80,000 HEROES ABOARD Destroyers Did Brilliant Work Despite Hardships of Long Viffils "Over There." Kscorted by navy airplanes, dirigibles sjid hit balloons, the American armada, moro than 100 strong, headed by the 1i 8. 3. Pennsylvania flying- the broad pennant of Admiral Henry T. Mayo, will enter the harbor nt 10 o'clock Tuesday, rnornlng and furnish tho Inhabitants of this city with tho spectacle of the greatest nrrny of war vessels ever assembled' under the American flag; excelled In tonnage and gun power only by the British battle fleet during tho great war. Uo-aldcs the Pennsylvania tho Atlantic fleet, Hfi It is officially known, comprises seven upenlreadnoughts and more than eighty destroyers, with the necessary tenders and supply vessels, the whole manned by over 30,000 seamen and marines.

Tho American gobs were disappointed becauso they did not get a chanco to test themselves and their fleet against the Hermans, and tho British are disappointed becauso the American fleet came over, for they too wished to test themselves, and tho arrival of the Americans drtcouraged any Idea that the Germans may liavo entertained prior to their arrival, ol coming Into tho open and "fighting It out." Sir David Beatty, commander In chlof of tho British Grand Fleet, said of the arrival of tho American fleet In bidding it good-by recently: "I wan sorry to see the Sixth Battle Squadron come over, becauso up until that time tho feeling In naval circles was that the chances for major action with the enemy was slight. After the nrrlval of the Sixth Battle Squadron wo felt that they wero practically nil." Dcatty'a Praise la Prised, This statement of Sir David is the only consolation that 'the sailors have for not seeing action with the enemy. Blit they prize it very much, however, for Sir David' Implies, as they Interpret It, "that It was all ofT with Germany when we came over nnd they knew it and wouldn't take' a chance." But selfi saja gobs had tho satisfaction of German fleet surrender, even If they didn't get a shot nt an' of their vessels after manning the guns constantly and patrolling for them during their entire time In European waters. The Navy Department In n. history It ha prepared of the fleet expresses tho sailors' disappointment.

"Doughboys return with decorations for gallantry In action." It says, "while the sailor steams back to his country with the sincere regret that there came no chance for action. IHn only gratification cornea from the etatement of the British Admiral, who assured the American fleet that their presence so threatened the chances of a German sea triumph that the ene-my ships were afraid to tako to the open." How necessary the American men of war were to the safety of operations Is Indicated by the ordera under which tho hlps operated. During the twelve months through which the American fleet waa in the war zone with the British grand fleet the ships were never, with one or two exceptions, given more than four hours In port. A great many times orders came calling the ships to sea again within two nnd a half hours after docking for supplier and overhauling. The expectation for Immediate notice for eteam naval expression meaning to shove off cut down all shore leave to two hours, end lucky was the man who drew that much liberty time.

Every minute of the day and night the ships were required to be ready for Immediate action with tho enemy. No matter to what point the ships were ordered war time watch was maintained from the decks and the gun crewn were by" for battle. Decks were alwaya cleared for action. Tauten on Duly Always. During the routine around the ports there was alwaya one or more squadrons of the fleet at sea on patrol or convoy duty, and' the American squadron took lis turn at these duties In regular rotation with all the squadrons of tho fleet.

Even more difficult were the duties of the destroyers. These smaller ships were kept constantly on the go, answering calls of distress front hips Imperilled at sea, bringing In the scores nf American transports, darting In and out off the Irish coast In March of submarines whose activities real and Imagined were being reported con-i-tantly to the naval bases. After a hard trip through one it the winter storms on convoy duty these destrovers were expected to repair to one of the English ports for overhauling. Seldom this work finished. howeer, before a call for help would come from one of the I'-boat Infested area.

The destroyer which succeeded In coaling up and washing down the decks before another order to put out to iwa reached It was considered lucky, so great was the demand for the midget ships v.hlch baffled the submarines. Sallora aboard these smaller craft had to put up with suffering and Inconveniences which were undreamed aboard the header men o' war. The waves which came with the storms off Ireland would tojs the tiny ships about at will, and themen on constant Match aboard were forced, always to lash themselves to their decks. Heavy woollen underwear, wind and rain proof trotiten and Jackets and heavy rubber or leather sea hoots was the prescribed uniform for destroyer duty, Cold Soap Called Luxury. While the sailors aboard the big ships were sitting down to hot "chow" In the comfortable mess "gpbs" doing duty with the chasers would snatch a cold bit of meat from can, drink a cup of cold coffee, which had been boiled before the ship set call, and call It a good meal.

