From $30 month as a doughboy to $2,000 a day! Programme fixed for Sergt. Alvin C. York by the friends who have shown him New York City, from the quiet solemnity of Grant's Tomb to the noisy subterranean arteries of Mr. Shonts’s underground railway. By A. KeHogg, member of the Ten- fhessean Society, who bas directed the entertainment of the Sergeant, placed York's services at $2,000 a day. A contract was offered to Mr. Kellogg and his associates Sunday night for one year at $52,000, sald Mr. Kellogg. This was declined. Mr. Kellogg was asked if York con- templated doing any writing after bis discharge, which may become effec- tive to-day, for the Tennesseean preacher-fighter goes to Camp Mer- ritt to-day at the conclusion of his furlough. His discharge wilt follow quickly, it is thought. “How many thousands of dollars will he get?” Mr. Kellogg retorted. “Two thousand dollars a day is his price. Last night a gentleman of- fered a year's contract at $52,000, and he was politely told it would not be considered. HAS NO PLANS; FUTURE MUST TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. The potential $2,000 a day Sergeant of U. 8. doughboys opened his en- gagoments early yesterday and re- tired late, He sat bétween two of New York's most dashing younger so- ciety women for a tour of New York City, when he was the guest—with newspaper men—of Theodore Shonts and in Mr, Shonts's private car; he even operated the car for fifty yards or so out of the Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, terminal, visited his pho- tographers, tried to get in a visit to his dentist, was guest at a stag din- ner by the committee of the Tennes- wean Society at the Waldorf and wound up the night in a box party at the Winter Garden. The Winter Garden party was a triumph for Sergt. York. He received an ovation when he entered his box, surrounded by his Tennessee friends, ‘and later was lionized by the beauties | of the company in a reception behind jthe scenes, Through it all he re- |mained the same bashful big boy he has been during all of his stay in New York. ‘There were calls for a speech from all over the house when York entered and was immediately recognized by the audience, Blushes were his only response to the cheers. Determined efforts were made to get him to go upon the stage, especially by one actor who spoke for the Salvation Army Fund and asked Sergt. York to say @ few words. He smiled, bowed, wayed his hand and refused. Finally Sergt. York was prevailed on to visit the Winter Garden company in the wings. Many a Broadway “Johnny” would have given a fortune |for the welcome he got. Beautiful chorus girls and principals crowded around him, shook his hand and begged nim to tell something of his war experiences, “How taany Germans did you kill?” was the question that came from al- | most every feminine throat. York evaded all the war questions, grinned, dlushed, allowed he was mighty proud to meet everybody and finally escaped. Among some of the other things Sergt. York did last night was to send a telegram to Senator Poindexter ac- cepting honorary membership in the Red Head Club of Spokane, Wash, He then went through eighteen hours of strenuous sightseeing and never turned a hair. The Sergeant, it may be said, takes all things quietly and with something near to perfect John Drew stage nonchalance.

A FEW OF YORK’S SENTENTIOUS UTTERANCES. Some of his one-sentence inter- views and comments are full of pith and point. For instance: On the French Girl—She is nice, but different in many, many ways from the American girl. On Horses-—English horses are big and strong, but they are slow, heavy. The American mule is fine; T got a pair that is worth more than $600. On World Christianity—The United States is the most Christianized nation in the world. I know, because I tray- eled through other nations, On New York's Subways—I've got to hand it to New York. On the Fact There Was Only One ‘Woman in the Subway Excursion—Are you the only girl along?

S. Should Show Its, Faith and That England Will Follow Lead. WASHINGTON, May -~Aban- donment of the big navy programme was recommended to the House Naval Affairs Committee to-day by] Secretary of the Navy Daniels, He said the Unted States sho show its faith in the League of Na- | tions covenant by eliminating the) programme submitted to the last Congress, Daniels said he had assumnces from Lloyd George and other Allied statesmen that they were planning to follow the lead of the United States and “that it was the wiser policy not to enter any large con- struction programme until the League of Nations meet.” | ‘The Secretary's stand to-day was a! direct reversal of his recommenda- | tions last December, | “America has only two courses,” Daniels said, “oither to build the vig- gest navy in the world or we must have the League of Nation The naval bill which passed the House but failed in the Senate filibuster, carried about $750,000,- 000, Daniels then asked for 10 dreadnaughts, six cruisers, 10 scout cruisers and 130 small craft in addition to the regular three year naval programme. He also indicated the tendency in naval construction was toward big ships. His programme would have made the American navy second to none. Daniels urged that the 1916 building | programme be pushed through. | Whether, for the completion of the present three-year programme, a composite ship combining battleship | and cruiser qualities, shall be bullt| Daniels said, may be decided to-mor | row. Daniels said the navy officers were @ unit on equipping tho first class fighting ship with twelve 16-inch guns, The present three-year programme authorizes ten capital ships—four battleships and six cruisers, Contracts for two of the battleships have been awarded and the other will be let soon, Daniels said. Four of the cruisers have ‘been contracted for and the remaining two will be built at the Philadelphia navy yard. In answer to questions of commit- teemen, Daniels said the navy plan: to eliminate all cost-plus work from its construction and do everything on a contract basis, Much information Daniels obtained from Allied naval men on importavt construction questions is expected to be presented to the committee, -Defla- ite plans for the protection of the west coast by enlarging bases and incr ing the Pacific fleet strength, are ex- pected in view of the recent coast tr of several members of the committer Additional appropriations for the de- | velopment of naval aviation, with bases around the coast wil! be asked, the Secretary has indicated, A Pacific fleet is being organized to include practically half the navy’s fighting craft, Secretary Daniels told the committee, Creation of two major fleets has been impossible in the past owing to the small size of the navy.
