Dec. 27-~—More than part of the crews of the ten American dreadnoughts which were welcomed home yesterday after 18 months’ service in European wa- ters, today were enjoying shore leave, and they made the most of their long awaited opportunity. Restaurants along Broadway were thronged with the men enjoying their first meal on American shores ia months. The various war so- provided special entertain- many clubs kept open house; sightseeing trips were arranged and tickets were furnished to numer- ous thea cal performances. W the city, New Yorkers flacked to the | six miles of fighting ships riding peacefully at anchor in North river— the greatest American armada ever assembled. The dreadnoughts that arrived yesterday were but a part ot the fleet already stationed here, Per- mission to visit the ships was granted and thousands thronged aboard to- day. A number of destroyers, which also have been on overseas duty now are on the way to this port, but the ex- act time of thelr arrival has not been made kaown. Arrangements are be- ing made to give the little fighters as enthusiastic a welcome as that ac- corded to the drcadnoughts.

The reemployment registers thus estab- lished will be used so far as it is | practicable for filling positions in the Government service. 1t is expected, however, that there wiill be a surplus of eligibles on these reemployment registers, and in order that those who cannot be re. placed in the Government service may find positions in private employ, the Civil Service Commission has asked the cooperation of the Department of Labor in the work of finding suitable employment in private establiShments for dismissed war workers Who can not be further employed by the Gov- ernment. of the Civil Service of the the It is the view Commisson that the machinery Government should be used to employment ; of the city. The length of time that the finance committee of the common council can give to examine all tho expenditures of the city is inadequate for keeping a meticulous record of the city’s finances. It was urged that the employment of a financial agent | who could devote all his time to his work replace the preseat committee system. A resolution was submitted that no ! member of any board or commi or any member of the city govern-| ment shall serve on the board of | finance and taxation. Mayor Quigley thought it was advantageous to have | men on the board who were well in-! formed on city affairs. Alderman O. F. Curtis stated that the mayor should e granted the power to re- | move both elective and appointive of- ficlals. Mayor Quigley and G. B. Klett asserted that such would not be in conformity With the constitution.

The members of the com- ! mittee believed that any advances on the subject should come from the Newington selectmea. Judge J. E. Cooper said that the only way the® subject could be brought to the at-! tention of the state legisitaure was through the rePresentatives of the retary from New Haven.
