Convention at Saratoga;
Organize and Adjourn
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., July
-7.?The unofficial Republican cqnven
tion met to-day at noon, and after
hearing Dr. David Jayno Hill, ot
Rochester, former Ambassador to Ger?
many, make the keynote speech, or?
ganized, and then adjourned until to?
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Dr.
Hill's speech dealt entirely with na?
tional issues. He attacked the Wilson
League of Nations and praised the Re?
publican Congress for standing out tot
the Lodge reservations.
The mention of Senator Harding's
name evoked the greatest applause of
the day, and reference to Governor
Coolidge called forth a liberal share
of hand claps and cheers. When Har?
ding's name was mentioned the band
added to the demonstration by playing
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Early in his speech Dr. Hill brought
his audience to its feet when in prayer?
ful tones he said:
"May the serene faith and fidelity
of President Lincoln, tho deep human
sympathy of President McKinley, the
courage and passion for righteousness
of President Roosevelt be with us in
our thoughts and our deliberations to?
day."
Roosevelt's Name Cheered
At the mention of Roosevelt's name
there was a slight murmuring which
grew into a mighty cheer when the
sentence was finished. Two years ago i
almost to a day Colonel Roosevelt had
received a tremendous ovation as he
addressed the New York State delega?
tion within twenty-four hours after he
had received the news of the death of
his son Kermit in a combat with a
squad of German flying machines.
Another portion of his speech which
received vigorous applause was:
"Therefore, let us all unite for 'Amer?
ica first'; the Constitution first; the
peace and safety of the nation first;
with all forward-looking policies, both
domestic and foreign, to follow, as the
occasion demands them; but let them
all be based on this firm foundation of
solid, continuous and united national
development."
Another paragraph which took the
fancy of the delegates was his sum?
mary of the covennnt of the League of
Nations, and especially this:
"The large question is: Shall we
subordinate the Constitution to the
covenant, or shall wo state frankly to
all the world that we will never, in the
least degree, compromise the Constitu?
tion of the United States?"
Wilson Policies Assailed
Dr. Hill devoted nearly all of his
address to criticism of the "political
internationalism of Wilson" and the
Democratic attempt to have the League
of Nations ratified without reserva?
tions.
"We meet as a great historical
political party at a time when the
American people are soon to m?ke the
most farrcfching decision since the
founding ot our government," the
chairman said. "After proving its
ability to insure our peace and happi?
ness, it is now assaulted at its very
foundations. On the one hand, we
are invited tc involve this nation in
all the quarrels of Europe and Asia;
on the other, we aro threatened with
revolutionary conspiracies at home."
The supreme issue of the hour, he
said, is to preserve the life of the
nation "now doubly endangered." It
devolves upon the Republican party
and those who will adhere to it "in
this great emergency" to "save Amer?
icanism, as a faith and as an achieve?
ment, from dissolution and disaster."
"In every great crisis," Mr. Hill de?
clared, "the Republican party has been
tho national party, and has striven to
comprehend and to serve the country
as a whole.
"When the Union was made safe the
energies of the Republican party were
bent to the task of binding it firmly
together, in order that all parts might
realize their coherence and enjoy the
advantages of their united strength.
Through its promotion, the East and
the West were bound together with
bands of steel, stretching across the
continent from ocean to ocean, travers?
ing vast plains and scaling the moun?
tain barriers, making the political
aspiration for unity an economic and
a material fact.
"To render this possible, and to
develop as a whole unutilizefd re?
sources of mine, and forest, and sheep
fold, and workshop, the party applied
Its policy of protection to American
industries, against an opposition pur?
blind to the condition of colonial de?
pendence upon Europe, to which that
opposition, if successful, would have
condemned this vast and resourceful
country.
Country Saved Prom Disaster
"Without that protection of our un?
developed Industries, instead of being
ablo to enter the Groat War as a
potent and decisive force, with mu?
nitions, and ships, and all the applian?
ces of a mechanical age, wo should not
only have been a negligible quantity,
but our own land would have been tho
prize of the invader and the chief
victim in the dispositions of peace.
