At S a. m. to-day Fifth Avenue is
to be swept clear of traffic.
At 9::j0 the great reviewing

will receive its official burden.
At 10 the bugles will biare across
Washington Square, the great cais
gon wreathed in honor of tbe 27th's
dead will trundle out through
Washington Arch, and the hour for
which all New York h?s planned

The wounded men, in automobiles,
will follow the caisson, and Major

at Twenty-sixth Street.
Between the loosened strands of
that ribbon, symbolizing the open?
ing of the land to their return,
they will march back into their
own, while a detachment of field
buglers sound a salute to each regi?

Visitors Sleep on Itoof
Upstate people were pouring into
town all day. By special train and
ordinary train and automobile they
came. They choked up the railroad
terminal?. They thronged the high?
ways until even the blas? Manhattan
traffic copa cried for mercy. They
jammed the hotels as the hotels have
never been jammed before. Long be?
fore night.'all it was impossible to ob?
tain accommodations anywhere. Hotels
as far north as Harlem were turning
people away. At the Majestic so in?
sistent vas the demand that, after the
ballroom had been filled with emer?
gency cots, places were hurriedly impro?
vised for additional sleepers, on tho
roof.
And still they came?wives, sweet?
hearts, mothers, sisters, brothers, fath?
ers ar.ii cousins. Boarding houses
"?ere levied upon, and late last night,
"hen the last of these had been filled
?p. a few hardy spirits s.tormed the
iowir East Side lodging houses to find

ViiU Fill Stands Early
Many wanted to spend the night in
great .-tarif1.:- which have been
reared at every available space along
Fifth Avenue. This was not permitted,
though. This morning, however, they
are to be given every encouragement
toward making an early start. All seat

New York Gets
First View of
27th on Parade
! Units of Division March
to Armories in Various
Boroughs From Which
They Set Off for War
Expeditionary troojjs from Manhat
: tan, The Bronx ana Brooklyn paraded
: in their home boroughs yesterdav on
i their way to the armories whence they
! will issue to-day for the homecoming
march of New York's 27th Division.
Formal announcement was made by
Major General John F. O'Ryan that
the division that smashed Hinden
; burg's line would remain an entity in
' the state's military establishment. Ad?
dressing commanding officers of the
'division. Genera! O'Ryan said:
"'On behalf of Governor Smith 1 am
permitted to inform you that the state
administration desires you to continue
as the military establishment of New
I York State in conjunction with the
? present State Guard."
Most of the <5.8lM wounded ihl-ii who
? will see the parade to-day will do so
through no assistance obtained from
the Mayor's committee, but from the
windows of stores and residences. The
| difficulty found in obtaining seats for
' them from the Mayor's committee
caused Major Charles F. Neergaard,
Red Cross official at the debarkation
hospital in the Grand Central Palace,
to say :
"There are no thanks due to the
' Mayor's committee that our men are
to see the parade." .
Tiie pride of .Manhattan, accoutred
. for war, marched up i ifth Avenue in
preliminary parades. The 107th In
' fantry, the nucleus of which was the
; "Dandy Seventh," and the 105th Ma
i chine Gun Battalion, formerly Squad
i ron A, were reviewed by Governor
i Smith, their own divisional commander
j and high officers of the army and navy
? as they swung past the Union League
1 Club on their way from the ferry to
? the armories where they were to spend
i the night.
Brooklyn had the lO'Jth Infantry,
? made up of the former 14th, 2,'5d and
| 47th regiments; the 104th and 100th
j Machine Gun battalions, formerly the
1st Cavalry, and a battalion of the
105th Field Artillery, which went to
i Spartanburg as the 2d Field Artillery,
! New York National Guard.
The 102d Engineers, formerly the
! 22d Engineers, paraded in the Wash
; ington Heights section of Manhattan
I and a battalion of the 105th Field
I Artillery marched in The Bronx.
?Escorts for each, local parade were
! provided by units of the State Guard.
500,000 in Brooklyn
See Their Own Heroes ;
Too Proud to Cheer \
Brooklyn realized every drezrn of
her returning heroes.
It was a welcome that was made up
of hearty hand clasps, a few tears and
thousands of long delayed family re?
unions. It was the greeting of the |
home folks for the sons who have writ?
ten their names in history. It was a
welcome almost devoid of the loud
cheering that usually accompanies such
festivities.
Considerably more than 500,000 men,
women and children fringed the streets,
crowded windows and roofs and perched
?D tree? along the line of march. And
their sincerity was evident from their
studied indifference to everything and
everybody but the men they had come
out to honor. Mayor Uylan passed
through the streets and to his scat in
the reviewing stand without arousing
a ripple of enthusiasm. Governor
Smith received a few scattering salutes.
Easy to Distinguish
Brooklyn's contribution i'? the tri- I

