BAKER VETOES
DEAD'S RETURN
Plan to Bring A. E. F. He.
roes to New York Graves
Frowned Upon.

Newton d. Baker, Secretary of
War. yesterday definitely declined
to bring back any of Americas un-
identified dead from their present
place of burial in France. The re-
fusal was communicated to DR.. Jo-
seph Kossuth Dixon, representing
Rodman Wanamaker, deputy police
commissioner OF New York. The
number OF unidentified A L. +. men
inferred In French soil is some-
where between 1900 and 1000.
Mr.. Wanamaker's project was to
rebury them in specially consecrat-
ed ground in Central Park. New
York City. and to convert their
graves into a great national shrine.
The graves were to encircle the
Victory Altar" which was erected
during the war at Twenty third
street and Fifth avenue. Funds
were at Mr.. Wanamaker's disposal
sufficient tocfnance the project on
n splendid scale, but no argument
sufficed to induce the Secretary of
War to alter his negative deter
mination.
Mr.. Bakers objections seem to
be purely geographical and sec
tional," said Mr.. Dixon last night.
He conjures up the bogey of jeal-
ousy' on the part of Philadelphia,
or Chicago. or Boston, or st. Louis.
II New York were permitted to be-
come the final resting-place of men
whose homes may have been else
where. was amazed to find him
wholly devoid of the vision which,
1t might have been supposed, he
would bring to bear toward our
project.
"All suggestions of the enduring
lesson in patriotism to be taught
by the presence of these mems
bodies in American soil were futile.
Mr.. Baker secuted them all by trot-
ting out his town-rivalry talk. Un-
less Mr.. Harding's Secretary of War
reviews the decision, the scheme is
killed. Mr.. Baker declines tc bring
back even one body for interment
in Victory Hall. New York. or in
the crypt of st. John the Divine
Cathedral. What the British nation
has just done at Westminster Abbey
and the French at the Arc de Tri-
omphe leaves the American Secre-
tary of War quite cold"

Not only will the resolutiohde-
clare that peace exists. but IL will
provide for resumption OF trade
relations and for the Redistribution
Of all other relationships necessary

stepped a direct answer by saying
that he has not been invited TO Join

matter President-elect Harding must

ural. Senator Knox brought out a
curious historical incident Custom
requires that the chairman of the

following he resigned from the
Senate to become Secretary OF state.

LONDON, Nov. 2i.-Reprisais will
be allowed to continue in Ireland
until the Republican crimes are
stamped out was the gist OF the
reply made by Sir Hamar Green
wood. chief secretary for ireland. to
another attempt In the house Of
commons by Asquith Independents
to overthrow the policy of iron
handed repression
The debate plainly showed that
the vast majority of the members
of the house of commons are deaf
to the worldwide protests at the
Irish horrors and are passionately
convinced that the government Is
taking the only practical course to
restore peace.
The deliberate charge by Asquith
that the military and police in Ire
land set out upon reprisals equipped
with petrol and bombs. was greeted
only by angry Interruptions and
found support only from a handful
of independents and laborites.
Defends Military.
Greenwood vehemently defended
the military. He charged that
small opposition Is engaging in q
loathsome alliance with Irish lead
ers. The Secretary's passions famed
up as he ievelled the direct charge
that the Asquithites are supporting
a conspiracy to wreck the empire.
He declared that monstrous lies
are told about the acts OF the mill
tary in ireland. Only IL creameries
were attacked, he said. out of total
of 710. some of which were used as
Republican headquarters where
plots were Matched and ambushes
arranged" He contended that he is
trying to avert rcprisals for "klns-
men murdered in cold blood when
not even a pane OF glass had been
broken"
Although there are thousands Of
t~"nns in ireland. over 1000 metro
poiitan police, so0- recruits.- soc
5Is1R ara Taps and 500 aauxiliaries.
he said, There Is no case In the bis.
discipline has been maintained un-
der such frightfuf provocstion."
Attacks American Papsrs.
Asquith pointed out that the
American sewspaper correspondents
were impartial reporters Of the
atrocities in Ireland. Greenwood
declared that they were prop
agandists and guests of the Sim
Feiners. adding:
Anyone would think to read their
accounts that policemen and soldiers
were going about two-thirds of Ire
land burning and staying. while as
matter of fact three-quarters or
ireland is as peaceful as County
Kent although there are troops In
every Irish county"
Despite the Sunday orgy Of crime,
reports tell of murders throughout
ireland. The secretary repeated.
however. that the troops are sue
ceeding and that ireland is getting
more peaceful because the forces of
the crown are breaking up terrorism.
The only solution in dealing with
assassination is to put down the
assassins."
