WAR VETERANS MEET
Men Saw Service Under ''Old Glory
in Foreign Lands.

Chicago, Aug. 14--Uncle Sam's
sons of empire met here today to talk
of the time they carried the flag into
China, the Philippines. Cuba, Vera
Cruz and the coral reefs and desert
sands" where the United States army,
navy or marine corps has fought
in the past two decades.
Several thousands of them, MEM
bers of the Veterans of the Foreign
Wars of the United States are attend
ing the seventeenth annual encamp-
ment of the national organization.
They came prepared to talk prepared
ness.
Grand Commander Gus E. Hartung
of Denver, and Adjt. Gen. Col. R. E.
Woodside of Pittsburg were early arri-
walls. Delegates are here from the
Philippines and Canal Zone posts.
Delegates displayed with pride their
campaign badges. This badge, issued
by congress to men who saw active
service in the Philippines, Haiti, Santo
Domingo or Cuba, was the official
badge of the encampment.
Remember the Alamo.
The favorite campaign discussed to-
day was that of Gen. Winfield Scott,
made from Vera Cruz to Mexico City
in 1916. The massacre at the Alamo
was re-enacted, the sinking of the
Maine pictured anew and the reoccu-
patton of Cuba and the Nicaragua
campaign were fought over again by
men who took part in many of these
famous events
The opening session was called to
order shortly after noon today A
smoker will be held this evening.
The two hundred delegates of the
ladies' auxiliary will hold their initial
meeting tonight.
Resolutions favoring enactment of
the Key pension bill, already passed
by the lower house of congress, were
to be adopted at this afternoons SEES
sion.
/ Memorial services to commemorate
the memory and history of the day
will be conducted on the afternoon O,
the sixteenth. The convention vii
end Thursday.

WISHAAR SETS RECORD
Hundred Nile Motorcycle Champion
ship Goes to Denver Racer.

Detroit, Mich, Aug 14-Ray
Wishaar of Denver is the new 100
mile national motorcycle champion,
winning this honor after a pretty race
with RED" Parkhurst of Milwaukee
at the state fair track here.
The race was a thriller throughout
and the defeat of Parkhurst was a
heart breaker for he led the field
from the thirtieth mile to the ninety
fifth. when he was compelled TO stop
for fuel Wishaar had been trailing a
half mile lap behind and shot into
first place despite the fact that the
Parkhurst pit crew made a remark
ably fast job of filling his machine.
Wishaar's time was 1880.
Lorenzo Bode of Phoenix, Ariz., was
third and Verrill of Los Angeles,
fourth.

THE PENNSYLVANIA MERGER.
New System to Have Mileage OF
2,s46 west of Pittsburg.


2,s46 west of Pittsburg.
The merger of the Pennsylvania
lines west of Pfttsburg into one cor
poration. which has been officially
confirmed, will mean the simplifica-
ton of the corporate and financial
structure of all the lines concerned. All
the units will be governed by one head
instead of under the present system
whereby each conducts it's business
separately.
The simplification viii result in a
material reduction of the expenses of
each. The authorized capital of the
new corporation will exceed 100000
600. The Pennsylvania company,
which is controlled by the larger com
pany, owns virtually three fourths of
the outstanding stock of the five lines,
including the Panhandle, Vandalia,
Pittsburg, Wheeling & Kentucky, the
Chicago, Indiana & Eastern and the
Anderson Belt railway. The total out
standing stock of these lines is ap-
proximately $sS,O0O.000.

..sTR1KE' OUTS r. r.. INCOME.
Fear of Tie-up Keeping Summer Erav-
elers at Home.

Despite the fact that passenger and
freight traffic is unusually heavy this
month, fear of a nationwide strike on
the part of the train-service brother
hoods is causing losses to the rail-
roads.
Many Topeka business men do not
believe a strike of such gigantic pro-
portions possible. Others are asking
railroad officials the advisa b1ity of
ordering reserve stocks and storing
them.
The scare is also hurting the pas
senger business insofar as many per
sons are postponing their summer va
cations pending the outcome of the
controversy,
