Parade of 77th
Is Assured by
Baker in Cable
Review, Oflieially Author?
ized, Will Be Hehl Week
Ending May 7; Entire!
Division Here hy May 2 ?
More than ten thousand men of the !
7?th Division arc now at sea, home- i
ward bound. Barring accidents or bad
weather, all or most of them should
be in port next Saturday, April 20. Ry
May 2 the entire division probably will
be home, and the divisional review, au?
thorized yesterday by Secretary Baker
in a cable to the War Department from
Brest, will be held during the week
anding May 7.
The troops already embarked com- j
prise the 305th and 306th Infantry reg-j
iments and the 305th and 306th Ma- |
?hine Gun Battalions, complete; head- ;
quarters detachment of the 153d Bri- :
gade, the divisional postal unit and tho
theatrical unit.
The 305th Infantry and the two ma- \
chine gun battalions sailed yesterday
on the big liner Aquitania, according
;o a cable message received yesterday
by the 77th advance party from Major
Drew McKenna, assistant administra
live officer of the divisional staff at
Brest. The other units sailed Friday
an the Mount Vernon among the con- |
iingent of iy,000 troops of various \
iivisions embarked that day from
Pontenezen camp.
4,369 on the Mount Vernon
|
There are 145 officers and 4,224 men
in the Mount Vernon. All are to be I
discharged at Camp Upton, except- :
ing eight officers and fifty-three men i
Df the 306th Infantry, who are to go to
Camp Dix, and fifty-six officers and
1,627 men who are to be mustered out
it other camps. These were replace?
ment troops.
Genera! March, chief of the General
itaff, is due here early this week to
arrange for nrompt debarkation and i
review of the men, in accordance with
Secretary Baker's instructions. It is
the intention to entrain all replace
ment troops for their home camps im?
mediately after tho divisional review,
so that Camp Upton may not be un- '
duly congested.
Loan Director Responsible
Secretary Baker's message to the!
War Department was made public as a |
result of an inquiry by L. B. Franklin, '?
director of the war loan organization '
of the Treasury Department at Wash
ington, who asked if the 77th Division
could not bo allowed to parade as a
stimulus to tho loan campaign here.
Replying to Mr. Franklin. Assistant
Secretary of War Koppe! said:
"I am glad to be able to tell you that
Secretary Baker, since his arrival in
France, has cabled that the 77th Divi?
sion is scheduled to leave Brest be- !
tween April 17 and 22 inclusive, and
that its several units will arrive in
New York within a period of six days,
making it possible to have the division ]
parade. This is very gratifying to the !
War Department, as it will doubtless
he to the people of Now York City and [
to members of the division.
"I hone that tho parade will be a
great success, and that, incidentally, it
will prove of value to the Victory Lib?
erty Loan campaign."
The Aquitania is a fast liner, and
should outdistance tho ship which
sailed Friday. But officers of the port ;
of debarkation said that the ship prob?
ably would take eitjht days to land the :
troops as closely together as possible.
Camp Mills had been definitely |
chosen for quartering the division
prior to the divisional review.
j ChateauThierry
Hero, Wounded,
Here Penniless
Truibpeter Who Sounded
Charge for That Fight Is
Found Pedling in Order |
to Eke Out a Living |
I Donald M. Douglas was a trumpeter J
1 in the 6th Marines. It was he who on
that memorable and never to be for- j
.gotten first day of June, 1918, sounded j
the trumpet which Kent the Marines
into battle at Ch?teau Thierry. His
bugle was "never to call retreat." The
Marines, with Douglas and other trum?
peters in the lead, met the German
horde head on, and, as history has re?
corded, saved the day and the war
for the Allies. To-day Douglas is in
this city, and, although he won the ;
Croix di Guerre, he paid for it. lie
is a physical wreck and penniless.