Two kings remembered yesterday
that the 'JTtii Divisio.i of the United
States Army was going to parade to?
da;,- in their home city. Albert, Kin;;
of the Belgians, and George of ling
land, sent messages to ?he N'ew York
troops.
King Albert cabled as follows:
"Having been informed of the
triumphal leturn of the 27th Divi?
sion of the American army. 1 ad?
dress to you and to your valiant and
victorious men who fought so brave?
ly in Flanders the giateful greet?
ings of tlic whole Belgian nation,

The message from King- George wa:
in a letter from General II. S. Rawlin
son, commander of the Fourth Britisl
Army, beside which the 27th fough
in the battle which it has been claimei
decided the war.
Me wrote:
"In a letter 1 have received fror
ihe King's private secretary," wrote
General Rawlinson, "he asked me to
'Let the division know that His
Majesty is cognizant of their lim'
achievements, and that on the King's
visit to the front in December last
year he specially studied the ground
over which Ihe division attacked and
learned for himself all that the divi?
sion had done in their eventful
days.' "

The Roosevelt Permanent Memorial j
National Committee definitely an- |
nounced last night the nature of the j

The announcement took the form of
the following resolution, which was
unanimously passed at a dinner of the '
committee at the Waldorf-Astoria:
"Resolved, that a fund be raised I
for the following specific objects:
"1. To erect a suitable and ade?
quate ? monumental memorial in I
Washington.
"2. To acquire, develop and main- j
tain a park in the town of Oyster i
Bay which may ultimately, perhaps,
include Sagamore Hill, to be pre- ,
served like Mount Vernon and Mr.
Lincoln's home at Springfield.
"?",. The establishment and endow?
ment of an incorporated society to
promote the development and appli?
cation of the policies and ideals of
Theodore Roosevelt for the benefit
of the American people.
"Thai to these ends a Roosevelt
Memorial Association be now organ?
ized."
Root and Wood on Committee
Colonel William Boyce Thompson,
chairman of the memorial committee,
read the resolution. It came as a cli?
max to a meeting of the committee, j
which had been held earlier in the
day at the committee headquarters, 1 j
Madison Avenue. About twenty-live [
proposals for the Roosevelt memorial
were made at the meeting. At its close
Colonel Thompson referred the vari?
ous proposals to a committee, which
includes Eliliu Root, Major General
Leonard Wood, William Lo?b, jr.. Gif
lord Pinehot, Governor fcmi i P.Cood

of Minnesota. The above resolution
was their report.
Following the passage of the reso?
lution Colonel Thompson read the fol?
lowing statement summing up the work
of the daj :
"The eager desire of the countless
friends and followers of Colonel Roose?
velt to express in something more in

and devotion they felt for him will, I be?

Hope for Terms in Week
PARIS. March 24. (By The Asso?
ciated Press). President Wilson met
Premiers Clemenceau, Lloyd George
and Orlando at the Foreign Office at :J
o'clock this afternoon Tor an hour's
conference before the assembling of
the Supreme War Council.
Both the conference and the Su?
preme Council were held amid a feel?
ing of concern over the revolutionary
developments in Eastern Europe and
the lack of definite, results thus far
reached in the Paris conference in sta?
bilizing European conditions.
President Wilson was known to re?
gard the situation as serious and as
calling for energetic action toward
hastening the.work of the conference
to completion, and there was reason
to believe thai this would be one of
the main subjects before both meet
ings, rather than t lie forfhal quest won s
on the programme,
Treaty Next Week
Reuter's correspondent says the ur?
gency for concluding peace may be
read in the decision of the Great Pow?
ers to-day to make a big effort to have
the peace treaty readv a week hence.
The final shaping of the peace terms,
the correspondent adds, will be the
sole subject of discussion between
President Wilson and the premiers
within the next few days, ami during
that period it is not likely the supreme
council will meet.
The advocates of the league of na?
tion'- maintain that it is in no way re?
tarding the progress of the peace
treaty, as the league meetings are heid
at night and are Hearing a conclusion,
whereas the obstacles to the treaty are
on questions.of principie, on which the
premiers tints far have been unable to
secure an agreement.
"As one delegate nuts it." the corre?
spondent adds; "'It has become a race
between peace and anarchy.' "
Wilson's Views of Obstacles
According to reports. President Wil?
son's view is that the two main ob?
stacles to an early conclusion of peace
are reparations for war damage? and
the Franco-German Rhine frontier. The
belief was expressed by those con?
versant with the President's view that

