Baker to Ask
Pershing for
77th Convoy
Parade of New York City's
Own Depends Chiefly on
Interview To-morrow at
Camp Pontanezin, Brest
War Office Gives No Hope
General Harbord's Co-op
eration in France Is
Asked by Wanamaker
Secretary Baker will meet General
Pershing and Major General James G.
Harbord, chief of the Service of Sup
ply, to-morrow at Camp Pontanezin, in
Brest. The occasion will be a great
mili'ary review of homeward bound
troops'in honor of Mr. BakeV, but he
is expected to take up with the two
generals the proposal to send the 77th
Division home in a convoy, so that a
divisional review may be held without
derangemer.: of the War Department
scheme for rapid demobilization.
On the result of this interview de?
pends the parade of the 30,000 men
eomprising New York City's own divi?
sion. P!ar.? are going forward on the
assumption that there will be a parade
of the entire division, but this assump?
tion is based entirely upon the state
ment by Mr. Baker just before his
departure on the Leviathan last Mon?
day that he would do what he could
upon his arrival in France.
No Hope From War Office
As far as the army administration
in Waahington is concerned, it has not !
vet receded an inch from its original
attitude that no divisional review
could be promised. This position was
aga:n affinned yesterday by Adjutant
Generai P. C. Hams, who. in rep'.y to
b query from Xathaniei Phillips, presi?
dent of the League of Foreign Born
Citizens. teiegraphed as follows:
"Regret probably impracticable to
authorize 71th'Division to parade as a
division. Units of this division will be
authorized to parade shortly after ar?
rival in port."
The Mayor'a Committee, while it is
proceeding with plans for a divisional
review, ia still uncertain, though hope
ful of the outcome of Mr. Baker's con?
ference with General Pershing at
Brest. F.odman Wanamaker, chairman
'of the Mayor'a Committee, cabled to
Generai Harbord yesterday a request
for the date on which the 77th Divi?
sion will sail. and added:
"People of America's metropolis
partu-uiar'.y interested in having ar
rangemants made at embarkation point
so that all units of division will arrive
in New York simultaneously.
Asks for Cobperation
'?We want to celebrate Victory Loan
and return of our men in largest and
most -mpressive manner. We appre
ciate that with cooperation at your end
our programme can be carried out in
entirel;.."
Little doubt was expressed last
night at the ofrices of the committee in
the Hail of Recorda that Secretary
Bak' r would be succes?ful in arrar.g
departura of the division prac
tica'.ly as a ur.it. The purpose of the
eable message, it waa .stated, was to
show the officers in charge of embark
ing troops how anxious New York dity
was to have a divisional review.

26 Wounded Men
Learning New Trade
At Y. M. C. A. School
Now Doing Lathe Work, and
Will Be Taught Every
Branch of Automobile Me
chanics*, paid For by U. S.
Twenty-six soldiers wounded in the
world war are being taught every
branch of automobile mechanics in the
West Side Y. M. C. A. Automobile
Schoo, 237 West Fifty-sixth Street.
These men, Buffering from injuries
classed by the govemment as 10 per
cent wounds, have been assigned to
the Y. M. C. A. school by the Federal
Board for Vocational Training. The
work is under direction of H. Clifford
Brokaw.
One of the men working at a lathe
yesterday had suffered shrapnel wounds
in his right arm, yet ho was turuing
out skilful work.
'"This is the first time we have in
cluded actual repair instruction in our
school," said Mr. Brokaw yesterday.
"At present the men are being trained
in lathe work. Later, as soon as we
can get the toois installed, they will
be given instruction on milling and
grinding machines. The course will
turn them out finished automobile me?
chanics, ready to do any work nec.es
sary to a car.
"It is the intention of the govern?
ment and ourselves to train these men
so that their future employment will
depend upon skill and not upon sym
pathy. Then when a slack time comes
in the factory in which they are em
ployed they will not be the first to be
laid off.
"Here they do actual repair work on
our own cars and other work sent in.
At the Twenty-third Street school other
men are being trained in vulcanizing
tires. Another class is receiving train?
ing in driving automobiles."
The government pays for the instruc?
tion from the reconstruction funds ad
ministered by the Federal Board for
Vocational Training.
One of the trades being taught sold?
iers wounded in the legs is mechani
cal dentistry- This is being taught at
the Twenty-third Street Y. M. C. A.
school.
Uncle Sam Ready
To Care for Men
Disabled in War
All men who have been (iif=abled 10

to military or naval service are eri
titled to free medical attention and
compen3ation eommensurate with their

been mado by the Bureau of War Risks,
ir. liru of the fact that many men now
discharged have scemed Ignorant of
this opportunlty.
To April 1 the Bureau nf War Riak
Insurance haa mnd" more than 12,07{
award* of compensation to men dis?

Medical author ties - ? Imate thal
more than 26,000 men have been d
charged from aervice with tubercular
trouble, Less than D,000 mon ha<
availed themseves of the free traai
ment. Some of these cases resulted
from Infiuenza, pneumonia and causes
incident to trench life; but many, thi
physicians believe, were inclpient when
the men were accepted, not sufficientlj
developed, however, to appear in the
first physical examination.
Under the interpretation of the war
risk insurance act any man accepted
as physically fit for Bervice is sound
and any diaability which may have be
come apparent is assumed to be due
to causes sustained in duty. More than
$'.',000,000 was appropriated in the last
Congress for treatment of disabled
men under direction of the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance. Twenty-one hos
pitals already have been established to
care for these m'-n, and ski'ic-d medical
treatment is provided. Those who need
immediate attention should apply for
it to the T'nited States Public Health
officer in their district. Those whose
cases do not demand immediate atten?
tion should make application for
rnonthly compensation and medical at?
tention to the Bureau of War Riak In?

the temple.
<JAs Luke tells it, He had just fmished a word
or two of divine eloquence especially directed
at certain gentlemen who desire to walk in long
robes and love salutations in the marketplaces,
and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the
chief rooms at the feasts.
?JSuddenly His attention was attracted to the
penny-collection box. Both Luke and Mark
describe the box as "the treasury"; and the noun
here assumes such proportions in the mind of a
modern reader as instantly to recall a popular
institution in Washington (D. C.) or an equaily
well known sub-institution in Wall Street.
^And looking on (the words are Luke's) he
saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treas

widow casting in two brass mites.

reporters.

?JSo, too, my readers, my dear readers, have
these good Nuns of Charity given all o'f them
selves to His Service.. reserving nothing for
special friendship, asking no material reward
for the work they have done in His Name.
CfThey need neither an apologist nor a de
fender. But for the first time in the history of
their institution they do stand in need of a
pleader,?and to-day again we plead for them
that their work may go on without interruption.
<JWe welcome, indeed, the widow's two brass
mites,?but, ah! we cannot, frankly we cannot,
get along with only the widow's offering.
<I We must have with it the gifts, the generous
gifts, of men and women of means. We must
have with it the self-sacrincing gift of the wage
earner; we must have with it the heartful
mother's gift, the mother who can save from
her grocery allowance, say, a dollar or two. We
must, in a word, have the widow's mite and
prayers and the full charity of other men and
women and little children.
