The new conmnander had an easy time of it in his election, but Roches- ter's selection as the next site has a string to it. The veterans decided that the encampment can go to the New York city on condition that satisfactory raates are secured from the rafiroads, but §f in the judgment of the executive committes of the national council of administration of the Grand Army the rates are not to its liking, the commit- 1ee can select some other city to whieh reasonable rates can be obtained. Los Angeles, Denver and Springfield, I, were also after the encampment, and San Franc o invited the veterans to the Golden Gate city it 1915. When New Orleans heard of the latter invi- tation a veteran from the southern city =aid the encampment would also hear from New Orleans before 1915, the year for the cpening of the Panama canal. McElroy Withdrew as Candidate. The ealection of the commander in <hief bronght up a subject that many of the veterans hoped would not coms before them. It related to the conduct of John McElroy of Washington, D. C., who was Gilman’'s opponent for com- mander in chief. When McElroy's name was presented to the convention he promptly withdre it in an earnest speech. He declared that he had be- come a candidate on the itation of thousands of Grand ' Army men, and that he had tried to win the honor fairly, but he had become the “target of most persistent, rancorous calum- nies, falsehoods and innuendoes.” The charges made, he said, had affected his integrity in every way, and were lev- elled at him on such short notice-that he counld not make a proper defense in the brief tinie left bhefare the election. He therefore, he said, withdrew His nzme ag a candidate and asked the en- campment to investigdte the charges. Tie =aid he completely exculpated Gil- nan and his friends from any hand in e reports circulated. The Ballot. Despite his announced withdrawal, MeElror's friends rallied around him “nd insisted upon voting for him, The | Dbaliot result: Gilman 667, McElroy 216. t COLCHESTER AUTOMOEBILE STRUCK BY TROLLEY CAR.

The proposition of a dollar a day | pension for life will doubtless be shelv- | ed by the encampment. The committee Kon pensions, which made its report to |tne encampment today, decided against the proposition on the ground that it would cost the government too much. It was figured out that a dollar a day would increase the pension roll more than $100,000,000 & year, and that it | would take a half billion dollars in the next two years for pensions. The pension roll now amounts to $160,000.- 000. The report of the committee favors the McComber bill, now in congress, | removing the restriction which bars | women who were married to veferans after-June 27, 1890, and have since be- come widows from receiving pensions. The bill, however, hars women who be- come wiows within three yvears after they marry veterans. Robert E. Lee Statue.

RYAN'S PROPOSITION-- To Augment Tremendously the Offen- sive and Defensive Powers of the Twin Services—His Scheme Outlined vashington, Sept. 22.—John Barry Rlan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, the New York multimillionaire, spent today in ‘the war and navy departments and succealled in driving the officials into a_state of enthusiasm over the propo- sition to provide the army and navy with d fleet of airships that would aug- mient tremendously the offensive and defensive powers of the twin saryices. Not a Dollar of Government A in Return, The attractive feature of Mr. Ryan's proposition was its economical side. He did not ask a dollar of government money in return for the creation of a reserve of about a thousand aeroplanes that might be called xmmedxatrly into | service by the government in time of {need. What he did want was the ’monxl support of the two departments in the creation of the “aeronautical re serve,” and this was promised him by eneral Allen, chief signal officer, who i naturally looks after asronautical mat- ;te!‘s for the war department, and by Captain Fletcher, in charge of mate- rials, who discharges a similar func- tion for the navy. The idea is to have an officer de- tailed from each branch of the servica ito act with the aeronautical reserve, | 1g in an advisory capacity and to # t in the organization of the reserve on military lines. 430,000 GERMAN WORKMEN" FACE A LOCKSUT.
