of 25,O0O veterans of the world war.
From all points of the compass,
from every state and nearly every
city and town in the union, they came

Comparatively few were in citi-
zen's attire; the majority proudly
wore uniforms hallowed by the ser
vice on dozen fields of battle. Be-
fore the convention closes Wedncj-
day night legion officials expect the
attendance to climb to the $4,000
mark.
The heart of the city early rs
sumed the appearance of great

Strenuous controversy was ex-
pectcd over the political restriction
clause in the legion constitution.
Strong objection TO the non-political
character of the legion has devel-
oped. Demands are being made by
members of posts in some parts of
the country for repeal of this clause.
Commander D'Olier holds that the
various posts can take steps neces-
sary TO keep out of public office any
individual whose war record was
disloval and unpauiotic, without
conflicting with the spirit or letter
Of the legion constitution.
The delegates are expected to pass
resolutions calling on the War De-
par,ment and the Department cf
Justice for rigorous prosecution of
those who evnded their military
duty.
Means of cuIhing the activities of
violent radical organizations; treat
ment of alien slackers; the immi.
grafton question in general and the
Japanese question in particular,
Americanism; better schools; uni
versal military training: women in
the legion and its auxiliaries; rules
for eligibility to the organization and
prosecution Of those Who fradulent'y Y
wear legion insignia are among the
questions that are sure TO come up.
Most of the 81 living men WHO
received the congressional medal of

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says 'Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
90 many people claim, that it fuIflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
6wamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

REFUSES TO DELIVER
EXTRACTION LIST
Won Lersner, Head Of German
Peace Delegation, Returns
Names and Quits Post.

Paris.-Kurt Won Lersner, head OF
the German peace delegation at Paris,
has returned to Premier Millerand the
list containing the names of Germans
whose extraditions is demanded by the
allies, which was handed to him We'd
nesday and has informed the premier
that he has resigned and is leaving for
Berlin by the first train.
Baron Won Lersner said his decision
was in line with the attitude he had
maintained throughout regarding the
question of extradition. He declared he
had held that no German official could
be instrumental in carrying out the ex-
tradition clauses of the treaty and con-
sequently the matter having come up
in a definite final form there was
nothing left for him to do but to re-
sign and go home.
Immediately after receiving the list
Baron Won Lersner addressed the fol-
lowing letter to Premier Millerand:
'Your excellency has transmitted to
me a note containing the names of
Germans whose extradition is demand
ed by the allied powers. In the course
of the last three months l have most
seriously laid before representatives
Of the allied and associated govern
ments, ten times in writing and Is
times orally, the reasons why it was
impossible to comply with such re-
quest, no matter what the social rank
of the accused person might be.
81 remind your excellency of my
constantly repeated declarations that
no German functionary would be dis
posed to be in any way whatever in
strumental in the realization of the de-
mand for their extradition. l should
be instrumental in it If were to for
ward to the German government the
note of your excellency. 1 therefore
send it back herewith.
81 have made it known to my gov
eminent that l can not remain in of
flee and that 1 shall leave Paris by the
next train.
"FRBIHERR Won LERSNER."
Baron Kurt Won Lersners refusal
to accept the allied note regarding the
extradition of accused Germans was
not in accordance with instructions he
had received from Berlin. The Ger
man government has requested him to
receive it, but he asked by telegraph
for permission to retire and his resig
nation was Immediately accepted.
The list of Germans whose extradi
tion is demanded by the allies began
to arrive here over the official wire
from Paris at IL o'clock Wednesday
morning. The first name licked off
was that of Duke Albrecht of Wurt
temberg.
