(Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World, Who Recently Re- turned From the Front.) It is fitting that New York City, the metropolis of the world, should! ve contributed liberally to the victory of the nations opposed to Ger- many in the greatest and most disastrous war ever fought. But New| York has done more, as a city, in furnishing more men alone, not count-| ig the money, than most of her citizens realize. Wien the Selective Draft Law was formulated the experts in the War Department figured that New York City should contribute about me-nineteenth—close to'5 per cent.—of the man power of the Nation. Che estimate was based on population returns, Secretary of War Baker gave out yesterday the figures showing the strength of our army at the close of hostilities. We had on Monday 3,764,677 men in our army, and of those 2,200,000 were on duty in France, Italy and Russia The total of men under armis included those inducted under the last selective draft. my Tok Cy hm > oh ———— vast aggregation of fighters and re bies, gives the number of men sent cient aids to fighters something like] into the service through the loval 50,000 men—more than her quota.|diaft beards. uuates of men This estimate is baged on figures | taken in or inducted since the labies / supplied by Capt.

HE Evening World's sugges- tion in an editorial yeater- day that Marshal Foch, Generalissimo of the victorious Allied forces, be invited to visit New York has met with prompt and hearty commendation on ail vides, It t@ indorsed by Governor-elect Alfred E. Smith, Gov. Whitman, Mayor Hylan and Borough Pre dent Dowling in the following statements to-day: BY GOV.-ELECT SMITH: 1 think it would be a splendid plan to invite Marshal Foch here, so that the American people may meet him face to face, Thore isn't the slightest doubt but what the distinguished visitor would be ac- corded @ feception that would long live in the memory of all participants, The Evening World's suggestion is both timely and good, BY GOV. WHITMAN: I am sure that every red- blooded American will welcome the opportunity to mett and greet Marshal Foch. That great war- rior who led democracy’s legions to overwhelming victory should be accorded a reception here commensurate with the magni-~ tude of the events over which all freemen rejoice. The Hvening World deserves the highest praise for su,gesting that America re- ceive Marshal Foch with open arms, BY MAYOR HYLAN: The Evening World's suggestion is Indeed a very happy one. It is only natural to suppose that the people of America are not only anxious to see the. great Gensral- issimo, but are equally eager to pay him the homage that be de- serves, Should Marshal Foch gome to this country, I, as Mayor of this city, will bend all my energies to make sure that New York's re- ception to him will bespeak fully our appreciation sf his immense work. BY FRANK L. DOWLING, Bor- ough President of Manhattan: We ought to invite Murshal Foch here and receive him with the open arms of true New York hospitality, There is no city on earth as able as this to set the welcome to that great soldier who directed the strategy that baffled the invaders of France and Belgium, The military leader of world's armies of democracy must be accorded his greatest welcome in the greatest democ: the sae ees racy on earth. 0.044 9--4.4-6.64 Let the memory of Foch’s visit to our shores be #0 wonderful that it will forever ring through the ages, H. OUTERBRIDGE, Former President of the Chamber of Com- merce: “I think it would be a fine idea to invite Marshal Foch here, ‘There is no doubt that every one would want to see him. “However, if the Generalissimo does come to our shores I hope the American people him to pieces in an excess of joy and enthusiasm. do not tear Jur future celebrations should be more sanc and. dignified.” WILLIAM FELLOWES MORGAN, {Ay President Merchants’ Associat: I think The Evening suggestion 1s the splen ev time Marshal Foch was se lected to head the forces, the doom of the Prussians seemed to have been sealed, great soldier who made the greatest task united Allied The good in er assigned GRANDSON OF GEN.
