The District of Columbia delegation | to the eighth national convention of | the American Legion got an early start today and participated in the opening of the first Eastern conven tion in the history of the veteran or- ganization. Headed by Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chairman of the dele- gation, and the Costello Post Bugle and Drum Corps, the delegates lis. tened with interest to the opening of the convention by National Comdr. John R. McQuaig and addresses of welcome. This afternoon the delegates will attend the various convention committees to which they have been assizned. The District delegation arrived ves terday afternoon at 4 o'clock after {an uneventful trip and proceeded to the Distrlet headquarters, in the Ma- jestic Hotel, to remain until Friday, when the convention will adjourn. On | their arrival at the station they were met by thousands of legionnaires, in- cluding the advance guard from the District. The official reception com- jmittee came out to the train and ex- tended the welcome of the city in a manner never before witnessed by those who have attended former con- ventions. Attired in colonial costume, a score of dames, with a leglonnalre resembling Willlam Penn, greeted the District contingent on detraining and escorted them to waiting automobiles, which ®peeded for the hotel.

Held as Reckless, Driver Asks Judge “Please take my permit and turn it in. T do not want to drive any more,” was the unusual request made before Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Traffic Court today by Raymond P. Shope, 461 K street southwest, charged with reckless driving and failure to exhibit his permit when asked to by a policeman. Judge Hitt took the permit and sent it to the Trafic Bureau, where it will be revoked. On the.two charges he took the defendant's personal bonds. “It would be a good idea,” Judge Hitt remarked, “if many other drivers in Washington would do the same thing.” Recently a young girl made a similar plea before Judge Gus A. Schuldt, only she asked that the permit be suspended for three months. This request was com- plied with, VETERANS’ AID PUT AT $3,560,000,000 SINCE CLOSE OF WAR arousing our citizens to take part in elections. We cannot retain our lib- erties under our representative form of government if we do not keep it representative. Too much stress can- not be lald on the necessity of getting out the vote.” Reviewing the work of the Legion during the last year, the report of John R. McQuigg, national command- er, says there never has been a time when the public was so willing to co- operate in carrying out the Legion's aims and purposes. The membership is now 673,229, an increase of 79,614 over 1925, and great- er than at any time since December, 1922, The natfonal rehabilitation commit- tee handled more than 17,000 cases for veterans and their dependents last vear. These resulted-in the recover of nearly two million dollars in actual cash benefits. Referring to child welfare work the commander’s report says: “All of our efforts are bent toward a practical realization of our slogan, ‘A home for every homeless child of a veteran'.” In the last two years the Legion has raised and invested $5,000,000 as a per- manent endowment fund, the income to be devoted to the rehabilitation of disabled comrades and to the care of their orphan children. The Leglon intends to foster and perpetuate real Americanism, as it in- tends to strive for the maintenance of law and order. This is the keynote of the report by Wilder Metcalf, chair- man of the national finance commit- tee of the Legion. His report referred to “the growing disregard of law." Gov. Pinchot, welcoming the Legion to Philadelphia, on behalf of the State of Pennsylvania, urged the delegation to the Legion convention to stand up as good Americans for clean elections. The convention is being held in the vast auditorium of the Sesquicen- tennial Exposition, which was filled. A half dozen bands kept the delegates in a happy mood. ‘Wearing Apparel Stolen. Lewis Nilowich, 4604 Towa avenue, reported to the police today that a place of business at Fourteenth and Clifton streets, of which he Is man- ager, was entered by burglars before 9 o'clock vesterday morning and robbed of male and female wearing apparel and several bundles of laun- dary. The loot was valued at $920.

