FRENCH IMPRESSED BY LEGION'S STYLE Visitors Win Hearts of Pa- risians by Friendly, Unas- suming Manner. By the Associated Press, PARIS, September 21.—America’s 30,000 ambassadors of the American Legion are doing their work well and nobly. As the Legion convention, with its attendant festivities, progresses, mense effect of their instinctive and emeditated diplomacy becomes “They have made an unforgettable impression—one that nothing can ef- plain, every-day Parisiun told pondent. > first novelty of their presence is ng off, but as they establish closer and more familiar contact with the population, the excellent impres sion deepens. They are, as one Ameri- can resident of Paris put it, *just folks.” Fit Into Paris Picture. A small but significant detail which helps the French to a realization of this is the fact that the Legionnaires fiy, right into the Parisian picture. They have eschewed the pius fours, lurid pull-over sweaters and other sa tol ccentricities affected by man Anglo-Saxon tourists, which never fail to raise a smile among the Parisians. They are neatly clad in plain well fitting business suits, and but for their Legion caps are indistinguishable in the streets from the Frenchmen. The same applies in equal degree to the Legion womenfolk, whose tailored suits are just what the well dressed Parisiennes wear. The myriads of French radio users who are following the activities of the Legion from easy chairs in their homes were moved last night by an address broadcast by M ‘Willlam H. Scho- field of Peterboro, N. H., represent- ing the Gold Star Mothers of the Legion Auxiliary. Sympathy Among Mothers. “At the moment of our landing at Cherbourg,” she said, “the tears of the bereaved mothers of France mingled with those of America in an near him and killed an English Tommy by his side. One of his com- rades, who came from Tennessee, a . tall, lean, swarthy fellow, picked up a petrol tin and put it on his head as a German airplane flew low, using a machine gun. “Jt's better than nothing—as a steel hat,” he sald, laughing loudly at his little joke. “This ain't in our contract,” said one of the American engineers, but that aftérnoon he and his comrades ‘went outside their contract. They bor- rowed English rifles and joined a bat- talion of English guards, whom I saw marching up to counter attack, munching apples as they came. That bunch of American engineers, among whom were some New Yorkers, helped retake Gouzeaucourt that day and had some casualties. They were the first American troops to fight in France, and one of them told me :t was “the dog-gonedest experience I ever had and a mighty close call any- way.” Looks for Friends. Yester I looked in the faces of American Legionnaires, wondering whether by any luck I should see that man from Tennessee, whom I should certainly remember, but I mi in the crowd, if he was ther I Jooked also for one American officer with whom I had a meal o on a historic day in a cellar in Amiens when that city was deserted by all its inhabitants, after a heavy bom- bardment, and’ when the German army was not far outside. Gen. Man- gin was with us and drank a toast to the American army, represented by that young officer. When I went to America after the war I had another meal with that officer, and it was exactly the same as that in the cellar before the tide of war had turned. These old memories came surging up in my mind today, but I seemed a ghost among ghosts, and those days of war seem now far back in his- tory belonging to some other life. This thpught was in the mind of one man of the American Legion, who spoke to me in Paris. “I' cannot helieve,” he said, “that I once wore a _stecl hat and led my bunch over German trenches.

Those men from New York and their comrades from Tennessce and the Carolinas swept far beyond their objective. They went much too far for caution, and when the fog lifted they were beyond the support of our guns, 1 saw them bringing back bunches of German prisoners and their own wounded. It was their first battle, but they looked strangely unemotional and had the grim, hard look of veterans beneath their masks of white mud and chalk. The English end Australian troops cheered their walking wounded and shouted, “Well done, Yanks. 1t was all foo grim a business for #n exchange of compliments.

They had not stayed long enough to clean up behind them. Those German tunnels were still crowded with men who had not sur- rendered and who now came up with their machine guns. Between Two Fires. The Americans found themselves between two fires, but, without losing their nerve, in spite of heavy casual. ties, they held on to their forward positions until their American com- rades in reserve, with the Australians and the English, mopped up those tunnels and linked up with them. I went down those tunnels, and I sicken still at the awful sights in those dark passageways. A German gun had exploded in one of them, blowing many men to_ bits, and dead bodies lay in heaps. In little Ameri- can towns and great American cities there are men who, when they read these lines, will have in their nostrils again that terrible stench of death which came reaching out of Bellin- court, and will remember what things into those deep tunnels as their steel hats knocked against low beams over- head. But among the members of the American Legion in France I. don’t think there are many who even re- member that name of Bellincourt, which has been overshadowed by Chateau-Thierry and_other more fa- mous battlefields. Yet there were men of Tennessee and the Carolinas and New York State, fighting side by side with English Tommies from Birminghum and Leicester and Aus- tralians from Melbourne and Sydney, smashed through one of the strongestpositions in Hindenburg's mous line, which was Germany's last defense. Horror of War. ‘Who cares now?

In spite of a heroic courage on all sides, [ that war remains a horror in the his: tory of civilizatior Fortunately, the pirit of the Amer- ican Legion in France seems to bring this message.

All agree that a very small percent- age of the 30,000 or so American vet- erans now. in France have visited the famous night life district. There were only four buddies in the “Rat Mort” at 1 o'clock this morning, and they seemed more interested in dancing than in drinking.

Legion repre- sentatives sit with the judges, and the fines have not been hard on the dough- boys’ pocketbooks. The Legion is well supplied with flags, but there is one banner that it will rest among its most cherished treasures. It is a French tricolor, espe- cially made for the Legion and pre- sented to it by the Association of Holders of the French Croix de Guerre. The presentation was made by Ad- miral Guepratte, the association’s president. On the flag is inscribed: ‘“Association des Croix de Guerre, a la Legion Americaine. As an offset to this, Marshal ¥och has received an American gift.

Legionnaire Burton is being kidded by others of the Iowa delegation be- cause he failed to correct M. Dou- mergue when the French president re- marked that he understood that Iowa was a great wheat-producing nrea. Burton should have replied, they in- sist, that Towa is “the greatest corn State in the Union.” Exuberation gave way to deeper feelings when a party of Legionnaires reached Verdun on a piigrimage. ‘Don’t cheer, boys,” caid one. “Half million men died here.” For the sixth time the band of Mona- han Post, Sloux City, Towa, has been chosen champlon musical organization of the Legion.

Vice President Dawes is perhaps the most serious contender TIllinois has for the presidential nomination. Not that the Vice President is a candidate. Far from it. He says he §s not a can- didate, and repeats it. But he has a host of friends who believe in his star. They helieve that after Mr. Lowden has been eliminated, the nomination will seek out Gen. Dawes. That being the case, they are not averse to Mr. Lowden's entering the convention with a goedly batch delegates behind him. They figure that for one reason or another Mr. Lowden is not likely to be nominated and ask, Where could the Lowden delegates then go as grace- fuly as to Gen. Dawes? Lowden is 66 years old. Should for any cause he be removed from the pleture or remove himself before the Republican national nvention, a very different sort of uation would present fiself for the Dawes supporters to consider. Can- lidates, to have delegates, must make some kind of motion for them, or else count on a deadlock to force the selection of a dark horse.

A courageous, human figure, who startled the Senate and the country by his vigorous attack on the rules of the Senate when he became its presiding officer, he has caught the imagination of many. Gen.

He bas friends in the East, too, where the farm relief measure is not so well thought of, bhecause of his fight during the last national campaign against radicalism and for the Constitution.
