In the effort TO avoid a repetition OF
the incidents which marred the Twenty
seventh Division parade at many points
when the crowds broke through police
cordons and occupied the line OF march,
access of pedestrians to the sidewalks
along Fifth avenue to-day will be regu-
lated by the patrolmen in charge Of
each section of the street. All cross
streets leading TO the avenue will be
closed as soon as the policeman in
charge of block decides that the ca =
pacity of this section has been reached.

OF the parade, The only means of

traffic will be permitted on the cross

and 1850 men will be stationed at tbs
municipal stands. A firemen also will
be on duty at each stand.
Inspector O'Brien explained that tn,
reason for shutting of all cross-towr

hence II was said at the offices OF the

the State last night. Their problem Is
distinctly the problem of every employer
OF this greater city" said DR.. George W.
Kirchwey. the Federal director. Shortly
before the division started for home fig
ures were compiled and turned over to
the service and they showed that several
thousand of the men who bore some of
the bitterest fighting in the Argonne
Forest and in the drive for Sedan are
jobless.
Statements have appeared recently
which will give the impression" said
DR.. kirchwey. that there is no serious
problem Of unemployment for soldiers and
sailors. ] have read that there is job
waiting for every soldier. This is. OF
course. untrue. There are a great many
jobs for skilled mechanics. possibly. but
that does not help the unskilled man"
