Members OF the parade commit
tee OF Eddy-Glover post, American
Legion, who conducted the Armistice
Day parade last Wednesday, express.
ed surprise at the statement OF Will
liam Sternberg, adjutant OF Stanley
Post, &. A. r., that the nine men,
bers OF the G.. A. Il. who turned out
In the parade had been sighted by
their position near the end OF the
line Of march and his promise to
bring the matter officially before the
meeting of the Z. A. r. post on De-
cember 2.
Mr.. Sternberg In an interview CIV
en- the Herald" yesterday stated
that although he was not talking Of
fcially for Stanley post, he was voic-
ing the feelings of mosts of the
members. He stated that he felt
that the veterans had been sighted
in being placed behind the automo-
bile dealers section and had been
preceded by almost every other or
ganization taking part in the cele-
bration.
Cedric Powers, marshal OF the pa
rade, in answer to Mr.. Sternberg,
has said that the parade committee
intended to insult nobody In the
parade and the place assigned to the
G. A. r. veterans was one Of honor
instead OF otherwise. He said that
in a parade. the place Of honor is
at the end Of the line of march be-
cause all organizations preceding
that body which Is being honored,
are escorts to 1t.
Mr.. Powers stated that the
parade committee handled all de-
tails in connection with the cele-
bration and he was appointed
marshal. He said that Mr.. Stern
berg must have a mistaken impress
sion of the committees intentions
which were to honor in every way
possible every war veteran taking
part.
Edward z. Ogren. chief OF staff,
who handled all details In connec-
ton with the parade. stated today
that he would not take any notice
Of the statement Of Mr.. Sternbcrg
until a formal complaint was made.
He said that he handled all the
details OF the parade but would
make no statement until he had
heard formally Of dissatisfaction
with the arrangements. AS no for
NAL complaint has been made to
him up to today, he had nothing
to say In the matter and said that
if any official action was taken.
he would probably take action at
the time 1t Is made.

GENEVA, September 9.-Not far
from the spot on the shore of Lake
Leman where President Wilson orig
inally planned to build the home of
the League of Nations and erect a
gateway of peace dedicated to the
legions of men who had fallen in the
worlds most devastating war, Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, revering her hus-
bands memory, lives in a lakeside
villa, continuing her pilgrimages to
Geneva.
Nothing disturbS her tranquility of
spirit; and nothing, apparently, pos
sibly can induce her to abandon her
determination quietly to continue in
the pursuit of the mission which she
has assigned herself, and which she
deems sacred. That mission Is to
study the League of Nations, which
her husband founded. and to do 1t as
would any of the thousands who come
to Geneva-quietly. modestly. without
ostentation and without special privi-
lege.
Mrs. Wilson absolutely refuses all
to functions arranged or
sought to be arranged in her honor;
she declines to make her appearance
lust because she is Mrs. Wilson, and
above all, she declines to be inter
viewed.
With the League of Nations a CON
troversial issue in the United States,
Mrs. Wilson believes she would not

and ideals If, taking advantage of the
fact that she bears his name, she per-
mitted herself to indulge in comment
