future military policy OF the United
States; educational facilities for ex-
service men and women; proper care
and rehabilitation Of the wounded:

The convention which opens next
Monday will be the first general as
sembly Of the American Legion since
the Paris and St. Louis caucuses las.
March and May, respectively, when
the organization OF the legion was
started. At the Minneapolis conven-
ton the legion will be officially
established as a big new ractor in
American life and affairs. The elect
ed representatives OF the million men
and women who served in the great
war and who have joined the legion
will express at the convention the
things that are on their minds aid
will fix the course, policy and activ-
ity Of the American Legion for The
ensuing year.
Since the Paris and ST. Louis meet
ings, the American Legion has been
organized nationally and locally with
an active state branch IN every state
and local posts in almost every COM
munity. On October 9th there were
5000 local posts chartered by the
national executive committee and TSo
others organized and awaiting ma
tional charters. The approximate
membership OF the legion on that
date was more than 100000. and
there is every indication that when
all the state organizations report to
the national secretary at Minneapolis
on Friday the total membership, of
the legion win exceed 100000. In
addition to the posts m the United
States there are three posts In
Alaska, one in Cuba, three IN Hawaii,
one in Mexico and one IN Panama.
Whatever actions are taken by the
Minneapolis convention viii be the
will of the majority of the legion, and
although distinctions OF rank and
service during the great war was
21O, 900 and not all of these are yet
members Of the American Legion.
In addition to this endorsement Of
the doughboy himself as the national
organization Of American veterans of
the great war, the American Legion
has been officially recognized as such
by national, state and local officials
and by congress which granted the
legion a national charter, the first
ever bestowed upon an organization
of this kind.

Were Not Guilty Parties, and

for the crime. They were held on
the Identification of Night Patrolman
Park, who flashed his light on two
men in the alley, as they were sit
ting on two boxes OF their plumber,
and who ran as he approached. AL
berts and Reddinger claimed all along
thai they were not the men wanted.
They said they We're in st. Louis at
the time. Park insisted he had the
right men. On a preliminary hearing
they were bound over.
1t was after this hearing that the
police were told that they still did
not have the right men. They were
told that Ely and King had been
making some statements about hav-
ing market for some goods if they
could get the stuff. Chief Henreman
detailed Patrolman Wilson Saturday
to bring in Ely and King. They
could not be found then, Dut yester-
day morning Wilson found them on

TO the station.

men confessed TO taking the stuff
from the car. but claimed they did

their confession that they had
gotten into the car, had taken the
boxes out, and had started up the
alley, towards Fourth street. They

his fashlight on them they turned
and ran, leaving the TWO boxes OF
