Pennsylvania's hopes for n notable
reception nntl parade of the famous
Iron Division went glimmering today
when Adjutant General' Frank D. Hoary
asserted that the War Department hail
refused to entertain any demand con
cerning' n parade in this city of the
entire division of Keystone lighters.
"There will bo a parade In Philadel
phia, said the adjutant gcnernl, "hut
It will not meet the dcrannds of the
State. Briefly, the war chiefs in Wash;
ington hnvc promised to send to this
city nn lnfnntry brigade, one artillery
regiment nnd a machine, gun battalion.
These units will parotic, but when the
nonresidents of Pennsylvania arc re
moved from the ranks riot more than
0000 men will be available for parade
purposes."
Mr. Bcnry added that Pennsylvanians
in other units may parade, but that
their appearance In thelinc will depend
on conditions at Camp Dlx.
May Combine With 70lh
"We cannot depend on more) than
T,000 men," continued Mr. Beary. "If
'v.-o get more we can consider ourselves
turbinate."
Mr. lleary, when making the stnte
iiit'iit, wa's informed that the Seventy
ninth (Liberty) Division, the state's
NwtiqnabAnny, organisation, Is to be
licensed from duty In Franco tomor
i (tw According to' advices from General
Pcitdilng'to the War Department, and
pfabably will arrive before the Iron
l)jvlslbn. He , immediately announced
that It. that situation developed the Na
tional Army .men would get a great re
ception.' "It mny'Tje possible to combine the
two divisions In one grand e1 .'cbrn
tion," jiald Mr. lleary," but sSelatlvcs
of the National Army men can rest as
sured that their, hoys will get a recep
tion that Is Just ns great ns that In
tended for the Iron Division."
"flfthc other units In the Iron Divi
sion nre at Camp Dlx nnd the Pcnn
sylyanlans attached to them desire to
parade, tile War Department will make
every effort to comply with their wishes,
but no definite promise has been made
concerning that phase of the situation..
N. Y. Parade Cost V. S. $1,000,000
"In my conference with Colonel Mc
Andrcws, I was assured that Philadel
phia is not being discriminated against
and that the much heralded parade of
the Seventy-seventh Division in New
York will not take place. One thing
Is cprtaln, namely, that If Philadelphia
docs, not get a divisional parade no
other city will."
The adjutant gcnejal said that the
wan chiefs informed him the parade of
the JJew York division a few weeks ago
cost' the government nbout $1,000,000,
nndithn't It tied up the overseas move
jnent of tropps several days. To avoid
delnvn of such character, the war chiefs
S'wlll nilliere to the rule laid down bv
General March, chief of staff, and dis
charge soldiers within forty-eight hours
lifter their arrival in cantonments in the
'ijuited States. Such n course precludes
the possibility of having divisional
parades.
, Concerning the attitude of the state
officials toward the introduction of cas
uals in the parade, of the Iron Divi
sion. Mr. lleary said :
'Casuals Only "with Own Units
i "If only four units of the division
pnnjde the state probably will adopt
at policy of parading only those casuals
who were, attached to the parade units.

Eastern Penitentiary Has 1461
Convicts, 300 More Than
Normal Capacity
MOSTLY FROM THE WEST
Unemployed men from the West who
come East at the call for shipyard,
munitions nnd other workers, rapidly
are filling the Eastern Penitentiary.
The prison now hns about .10d more
than its normal number of prisoners.
'Thi was the statement today of John
W. McKenty, son of Warden McKenty,
who is parole officer nt the penitentiary.
Criminals from Delaware county and
from the "hard coal" regions of Scran
ton nnd Wilkcs-Barre exceed the num
ber who are sent to the prison from
Philadelphia. Tile crhne wave that has
visited this city is even worse in other
pnrts of Pennsylvania, according to the
reporfs received at the penitentiary.
Mr. Mclvcnty says that one of the
principal reasons for the crime wave in
the East is tho inability of men who
were engaged in war wprk, and subse
quently dismissed when the war ended,
o return to their homes. Many of these
men, he says, nre of the "unskilled
worker" clnss. They came East through
employment agencies who paid their
railroad fare. They wcro drawn here
by the offers of high wages.
"Those who hnvo, been convicted in
many cases turned criminal to get
enough money to go back West, where
they thought they might have n better
chance of finding work," said Mr. Mc
Kenty. Because of the largo number of men
from other parts of the country who
nre responsible for the crime wave in
Pennsylvania, the police nnd detectives
have difficulty in identifying crlpiinals.
Twelve hundred prisoners may be
handled comfortably in the Eastern
Penitentiary, said Mr. McKepty. There
are vnow 1407 prisoners in, the place,
which necessitates putting three men
in n single cell in some, instances. The
prison high record for prisoners at one,
time Is 1GQ0. j

mison uuimaneuvered
The real fact is that President Wil
son has been outmaneuvered, .isolated
and deceived by the clever English poll-"
ticinns nnd now threatens to remove
from Europe the one thing Europe
wants and that is America. The threat
.. y. .
j is virtually to take America home, ou
the fieorgc Washington, withdraw' from
I Ruropean affairs and avoid entangling
umuuees, pitcu tlie league of nations
Into the waste basket, tie strings to hU
money bags and go.
Tlie George Washington thus lenil-f
straight back to Washington's farewell "3
address nnd the policy of isolation.
This is the one tin eat to which Ku
ropc w ill pay attention, if Europe takes
-Mr. Wilson seriously. England wants
America on this side of the water.
France wnnts America here. Italy
wants America here.
If President Wilson can take America
back home, Europii will yield, provided
the President can make Europe think
he is in earnest nnd that tho abandon
ment of tlie league of nations and ever
lasting pence will not damn him eter
nally in America.
President Isolated
Each side Is watching and apparently
President Wilson, having made one
move in an embarrassing direction, is
forced to take a second in order to hnvs
the first regarded seriously. The Presi
dent is isolated because he has been
deserted by llloyd George in u critical
phase of peace making. He has been
outmaneuvered because the English and
French have always appeared to give
him something nnd always have taken it
back.
An illuminnting instance is the situ
ation in regard to the German blockadt . lI
as described in yesterday's dispatch. 5j
Tho ending of the German blockade
was one thing for which President Wil-f
son iougui. ins narucst. At lirat it V'li