Cold soup also In cans-was a luxury allowed every now nnd then. No man aboard the destroyers was al-lowed to leep moro tan.four hours at a Mratch.

ARCHITECTS DRAWlNGSFi'fc 42HD WHERE THE one thought of changing clothes until tho ships put In at port. Yet.

while the work of these men was thre hardest In the navy, the thrill and accomplishment was proportionately greater, too. After America's fleet retched foreign waters for action against the Germany forty submarines were sunk by the Allies. Many of these dropped as the lesult of American gunners aboard American dastroyers, and it Is the knowledge of these ruined submarines that makes up to tho sailor for the long hours, hard work and suffering. Few of the men aboard the destroy-ers which will anchor In the North River, despite their year of foreign service, have much of a knowledge of England or France, except as gained from the coastal view. Leaves were almost impossible to get because of the cry which was constantly being sent out to the destroyers nlmost as soon as they entered the harbor.

This applied to officers and men alike, and asltlo fioin those who went Inland on sick leave few of the boys ran boast an Intimate knowledge of foreign ways of living. It end for 111k llntlle. The part American ships would have played In a nujor batio had tho Hermans dared to venture out Irom hiding Is Indicated by tho place they took In tho fighting formation of tho allied grand fleet. Six of thu ships which oi returning the middle of this month served with tho British assembly of inrii-o-war. Theso are tin- New York.

Texas, Arkansas, Wyoming, Klotidu and Delaware. This luadron of six, serving under tho command of Hear Admiral Hugh Rodman, went to the nnr zone in Ao-veinber, 1917 Thoe ships were assigned In formation as thu opposite wing of tho crack Ilrltlsh equadron, composed of the Barhum, Malaya, Warspltn and Vnllent the only four battleships to get Into action In the Jutland fight. These British ships wero the ones which sailed to tho rcscuo of Sir David Beatty, com. mandlng the cruisers which originally -engaged the Qennan ships. In the silled formation the position of the Americans meant that In cam of -j.

RAMP JOINS THE GRANt? action they stood an equal chanco with tho British squadron of leading the grand fleet Into battle. This portion of Importance was assigned tho Americans becnuso of the gun power and speed 21 to 22 knots an hour. Tho I'onnsylvanla waa the flagship of the fleet during the contlnuanco of tho war. It flew tho flag of Admiral Mayo, but did not operate In the war zone. This was the battleship which accompanied the U.

ft. S. Ucorse Washington to Brest as escort wlin President Wilton made his first trip abroaJ, (iiiHrd for Trnnaporta, Tho Utah, Delaware, Florida, Nw York, Texas. Arkansas, Wyoming, Nevada and Oklahoma operated In the war zone throughout hostilities. These ships were running about 300 miles out from the mainland to pick up tho American guarding them Into the harbors.

The Arlrona arrived In tho war zone Just after tho signing of the armistice, These ships all wero present at the surrender of the German high seas fleet, forming the American representation on that occasion. It was these ships which wero constantly on tho watch for slgnB of the Gorman fleet, previous to the armistice, having Intentions of running the blockade. During the days before the end of the war, when reports were reaching this country that the German fleet had been ordered to make a dash for liberty, these ships were constantly waiting with guns ready and crews always on deck for any Indication of the Hun battlo squadrons. While less distinguished In appearance than some of the other ships, the 1'ralrle has a record behind brr of which she may be proud. During the early days of the war tho I'ralrie acted as an escurt vessel In charge of the submarine chaser convoys pioceedlng to the war zone.

According to report, the hlp did very creditable work In this spheio of action. After this the Prairie was assigned to the war zone In 1918, where ho' acted a destroyer tender and repair ship. The Columbia li one of the ships which i-r'r-n nu 34th Street. STREET IMPROVEMENT. CENTRAL were almost constantly at sen.

Her work throughout the period of the war was accompanying cargo eonvos fiom New jork until met by tho iscort from tho other side, generally In the -vicinity of the Irish coast. Theso duties with the cruiser force kept tho Columbia under monotonous and dangerous conditions all the time. Practically all of tho destroyers did the samo duty. When not hunting for Hubmarlnes or picking up tho mens of punctured merchantmen, these boats were bringing In the transports. SK of them would go to sea at the samo time, meotlng the Incoming boats about 300 miles from port, Tho six destroyers would thon form In a.

V-shaped manner ud proceed in front of the transports. Alwaya In this dangeious area it was necessary to throw up a smoko screen to hldo the vessels from any periscopes which might have been prowling around the surface. Orders forbade the ships following a straight course, and they would zigzag their way Into port. When tho transports were the converted merchantmen of the liafcsengcr lines the destroyers wero always running nt full speed -ahead taxing thu boilers nnd tho men who kept the boilers going.