? "It is disturbing to consider what
might have been our ?"ate as a people
if, in 1896, the Republican party had not
taken its stand against the adoption of
a fictitious and fraudulent dollar. And
yet. as some of us remember, so plau?
sible -/ere the sophistries employed by
the advocates of a millennium to bo
created by the free coinage of silver ?t
* fixed ratio that It took months of
popular education in the elements of
finance to save the country from over?
whelming disaster.
"The recent degeneration of our in?
stitutional life,*' he said, "never could
have occurred had it not been for our
own divisions as a party. Therefore,
let us hope, and resolve" that in this
supreme matter we shall have no divi?
sions now; for the whole meaning and
purpose of a,political pnrty arc that
amid the inevitable, and- even salu?
tary divergences of private opinion on
secondary matter? there shall bo per?
fect unity iji that which is immediate?
ly vital to the 'national interest as a
whole."
Democrats- "Befog Issue"
The Democratic party, it was charged,
in order to allure men and women
from this "standard of patriotism" is
befogging the issue by denouncing the
Republican party in general terms and
discrediting its part in a war of de?
fense, "which its leaders were the first
to foresee, the firsl to prepare for, and
foremost in supporting as volunteers,
the burdens of which they bore and
still have to bear;" by proposing new
public projects to give the "Demo?
cratic bureaucracy further employ?
ment;" and the "insolent pretense" that
the "nation's honor requires it to as?
sume the political liabilities of the
rest of the world, because President
Wilson has, 'in his own name and by
hie own proper authority,' promised
that he would accept them, if the na?
tions of the world would make him
its chief trustee.
"The first of these attempts to di?
vert the mind of the people from the
real issue, in so far as it relates to
the conduct of the war, I leave to the
4,000,000 men ? officers and soldiers and
sailors ?who put on their uniforms to
defend the rights of our country.
"The second attempt I leave to the
answer of those who are responsible
for the honorable discbarge of the na?
tional debt, Republicans and Democrats
alike, by whose toil and management
the burdens of the future must be
borne.
"But the question of the nation's
'honor'?that is a matter which con?
cerns us all. That presents a chal?
lenge which every patriotic citizen
must face.
"Let us together, then?North and
South, East and West?face the great
national duty that now confronts us.
"What is that duty? It is a duty
forced upon us by unprecedented po?
litical delinquencies and departures
from true democracy. It is a duty to
protect once more what is vital to the
life of this nation; to repel absorption
into a political system designed to sub
servo the interests of other powers by
the sacrifice of our own, and, finally, to
sustain that great compact of constitu?
tional and coordinated government
which is the very breath of life to this
nation.
Issue Made by Democrats
"We are told it is already too late,
for we have been so far committed by
our own proposals and promises that
delay and discussion have become dis?
honorable.
"I should not dream of treating this
subject?the most delicate that can be
suggested to an American mind?in the
way I am about to treat it had not the
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee in his keynote speech at
San Francisco charged the Republican
leadership in the United States Senate
with conduct of which he asserts 'no
blacker crime against civilization has
ever soiled the pages of our history';
had not the national Democratic plat?
form perverted history, denatured
documents and even deliberately al?
tered dates in the hope of supporting
such an accusation; and bad it not
been declared in a paragraph referring
to the attitude of the Republican party
regarding the covenant of the. League
of Nations negotiated at Paris by the
President of the United States: 'By
every accepted standard of interna?
tional morality the President is justi?
fied in asserting that the honor of the
country is involved in this business.'
"It is but just to say that the United
States has had no official contact with
any foreign country, except through
the President himself. If the honor of
the country has become in any way in?
volved, it is because of what the Presi?
dent has done or said."
After quoting President Wilson at j
the Paris Conference, Mr. Hill asked: ?
"Whoever authorized a promise that |
the United States would guarantee the j
European settlements on condition
that there should be formed 'a union
of will that no nation will run the
risk of attempting to resist'? Such a
mandate and .such instructions had
never been heard of in the United
States. Nothing like them ever had
been asked for by the President,
either of Congress or of the people.
They had given no manda'te and issued
no instructions. What the President
had asked for, and what was unmis?
takably denied him, was the privilege
of making such engagements as he
pleased. ? ?
