Suit May Halt City Building Parade Stands Private Owners Say Plans of Hylan Would Obstruct View of Ticket Purchas? ers as Btc Pageant Passes Profiteer!n g Charge Made Shortage of Seats Admitted by Reception Committee Unless More Space Utilized A suit for injunction, with Mayor Hylan as cue of tho defendants, brought to a climax yesterday a week of wrangling between the Mayor's com? mittee of welcome and the owners of private grandstands along the route of the 77th Division parade. The private etand owners seek to prevent the city's erecting sidewalk stands to accommo? date 10,000 relatives of soldiers in front of their structures at various points between Ninety-third and 110th streets on Fifth Avenue. An order to show cause why the injunction should not be issued was served upon Daniel Ryan, of the Mayor's committee, yes? terday afternoon, and the case will be argued before Supreme Court Jus? tice Eugene Philbln to-morrow, twenty four hours before the great parade and review. The suit is the outcome of efforts made by the Mayor's committee to rent the private stands at a rate of 50 cents a seat. The cost of the stands is rep? resented as having been $1.10 a seat, but the private owners, it is asserted, demanded $2. Negotiations between the stand owners and the committee started last Monday, after the latter had discovered that the municipal grandstands would not accommodate all the relatives of the men of the 77th Division and others who had a right to expect seats. Refused to Pay High Price The attitude of the stand owners nut the committee in a quandary. It had to have seats, and rather than pay the premium over cost represented by the $2 demand the directors decided ADVERTISEMENT THESE DURABLE SOLES ff HIHBB 'After giving Ne?lin Soles a thor? ough trial, I would not go back to the soles I used to wear even though the cost were less.

TANKS IN LIBERTY LOAN PAGEANT tc build sidewalk stands at a lesser ! cost. In many instances these . side? walk stands front the private stands. The owners of the hitter contend that j the municipal stands will block their peats anil cut them off from legitimate I revenue. Officials of the committee, ) | lying to this yesterday, said that in every case the lowest tiers of scats in the private seats overlook the high? est tiers of the sidewalk stands. This contention probably will be the basis , for the committee's defence when Cor? poration Counsel William Burr argues against the issue of an injunction. Several of the private stands wore found by the Mayor's committee to have been erected for officia s an ! em? ployes of various municipal depart? ments. In the case of one stand, seat? ing 2.000, at Fifth Avenue and Ninety fourth Street, it was learned that the ; owner was Edward W. Buckley, secre I tary to Nicholas J. Hayes, Commission j er of Water Supply, Gas and Electric i ity, and that Buckley had turned over the entire 2,000 seats for the 77th par? ade to a theatre ticket agency, which was selling them at from $3 to $7 each. The plaintiffs, according to the papers served on Mr. Ryan, include two former army officers, Captain Charles E. Saleck and Lieutenant Ro? land N. Schanck. The other plaintiffs, all of whom are said to represent pri? vate stands on the west side of Fifth Avenue, between Ninety-seventh and Ninetv-eighth street, are: William J. Brohn, Malloy S. Fen- I ton, Helen Hammond, Julie Hammond, James Kelly, Daniel F. Shea, John Mendelkan and John Lambert. Fear Shortage of Seats Officials of the committee admitted that if the sidewalk stands wert < . dered removed there would be a short j age of seats. Mr. Ryan said the of? fer to the private stand owners, lim ' i ted to fifty cents a seat, was made , last Monday. Many owners said they 1 had already disposed of their seats to : ticket speculators. The rest made the counter offer of ?2. This was declined, ? it was said, because the committee feared that it would be open to criti? cism for paying more for seats than the cost of erecting stands, and it : therefore decided tu build the. side | walk seats. It was officiallv announced yesterday ? that General Alexander would became commanding officer at Camp Miils as soon as the 77th Division is mustered out of service. Bau! Chalfin, chairman of the deco? rations division of the Mayor's Com? mittee, had a conference yesterday with General Roher* Alexander, com? mander of the 77th Division". After ward he said severa! changes in parade details had been decide upon. Princi? pal among these was that instea of aving one grea gold-starred banner for the division's dead there would be ten white silk flags, starred to repre? sent the division's 2,356 dead, carried i at the head of the marching column. A palm of victory also will be carried in trie parade as far as Forty-second i Street, and it was announced that rep I resentativea of the 189 draft boards of the city would march, each carrying a wreath which will be laid with the palm in the Court of Honur. Taft to Watch Parade Seating arrangements were prac j tlcally completed yesterday, contin? gent upon the result of the injunc ! tion suit, William Howard Taft, j Charles E. Hughes, Martin Conboy and I other executives of the selective draft I service during the war, will be seated i in the reviewing stand at Eighty-sec? ond Street. Four thousand patients of the de? barkation hospital in the old Greenhut building will be seated between Sev enteeth and Twentieth Streets, 2,500 from Hospital No. 5 in the Grand Central Palace will have seats be? tween Forty-fifth and Forty-seventh !

