M. (Special to the Herald) Boston, Oct. 9—Leaving Boston at 8§ o'clock this afternoon, the Con- necticut special Legion train is due to arrive in New Britain between 8 and 10 o'clock tonight. The exact time of the train's arrival in New Britain cannot be announced be- cause it will make several stops en route. Nearly 4,000 Legionnaires €onnecticut parade Tuesday in connection with the national convention of the American Legion. This number ex- ceeded by at least 1,000 the most sanguine hopes of the department officials in the estimates made prior #o the convention. Of this number, more than 400 attended from New Britain. Large numbers of members of v-Glover post availed themselves of the op- portunity of getting to the Hub via the special excursion trains leaving New Britain and other points 1hroughout the state and when they were all massed together, the Nut- meg State had a very creditable representation in the mammoth demonstration. All along the line of march, the Connecticut section received liberal applause, Headed by the combined bands of the Governor’s Foot Guard, an organization of 60 pieces in their striking uniforms of colonial design and their martial music, the column swung along in the path of thou- #ands of others who had gone before from and was followed by just as many | more thousands. Among the former men who marched with dd post were Carlysle G..Barrett and Robert J. Conroy. Barrett is direc- tor of the Boston district for War- ner Bros. and Conroy is clerk of the committee on the census at Wash- ington, D. C. The New Britain dele- gation was led by Police Sergeant Thomas J. Feeney. Biggest Parade in Legion History The parade was reported by those who have available the statistics o . preceding years to have exceeded any other national convention pro- cession. Every state in the union and every country on the globe in which a mebmer of the American Legion can be found, was represen ed. Greece, Ttaly, Germany, Haxw Porto Rico, the Panama Canal zone, Canada, Alaska all had delegations while the Paris post from France had as many as 50 in a separate section. In the Drum Ma New Britain special Pullman sleepers, or Howard Mitchell, Po- lice Sergeant Thomas J. Feeney and Carl Nelson, delegated themselves as a committee of three to see that the Legionnaires sleeping there. were aroused early for the parade.

Connecticut In Parade | In the parade, the first district from Connecticut which was semnd‘ in line of march in the state section because of the fact that the second district had secured the largest num- ber of members during the year and therefore won the right of the line for Connecticut, presented a striking appearance New Haven, West Haven and posts in the second district, follow- | ed the Governor's Foot Guard band and the New Haven Post Bugle and Drum Corps through the streets of Boston. FEddy-Glover Post drum | and bugle corps headed the first district in which was New Britain’s section. Following New Britain | came Hartford with its newly or- ganized bugle and drum corps. Next came South Manchester with a last came Southington, Plainville, Berlin and other nearby contingents. Eddy-Glover post corps on parade in tnis greatest of parade spectacles, showed to advantage. The rolling of the drums, the blare of the bugles wers only sidelights in comparison with the snappy step, the accurate timing of the drummers, the strik- ing appearance and the gleaming helmets of the local corps members. The route of the march covered more than seven miles and passed through all of downtown Boston. “Daddy” Edwards Cheered One of the features of the parade cheers and the loudest applause from the millions or more specta- tors on the streets, was the appear ance on a charging white horse at the very beginning of the entire pa- rade, of Major General Clarence R.

SOLDIERS REBEL: JOIN COMMUNISTS | Thousands of Chinese Quit Army for Red Ranks Shanghai, Oct. 9.—(#A—Thousands of rebellious soldiers throughout southern China today were reported | flocking to the red banners, swelling the ranks of ecommunists to formi- dable proportions. Changsha advices said the Reds in Hunan province had perfected an or- ganization to a high degree and were virtually in control of the entire province. A report from Kiukiang sald com- munists who captured Kian, import- ant city in southern Kiangsi prov- ince, were continuing their looting there and were driving scattered provincial forces north toward Siakiang. The situation at Nanchang, capital of Kiangsi, was said to have eased slightly as the red army on the out- kirts of the city had withdrawn ightly toward the southeast. The populace of Nanchang re- mained in a state of alarm, how- ever, because the red army was con- sidered strong enough to capture any city in the province. Two thousand nationalist soldiers from Hankow arrived at Kiukiang and were sent to join the Nanchang garrison while coolies in the capital worked feverishly to prepare de- fense trenches. The reds seemed content, however, to plunder outlying communities rather than attacking the major cities.