"In his famous appeal to the elec?
torate, of October 25, 1918, he had said
to the people: 'If you approve of my
leadership and wish me to be your un?
embarrassed spokesman in aifairs at
homo and abroad, I earnestly beg you
will eMcpress yourselves unmistakably
to that effect by returning a Democratic
majority to both the Senate and the
House of Representatives.'
"In November the country had ex?
pressed itself unmistakably'; but it
offered no mandate to an unembar?
rassed spokesman in affairs 'at homo
and abroad.' A Republican Congress,
he had said, would divide the leader?
ship. It was thus made perfectly evi?
dent to the President that, if the
wishes of the people were to be. re?
spected, the 'choice of policy,' as he
had said, would not rest with him
alone.
Minds jof Country Disturbed
"There was In the country, and the
President well understood it, a wide?
spread conviction that he had never
at any time rightly comprehended the
international situation. His theories
were closet theories. Either he had
not known, or had not cared, when
laws against the violation of neutral
territory were disregarded, that they
were part of a solemn compact with
this covintry.
"He had attempted even to silence
our consciences on great questions of
right and wrong by imposing a per?
sonal neutrality in thought as well as
deed. He had for a long time ex?
pressed ignorance of what the war was
about. At a time when the whole
world was in commotion he had sent

Curran Urges Republicans
To Safeguard Housing Laws
Tells Platform Committee Secretary of Hylan Board
Seeks to Have Anti-Rent Profiteering Bills
Repealed; Farmers Present Planks
From a Staff Correspondent
SARATOGA SPRINGS, July 27.?
Farmers, advocates of a progressive
wolfaro program for the state and
those interested in the housing situa?
tion in New York City were heard to?
day by tho Republican platform makers.
Henry H. Curran, Borough Presi?
dent of Manhattan, submitted four
housing planks. They provide:
For the upholding of tho Lockwood
Committee's anti-rent profiteering
bills passed by tho last session of the
Legislature.
An amendment to the State Consti?
tution to permit New York City to
engage in municipal housing.
Exempting new dwelling houses from
taxation for a period of five years,
but taxing of the land.
Exempting mortgages on real estate
from the provisions of the income
tax law.
New Laws Threatened
President Currnn told the platform
makers that there were efforts being
made, chiefly by William A, Doyle, sec?
retary of Mayor llylnn's committee on
housing, to repeal the anti-rent profi?
teering bills. Tho repeal of these
measures, he said would be in the in?
terest of owners of tenements and
apartment houses.
He said that while these laws pre?
vented gouging by unscrupulous'land?
lords, the permanent solution would be
found by making the building market
attractive to investors. ' ?
The farmers, who have been agitating
for laws to help the tillers of the soil
through the heads of the various
agricultural organizations, said that
they were tired of ijague promises and
wnntcd a pledge. Thev Hubmitted
twelve planks, as follows!*
Place tho farmers in control of the
Department of Agriculture.
See that this department is admin?
istered solely: in the interests of the
farmers and states.
Seo thnt the state will do its full
part in assisting and solving tho prob?
lems concerning the distribution of
food.
Revise and recodify th? present agri?
cultural law, repealing all unneces?
sary enactments.
Take the position that it is'the func?
tion of government to maintain tho
channels of trade free and X>p?n, to
the end that it shall be legal for in?
dividuals to combine, either for? the
purchase or sale of commodities?.-,
In enacting any cold storage legis?
lation, the same shall be in accord51
with tho present proposed Federal
bill.
Urge Daylight Saving Repeal
In view of the fact that 80 per cent
of the population is within five miles
of the banks of the barge canal and
the Hudson River and since the stato
has built the waterway, it is the func?
tion of tho state to stimulate its use
especially in the movement of food.
See that the market and feeder roads
be improved to the end that food may
be transported from farms at all sea?
sons of the year.
p]nact legislation that no person
shall hunt, or fish, or trespass, on a
farm for those purposes without a
written permit from the owner or les?
see.
Frovide equal educational opportuni?
ties for the rural and city children.
Provide adequate support for agri?
cultural research and instruction.
