PENNSYLVANIANS TO MARCH To clinch the city's plan for the re ception and parade o the famous "Iron Division," -which Is scheduled to ar rive homo late next month, Adjutant General Trunk D. Bcary will confer with officials of the War Department tomorrow. The state's military chief leaves for Washington tonight, nnd will confer with General March tomoirow morn ing. "Wo have been ossured that the War Department will aid us in the 'parade plans," said J. Jardcn Gucn ther, secretary of the welcome home committee, today, "but to insure against elcvcnth-liour. difficulties Mr. llearj has decided to visit Washington nnd clinch the plans." Transport problems arc giving the Wnr Department chiefs considerable anxiety and n situation dc eloped ou Snturda; that threatened to upset Fhil nde'phiii's great leception plans. ' Problems Faced "It is merclv a question ot getting the division over at one time," cx plained Mr. Gucnthcr. "If that can be .accomplished the War Department will ho'd tlie I'eniisilvauians in the di vision for the parade, as they have promised, but if the divisional units drag across the ocean and spiead the movement ot the division over n period of two or tlnee weeks it will seriously ciipplc oui plans. Gcncrul Match has made it plain that leturnlng soldiers will not be held nt Camp Dix more than forf) -eight hours aftir their arrival from overseas. It is plain to see that if the transportation of the division is spiead over an extended period it will bo impossible to hold the men." "The 108th Field Artillery and the 100th and 110th Infantry regiments are to land at this port, and we wnnt other units placed ou big steamships so that they will arrive in New Yoik at ap proximately the sime time as our units. "General Bcary will endeavor to have that scheme adopted, and, if he is successful, there will be, no more doubt .about the parade. Such a scheme would insuf? the nriival of the divisional units about the same time, and the War De partment would have no difficulty in making arrangements for the parade." Petition From Mothers Mrs. Eugene S. Newbold announced today that more than 1S00 mothers and sisters of Philadelphia soldiers in the Iron Division had signed a petition mgiCg the debarkation of those-wen nt this port. "I shall present the petition to Senator Penrose," said Mrs. Newbold, "and he will present it to thu War Department tomorrow. There must be no change in the reception plans. Mothers of the heroes in the 103th Field Artllley and 108th and 110th Infantry regiments want their boys landed here, and their wishes must be respected." Mrs. Newbold said that she wbb working independently of tho welcome home committee. The welcome home committee assured Mrs. Newbold that the units named in her petition will land here.

INTRODUCING the Big New Easter Demonstration & Display of PERRY SPRING SUITS and SPRING TOPCOATS Showing the New Fabrics, the New Colors, the New Weaves, and the New Patterns, the New Models drafted on New Lines all the New Ideas in Men's Spring Clothes that have sprung into Being since the signing of- the Armi stice, and since both Mills and Work rooms began again to cater to civilian Needs! fr' J SPRINGTIME was never more inspiring than it is in our Store today. There's the breath of a new season and of a new era from the front doors to the dressing rooms. Almost every where your eye falls it finds an Easter freshness that six months ago could not have been fore seen. New and numerous assortments of plain solid colors that just jump up and say "We're NEW!" New blues, new browns, new grays from shimmering new Oxfords through the various transitions of gray down to an almost cream-white beauty of a gray that's kept from being too conspicuous by a sprinkling of star dust all through. Then there are new stripes of a dozen differ ent combinations among which our brand-new Victory Stripes are the newest of the new. Victory Stripes are lines of red, white and blue on brown flannels and on blue flannels, and they're already walking out so fast that we wonder shall weJbe able to keep up the supply for long? But they're coming in all the time, and we have reserves of them! I Then there are the new models the new welt seam waists and flare skirts in new single breasters and double breasters, some of them one-button sack coats, some two and some three, with outstanding soft rolling lapels, some of them with their pointed peaks touching the top of the shoulder. Then there are rope shoul ders, meaning a ridge of cloth rising out of the sleeve where it fits into the coat and new snug waist lines both high set and natural. 'And pockets slashed on the perpendicular, slashed on vertical lines, cut crescent shape; flapped, flapless, patched outside, bellowsed inside, and regulation pockets all of them showing the in fluence of our careful tailoring. New bell sleeves, new button arrangements, new cuff effects everywhere the influence of origination born since the world laid down its arms. CJ Altogether, it's a storeful of new Spring Clothes that deserves a visit from every man in the market for a change of costume on the occasion of the first Easter in some years that has found us free to celebrate and enjoy its significance. ft P Special Bargains in Spring Overcoats and Topcoats Odds and ends and broken sizes of the stocks of a few seasons past excellent opportunities to get desirable Spring Coats that we sold for $20, $25, $30, $35, $40, now at $15 $20 $25 Specials in Suits Still some good choosing among left overs and remainders at savings of $5 to $10 on regular prices!
