 ArticI6s of Constitution.
 The articles of the constitution are:
 FirstlThe name shall be the Amer. ican Legion.
 Second-All persons are eligible to membership who served in the mill tary or naval forces of the United States between April 6, 1917, and No vember Il, 1918, both inclusive, or in military or naval forces of our allies who were American citizens at time of enlistment and also at time of ap- plication for membership.
 Third Organization shall be non- partisan and shall not further the can didacy of any person seeking public office or preferment.
 The remainingss articles of the constitution set forth the administra- ticn of the organization and provide that a national convention shall be held yearly with delegates from at least 25 states and territories to pro- vide quorum. Article sixth provides that no post shall be named aftes any living man.
 Strictly Non-PoIiticaI.
 The fact. that the organization is non-political and non-sectarian is one of the most important actions of the convention in the opinion of the re- turning delegates. Councils, instead of taking sides, because of their null titude of members of all patries and sects, will set standards and will demand of parties and individuals that they live up to the standards. In this way, declare the delegates, political atmosphere will be considerably cleared
 Lieut.. Col. E. Power Conway of Phoenix was named temporary chair man for Arizona by the convention and delegates attending constitute the states committee on organization. 1 They are now preparing for calling the Arizona convention.

PARIS. May (Havas.)- Speak ing today at banquet of the Repub- lican committee on commerce, agri- culture and industry, Louis Nail, min ister of justice, said that the taxing of the people and requisitioning had been ended in France. Dealing with the peace treaty the minister. added:
 Our enemies who are protesting violently against clauses of the treaty forget that they deliberately started the war. ruined ten French depar~ ments and killed a million and half of .Frenchmen. No punishment would be severe enough if the justice due the allies was demanded to the limit. The Versailles treaty, however, is not written in the spirit of conquest and hatred.P

 'For instance, as result of the diversity of the viewpoint of the law in the different countries interested, the German delegation considers it indispensable that prisoners of war and civilians undergoing penalties for other infractions than those of dis cipline should be in group that ought to be repatriated unconditionally. Germany has recognized this princi- pie regarding prisoners of war and civilians of the allied and associated powers in its custody
 The German delegation deem it is necessary for reasons of equity to accord certain improvements in the treatment of prisoners, military and civilians, pending the time when they may return to their own country"
 The three new notes from Count von Erockdorff-Rantzau have been referred by the council of four to spe- cial committees.
 The report of the committee on the German note regarding changes in the labor convention has been approved and sent to the Germans. Close scru- tiny of the treaty revealed several omissions. The council corrected one of these by deciding to insert clause providing for the withdrawal of rep resentation on the reparations com mission on twelve months notice.

(Continued from Page onel with heartiness, which was recipro cated in a measure by those assem bled.
 Professor Lammasch was accom- panied by his wife and daughter and there were several women secretaries, who were shown the greatest cour- tesy. The Austrian newspapermen and subordinates were quartered in one of the reQuisitioned hotels.
 After their arrival at the villas the Austrian delegates again thanked the escorting officers for their cour- teous reception, and chatted for al time, contrasting the sunshine and warmth of France with the snows and bleakness of Austria and Switzerland on the journey hither
 The Austrian chancellor, in his speech on arrival and later in con versation, spoke German, but excused himself as being unable to speak French.
 Austria Anxious to Sign
 Members of the Austrian delega' tion, questioned on their arrival, inti- mated that they would demand the attachment of German Bohemia and German; Tyrol to Germany and de clared that without these concessions they would be unable to sign the treaty This was not said with such conviction as would indicate a firm. determination and the impression was gained that they were ready to sign, even if annexation to Germany was not permitted.
 'Pm Neutral" Says Delegate P
 T am a neutral" remarked Sla- tin Pasha, a former official of the Egyptian government, who accompan- jed the delegation. This remark, though made apropos of Slatin Pasha's status as delegate of the Austrian Red Cross, might apply to the attitude of the whole Austrian delegation. They. evidently do not re gard themselves as in the same cate gory with the Germans.
 It is learned from members of the party that the leading representatives are sharply divided regarding the question of annexation to Germany; so that the delegation as whole can scarcely take a firm stand on per manent prohibition of union with Ger many which appears in the draft of the treaties for both Germany and Austria.