VIII., Mount Kernmel 1*| OU NT KEMMEL, which juts from the Flanders plains like an elephant's hack, was a strong bastion in the line the Germans established in April, 1918. They had occupied it only after every defender had fallen. They had improved its defences until it seemed impregnable. Here, on August 31, 191S, the men of the 27th Division showed their mettle. Attacking at dawn with the British, the New York men swarmed up the slopes of Mount Kernmel and carried the place by storm. The men at the German machine guns fell before the at? tackers' bayonets and the guns themselves were faced about to repel counter assaults. It was the first step toward the fame O'Ryan's men were to win in that region within the month. YOU CANNOT BUY VICTORY. IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO PAY FOR IT. JEU? I?>* & Pageant Here Continued from iiukp 1 parlant moved down the avenue from J'Oth Street at exactly 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. After the customary police escort there came six big- vet? eran tanks. The machines wore the same coats of camouflage that had baf? fled German gunners as they crossed No Man's Land in the last drive against the Hindenburg lino, and the same mechanicians and gunners who rode in that hazardous trip were in their ?).?? ' s jestei day. There was little cheering, but a maximum of concentrated interest, with the appearance of six floats show? ing the development of the infantry? man from the days of '76 to the days of '19. The uniforms, muskets and an? cien side pieces of the Revolutionary soldiers were shown oti the first float. The easy stages of evolution were ? n in each succeeding group until the last, peopled with a dozen brown skinned members of the 27th Division, wearing their metal trench helmets, was shown. Then the cheering actually began Men and women shouted themselves hoarse in greeting to the youthful vet? erans. A few women tore corsage bou? quets from their frowns and threw them at the grim-visaged men upon float No. 6. Following a group of floats showing the departure of troops for training, debarkation and their advance to the front, came a realistic reproduction of an actual section of front lino trench in Flanders. Several soldiers were seen in the act of holding back the Hun with rapid rifle fire, giving first aid to injured and supporting raiders. A succeeding float showed the cost of victory in human lives - but German lives in this instance. A section of abandoned trench was reproduced just as it was found by ttie triumphant ad? vance of American soldiers. A group of bodies was shown about a trun that had exploded in the last, desperate de? fence of the enemy, while an American soldier stood on a higher spot in un? disputed possession of the field. Then came a series of marching sol? diers in formations that never before had been seen in a public exhibition here. There were two waves of bayo? net men, just as they would have formed to go over the- top. Two waves of automatic rifle men, carrying Brown? ing guns, were followed by two waves of rifle grenadiers. The latter carried the grenade throwing rifle, almost un? known o:i this side of the Atlantic, but a deadly weapon in the hands of Amer? ican soldiers. A machine gun nest, manned by a single machine gunner, whose weapon could be trained toward any point of tho compass, attracted widespread at? tention. "Hatching Death" was the con? vincing title that appeared over the none too oosey n?sr. Float., in which engineers were busily engaged at their war tasks showed every phase of Hie work that must be carried <>n up close to the front lines, usually within range of cn The very job you want may be advertised right now in the Classified Advertisements of to? day's Sunday Tribune. Why not turn to the help wanted columns and see? emy fire. Troop saddlers, farriers, re pair nun. j n oms and cooks all were se. n al their tasks. (?uns as big as city pavements can support lumbered down the avenue, drawn by the caterpillar tractors that had seen service abroad. Smaller ord? nance in advanced listening posts, in wire entanglements and in camouflaged positios such as caught and resulted in the capture of thousands of German soldiers, were reproduced as faithfully as if by photograph. Signal Work Shown Another series of floats showed every means of communication that served to carry information to and fri m isolated front line trenches. The telegraph, telephone visual, radio, pigeons and photography were shown as the ess ni ial aids of i he Cr mt line fighter. Hut the most interesting i'ea t re of th'.d series of floats was a group of German carrier pigeons which, caught while carrying messages from one Gorman line to another, yielded up valuable infjrmation to the American forces, An engine? r ci rps under Lieutenant U. II. Alton, showing the '.raking, er.c ti >n and rcinoval of barbed wire en : emoi -, was roundly applauded. : Large model wire entanglements, such as are used only before first line trenches, were shown in a stage -ci? ting of half-burned tr i r debris such as littered No Man's Land'. A vivid picture ol be overcome by raiding parties and larger forces that cross river., and . bodies of water was offered - engineers' reproduction of doub bridges, just one-half the size of s ich structures when in actual use. Rail? road material as used in warfare, gasoline locomotives and the long, slen? der boats used in the making of pon? toon bridges also were shown Hist as they were used abroad. Howitzer Called Elsie Janis Elsie Janis would have been flat? tered had she seen the giant howitzer that some soldier admirer had chris- ; toned with her name. A great 1?? mm. rifle, manned by members of the I 56th Artillery, C. A. ('., bore the ini? tials of T. R. The Elsie Janis was declared to have poured 0,000 tons of projectiles into Hun positions. The T. R. had been in actual servico on an active front for six months. Other American girls i robably saw ! evidence of the affection of their khaki clad sweethearts when the great guns that laid waste to German trenches passed down the avenue. "We'll 'em rough. Mabel," was one of tho sentences chalked on a big v.r..non. Every branch of hospital work, nursing, dental operations and re? education of wounded men was shown in the pageant. Several organizations of Red Cross nurses, who evidently ?had been selected largelj because of ? their cheerful smiles, attracted particu ' lar attention. Two Miles of Ordnance An exposition ><i the ^ali ; of i ;'i tafy training was contained in a scries of floats called "The Natto - sity." Recruits who had enlisted in the army here in New Y< ??? few weeks were shown after a few hours in. ; lie service, a?'tei a week in the service, after a month in thi -, ce, . no after o year in the s Nearlytwo miles of army ord including . .