1 ONDON, March 24.?How to meet the Hungarian situation by
force is a matter now before the Allied War Council. With
Trotzky commanding an army of close to a million men, who arc
steadily improving as a military machine, and who are officered
largely by Germans, South and Central Europe easily may become
battlefields again this summer.
The Allied forcee formerly at Sal?nica still are in readiness,
but they are widely spread and too small to depend upon if the
situation grows worse. That additional forces will be sent eastward
seems certain.

PARIS, March 24.- The. differences
: between Premier Clemenceau and
. President Wilson, which continue ef?
fectually to bar the way to a quick
peace are various in nature and im?
portance.
A partial list of the matters upon
which there are wide divergencies of
opinion should enable Americans to
judge for themselves the logic and
spirit of the arguments which are be?
ing projected in Paris and their ef?
fect upon a satisfactory and enduring
peace.
FIRST. : The President refuses to ap?
prove the new armistice terms, tc
which all but the American delegation
had adhered prior to Mr. Wilson's
return from America. He is undei
stood to object to the internationaliza?
tion of the Kiel Canal; to the destruc?
tion of the Helgoland defences, and tc
the retention of German cables.
Second Issue Develops
Over Feeding (?ernian*
SECOND: The Americans desire u
leed the Germans immediately, con
tending since the Ceimans themselve;
are unable to do this Bolshevism wil
otherswise sweep the countrv. O. G
Villard is the latest arrival from Ger?
many to bring to the American dele?
gation corroboration of this assump?
tion, but. the French are willing to
take a chance with this potential
calamity and still object to any
monetary payments by Germany for
food, contending that the first settle?
ments should be those of reparation.
In this connection it is the opinion
of many independent American ob?
servers that if the President had not
come to France to fight for his "four?
teen points'' he would not have found
such opposition rallied against him.
He is now fairly definitely regarded
in responsible French circles as un?
sympathetic to the French interests,
France finding hereself in a measure
between him and the Germans.
Several of the President's agents,
having been men who professed "lib?
eral" views during the war, have not
missed the opportunity since arriving
t hero of warning the correspondents
against the French. This fact is known
to French statesmen, and it indubitably
I is established in their minds as one of
the reasons for the general American
attitude of criticism and irritation
* toward them.
THIRD: The Americans wish to pro?
vide for an early inclusion of Germany
in the league of nations, which causes
an actual revulsion of feeling in the
heart of the average Frenchman. The
French repeatedly have asked Presi?
dent Wilson to visit the devastated
areas from which factory machinery
was carried off to the German mills
and is now being operated, while the
French mills were so effectually de?
stroyed that they will be unable to re?
sume competition with Germany for
years. The Americans on the commit?
tee dealing with this matter are re?
ported to object to the return by Ger
?.v.;y of French machinery.
, '.-Yunce Opposes A<lniittin<r
Yrinany lo League
FOURTH: An important subject of
difference pivots upon the erstwhile
objections by the American delegation
to interference in Russian affairs, while
the French, Italian and several British
statesmen deem it essential, contend?
ing there can be no pence in Europe
I until a stable government is estab?
lished in Russia. It is the opinion of
ono man high in the councils of the
American representation that Russia
presents an insoluble problem and
that no Allied intervention can prevent
a natural acquisition by German or?
ganization of the wealth that in the
? future wilLcomo out of Germany's dis
! organized 'neighbor.
FIFTH: That there ii disagreement
based upon reparation is an interest?
ing point which throws a curious light
upon the diplomacy now being con?
ducted in Paris. On Christinas day,
in addressing the American troops at
Chacmont, President Wilson said he
found himself in complete accord with
the other leaders. The following week
Lloyd George gave assurances that bis
beliefs were parallel to those of Mr.
Wilson. It. was learned one week later
that they agreed not as to an entire
programme, but principally upon the
decision that Germany should be re?
quired to pay "all that she was able."
But. while they were in accord upon
this principle they were, then and evi?
dently still are at a disagreement as
to the concrete sum - that should be
forthcoming from Germany. Lloyd
George originally stated that Ger?
many's indebtedness would reach lliO
billions of dollars. While the British
experts agree with those of America
that such a sum possibly could not be
obtained the Americans still ?re fai
below the British in their estimates
and further below the French. It is
difficult fur any correspondent to gei
many details from the American dele?
gation, but it is understood that th<
, American commissioners estimate tha
: Germany can pay about twenty bil
lions, whereas the British figures an
approximately double that.
Allies Would Curl?
Germany's Exportations
SIXTH: The Allied delegates desire
to restrict Germany's exportations,
that Belgium, France, Italy and Great
Britain may be given a chance to
revive their industries, for it is feared
Germany may be able to resume her
overseas commerce more quickly than
any of the continental nations. France
has advocated severe restrictions of
German exportation, in which Great
Britain partly concurs and America
agrees hardly at all.
SEVENTH: The Americans on the
Responsibilities and Crimea Commis?
sion have contended that America,
having entered the war after the in?
vasion of Belgium, could not take part
in any punishment of the men respon?
sible for this violation. On this point
my information is hazy, but in effect
it seems substantially correct. It is
difficult to obtain entirely accurate
information about the progress of the
commissioners.
Some Prefer U. S.
Make Separate Treaty
EIGHTH: Some of the Allies would
prefer that the United States, in the
present instance, would sign a separate
peace treaty with Germany, rather than
prevent the conclusion of peace foi
months until the pact receives the rati?
fication of the United States Senate
The American delegation alone of the
great powers assembled is incomplete
ly plenipotentiary, but President Wil?
son, though formerly eager to keej
America apart from the Allies, seem:
now to intend that she shall become ?
joirtt signatory power, in order ti
throw the onus of refusing a worl<
peace upon the Senate. Because thi
President holds the purse strings am
food bags of the single great nation re
maining wealthy and well supplice
the statesmen of the other nation
cannot oppose his programme.
NINTH: The President, objects t
t'nc frontier provisions sought b
France, which are intended to rescrv
the Rhine as a barrier between Get
many and herself. The French hav
made various proposals treating wit
this proposition, the radicals strong!
backing Foch'a original desire to anne
the territory to the Rhine. But Pros
dent Wilson hns objected to the rccei
proposal of ncutralinntion for the Ge?
mini provinces west o? the Rhine.

