 Sailors and Marines

 Lieut.. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and Lieut.. Colonel Bennett Clark are among the men who are tenn porarily directing the tentative or ganization.
 The purpose of the legion is non- partisan and non-political; it will keep alive the principles of justice, freedom and democracy for which these veterans fought and will pre- serve to future generations the his tory and incidents of their partci- patton in the war and will cement and perpetuate the ties of conrad Ship formed in the service.
 The following are provisions of the constitution adopted by the St. Louis caucus May 10, 1919:
 Article II, Membership-All per sons shall be eligible for mem- bership in this organization who were in the military or naval serv- ice of the United States during the period between April 9th, 1917, and November II, 1918, both dates in- elusive, and all persons who served in the military and naval services of any of the other governments asso- ciated with the United States during the World War, provided that they were citizens of the United States at the time of their enlistment and who are again citizens at the time of their application, except those per sons separated from the service under terms amounting to, dishonor. able discharge, and except those persons who refused to perform their military duties on the grounds of conscientious objections.
 Article 6, the Local Unit-The local unit shall be termed the Post, which shall have maximum mem bership of fifteen. No post shall be received into this organization until it shall have received charter. A

Philadelphia, Pa.--No, Louise, hubby does not have to pay you a salary. And there is no use in try ing to make him pass over each week that $19.48, because two emi- nent debaters, who insist that they represented the whole of Philadel- phia, decide just the opposite at the Baptist Temple here. Prof. John Dennis Mahoney and the Rev. Dr. E. P. Haas used up about all the words in circulation debating on the sub- ject, with the result that when the vote was finally taken every member of the audience with the exception of two men, decided that "dear w'fey'i should not share in the spells of married life. Love-, just love, not cash, should satisfy her, as the speakers put it. Prof. Calvin Os- borne Althouse and c. Oscar Beas- ley argued on the affirmative side.

CUMM|NS BILL IS
PASSED BY SENATE

Washington. Dec. 21-The Senate Satur-

the Senate went on record in emphatic
fashion against the extension of govern
ment control and operation of the rail-
roads for any length of time by rejecting.
II to g. "A substitute bill offered by Sens-
tor LaFollette which would have con-
tlnued government operation for two
years.
1t received the support of eight demo-
Gratis and three republicans Senators
Ashurst, Chamberlain, Henderson, john
son tSouth Dakota), Kendrck, Nugent.
Sheppard and Walsh, Montana, were the
democrats who voted for the substitute.
and the republicans were Senators Gronna,
La Toilette and Norris.
There would have been more votes
against the bill. senators said, had they
been assured that the railroads would
not be turned back to their owners on
January /. They were afraid that to
delay legislation OF some kind longer
might endanger the safety of the rail-
roads and result dsastrously for the
business of the whole country. These
senators hoped that President Wilson
would send word to Congress before the
bill was passed of the date on which he
| intends to relinquish control. They have
| the hope that the House and Senate con-
ferees, who, it is conceded, will be the
| real trainers Of whatever legislation is
finally enacted. will work out something
better than either the Cummns bill or
| the Esch bill. which the House passed.
| The strongest objection to the Cum
| Minis bill, in the minds of senators who
| voted for it as the quickest way out OF
a complex situation, is that it provides
| in effect a government subsidy for the
| countrys railroads. They apprehend.
they said, tina. this will mean a heavy
strain upon the public purse. through rate
increases which will be passed along and
will affect the prices Of practically all