Smoke and thermite were shown on a great float, being used in ? conjunction with an infantry attack I to drive the German gunners from j their posts. Air Service Included The work of the air service was shown by a series of floats carrving every type that could be reduced to the limitations of a city stree.t, the I aerial torpedoes that were used against I the Germans and other paraphernalia of the airmen. A great Curtis 'plane taxied a part of the way down the avenue, but did not complete the jour? ney by this means of travel because of the difficulty of keeping its engines down to the low speed required for parade purposes. Pershing's band, made up or" veter? ans who furnished music for the sol? diers abroad, was the object of the at? tention of the crowds at the lower end of Fifth Avenue. The musicians fur? nished several extra selections while the demobilization of the great parade was being carried out. Army "Belascos" Staged the Parade, But Wolf on Float Puzzled Crowd Realism, down to the minutest de? tails of stage management, character? ized the parade. From the real smoke issuing from the fireplace of the field kitchen and the barbed wire entangle? ments surrounding the listening pos' to the anaesthetizing instruments in the field hospital, the Belascos of the army had done themselves proud. Therefore, it perplexed people not a little to see the wolf looking out of the cottage window, on the float of the war risk insurance bureau. "Why should a wolf be in an Amer? ican kitchen in the first place?" de? manded one loyal housekeeper on the grandstand at 108th Street. "And in the second place, he would be eating up the stew, instead of look? ing out the window," answered her daughter. "Maybe he is the faithful hound, guarding the women until father comes marching home, only they couldn't find a stuffed hound, and thought nobody would notice the wolf," suggested the third. "And the little girl is eating her breakfast without being the least bit : cared," piped up the child, in awe? struck tones. The official programme, however, solved the problem: "The posed characters show a post? man delivering a compensation allow anee to the dependents, while the wolf is shown leaping out of the back win? dow-the message being that the gov? ernment allowance drives the wolf away." The loyal housekeeper breather a sigh of relief. "It's all rieht." she said. "They meant to have the wolf looking in the window, and they just got him hind side to."

Mmm? \s&A3Sf? nirt 0^ ^v^Sk 'iaTO I've got? I'm going my OVER THERE, somewhere in Ger? many, I've got a kid brother. He's been in the fight since the beginning and now they've made him a corporal and sent him up to our bridgehead on the Rhine. I've watched that kid grow up from a baby. I've helped him out of scrapes. I've raised the devil with him for getting fired from school and cussed him out for ducking the lawn-mower job. I've loaned him money I never expected to get back?and never did. A couple of years ago I came home one day and found the little son-of-a-gun wearing my favorite shirt. We had a family row and I made him take it off. Yesterday I had a letter from him. It was written with a pencil, over a month ago. He told me about the fellows he was with and asked about the family. He told me about the work our soldiers are doing along the Ger? man border and what a tiresome job it is now that there's no more fighting. He said he'd be home when his job is over. And then the little devil asked me if I re? membered the day I made him take off my shirt. Well? Until I got thpt letter I had a comfortable sort of a feeling that the War was over?-that I had done about all that my patriotic duty called for, that my part of the job was finished. But that letter woke me up. It made me realize that a regular American doesn't put his Patriotism on the shelf when the guns stop booming. If that kid is going to stick to his job until the whistle blows, I'm going to stick to mine. I'm going to dig in and help oversubscribe this Victory Liberty Loan. And be glad that I have the chance.
