Within a few weeks, perhaps al

the life OF the viceroy. This informa-
ton has been in the hands of the

Assassination of the emir will be
the signal for an Afghan nationalist
revolt entirely un-Bolshevik in char

government as first blow against

Blumkin is tall, dark Jew. a Tar

NEW HAMPSHIRE IS IN LEAD
Department Shows Gain of 5000 Men,
bers During American Legion
Week; Nebraska Second.

In letter forwarded to all depart
nrents of the American Legion recent
ly, Lemuel BOlles, national adiutant,
announces that standings of states in
the Legion membership push" will be
determined on the basis of returns at
national headquarters up to the close
of business June ID.
Incomplete reports from various
parts of the country indicate that the
New Hampshire department with a
gain of 5000 new members during the
American Legion week, having so far
enrolled the largest percentage of eli
gibles In its state, is leading all 9th
ers. Nebraska is second, Massachu-
sets third and California fourth in
the race at present. 1t is estimated
that the grand total of new members
gathered In during the entire cam
paign will be nearly half million.
Te,egrnms arriving at national head
quarters during the last few days show
that in comparatively few instances
have all posts in any state reported
their totals of new members gained
and 1t Is believed the winning depart
ment Will not ne definitely known un-
Til after June 10.

FIRST CASE FOR
LEAGUE TO HANDLE
COUNCIL UNDERTAKES ADJUDl-
CATION OF PERSIA VS.. SOVIET
RUSSIA DISPUTE.

London. - The case of Persia
against Soviet Russia, the first bit of
international adjudication undertaken
by the council of the League of Ma.
lions, was remanded pending the re-
suit of the Bolshevik promise TO cease
aggression in Persia and withdraw the
landing party operating in the neigh
borhood of Tnzeli.
Supporters of the league anticipated
action by the council on the Persian
appeal for intervention as the first
practical test of its power to settle
international disputes, but the coun-
Gil, after two days deliberations,
concluded that 1t was desirable in
order to give every opportunity for
success of the exchanges going on
between Teheran and Moscow, to
await the fulfillment of Moscow's de-
clared intention before determining
the manner or bring the leagues ma
chinery into play.
Lord CurZon, the British foreign
secretary, bringing up the subject Al
the public meeting at st. James pal
ace, said that the council had tender
ed its sympathy to the Persian gov
eminent in the difficult position in
which it had been placed and agreed
that it had done rightly in opening
discussions with the Russians.
Sir Eric Drummond, dealing with
fhA cub Of hn on
investigating commission to Russia,
announced the council could do no
more than note Moscow's refusal OF
May rs to receive such commission
The grounds for this refusal were
stated in the Soviet reply to the
councils first request for permission
to investigate the country when the
Soviet foreign minister, NJ. Tchitch
erin, said that "the question of safety
prevented it from receiving the com
commission until the situation Great
ed by the Polish offensive had taken
more favorable turn

giOn as of April
~. l92O, marks an important step in the
history of the 15-mOnths-old body. 1t
stands as conclusive evidence that the
initial expenditure of some 500, 900
which the Legion borrowed prior to
The Minneapolis convention for use in
building up solid, permanent organi-
cation on a firm basis. was wisely
made.
when the idea of q Legion was
first conceived and its founders be-
gan putting into execution their plans
for making it the vast reality ii now

they needed money. just as in the case
of any new association or enterprise.

ITO Initiate the organization plan,
some 200 friends of the Legion indi-
vidually guaranteed % separate loans,
aggregating S2570O0. secured by their
personal notes. The money was bor-
rowed on these notes throughout the
country on basis of appOrtiOnment
according TO federal reserve bank dis
tricts. The loan is n legal debt, ac-
knowledged by the Legion at its ma
tional convention. and constitutes an
ordinary. normal business transaction.
The notes bear interest and every
penny of interest and principal will
be paid off just as fast as our present

To-day, the best evidence that the
money was wisely expended is found
in the fact that the American Legion

EClAL SESSION CALLED TO IN.
HESTIGAT ACTION OF ROAD
SUPERVISORS.
|ONATIoN F31M The STATE
Opinion Is That Parish Jury Acted
- Upon Erroneous Presumption in
Attempting To Set Aside the
Sum of 100000.

Jonesboro, La. - The grand jury
alled in special session here primar-
ey for investigating the action OF the
board OF supervisors OF road construc-
ion for Jackson parish, filed its final
report, returning four true bills in
.bther matters and commendign the
|members OF the board of supervisors
TOR the honest, practical and econom-
Zeal manner they have handled the
road construction.
4 The report says in part:
1--WE fEd thot in a few instances ex-
cessive prices have been paid for
11ght of way, and that even wire fenc'
Ing has been purchased and used u
nclose property belonging to private
ersons. While we are not in position
% say that in no instance should the
hoard of supervisors pay for right or

Purchasing the material and building
snces. We appeal to all public spir-
led citizens to make every reasonable
acrifice to the end that the money
low on hand may be used in building
I'd constructing roads throughous the
krish with as little loss to or extor-
IN on the road funds as reasonably
sfble.'
1--WE are assured by those In charge
the road building that they have
11ceived the promise of the State
)ehway Department that, If the p-es-
- plans to construct an east ad west
north and south road through
"a parish are carried out, we can
uecure a donation from the state and
Federal government of about 100000
% the east and west road and about
|o150.000 on the north and south road.
|This board of supervisors assures US
that the ordinary roads throughout
nc parish are now being worked as
rapidly as possible and that by late
loll they expect to have every road In
he parish worked In good shape, all
r. an expenditure of not over seven
or eight thousand dollars. Our inves'
leafion convinces us that it is prob
sble that the board of supervisors can
1o this. for we find that many miles
81 road lave already been worked by
hem throughout the parish.
1T is our opinion. that the jury oil
sur parish acted upon an erroneous
resumption or statemet nf facts in
attempting to set aside the sum oil
100000 for the purpose OF working
LIE roads generally throughout the
sarjsh. II this should be done 1t would
nrobably result in neither the north or

HAD RUSH OF ORDERS IN MAY
Demand for Memorial Day Supplies
Taxed Legion Department; Fourth
of July Warning.

Don't shoot the pianist-he's doing

"Treat the undertaken kindly-you
may be buried yourself some day."
These, together with various and
sundry kindred admOnitions might
constitute a seemingly appropriate in
PRODUCTION to this pathetic narrative.
1t deals with the plight of certain dis
tracted individuals at national head
quarters of the American Legion. Aside
from Lemuel Bolles. national adjutant,
who has been swamped so often that
he's getting used to II, this unfortu-
nate had to read and answer more
kilograms and letters IN May than all
other members of the headquarters
staff combined. And the reason Is
this:
Between May / and May % the fol-
lowing orders, among others, all for de-
livery by May 30, poured in like
barrage on the emblem division, OF
which the hero of our tale has charge:
2.15S grave markers.
16S silk United States flags.
1913 wool post flags.
90 wool United States flags.
Result, some 5000 separate and dis
| tinct crush" orders, including almost
| innumerable demands for buttons
pins, badges. rings. watch-fobs, auto
radiator decorations and whatn0ts.
So, az last in tones that moved his
colleagues to tears, the martyr sent
out this IS. o. S.:
please tell all posts and buddies,
he sighed, "that they'll either have 10
order the stuff they want for July

mortal day paraphernalia. or I'll drop
dead in the midst of the rush and gum