Repeal the daylight saving law.
abroad diplomatic representatives of!
our country who cither did not know
the condition of Europe, or were afraid
to inform him, lest he would consider
that their minds were no longer going
along with his. It is no exaggeration
to say that, after all the vast sacri?
fices of the war, the mind of the coun?
try was disturbed with the thought
that the President personally intended
to control the negotiations for peace.
"I repel the accusation that 'the
honor of the country is involved in
this business' in any manner that re?
flects upon the majority of the Senate
of the United States, or unon any who,
in a temperate spirit and in the light
of knowledge, have resisted the rati?
fication of this treaty with the obli?
gations which the President has per?
sonally endeavored to impose upon the
country. If honor anywhere has been
compromised, the American people will
judge by whom and wherein."
Stand of Republicanism
The covenant of the League of
Nations, said the speaker, regarded
merely as a document, foreshadows
a regenerated worid, but its real sig?
nificance is not to be found in the
language of its text but in the reali?
ties behind them. "The large question
is, shall we subordinale the Constitu?
tion to the covenant, or shall we
state frankly to all the world that we
will never, in the least degree, com?
promise the Constitution of the United
States?
"The Senate has tried to save the
Constitution and still accept the
Treaty of Versailles by means of cer?
tain reservations. The President
would have none of them.
"What, then, in this contest, does
the Republican party stand for? It
stands for the policy of Washington,
in avoiding the vicissitudes of Euro?
pean politics; for the Doctrine of
Monroe, the meaning of which, it has
been said, 'the league is there tc
settle'; for the contention of McKin?
ley and Roosevelt that true interna?
tionalism is based on law and justice,
and not on force; all of which the
Democratic party now has thrown tc
the winds.
"The artificiality of President Wil?
son's political league is revealed bj
the fact that although it is in the
eighth month of its actual existence
as a league, it has done absolutely
nothing." The real control of Europi
is vested, not in the league, but in th<
Supreme Council of Allied powers.
"The only hope of the leagu??':
utility for peace is in a change of it:
center of gravity from a military tc
a judicial organization.
Substitute for Dr. Butler
After State Chairman Glynn callei
the convention to order he introduce?:
the Rev. Dr. Robert Carter, of Brook
lyn, who said prayer. Colonel La
fayette B. Gleason, secretary of th?
state committee, read the call issue?
by Chairman Glynn six weeks ago, set
ting forth the purposes of the conven
tion- the adoption of a platform am
the designation of a ticket.
He then read the list of delegates
and when it came to Kings Count,
Chairman Jacob A. Livingston rose am
exclaimed:
"For Mr. Campbell, in the 3d Dis
trict, please substitute Martini."
"Did you say Manhattan or a Bronx?
inquired Colonel Gleason.
"Martini, of Kings," Livingston saie
And the delegates set up a cheer fo
Martini.
The feeling against Dr. Nichola
Murray Butler, of New Yo?k, a dele
gate from the 13th New York, for hi
attack or. the supporters of Genere
! Leonard Wood, was shown when Chan
man Samuel S. Koenig announced tha
\ Dr. Butler was not present and re?
quested that James T. Grady be named
in his stead.
The delegates set up a mighty cheer
at the ment'on of Grady's name.
Friends of Dr. Butler said that he did
not feel like coming here as a dele?
gate. It was the original plan of the
Old Guard to make Dr. Butler tem?
porary chairman, so as to place him in
line for the Governorship. But the re?
sentment which followed his att- ck on
I General Wood put him out of tb ? run
nin?- . , . ?
Another substitution was that of
I Judge William D. Cunningham, of the
! Court of Claims, for a Rensselner
i County delegate. This chango was
made so that Judge Cunningham, who
comes from Ulster County, could place
! Supreme Court Justice Wesley 0. How
I nrd, of Troy, in nomination for the
; designation for Governor.
After the list of delegates had been
read the convention organized and the
[various committees were named.
Dr. Hill was nominated for tem
i porary chairman and unanimously
i elected. Colonel William C. Hayward,
! of New York, was elected permanent
chairman. Then Dr. Hill made his
speech, which took a little more than
an hour. When he finished he was
given an ovation.
Assembly Rules to Prevail
The convention adopted the rules of
the New York State Assembly.
