 NEW YORK, May 23.-A nation never be called on to make war so long as God and man rule together" was the prayer of President Harding as late today he reviewed survivors of the world war at a regimental review in Brooklyn.
 Tt must not be again." was his declaration earlier today when he at tended memorial service for five thousand war dead on the army piers in Hoboken.
 The same theme - spoken before the living and before the dead brought tears to his eyes and to the eyes of those who had followed him through the days program. At a luncheon of the Academy of Political Science and at a dinner celebrating the 125th anniversary of the New York Commercial he had expounded the need of putting the government on business basis and of recon structing the nations business and industry. It was at the military functions that he stirred the emo tions of his audience.

 came to her anchorage amid the salutes of a hundred war craft in the | Hudson.
 Then. the catching in the throat as he arrived in Hoboken at the bivouac of the dead, entered the piers which served as temporary tomb for the thousands of brave lads whose flag -draped collins covered the floors, row on row and laid upon ! thn clr nf hIn Michigan-the first American AilIed i on German soil Ia wreath that served as a symbol for all the coun- try's war dead.
 i Children Cheer President And later the cheers of welcome oi children voices-the voices of tens oI thousands of children waiting tc greet him as he motored to Brooklyn through the east side. | Then a quickening of the pulse when in the Twenty third regimen armory in Brooklyn he saw surviv ors of the war-torn l06th swini , brayely past him at a review And finally the laying aside for moment Of the emotions, to lay be fore his audience the problems tha face post-war America in her recon ] struction period.
 The presidents day was so crowd |
 of rest until he again boarded tn
 yacht late tonight to return to Wash
 ington.
 New York gave him an enthusiasti
 welcome. Great crowds cheered hin
 everywhere.
 The greeting that reached hi
 heart. however, was that given b,
 Young America-the 25o00o schoo
 children who lined the route t Brooklyn.
 These children, granted a half hol iday, stood in drizzling rain, way

 g Boys Band Serenades-
 Another demonstration of youth
 full patriotism that pleased the presi s dent was a serenade by the boy ' band of 400 pieces. Returning {
 his hotel from the regimental re
 view, he ordered his car stoppe' v while he spoke a few words of ap
 preciation to the musicians. After the military review, the pres ident walked across the hall to if wounded soldiers from the Fox Hil t hospital, Staten Island.
