Baker Makes Peace Plea
AT 9th Division Reunion
Wants Some Organization of
Mem and Nations to Pre-.
vent War

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, Sept.
1.-THE first reunion Of the eth
Division, which was composed of New
York National Guardsmen, was opened
here tonight with a plea by Secretary
of War Baker for "some organization
among men and nations that shall go
as far as human organization can go"
to prevent the outbreak of another
war.
His assertion that attainment Of this
purpose SHOULD be one of the future
activities of veterans of the division
was enthusiastically applauded.
The speaker said he was as nom
partisan about the permanent peace of
the world as any man. He mentioned
no agency designed to effect peace.
Secretary Baker requested the CO.
operation of the veterans in efforts to
reorganlze the army and paid q tribute
to the work of the 9th Division and
General Organ.
United States Senator James W.
Wadsworth jr. opposed standing army
as large as $4,000 men and a navy
which would be first in size in the
world. He declared neither was re-
quired in peace time.
Greetings from the 30th Division,
with which the eth was associated
with the British army overseas. were
brought by Colonel Cary F. Spence,
former commander of the 117th In
fantry, and Brigadier General Edward
M. Lewis, former commander of the
30th Division. General Organ pre-
sided.
Business sessions will open to-mor-
row, followed by paxada.

New State Officers Begin
Work ON Plan for
a New Headquarters;
Cities to Bid for III
Results of the Albany
Convention Praised :
New Legislation Meets
With Hearty Approval

The new state officers Of the Ameri-
can Legion have lost. little time in
starting their administrative machin-
cry for the next year.
At a meeting in the Hotel Ten Eyck.
Albany. on Saturday night just after
the adjournment Of the state conyen-
ton, Department Commander Charles
u. Blakeslee and First Vice Command
er William F. Deegan, Of the Bronx, dis
cussed several important issues with
the members of the executive commit
tee, which is composed of the other
state officers and the nine district chair
men.
The chief subject considered was the
question of permanent state headquar-
tiers, and plan was formulated which
promises to give to the Legion a mag
nIflcent building of it's own as we'll as
to install it permanently in city
worthy of the honor. The project was
proposed by Vice-Commander Dcegan
and met with unanimous approval.
1t is proposed that all cities in the
state, outside of New York, be notified
that the American Legion will locate
its permanent department headquarters
in the municipality Offering the most
attractive inducement in the way Of a
Legion building. 1t is pointed out that
Binghampton, Commander Blakesloe's
home. and Rochester each have $780,
600 sinking fund which could be util-
lied for this purpose.
At any rate, the distinction is open to
the city wanting it most, and it is pre-
dicted that the competition will be
keen

Balloons to Reach America; Deer, Monkeys

A veritable Noahs Ark, the steamer
Chinese Prince, has arrived in Phila-

richest geological cargo brought to this
country in years. Ninety-six boxes and
crates of animals and birds, ranging in

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Sept. 12.-An
innovation in xailroading in this state
was introduced to-day on the Nara
gansett Pier Railroad when q gasoline
motor driven combination passenger,
smoking and baggage car was placed in
service on the eighs miles of track Of

and the pier. Should the experiment
succeed 1t is believed that the road
soon will depend entirely upon this
type Of locomotive.
The car was purchased three months
ago by Nathaniel T. Bacon, president
of the road. Although the expense Of
operation is estimated to equal that Of
electric operation, it would require but
two ears to take care Of the traffic on

The Albany Convention


Now that the Albany convention has
work accomplished by the delegates is
in order. Universal satisfaction has
been expressed with the new officials
and the delegates selected for the ma
tional convention.
The constitutional amendments passed
were those over which discussion has
been general during the last year and
they received almost unanimous sup
port from the delegates. The commit
tee on resolutions is also believed by
the delegates to have acted wisely in
its selection Of issues upon which the
league was to declare itself. Several
of the resolutions were passed by the
greater New York county conventions,
including:
That no charters shall be issued to
posts confined exclusively to business,
religious or fraternal organizations.
Calling the Legislature to pass the
concurrent resolution of civil service
preference to veterans.
Providing for the compulsory teach
ing of American history and civil gov
crnment in all public and private
schools within the state, with an Amer
textbooks to determine whether they
are loyal.
Demanding thorough investigation
Of the housing. situation and legisla-
ton relieving the crisis.
1ndorsing universal training and the
prosecution of draft evaders and other
war offenders.
Demanding a reduction in war in
surance premiums.
Ordering all Legion officials to cam
paign for the bonus bond issues at the
polls in November.
|, Advocating the retirement of all civil
sions who served in the World War, at
the expiration of twenty years serv-
ice. on one-half salary.
Proposing an amendment to the Con-
stitutlon which will provide for q
standing committee on civil service.
Demanding that policemen, fremen
and state policemen who served in the
war be permittd to wear their cam
paign ribbons on their uniforms.
significant feature of the conclave
was the action taken by the opponents
of the elected officials, who until the
final vote was taken were unyielding in
their determination that Ingalls,, of
Albany, and Ward, of Kings, should be
commander and vice-commander, re-
spectively. However, when the vote
was announced they made the selection
unanimous and personally pledged their
support to the new administration.
AS for the candidacy Of Thomas F.
Ward jr., commander Of the 106th In
post in the state, the delegates made
known their high regard for him and
it is improbable that he would have
been chosen to high Office on another
ticket. His popularity is unmistakable,
however, and next year he possibly will
be strong candidate for state COM
>mander.