On motion of Phillips Elting, the
Ulster County leader, the convention
received a resolution which set forth
the right of every candidate to entei
i the primaries, pointing out that the
i work of the convention is merely t
recommendation and calling for the
j recommendation of candidates for the
state ticket, the Court of Appeals anc
I the United States Senate. This ape
| all other resolutions were referred t<
'? the Committee on Resolutions, o:
I which Senator Henry S. Sage, of Al
! bany, was elected chairman.
| Democrats Pick Delegate!
I For Unofficial Conventiot
The Democratic organizations o
i Manhattan and Brooklyn began las
night and will continue to-night th
! selection of delegates to the unofficif
j Democratic State Convention whic
j opens in Saratoga next Tuesday.
Although no authoritative announce
; ment has been made, it is considere
I probable thai? a full state ticket will b
I designated at Saratoga. There is n
opposition in the organization to th
renomination of Governor Alfred 1
Smith.
Lieutenant Governor Harry Walk?
? appears to bo leading for the designi
tion for the Senatorial nomination 1
j oppose Senator Wadsworth, although i
i th i s instance opposition is likely 1
come from George R. Lunn, of Schone
j tady, whose friends are urcing him f?
j the United States Senatorship. It
j regarded as probable that he will mal
! a contest for the nomination in the Se
i tember primaries.
In Brooklyn the plan is to select tv
men and one woman from each distri
as delegates. John H. McCooey, Dem
cratic leader in Kings County, and tl
advance guard of delegates and alte
nates will leave for Saratoga Sunda
The Kings County delegation is e
pected to launch a boom for one of i
own members for State Comptroll?
The designation of a Brooklyn man f
this office is considered a strate;;
move by McCooey, because of the i
ported likelihood that the Republic
convention will designate Senat
Charles 0. Lockwood, also of Kin
County, for the office.

man, the convention prepared for per?

Whitman Opposes Designating
At a meeting to-night of tho New
York County Republican Committee
ex-Governor Charles S. Whitman mado
a spirited plea for the delegation of
123 to stand as a unit against desig?
nating, declaring that to do otherwise
would be to injure Republican chances
and at the same time violate at least
the spirit of the direct primary law.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay seconded
Mr. Whitman's protest, but the local
s?cam-roller was trotted out and, with
Em il Fuchs at tho throttle and the as?
sistance of Dr. Nicholas Murray
? Butter's representative, James T.
Grady^the opposition was flattened out.
M4ss Bel?n Varick Boswell, associate
chnirraan'^pf the committee, who is bit?
terly opposed to designations in the in?
terests of party harmony, voted with
the majority.
"Our votes,did not bind us," Miss
Boswell said. "We are free to voice
our opposition to designating on the
floor of tho convention. Many who are,
like myself, opposed_ to designating,
voted in favc : of designating."
County Chairman S/imuel S. Koenig
said there was nothing doing in the
matter of allowing Now York County
to name the candidate for State Comp?
troller. It is understood that Mr. Koe?
nig will submit the name ;of Jules S.
Bache, the banker, in case 'the leaders
are willing that New York County 3hall
have the office. The leaders* around
the state do not take to the suggestion,
and if Mr. Bache is designated he
probably will have to take his chances
in open convention in competition with
Senator Lockwood, Alvah W. Burlin
game and Deputy Comptroller James
G. Wendell.
So far Koenig has got nothing
better from the bosses he is playing
with than the Secretary Of State, ane
he wants Albert Ottinger 'designate*:
for that office.
But considerable opposition has de?
veloped to Mr. Otting?r. While he was
a member of the State Senate in- 191 ^
he introduced a bill making verba
leases, which were the rule, in ?ths
poorer residences of New York, illegal
This bill, which was signed by Gov'
ernor Whitman, was hardly on th<
statute books a month when the proii
teering landlords who had tenants unde
a verbal lease doubled and treble?
their rents and when the tenants de
dared that their leases had not expired
the landlords pointed to the Ottinge
law and the tenants had to pay or ge
out,
The Ottinger law was repealed at th
last session of the Legislature at th
request of the Joint Legislative Com
mittee on Housing.
At that time Mr. Ottinger wa
attacked by Republicans and Demo
crats alike for introducing the bill.