His case, probably one of the most ;
pathetic on the records of the War :
Department, was brought to light ?
through the police and Red Cross in
investigating a note sent by a woman
living at 271 Central Park West. The
letter told of his plight and his dire
need. He has been canvassing apart
ments along Central Park West dur?
ing the last two weeks, selling coupons
for a downtown photograph gallery.
City Detectives Investigate
His story aroused tno sympathy of^
one woman, who, after purchasing, a
coupon from him for $3.50, decided to '
write to the Red Cross. The Red;;
Cross, fearing that the man might be;
an impostor, because there had been ;
reports of a number of uniformed men
abusing their service, communicated j
with the military authorities. They, in I
turn, got in touch with Detectives !
Brady and Daily, of the West Forty- ;
seventh Street station.
The detectives visited the houso ?
where Douglas was staying, at -119
West Forty-fifth Street, yesterday. '
They found him physically incapaci?
tated, with a fissure in his right thigh ;
from a shrapnel wound large enough.,
to place one's hand in. From Douglas
and from Marino recruiting offices, at -
24 East Twenty-third Street, they
learned that he was penniless and a -
wreck, trying to eke out a living at j
catch jobs while awaiting his dis-|,
charge and $247 the government owes .
him for back pay and allowances.
Douglas told Lieutenant Miller at
the marine recruiting office that he ;
had been soliciting orders along Cen- ;
tral Park West, "trying to earn a liv?
ing legitimately while awaiting my ?
discharge from the marines."
Story One of Hardship
According to the lieutenant, Doug- ;
las's story reveals how he enlisted in
the Marine Corps on April 1. 1916, and ;
went over in September, 1917; how
he was wounded at Ch?teau Thierry
when caught in a barrage; how h<
had gone through the worst kind of
hardships during the first thirteen '
days of that memorable month of
June; how he had shifted from one i
hospital to another and had finally
landed in Philadelphia from Brest on i
December 30 last. The story enlisted
the sympathy of the officers at the
recruiting station and they promised
to do all they could to expedite his
discharge and to help obtain his money
for him.
McAcloo Calls Loan
"Honor Debt" and ?
Predicts Its Victory
"1 have not the slightest doubt in
the triumphant success of the Victory
Loan. It is a debt of honor and part
of the price of victory. \ am a firm
believer in the patriotism of the Amer?
ican people, and I do not believe the
patriotism that swept the country dur?
ing the period of actual conflict and !
prepared for the mighty stroke that i
brought victory is a thing that can be ;
put on and taken off like a coat. In
my opinion it is bred in the warp and
the woof of the bone of every true !
American."
Thus former Secretary of the Treas- !
ury William G. McAdoo expressed
himself yesterday in discussing the ?
Victory Loan at the Hotel Plaza. Mr.
McAdoo, bronzed and rugged after his

"Of course," said Mr. McAdoo, "we
will have to work hard to make the
loan go, but that is to be expected, and
we are eager to lend our aid. The loan
from an investment point of view is
most attractive, and I do not see how
any one who has money can afford to
neglect the opportunity to subscribe.
The loan will succeed, and an over?
subscription may be confidently anti?
cipated."
Mr. McAdoo said that on his way
East he had made aOout twenty short
speeches. He asserted that west of
the Mississippi he found nothing but
enthusiasm for the loan. He did not
speak in the Middle West.
"What is the sentiment of the West
as far as you could observe toward the
league of nations?" Mr. McAdoo was
asked.
"There is, throughout the territory
through which I passed, an over?
whelming sentiment in favor of a
league," he replied. "There can be no
skepticism as to th? fundamental de?
sire of the American people to have
provided some organization which will
prevent future wars. As it is at pres?
ent constituted the league so far as
my observations have permitted me to
judge has the approval of the great
majority of the masses of the people. I
have talked to a number of soldiers
just back from France, and, to a man,
they are in favor of the formation of
a league."

