Y., bearing Robert Peed, Robert Chew and Harry Van Liew. Scores of planes are expected, and Legion officials say the dirigible Los Angeles will be here Tuesday if the weather permits.

C, SEPTEMBER 2 VETERANS DEPART FOR LEGION MEET Special Train of 13 Coaches Take District Delegation to Convention City. Bound for the eleventh annual con- | vention in Loulsville, the delegation | from the Depdrtment of the District of ! Columbia, the American Legion, to- gether with affiliated organizations, de- parted last night at 6:30 o'clock in a special train over the Baltimore & Ohio Ruilroad. The party will arrive in Louisville this morning at 11:15 o'clock. The convention opens tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock and will continue in ‘session until Thursday afternoon, concluding with the election of officers. The big parade will take place Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock over a 2-mile route through the center of the city. ‘The Department of the District of Co- lumbia, which jumped from fifty-eightin placé in previous parades to second place this year, as the result of the in- tensive membership campaign carried on by Department Commander Harlan Wood, will in all probability lead this | parade. The Department of Hawail, 1 which won first position in the parade, defeating the District by a small mar- gin after an exciting membership cam- paign, will not likely send a delegation to Louisville by reason of the many thousands of miles separating the con- | vention city from the Pacific Islands and in view of this fact the Department of the District of Columbia is expected | to step out in the front ranks for the | first time in the history of the local de- | partment. “The special train which pulled out of the National Capital last night con- sisted of 13 coaches, picking up an a ditional one at Cumberland, Md. The Maryland delegation accepted an invi- tation extended by the local convention travel committee and three coaches are included in the make-up of the special, which ran out as a second section of the National Limited.