Those who are opposed to Ottinge
on the ticket fear that his presence o
it would lose thousands of Rep?blica
votes in greater New York alone.
In the early part of the day th
plans of the opposition to Miller di
not get far enough for a coalition o
a compromise candidate, but the anti
said this would come as soon as the
succeeded in demonstrating to th
supporters of Judge Miller that h
could not win in the convention.
The presence of Secretary Hugo i
the door of the conference room wi
not to be interpreted, his friends e:
plained, as meaning that he would g(
out of the race in favor of any on
but rather was proof that he stoc
ready at any and all times to ta'
over the situation with his broth<
Republicans.
Similarly, the Greiner and the Ode
men said that the coalition progra
did not signify that either Mr. O'Brii
or Justice Arthur S. Tompkins wi
ready to drop out of the race. M
Odell is determined to land the nom
nation for Justice Tompkins and M
Greiner is eo.ually determined to w
first place on the ticket for M
?'Brian.
Calder's Man Attends
Meyer Steinbrink attended the co
ference as the representative of Se
ator William M. Calder, whose so
ambition these days seems to be
prevent Jacob A. Livingston, the Kin
County leader, from carrying out ai
deals or combinations that w
strengthen Livingston's control of ti
Kings organization.
The battle led by Odell and Grein
to block the designation of Jud
Miller and bring about tho select.i
of a compromiso candidate was t
principal topic of discussion to-nigl
It is doubtful if an agreement i?
thrashed out before the convention is
Jailed to order to-morrow.
Mr. Greiner, after a conference with
Odell and others, said that he was
quito sure that the opposition to Judge
Miller numbered enough votes to pre?
vent his nomination.
"If the computation of our peop e is
correct, there are 519 votes, without
Albany County, ready and eager to
combine against Judge Miller, as?
serted Mr. Greiner. Mr. Odell cnn
firmcd the opinion of Mr. Greiner.
The movement to prevent the desig?
nation of Senator Wadsworth did. not
i<eem to gain great headway overnight.
The seven southern tier counties in
the Senate districts represented by
Clayton R. Lusk and Seymour Low
man at a conference late Monday night
decided to throw their votes to Judgo
Miller for Governor and Elon H.
Hooker for United States Senator, al?
though Mr. Hooker Is still in the field
for the nomination for Governor.
As a counter move to this sixteen
northern tier counties wero repre?
sented in a late conference, the object
of which was to further tne designa?
tion of Mr. Hugo, and at this con?
ference no opposition to Wadsworth
was openly manifested.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, the anti
Wadsworth woman leader, stoutly as?
serts, as she has for the last six
months, that the designation of Wads?
worth may be fraught with most seri?
ous consequences to the party as a
whole, as he is, in her judgment, sure
to be defeated if he is the candidate
next fall. Miss Hay worked among the
women all day long against the Senator.
Woodward Attacks Payne
The candidacy of George Henry
Payne for the Senatorship designation
has not made any considerable impres?
sion on the delegates. Mr. Payne
issued a statement to-day claiming the
support, of the traveling salesmen. His
boom received a blow from former Tax
Commissioner Collin H. Woodward, i
leader of, the 23d District, who left the j
Tax Board when Mr. Payne entered it. j
"Payne'B boom will not get anywhere j
with well ?informed Republicans," said \
Mr. Woodward. "It is already fairly !
well knowrt in New York that Payne's j
first important official act after being j
appointed b?y Hylan was to acquiesce
in the cutting down of the salaries of '
the only twq -Republican Deputy Tax
Commissioners in the department ?
Robert Miller, a former Assembly?
man, and perhaps the ablest tax asses?
sor in the city,, and Harry G. Wilson, a
well known young Republican associ?
ated with Charles K. Lexow, the vet?

more solid
food than

vegetables

IT CONTAINS 77% water. In prepar?
ing it for the table you cut away \W
(at least) of its original weight. What you
have left is about 10% solid food. Miiy
gives you 12% solid food. Figure out
your own comparative cost
You have alaivys thought potatoes
were cheap. Maybe they are. But
milk is cheaper. And furthermore
milk is a complete food, while potato
solids are chiefly starch.