Another parade of New York soldiers

Pershing Band
Arrives Home
For Loan Drive
Musicians Who Laid Down
Instruments to Get Into
Action Over There Are
Back to Complete Victory
Fifty-four hundred troops returned
from France yesterday on two trans?
ports arriving at this port. The Von
Stouben docked at Hoboken with 2,896
officers and men, and the W. A. Luck
enbach at Bush piers, Brooklyn, with
some 2,G00.
General Pershing's band of picked
musicians, an aggregation recruited
after the armistice for service at the
headquarters of the A. E. F., was on
the Von Steuben. It is composed of
three officers and 112 men, all of whom
were in the fighting ranks of the army
up to the time hostilities ceased.
One-third of them are drafted men
of the 77th and 79th divisions. The
band went to the Hotel Pennsylvania
as guests of its proprietor, E. M. Stat
ler, to remain over Sunday. It will
take part in the Victory Loan drive.
Captain Louis H. Fisher, jr., of Balti?
more, is in command of the band.
Brigadier General Lucien G. Berry,
of Corning, N. V., was in command of i
the troops on the Von Steuben. He
was the officer who engagera in a con-1
troversy in France with Governor
Allen of Kansas over the latter's [
charge that the 35th Division was un- i
necessarily exposed to danger at the [
front.
Thirty-fifth Obeyed Orders
General Berry made this statement
?when the Von Steuben docked:
"If Governor Allen is criticising the
actions of the 35th Division he is
criticising only Marshal Foch. As an
army officer I was there to obey orders,
and in the action at Bouguoin the di- |
vision was ordered to take certain posi?
tions. It not orly took them, but ad?
vanced sixteen kilometres beyond the
objective, against two and part of a
third divisions of the Prussian Guards.
There were three things asked of the i
American troops in that tight.
"First, they were asked to stop the
German advance. They did it. Second,
they were nsked to gain an advantage
over the Germans. They did that.
Third, they were ordered to overcome
strongly fortified German lines. That '
they accomplished, too."
Former Attorney General Thomas W. ;
Gregory and Melville E. Stone, general '
manager of The Associated Press, wore
passengers on the Von Steuben. Each .
addressed the troops on the \oyage
over. It was related that while Mr. Greg?
ory was talking to the soldiers a dough- ;
boy shouted;
"We fought for democracy and you ?
gave us Spanish influenza and prohi?
bition."
First of Rainbow Home
On the Luckenbach, among other j
troops, was the 117th Trench Mortar
Battery, the first unit of the Rainbow ;
Division to land in France, the first ]
to get into active service there and ;
the first to return to the United States. ?
It is composed mainly of Baltimore
men anel is under command of Captain
J. Woodall Green, of Dent?n, Md. The
entire personnel of the battery was
gassed November 1 in the Argonne, the j
men having removed their masks dur- [
in a lull in the fighting.

Random Impressions
In Current Exhibitions
Mr. Ossip Linde, who is exhibiting :
some of his recent pictures at the How?
ard Young gallery, shows in them
that he has made marked progress in
his art. He lias always left a pleasant
impression, but never before has he
seemed to work with such confidence,
with such sure facility, and to such
engaging ends. He paints American
landscapes, disclosing a charming touch
in the notation of luminous leafage
The "Springtime, Connecticut," offers
perhaps the best illustration of his

subjects are, curiously, tho least per?
suasive souvenirs of his travels abroad.
We say "curiously" because the sub?
ject is one which should well inspire
an artist of his temperament and meth?
od. By all odds the moat felicitous of
his European canvases, however, are
his four or live Belgian scones. The
"Canal in Bruges" and the "Afternoon
Glow," with its picturesque row of
white gabled houses, are wholly de?
lightful performances, rich in color,
winning in style and admirably com?
posed.

