American Legion. As an evidence of appreciation for his interest in having the colors of his post represented at every national convention of the American Legion. Past Comdr. How- ard S. Fisk of George Washing- ton Post, No. 1, will be sent to + Parls, France, in September, 1927, to represent the post with the col- ors in the big parade to be held there in connec- tion with the mninth national convention of the organization. The first step in this direction was taken at the meeting of the post last Tuesday night, when Past Post and Past De- partment Comdr. E. Lester Jones con- tributed $50 to the fund to be raised for this purpose. The colors of the post have heen represented at every national convention to date and Past Comdr. Fisk expects to carry them in the parade at the eighth convention to be held in Philadelphia, October 11 to 15 next.

Fries, re cently elected national president of the Sojourners Club and who is also chief of the Chemical Warfare Sec- tion; Past Comdr. Howard S. Fisk of George Washington Post, No. 1. Comdr. Peyser is a member of Vin- cent B. Costello Post; Wood a mem- ber of the McGroarty-O'Connell Post, and Gen. Fries of the National Press Club Post. Comdr. Peyser announced that he would be a candidate for re- election, and after arriving at Poland Springs, Me., sent a telegram to his post to the effect that he had decided not to run for a second term. This was followed later the same da another telegram announcing that he had been persuaded to accept a second nomination and as a result he will be the first department commander in the history of the local orgnaization to be nominated to succeed himself. Many leglonnaires feel that there is ample timber in the local department and members of Costello Post have openly stated that they do not ap- prove of this program. As a result of the announcement of Comdr. Peyser to finally permit his name to be pre- ented to the coming convention the seven delegates will go uninstructed. Maj. Gen. Fries, although he has never held a department office. is con- sidered an executive and a good or- #anizer.

For each of these conventions the post has been awarded a silver band, showing name of city and date of convention in scribed thereon, by national head- quarters. These bands, now number- ing seven, have heen neatly fastened on the flagstaft of the colors and are highly prized by the members of the post. It is in order that the 100 per cent record may be upheld that the post desires to have the colors repre- sented next year in France that the movement to send Comdr. abroad was started. The flag is of blue silk, standard size, and® bears the inscription: *‘George Washington Post, No. 1, of the American Legion. Organized March 7, 1919. Department of the District of Columbla. The First Veterans' Post of the World War.” Past Comdr. x was the fi post and the first department adjutant of the American Legion in the United tates. Ie was appointed in each instance by Past Post and Past De- partment Comdr. E. Lester Jones, who was also the first veteran to be hon- oreed by these positions in the United tates. Both were organizers of the first unit of the American Leglon on March 7, 1919. To date Mr. Fisk has attended every meeting of his post since 1919, has been a_delegate from George Washington Post to every @epartment convention and has been either a delegate or an alternate to every National convention in the his- tory of the Legion. This record is not held by any other Legionnaire in the District department or throughout the entire organization. Af the meeting last Tuesday night the following were elected to repre- sent the post at the department con- vention to be held August 27-28, when department officers will be elected Delegates, Comdr.

Brooke, jr., was elec- ted to membership and John Bishop, a former member, reinstated. The delegates to the department convention went uninstructed so far as local affalrs were concerned, but were instructed to present the name | of Gen. John J. Pershing, a charter | member of the post, as a candidate for national commander of the Amer- an Legion. The department con-| vention will be urged to indorse Gen. Pershing and request the delegation to the national convention at Phila- delphia in October to present his name with a view to his election to the highest office in the Leglon. It is pointed out that with Gen. Pershing eading the largest veteran organizi- fon in the world on ite pilgrimage to France next year it would do much to foster and perpetuate the comradeship growing out of that conflict. in 1925.

Mr. McGahan has sent a bulletin to the various commanders in the Dis- trict stating that the department has an unusual opportunity before it and announcing that there are 2,285 paid up memberships. At the end of 1925 the department had a paid up mem- bership of 2,559 and at the end of 1924 there were 2,228. he bulletin states further: ‘here are three prizes In imme- diate view as the rewards for a mem- bership campaign.

This will be one more delegate and one more al- ternate than we had last year and will restore us to our standing in 1924. “The third prize and the most im- portant one is an increase in our al- lotment to the Paris convention. “As it now stands this department ous pos of delegates and alternates to the convengion.

EUROPEAN DOCTORS MEET Belgians and French Discuss New Treatments in Paris. PARIS, August 7 (#).—Leading physicians of France and Belgium re- cently held a week's series of confer- ences in the Grand Palais on ad- vances in medical science, while ex- perts told of ‘their discoveries in cer- tain flelds.

In suc- ceeding years these conferences have been held in various citles of Belgium, in Casablanca and in Tunis, afd for the first time in Paris, this year. Be- sides the discussion of new discoveries and treatments there was an exposi- tion of surgical instruments and ap- pliances.