Officials and Civic Bodies to Parade Fast Grand Central In Celebration. The lonr planned elimination of obstacles which had reduced Park avenue to minor roadway in ths north and south traffic of tho city. Instead of one of Ua four most Important thoroughfares, will be accomplished on Wednesday when at noon the Forty-second street viaduct and ths Thirty-fourth street ramp will bo opened to tho public. There will then be a new straight run for automobiles through the heart of tho city from Astor place to tho Harlem River. Park avenuo has been cut In two by tho Grand Central Terminal since the old station of tho New York Central was built In 1869.

The corner of Forty-seoond street and Park avenue was then almost out In tho woods, Instead of being as now one of the great focal centres. No one anticipated at that time that the depot was splitting what was destined to ia one of the city's busiest north and south thoroughfares, for such It will be by diverting much of tho traf fic that now clogs Fifth and Madison avenues. Indeed, It has been estimated that 50 per cent, of tho traffic on those two arteries of travel will now move over to Tark avenue because of the elimination of congestion nt Thirty-fourth street and Forty-second street by the new route. Not long after the Grand Central Terminal was built projects wero started for Improving Park and Fourth avenues. Streets were opened and closed and relocated, but all attempta to Improve trafllo conditions were nullified (because of the apparently Insurmountable obsta cle of the tunnel wall at Thirty-fourth street and the depot at I-orty-second street.

In the last fifteen years the trouble became acute, nnd property owners, city officials and transportation men fought bitterly, each from his own point of view, the various suggestions for relieving tha condition. The final plan, that which is now to be put In operation. Is Toatly the result of compromise, and Is believed to be the best possible solution of tho problem. Work Fashed to Completion. The actual work of construction, or reconstruction as It might be termed, has taken fifteen months, and to Borough President Dowllng Is given a large share of tho credit for pushing the work to a quick conclusion.

It has cost tho clly $1,220,932. the New York Central Railroad $1,131,130, nnd the New York Railways Company $130,000. Thf viaduct nnd the ramp will be opened by a parado in which city officials, property owners and various business and civic associations will take part. They will ride In automobiles, preceded 3y a band, from Thirty-second street, whero the ramp begins, through Park avenue nnd over the viaduct, and around the elevated concourse on the west side of the Grand Central. The part of the new roadway which strikes th casual eye most forcibly is.

of course, the viaduct at Forty-second street. Utility has been combined In a city structure here with unusual grace and architectural beauty. Tho new viaduct, with Its long arches and curving outlines. doe anything but detract from the architectural value which surround It. There was a tremendous outcry hen the subject was first broached, beoTiuso hotel men and others who owned property there said it would greatly Impair their holdings.

But as It now standR, It at one and the same time solves a serious problem of transportation and Is good to look upon. The first suggestion for the viaduct. which Tuns from Fortieth street to the elevated concourse about tho Grand Central Station, was for open arches of structural steel, but they now stand as solid girders, covered with masonry, giving an Impression of great strength. They conform to the architecture of the station, with which they aro more closely associated than with any of the surrounding buildings. Ends Bitter Control rrlo.

The practical value of tho viaduct. however, depends altogether on the un impressive tamp lower down the avenue at Thirty-fourth street, and It was about this Improvement that most of the con filet of opinions raged. It was a haid nut to crack, for every person Interested in It had different ideas as to whit should be done. Many of the property owners wanted tho corner left alone. The first suggestions which led to the prenent plan were made when George MoAneny was Borough President.

It was propowd to lower the grade of Thirty-fourth street so that that street and Park avenuo might cross at grade. Property owners and the street railway officers protested this hotly. Proposals to do away with tho forty-foot parkwny in tho contro of Park avenue also were the subject of violent protest. Hotel men said the viaduct further uptown would tuln their business. Finally William Barclay Parsons offered the ramp at Thirty-fourth street as a solution of the difficulty, and It was decided to adopt this as the best way out of the difficulty.

It also was found that by taking down the walls that fringed tho tunnel at Forty-flr6t street and raising the street car tracks there a few-feet It would bo possible to run Forty-first street across tho avenuo nnd eliminate a b.irrler that had existed tor years. Thowi are the main features of the plan which Is now- completed. Knaler for Pedestrians Also. Pedestrians who foimerly had to ell nib up and down the long flight of stairs at Thirty-fourth street, will liavo a fifteen foot sidewalk that connects Fourth avenue with Park acnue, Tho roadway is twenty-flvo feet wide. The ramp has a grndo of 3.6 per cent, nnd also provides for opening Thirty-third street at grade as a thoroughfare by the elimination of tho barrier that had existed for fifty Hears in the shape of a retaining wall at the beginning of the street car tunnel.