ST. ROSE'S FREE HOME
FOR INCURABLE CANCER;
71 Jackson St., Corlears Park, New York
HOLDING always 75 men and women nursed
by Dominican Sisters of the Congregation
of St. Rose of Lima, Peru (the first Ameri?
can saint among women, and devotedly helpful to
cancerous poor), faces the summer interval in need
of donations and begs for a supply of money for
that season. The Sisters beseech the public that
the glowing compassion which in 1912 gave thou?
sands of dollars to build the Home, opened with
elaborate ceremonies by the late Cardinal Farley,
will give aid for such bitter conditions as will pre- '
vail for expenses. The cancerous poor of St. Rose's
Home have nothing left in the world but suffering
and dependence. Maimed, feeble, avoided, tor?
mented through a prolonged waiting as by the
wanton cruelty of the Hun, and sure of a strang?
ling or a piercing death?yet of Belgic innocence.
Saved at least, from the desert of almhouses, they
turn their eyes to the friends of Christ for the medi?
cines and food they must have. Food alone in a
recent month cost this house- $900. Funds are sup?
plied only by responses to appeals and from leg?
acies mercifully given. No solicitors arc permitted.

! exhibition of old laces and cmbroider
?cs. There will be a firs' view on the
afternoon of the 2Sth, at which the
members of the Needle and Bobbin
Club will be the guests of honor. A ;
feature of the reception will be inter?
pretative classic dances by Mme. Ter?

mens will be included in the exhibi?
tion, which is to continue through the
month of May.
One of the most brilliant of the
draftsmen who have dealt with the
war, Captain Spencer Pryse, is the hero
of an exhibition of lithographs at the
Ehrich gallery. We call him a
draftsman, but the truth is that one
needs more than a technical designa?
tion properly to characterize this art?
ist. A faculty for drawing accurately
and with originality is only one of his
resources. He has style and a large,
impressive way of looking at his dra
; matic, sometimes tragic, motives. The
- source of all his merits would seem to
! be an imaginative grasp upon life.
' Some of his designs drawn before the
war are shown, hunting scenes done in
England. They are full of movement,
they abound in types vividly drawn
with a penetrating sympathy, but what
particularly impresses us ';.?? the gift
that Captain Pryse lias for welding
figures and background into a composi
! tion as new and artistic as it is life
; like. When he came to design his
; posters and other lithographs of the
war he raised his ability to a higher
power, drew more eloquently and
heightened while he simplified his pic?
torial conceptions. His "Belgium,
1914," is one of the noblest schemes
the martyrdom of that heroic country
has inspired. It has a searching
pathos. All of this artist's sorrowful
compositions have that. And with the
pathos there goes a remarkable dig?
nity, the beauty and strength of art
uplifting what is bitter in the sub?
ject. -
Two other exhibitions associated with
the war may be seen just now at the
Kennedy gallery. One of them is de?
voted to drawings and water colors by
members of the Kennel Club, an or?
ganization of artists, writers and maga?
zine men who served i:i the 27th Divi?
sion. They are clever and often amus?
ing sketches. Mr. C. C. Beall's typo?
are skilfully drawn. The humor of
Lauren Stout makes his contributions
attractive. There is good fun, too, in
the drawings by Raeburn Van Huron
The average of technique throughout
the show is not very high, but the gen?
eral atmosphere is nevertheless sc
spirited as to be very sympathetic. In
striking contrast at this gallery is the
collection of forty or fifty drawings
made for ''The Illustrated London
News" by Erederic Yilliers, the voterai:
of many campaigns. He is too sea?
soned a draftsman of the iiuld tt
bo content with mere cleverness.
He is indeed, "old-fashioned," in that
he is painstakingly litera!, keeping hit
eye always on the fact and delineating
it with map-like precision. Tin-, am
the consistent gray tone of his pic*.
ures, makes for a rather conventiona
effect, but, on the other hand, h<
achieves convincing reality. Here, w<
foil, is war as it is actually waged
with no significant detail of action
or of horror?-omitted. Inscriptions an
frequently added, within the confine
of the drawing, to make verisimilitud?
doubly sure. It is another old fash i one?
trait, but we do not regret it. On tl.i
contrary, we are grateful in his exhib?
tion for an amazingly eloquent pap.'.,
rama of action a', the front in Eranc-i
and Flanders.
