Minneapolis, Nov. l0-To give the American Legion permanent shape and declare it's policies as a force in the social and governmental life of the nation, 2,O00 delegates represent ing all sections and classes of service men and women started their first convention here today.
 Governor J. A. Burnquist, Cyrus Northrop, president emeritus of the University Of Minnesota, and Mayor J. Meyers delivered brief speeches at the opening session, which was called to order by Henry D. Lindsey of Texas, national chairman.
 Discussion of candidates for na- tional officers with at least a dozen prominently mentioned for first na- tional head of the legion, has brought an emphatic refusal from at least one delegate.
 When I say mo- mean mo-" de- ciared Theodore Roosevelt, one of the delegates from New York, when his candidacy was mentioned. Others receiving support incIuoe Colonel Milton J. Foreman of Chicago. Henry D. Lindsey of Texas, Colonel Benson W. Hough of Ohio. and Thomas s. WoImsley of Louisiana.

GERMANS MUST STOP SENDING
 RUSSIA ARMS
Peace Council Takes Action Forbidding This
 Aid.

Paris, Nov. 10-Although today had been set as the date for a meet ing between representatives of the Germans and delegates of France. Great Britain, and Italy to discuss the proposed protocol to the German peace treaty in which the Germans are expected to bind themselves to live up to the armistice conditions, the discussion did not take place. The Italian delegation, it developed, was not ready for the conference. At this mornings meeting of the council the subject of the shipment by the Germans of arms into Russia was discussed.
 Instructions were sent to the Inter Allied military commission in Berlin to notify the Germans that such ship ment must be discontinued. The Ger man contention was that the arms were destined for General Denikine, but the general belief in peace con ference circles was that they were in- tended for Colonel Bermondt, the leader of the combined German in surgent and Russian force near Riga. Under the terms of the armistice and also under the peace treaty terms, the Allies have the power to forbid , such shipments

 Mayor Wilson then said that he was thankful that he was sure the people of Bridgeport were determined to have America for Americans and he intended to uplift the city but stated he could not do this alone and want ed the united efforts of the people for the task.
 In closing his address the mayor thanked the citizens for their confi- dence in him and assured them that it would not be misplaced. He ad- mitted he might make mistakes and asked the indulgence of the people, but assured them it would not be an intentional blunder.
 In the opening of the inaugural eXerci s City Auditor Bernard Keat- ing swore in City Clerk J. Alex Rob- inson and he in turn swore in the rest of the successful candidates. Following the Mayors inauguration Town Clerk Clarence F. Winton- was sworn in. He was followed by Tax Collector Howard Smith and William IrJ. Garrity, the young city treasurer. The selsctmen, sheriffs, and board of education followed.

 In the city court this morning, John Leonard, the machine operator explained why he had failed to secure a Connecticut state license to run the machine. He left Worcester, Mass, yesterday and of course could not se- cure a license in this state on Sunday. The man claims to be an experienced operator, and declared that he in tended to secure the necessary license this morning.
 After hearing the facts of the case, Judge Frederic A. Bartlett nolled the case against Leonard, and criticized the action of Officer Verelli in no un- certain language.
 Ut was unfortunate that the show could not go on," said the judge. The arrest was technically correct, but in my opinion judgment should have been used"
 Leonard stated this morning, that it is customary for each state to prac- tice the courtesy of letting a motion picture machine operator run his ma chine on the license of another state until such time as he can secure a license from the state in which he is working. It was intinated that the arrest was expected, and no amount of arguing could deter VereilH from taking the action.

DREAM OF THE AMERICAN REDS

HE RUSSIAN gentlemen who intended to set up Soviet government in America, with Russian for the official language, had imagnatons but little ability to cope with their environment.
 The population of Russian origin is handful pared with the HOOOOOOO persons who nhab continental States.
 Their program impossible dream, and their plan for carrying it out grotesque.
 These fanatics and visonares might have with their bombs and their propaganda violence. It would not have been much.
 They better off in Russia, where violence sary concommtant of reform.
 Besides, aliens must later learn the guest of the country in the the them ege of saying how America shall be managed belongs not to aliens.