To open Thirty-third street It whs necebsary to raise the grade of both the nveiiue nnd street at that point about six and one-half feet. This lias resulted in Increasing the grado of the tunnel cut for the Fourth avenue cars at the point between Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth streets about 7 lor cent. In th reconstruction walk the west vehicular roadway of Fourth nvenue has been widened thrco feet, making the width for south bound traffic thirty-four feet, so that where In the. past there had been thlrty-ono feet for vehicles moving In both directions there Is now twenty-four feet for north bound and thirty-four for south bound trafllc The viaduct has been under construc tion since soon aftor 'Mr. Dowllng took office.

It looked nt ouo ttmo It the war embargo on steel would hold tip the work, but Mr. Dowllng went to Washington and succeeded in convincing officials there that the Improvement Was a war time necessity because of the relief It would glvo to traffic conges tion The width of this roadway is thirty-six feet, and the width of the roadway on the south wide. of tho Grand Central Is forty-five feet, while that on the west sldo, really an upper story of Vanderbtlt avenue, is thlrty-fivo feet Use of Depevr Plnce Sought. There Is another roadway on tho cast side of tho Terminal building, which is from forty to sixty feet high, nnd It would naturally bo a continuation of tho viaduct on that side for northbound so that both north and south bound trafllo would not liavo to make tho turns together on the west sldo of tho building. This eastern roadway, how ever.

Is private property owned by the railroad, which In 1009 paid tho city $900,000 for tho uso or It, or Dcpow place, over which It runs. Borough President Dowllng Is now trying to make an arrangement with tho railroad oy which that thoroughfare can be used for northbound traffic. It has been suggested since the Park avenue Improvement has nssumed concrete form that tho avenuo between Fortieth and Forty-sixth streets bo used only for southbound trafllc. This Idea was suggested by tho traffic committee appointed by Mayor Hylan, nnd Mr. Dowllng Is now protesting against its being carried Into effect, as he believes the full value of Park avenuo can bo realized only as a two-way highway along Its entire length.

Ho believes that until the railroad grants tha uso of the roadway over Depew placo trafllo can bo rafeguarded at tho turns around the Terminal by stanchions and traffic policemen at the ends of tho eastern roadway. An examination of tho traffic figures on Fifth avenue gives a good Idea of what a relief tho new route will bo to north and south travel. Counts mnde recently at Forty-eighth street and Fifth avenuo showed that the averago trafllc for a ten hour day between 8 A. M. and P.

M. Is MOO vehicles In each direction. At Thirty-fourth street tho traffic In the same hours Is 0.500 vehicles. The trafllo In Madison avenue nt tho samo Intersections Is about 60 per cent, less than that on Fifth avenue. It Is estimated that at least half the trafllc on these two avenues will go now to Park avenue.

More vehicles can uso the new route than travel now on cither Fifth or Madison avenues. BILL- SMITH VETOED IS OFFERED ANEW Provides $75,000 for Land to Enlarge Teachers College in Albany. Spmat tiepatci to Tiik sc. Ai.BA.Nr, April 12. Henry M.

WILSEY TELLS PLAN FOR NEW SCHOOLS Sny Sixteen Buildings and 12 Additions Aro Slated for This Year.

TOTAL COST $8,250,000 High Trices Delay Start of "Work Undisturbed by Craig's Public Threat. The challenge of Comptroller Craig that "unless the Board of Kducatlon does something In the way of school building something will happen to the Board of Education," which was Issued at a meeting of taxpayers Interested In getting a new high school for Washington Heights has not gone unnoticed. Frank D. Wllsey, a Commissioner for Manhattan, who la In charge of the building programme, said he was not disturbed by Mr. Craig's threat.

He said yesterday that the board has been working out its schedule of buildings and that Iho only factor that Is hampering rapid construction Is tho high cost of materials and the state of tho labor market. Ho said that sixteen new buildings and twelve additions aro planned for the current year. Sites are being acquired for new Julia Rlchman and Washington Heights high schools. In addition there will be put up a training school for teachers. Tho total expenditures will be $8,250,000.

During tho war tho new board took up the problem of relieving the congested conditions In the schools, which the part time plan of Dr. Ettlnger had only partially solved.

As soon as the Government raised the ban on public building operations, steps wero taken promptly to let contracts, Mr. Wllsey etatcd, and now the programme will be pushed as rapidly as tho building market will absorb the contracts. To date the following buildings have been bid on: P. S. 57.