Still one more artist, of the war. til
Englishman, C. R. W. Nevinson, is t
show his work in this city. Ho tail
soon for the United States, and hi
visit will conincide with a display of
his etchings and lithographs at the
Keppel gallery. Mr. Nevinson's produc?
tions have not been unknown here. He
waslrepresented in the official exhibi?
tion of paintings and drawings of the
war by British artists which was held
not long ago at the Anderson Galleries
But the forthcoming display will
doubtless expose more exhaustively the
special qualities of a draftsman who
has attacked the great subject from s
point of view of his own.
The Henry Schultheis Company, Ion?
known among art dealers downtown
has opened new galleries at Fifth Ave-'
nue and Thirty-eighth Street. The
pictures shown at this establishment
include works by George Inness J
Francis Murphy, A. H. Wyant, Bruce
Crane, C. W. Hawthorne and other
Americans. Corot and Henner are
among the foreigners represented.
The current exhibition at the Daniel
gallery is of water colors by the ad?
vanced types there familiar. One of
then, Mr. Jules Pasein, attains in
some Cuban scenes to a charm which
we have not hitherto observed in his
productions. There is a good sketch
of a crowd of figures by Mr. Stuart
Davies and Mr. Hayley Lever sends a
capital, well lit Gloucester subject. A
room is devoted exclusively to water
colors by Mr. John Marin. A few of
them, notably a beach scene contain?
ing some charming color, are fairly rn
hcrent, but in the main Mr. Marin's
effects are nebulous and only in a
vague, sensuous way attractive.
At the Knoedler gallery there is a
diverting exhibition of old naval prints,
artistically of uneven import and never
very thrilling, but always of interest
for the student of the history of ship?
ping and naval actions. These litho?
graphs and aquatints are like so many
anecdotes of the past. They include
many pieces which are to-day apposite
enough. The observer aware of what
Helgoland has meant to Germany will
be amused by the aquatint, "A View
of Helgoland From Sandy Island,"
published in 1811, Nothing could be
more harmless than the place then
was. if we are to judge from its aspect
in this print. In the upper gallery
there is a group of graceful portraits
by Miss Juliette Thompson, the best,
most suavely painted of them being
the "Mrs. Herbert Carpenter."
U. S. to Issue Stamps
For 2.75 Per Cent Brer
WASHINGTON, April 10. The Bu?
reau of Internal Revenue to-day is said
to have reversed a ruling made by
Commissioner Roper last week and be?
gun issuance of tax stamps to be af?
fixed to beer containing 2% per cent
alcohol.
The Collector ot Internal Revenue in
New York City, it is said, has been in?
structed by Commissioner Roper to
sell stumps for the near-beer pending
a decision.
Stamps heretofore had been refused
by revenue collectors, acting on in?
structions from Washington, on the
grounds that manufacture of the beer
was illegal under the one-half of 1 per
cent limit sei by Presidential procla
mal ion.
Beer containing the larger percent?
age ? .' alcohol h ; ; been placed
market in Now York and Pennsylvania.
and money to cover the cost of the
revenue stamps deposited with bank
ors. pending a decision of the Su
preme Court on the meaning of the
term "non-intoxicating." The manu?
facture of "non-intoxicating" bever
ages is legal under subsequent Presi?
dential proclamation. -
Tho decision of tho bureau of in?
ternal revenue was said to have been
based on an opinion rendered by At?
torney General' Palmer to the effect
that tendering the money by the brew
ers was equivalent to purchasing the
stamps, and the actual sale of the
stamps would not prejudice or alter
the test eases now in the cur'-, and
would nol relieve the brewers of any
r. s ponsibil ity.
As a result of to-day's development!
it was regarded lure as evident that,
although the manufacture of beer con?
taining 2% per cent alcohol will be in
no way restricted, the brewers will
be forced to stand the consequences
if the manufacture of their product
later is declared illegal.