'The American Legion favors the use of poison gas in warfare. Ratification of the Geneva protocol forbidding the use of gas Is opposed by the Leglon on the ground of “the humanitarfanism of gas as compared to other weapons,” it was announced here last night by John Thomas Tay- lor of the organization’s legislative committee. The Leglon, “on the basls of the experiences of hundreds of thousands of its men in warfare,” declares gas to be “one of the most humane weapons and vet one of the most effective in bringing any war to a speedy end,” Taylor's statement said. Requesting the Senate to reject tne protocol, he continued: “The Legion emphasizes its disbelief in the wisdom of abandoning any effective e h- ed arm of national defense, and d clares in effect that human nature, being what it is, no country threaten- ed by invasion in war time and with loss of lts soverelgnty can be de- pended upon to keep such an agree- ment.” “Heretofore virtuall bearing on the protocol ment added, ‘“has been given by pacifist organizations, which have em- phasized the so-called ‘horror side’ of everything the state- the matter, making it appear that gas is the deadliest and n inhuman weapon of war Leglon directly contradicts pacifist assertions that gas is cruel and assert, on the cont the most humane of w g Gassing, “while the most effective casualty producer in the whole arsenal of war weapons.” the state- ment continued, “for the main part puts men out of action only tem rarily, but long eno tory for the combatar preponderance of gassing facilit This makes for shorter wars, w far less loss of life and subsequent misery, than where masses of men must be killed or permanently dis- abled before victory can be claimed by either side.” ¢ inhuman | PARIS TO GREET TUNE RITES ARE HELD.

PARIS, October 11.—“The Ameri- can Legionnaires may be assured of the most heartfelt welcome when they to Parls for their convention in or, told Hilton U. Brown of the Indianapolls News, who called on him yesterday to discuss the proposed sit of the American Legion to France next year. “What the American soldiers did for us,” added M. Sarraut, “has not been forgotten, and can never be for- gotten. The French will be glad to meet them again.” Allusion being made to reports from the United States of a feeling in France against Americans, M. Sarraut remarked: Some feeling does exist in France regarding the debts. A good many of our people think that hard terms have been made. That question is entirely apart from our affection and admira tion for the American soldier. Poli tics have nothing to do with these sentiments of ours.” Mention of alleged desecration of the tombs of American soldiers in brought a flash to M. Sar- s eye and the spirited reply: ‘Abominable fables. I cannot ac- count for them unless they are the inventions of hostile propagandists. The tombs of American soldiers in France may be visited by thousands; they will how they are respected.” Have a look at our English Plaid Wool Hose—2.50 Arthur Burt Co—1343 F Street nis MARX Jewelry Co. 701 Seventh St N.W. “A CORNER IN DIAMONDS” Shapely and Sturdy Neither quality nor comfort are sacrificed in Burt Shoes for Men.

NO Mail or Telephone Orders FRENCH WAR VETS DEMAND DEBT GUT Warn of Fight Even if It Brings Downfall of - Government. By the Associated Press. | PARIS, October 11.—The represent- atives of 400,000 French war vet- erans informed Premier Poincare yves- terday that these ex-soldiers stubborn- Iy would oppose ratification of the Washington and London debt agree- ments in their present form, even though such action might bring about the downfall of the government. M. Poincare assured them that France would undertake payments only within her capacity to pay and to a degree that would not disrupt exchange. The delegation was headed by Pres- tdent Rossignol of the Natlonal Union of Combatants, who presented a resolution adopted by the reglonal heads of the organization. This reso- lution set forth that the ex-soldies considered seven billion francs an im- possible sum to pay the United States. and thought the total should be scaled down. “‘Great Britain and America, who shared the advantages of the common victory without running ithe same risk as France,” the resolution de- clared, “should not in simple justice demand from France more than France receives from Germany. In a supplementary letter the dele- gation informed the premier that the ex-combatants ‘““had declared them- selves ready to undertake energetic actlon to prevent ratification of the accords, even {f it resulted in a minis- terial crisfs.” = Ready for Service The first frosty weather will find you ready to “coal up,” if you 8ee us at once about Replacing or Repairing your heater. fAnd both work and prices will be right if you leave the job in our hands. 2 Maurice J.
