10000 IN LINE OF MARCH
Ex-Service Men Representing Every
State and Far-Off Outposts at
Cleveland Convention.

Twenty thousand ex-service men.
representing every state in the Union
and far-off outposts where the Stars
and Stripes flies, swung through the
streets of Cleveland, o., in the great
opening parade at the second annual
convention of The American Legion.
Leading the parade were hundreds
of disabled veterans of the World
war in automobiles, while behind them
came 81 winners of the Congressional
Medal of Honor. For two solid miles
the sidewalks and stands were packed
with cheering spectators as the vet
Grams passed in review.
Frequent picturesque incidents
served to lend color to the parade as
the long column of olive-drab and navy
blue tramped down the line of march.
LIE Roy Williams, Grand Army of the
Republic veteran, who won the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor at the bat
tie of Cold Harbor, Joined the medal
of honor men and marched the entire
route. A huge flag that stretched
across the street, borne by Legion
naires of Akron, o., was showered
with coins by the spectators until more
than $1,000 was in its folds.
The delegates from Paris, Cuba. Pan
anna, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Mexico and
the Philippine islands, who had tray-
eled thousands of miles to attend the
convention, received a tremendous ova-
ton from the crowd. Army nurses and
former yeomanettes came in for their
share OF the applause, and sensation
was created by the Montana delega-
ton, which appeared in leather chaps,
spurs and sombreros.
More than 100000 spectators viewed
the parade, which was declared to be
the greatest spectacle ever staged in
Cleveland.

LLOYD GEORGE SAYS THE BILL
is VERY GENEROUS TO
COUNTRY.
HOME RULE GRANTED
MEASURE is PASSED WITHOUT
ANY NOTEWORTHY
INCIDENT.
western Newspaper Union New. Service.


London, Nov. 12.-The Irish home
rule bill passed the House of Commons
on its third reading after a motion for
rejection of the measure proposed by
william c. Adamson, the opposition
lender, had been defeated by 1S3 to 81.
The measure passed without any
noteworthy incident in a rather tame
debate. The liberal and labor mem
bers who have boycotted it through
most of its stages as sign of their
conviction of its hopelessness as a set
tlement of the Irish problem were alb
sent The final stage was reached in
a small and rather listless gathering of
members of the house.
Former Premier Asquith appealed
for advantage to be taken of the as
sociations and emotions aroused by the
anniversary of Armistice day, which
could not be put to wOrthier use than
an endeavor to find basis of real set
tlement for Ireland.
Premier Lloyd George, replying, con-
tended that the present bill was gen
erous measure, but the Irish people
were not in temper to give it proper
understanding and consideration.
He declared that documents to be
published at an early date, found in
the possession of Sim Fein leaders in
1918, providing they We're involved in
a German plot, would show the neces-
sity of England retaining complete con-
troll of Irish harbors.
To give Ireland the power to raise
a cOnscript army, he said, would be
a dangerous menace to Great Britain,
and he warned the Laborites that with
an army of that kind in Ireland under
full power of Irish dominion rule, con-
scription in England would become in
evitable.
The premier cOntended that it was
equally impossible to allow Ireland her
own navy, which was quite needless
for her national life, and could only
be used for the peril of Great Britain
and her own destruction.
He argued that it was fruitless to
talk of granting fiscal autonomy to
people still demanding a republic.
Expressing fervent hope for the
removal of misunderstanding which
would make the future so dark, the
premier closed with a note of emotion :
''It may be that it was an Irish sol
dier we honored today. Ireland has
had a great and brilliant share in the
empire. Some of her greatest and
most gallant warriors helped to fight
for the empire. Some of her greatest
statesmen-the shining wisdom of
Burke and the stern leadership of We'll
lington-all contributed to build the
empire.
All we ask is that Ireland should
not in moment of anger cast away
an inheritance which is as much hers
as ours, but join in the empire she
helped to build and adorn."

SENIORITY OF G. A. R. HOLDS
Praise OF Principles Embodied In
Message From Spanish War Vet
Grams and American Legion.

Recognition of the seniority OF the
Grand Army of the Republic among
ex-servIce organizations and praise
of Its principles are embodied in a re-
cent message from representatives Of

Victor Keene of The American Le-
gion, is as follows:
'The representatives OF the United
Spanish War Veterans and The
American Legion, appointed by their
respective national commanders, ex-
tend to you hearty greetings. At a
joint meeting called by your past COM
ander-in-chief, Col. O. N. Adams, a
declaration Of principles was unani-
mously adopted. 1t was agreed that
one of our nations most valuable In
stitutions for the teaching of patriot
ism has been the Grand Army cere-
monies In many localities. and 1t was
believed that a wider recognition by
all of the national veteran groups in
a formal manner of the opportunity
so afforded would result in mutual
good and profit.
The younger veteran groups de-
sire the Grand Army to clearly and
definitely understand that we recog-
nize their seniority, and hold the
Grand Army, composed as 1t is of our
fathers and grandfathers, in reverent
affection. We hold it splendid thing
TO be permitted to aid and help the
Grand Army in its work during its
life; and when the Grand Army shall
be no more. with the appreciation that
all men who have seen service feel for
brothers in arms, to continue the GUS
toms and honor the memory of the
Grand Army as we will our own"

WASHINGTON, April S.-West
Virginia politicians in the capital pre-
dict today that Senator Howard Suth-
erland will make formal announce
ment of his presidential candidacy be-
fore he departs for Wheeling tonight
to attend the soldiers celebration in
honor of General Pershing. He has
been urged to postpone It until he
arrives in Wheeling by some of his
friends, but it is not believed that he
will wait until then. Senator Suther-
land has kept the politicians guessing
as to what he would do, but the opin-
ion is strongly held by them now that
he has decided to throw his hat in.
His pre-convention activities will be
confined largely to winning his own
states delegation, it is said. Opinion
also is to the effect that the only op-
ponent he will have in West Virginia
is General Wood, whose candidacy
has already been filed at Charleston.