VICTORY HALL
War Memorial and Forum
Proposed for New York City
The site selected is the block between Park and Lexington
avenues and 41st and 42nd streets, which can be easily reached
from every part of the city for a single fare. This has been
with great propriety named Pershing Square. It has two levels
of frontal access?Park avenue viaduct and the street level.
AUTHORITY TO ACQUIRE
The authority under which this property may be acquired by
condemnation proceedings, if necessary, has been expressly con?
ferred upon Victory Hall Association by the Legislature (Chapter
361, Laws of 1920).
AUDITORIUM ARENA AND AMPHITHEATRE
On the level of the Park avenue esplanade will be an amphi?
theatre into which processions may march through a great
triumphal arch. This hall will seat 5,000 people and contain an
arena for festivals, pageants and athletic games, with a running
track ten laps to the mile. The ceiling will be carefully devised
to secure the best acoustic effects. When great musicales or
conventions are held seats may be placed in the arena, increasing
the capacity to 10,000.
NAMES OF OUR HEROIC DEAD
A most impressive feature will be the inscription on the walls of the
amphitheatre in letters of bronze of the names of the many thousands
of New York city men and women who died in the military, naval or
marine service of the United States, or of any of the Allies. There v?ll
also be separately inscribed on the walls the names of the Nevj York
city mrn and women mho died intor as a result of service in any of the
auxiliary war organizations of the United States or its Allies.
AMERICAN LEGION FLOOR.
Above the auditorium will be a floor of 80,000 square feet, to
be used entirely by the American Legion, divided as its officers
may decide and given for a nominal or no rental.
HALL FOR AMERICAN LEGION.
The central part of the next floor will be a hall, appropriate
for meetings, dances and entertainments of the American Legion
and other gatherings, for which the amphitheatre would not be
required.
ROOMS FOR WAR ORGANIZATIONS
Surrounding the central? hall will be a number of rooms
assigned to those auxiliary organizations which did so much to
bring the war to a victorious conclusion. There will also be rooms
for the use of the G. A. R., Loyal Legion, Spanish War Veterans
and other similar organizations.
SHRINE OF AMERICA.
On the floor below the street level will be a lofty Memorial
Hall or Shrine, seventy feet square, hewn from the living rock.
At the east end will be a splendid statue of America, and in the
center an airar upon which will be an ever-burning fire, an inspi?
ration to the future generations to never allow the fire of Ameri?
can patriotism to become extinguished.
HALL OF ALLIES.
On this floor, west of the "Shrine of America," will be the
"Hall of the Allies," a great chamber 200 feet long, containing
statues of the commanders and leading statesmen of the alhed
nations, together with suitable trophies, flags and banners.
GYMNASIA AND RIFLE RANGES.
On the same floor will be a drill hall, fifty rifle ranges and
two gymnasia that will provide a training place for the youth
who will constitute our future American Legion.
EXHIBITION HALL ON THE STREET LEVEL.
To assist in maintaining this building and to supply _']]^____
needed public want, on the 42nd street level will be an Exhibition
Hall covering the entire block, with entrances on all sides. This
will afford space for every description of public reception and
civic gatherings, as well as for the great industrial and educa?
tional expositions that are so often held in New York. It wi.l
be divisible by movable partitions into smaller units. It is hoped
that the income so derived will materially contribute toward the
upkeep of Victory Hall.
COST OF THE BUILDING.
. It is estimated that the cost of the proposed building and the
site will be about $20,000,000. This sum the Association proposes
to raise by public subscription, wit'hout asking the city for *
dollar, and the Association believes that "New York Will See It
Through."
OBJECTS SOLELY PHILANTHROPIC.
The Association is a membership corporation, has no shares of
stock, and is not and cannot be a source of pecuniary profit to
anyone. All moneys received from the use of any part of *"e
building can, under the law under which the Association is incor?
porated, only be used to help in the payment of taxes and cost oi
maintenance.
THANKSGIVING, NOVEMBER 25, 1920.
This occurs two weeks after the second anniversary of the
signing of the Armistice, and has accordingly been selected by
the Association as the day upon which the appeal for funds wwl
begin.
VICTORY HALL ASSOCIATION,
GEORGE W. WINGATE, President.