with the purpose of joining the

A Czecho-Slovak army has been

to a Vienna dispatch. Simultan?

Allied monitors, according to ad?
vices received ;n Paris, are on
their way up the Danube from
Serbian ports to give protection
to Entente nationals at Buda?

The Russian Bolsheviki arc re?
ported to be patching up their
differences with the Ukrainians,
evidently in order to get freer
access to Hungary.
There is an unconfirmed report
from Berlin that Allied troops
have been disarmed in Budapest.
The Berlin press declares that the
events in Hungary are a "terrible
warning" for the Entente.
Although the a] news from
Hungary prompt? d the Allied pre
miers in Paris yesterday to caii ;i
hurried confer? nee, the official
statement, of the Supreme Wat
Council contained no reference to
Hungary.
Washington regards the situatioi
in Central Europe as the grave.-'
since the signing of the arm ist ici
and is inclined to see the ham
of Germany in the events ii
Hungary. The State Departmeni
was advised from Belgrad?
terday that the new Hungariai
government had ordered th" be
ginning of hostilities against th<
Entente on Friday last.
Opinion in London on {he Hun
garian situation is divided. I;
some quarters there is an ?i
tion to put the blame on the ?le
lay of the peace conference
reaching an agreement. In othe
circles the Allies an: held a
fault for tardiness in raising th
blockade.
