O'Ryan, who has been mustered out of the service of the army as commander of the Twenty-seventh Division, belloves tho greatest influenco for stability and constructive effort In America to-day Is tho returning army of cltlxen soldiery; I In a farewell statement to the officers 1 and men of tho division yesterday Gen. O'ltyan urged that the soldiers bo or- 1 ganlzed as a stabilizing' nnd construct tlve- force and declared that such an i organization would forever eliminate the possibility of the United States going unuer tne domination or a military class.

The General's statement follows: "The Federal lawf and Its intern reta- tlon by the Federal authorities appear I to nave resulted In the legal disinte gration of the Twenty-seventh Division. We read In the- press that Its numerical designation, with all that It implies. Is to be given to sqme other forco which the War Department plans to create Similar action probably awaits other National Army and Guard Divisions. believe- the officers and men of the Twonty-eeventh Division will reorganize their division under, tho authority of the Governor nnd tho laws of' tho State. I believe they- will do that as speedily as possible, and I believe that such action Is needed In the public Interest.

There nre two reasons fcr this view which transcend In Importance all others. "In the first place the officers and men of the division, whether- they were formerly of the National Guard, Reserve Corps or the National Army, are among the best and most dependable citizens we have to aid In the solution of very pressing problems. The peoplo saw them on tho streets of the city and In the parade. They are fearless and highly disciplined. Cannot Be Stampeded.

"They can no more be stampeded by the false teachings of professional agitators or by the selfishly ambit 'ous than they were by force of arms In battle They represent all classes and' vocations, ages, creeds, political faiths and localities tn the Stnte, but they are one in their faith In their country and the ultimate sufficiency of Its Institutions. They have travelled In Europe, but not as the tourist travels. "It may be said that they lived there, for they lived among tho people of Bel-glum, of Britain and of France. They know something of their problems as those peoples have explained them. They' havo met and observed Colonials of Great Britain, tho Russians, "Portuguese.

Germans, Chinese and. even -tho Indian troops. With many of them they havo oxchanged views In tho Intimate and practical way of the soldier In war. These men know that national problems of grave import concern the country at this time, but as a result of all they have heard and observed abroad their faith In the ability of America to solvo these problems In orderly fashion Is stronger than ever It was before. "These men havo not only seen war they have lived and faced death In It They were of It.

They havo experienced victory. Thy have mulcted defeat. They have Lcen what men can accom plish for tho common good when they act together under constituted leadership. "They have seen tho drenarui evil which ultimately reaches all when every man Is a law unto himself. "They know that disciplined, loyal and coordinated hearts and minds are essential tor tho accomplishment of a great objective, whether it be military, civic or commercial, and with equal intensity of understanding they know that henrts and minds contaminated by prej udice, vlclousness or even Utopian Ideal- Ism will run amuck like a panic i Irlcken army if tho restraints of constituted leadership are Ignored dr cast aside.

"Tho greatest influence for stability and constructive effort In America to day Is the returning; army of citizen soldiery. Organize them as such, for they have demonstrated their worth In war and they will demonstrate In equally effective manner their worth In peace. I am conveying to the officers and men of the Twenty-seventh Division the expressed desire of the Governor of the State that they reestablish their old regiments, and I believe Ir. this Important work they will have the loyal and valuable assistance of those who hao taken up the State obligations during our absence In the Federal service. 'There Is another and more difficult mission for the citizen soldiers of Amer ica.

The history or nations Is largely a history of war war with Its trail of ruin and passion, death and sorrow war with the glory which Incites repetition. War as an Institution has had numerous perpetuating causes and not the least of these has been the influence of Yffor Physician Prei-jibei It the military class. Nothing- could be greater travesty upon truth than th saying that The soldier, least of alt. wants war becausa he Is the greatest Every part of that Is untrue. Is the life opportunity of the military class, whlio the families of the nation aro Us greatest sufferers.

While men remain human, they, will ever be Influenced by self-interest and so war will continuo to, be regarded by those who may' profit by It In a light very different fro that of the ordinary citizen. When the military class of a nation becomes, numerous and Influential that nation has begun Its drift toward war. "Ao there any who do not now appreciate that the world war was conceived, planned, developed and Anally ordered by- the great German General "Military ambition antt military power In Germany were tho sources of the war. National commercial rivalries and diplomatic were merely' agencies cultivated and stimulated by the military class to serve their ends. Would Down Militarists.

"I do not believe there Is any military group In this country knowingly planning against the Interest of tha United States. But the same could have been said of the military class of Germany prior to the commencement of this war. The criticism Is directed toward the system, any system which will give undue- prominence, strength or power to the military class In the country. The German military class recognized that even In Germany the confidence of the people must be won, must be Intellectually won over to' support their plans, so they began with the children In the school. Jointly with physical training and elementary military Instruction, they Implanted In young minds the Ideas which later turned the German people Into a nation of military paranolacs.

"I think It win bo found that the returning citizen soldiers tho men of the National Army, of tho Reserve Corps and of the Guard: Divisions are unanimous In many of their views concerning the qualities that count in battle, the efficiency of the citizen soldier In war and the principles upon which a proper military policy should be based. I think thoy will bo found to be in accord that there must not be overcentralUatlon of authority, but that tho system of training and service should be akin to that of Switzerland, with decoatraJtzstton In relation to tho appointment of officers and all other features, which. If wholly centralized might become a menace to the people. "Bishop Brent who was the chaplain general of the American Expeditionary Forces, was the first to call, attention to tho danger of transferring militarism from Prussia to America. The danger Is not ono which sUbuld be Ignored.

"As to myself I have much'to do before my Job Is completed. Aalde from the reorganization of the division on a State basis, awaiting what may bo de termined by Consress. I have much to do in relation to awards of honors to officers and nen far gallantry and exceptional service "There are Inquiries by the hundreds concerning the circumstances of the death of officers and men who weru killed.

The War Department has been conscious of the splendid publlo service the newspaper press has been rendering to the people by the prompt and accurate publication of the casualty lists from day to day, that the supreme sacrifices made bv officers and men of our forces abroad might be known to their friends and relatives at home.

"The policy of the War Department has been to Immediately notify the next of kin by telegraph of any misfortune befalling a soldier, but the re sponsibility of notification extended also to tho community and this has been accomplished through the newspaper press. To meet the duty of rapid notification the casualty lists have been telegraphed each day by the War Department to the postmasters of Chicago and San Francisco, and those Gov-1 ernment officials, together with the Government Printing Omce at Washington. have published the lists which the press associations nave lurotshed to all daily newspapers with the least possible lapse of time.
