Washington, Dec. 15.-Orders for a survey of the six former Ger man liners allocated to the United States by the inter-allied armis- tice commission for the repatria- tion of American troops have been issued, Chairman Payne. of he shipping board said tonight.

100 Posts of
 Legion in State

Little Rock, Dec. 15.-There are 100 posts of the American legion already organized in Arkansas, and the movement is spreading rapidly over the state. One of the purposes of the legion is to work to insure 10 0per cent Ameri- canism, along the following lines:
 1-Detecting anti-American ac- tivities everywhere and seizing every opportunity everywhere to speak plainly and openly for 100 per cent Americanism and for nothing else.
 2-Making direct appeals to legal authority to take such law ful steps as may be necessary to correct local conditions every where.
 3-Making every member of each local post of constructive force for up-building of a vital knowledee of the principles of the constitution of the United States and of the processes of law and order obtaining under that consti- tuition.
 4-Showing to every person con- taminated by un-American pre- iudice that the welfare of all the people is really the best interest of any class and that government must be conceived in terms of all the people and net for the bena- fit relatively small classes.

 Discussing the industrial situa- tion, Mir. Hays declared that the present difficulties would be soly- ed in one way-by finding exact justice and applying it.
 It is" he said, simply a mat ter of Roosevelt's square deal exact justice for labor, exact jus tice for capital and exact justice for the public, the third side of the triangle which must not be lost sight of."
 The republican party is against government ownership of rail- roads and industries, but in favor of strong regulation of them, he said.
 We are against that pedagogic form of paternalism which has re- gently developed in this country" he said. "We will not forget that while we fought in France to make certain the rights of free government in this world, we have republican to preserve in this country, that we are representa-, tive government and not bolshe- vik syncopation."
