught in the traps.
at will then be possible" she ex-
then go out and collect the prisoners"
"There are a few things about war
am not familiar WITH" she added,
land if this plan is not quite feasible
you may laugh about it all you please.
A good laugh will hurt no one
General Pershing was extremely
amused, but he did not have an op-
portunity to try out the bear traps,
because the Germans demanded an
armistice a short time after the letter
was received Other schemers lacked
certain sense of humor. They de-
manded that their schemes be adopted
for the good of humanity.

Engineer Corps
For Army Training
Proposed in House
Hulings Bill Plans Force
to Build Public Works
and Be Ready to Take
Up Arms for Defense
Ne1U York Tribune

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 27.-A substi-
tute for universal military training,
which would make America prepared
and at the same time construct roads,
levees, bridges and other public works,
is suggested in bill introduced in the
House by Representative Hulings, of
Pennsylvania, to create a public ser
vice corps.
Under an appropriation of 5000 ,000,-
600, Representative Hulings would have
400 unmarried men between the
ages of eighteen and twenty chosen
each year from each Congressional dis
trict in the United States. This would
provide an annual force of between
175,000 and 100000 young men for
training purposes.
While organized along military lines,
the corps men would be different from
members of the regular army in that
they would direct their energies princi-
pally to engineering subjects, with
less stress laid on purely military
drilling. The army would be des sgned,
as Representative Hulngs says, "to
promote the public service and to pro-
vide for the national defence"
Privates would be paid $50 per
month, corporals $55, sergeants $50,
first sergeants $65 and sergeant ma ors
$40. The commissioned officers would
be paid the same as officers of like
grades in the United States infantry.
The engineer officers would be prac-
tical engineers, acquainted with the
business of road building. Corps men
would not be liable for military service
outside of the continental United
States.
Representative Kahn, of California,
chairman of the House Military Affairs
Committee, to-day expressed himself
against Representative Hulings's plan.
"Organized labor will never stand
for it," declared Repres Kahn
"This scheme would simply take bread
from the mouths of the laboring men,"
According to Representative Kahn, a
high percentage of American expedi-
tionary force veterans approve his
scheme for universal military training.
one combat division alone, he said,

"If the General had accepted one

next few years but travel about the
country carrying out the promises. The
General himself does not know what

it,"

offers are flowing into the Generals

tauqua circuit offered him an enorm-

sums if he will write "a brief chapter"

Washington Was Richest
American When He Died

At the time of his death George
Washington was. probably the riches
man in the United States. A schedule
attached to his will indicated that his
wealth was above $5O0,OOO, an enorm-
Gus fortune for those times.
When a young man he inherited 4
fortune from his brother Lawrence.
His wife, formerly Mrs. Gusts, was
rich, and in those days woman S
property went to her husband at mar
riage.
Lands on the Ohio, that Congress
granted to Washington, were estimated
at the time of his death to be worth
100000, but that was only Sc an acre.

MANY ASK TICKETS TOLEAGUE DEBATE Applications for Tickets to Lodge-Lowell Speaking
 Pouring In
By Associated Press

Boston, March n.-Applications for tick cts of admission to Symphony hall on the evening of March 19, when Senator Lodge and President Lowell of Harvard university will discuss the proposed league of nations, poured in upon the committee of arrangements today. Before any plans for distribution of admission had been worked out requests from clubs and individuals had been made for the greater part of the 2500 seats available
 The affair will have the character of a discussion of wide latitude instead of @ debate on precisely worded question. Senator Lodge said today his theme would be as set forth in his letter to President Lowell, accepting the latter 5 invitation to meet him on the platform: :: The plan for the league of nations agreed upon by the commission Of the peace conference which has lately been published in this country"
 pr. Lowell's letter put the matter little differently. He asked for a debate on the question:: "Whether or not the substance of the provisions of this cove nant should be ratified by the United States
 Neither will be bound by the usual rules of debate. Senator Lodge will open the discussion outlining his views and speaking for an hour Dr. Lowell will then take an hour and a half to state his case in support of the substance of the covenant championed by President Wilson and to reply to the argument Of his opponent Senator Lodge will then have another half hour in which to re- ply.
