(By United Press. )

Miami Aug. 5.-The British con-
sui, Hubbard, received orders from
British Ambassador Geddes to board
the British sable ship Colnia when it
arrived here this afternoon and take
her out Of American waters.
Washington, Aug. 5.-Five Amer
lean destroyers are patrolling the
harbor Of Miami, Florida, to prevent
the British ship from making cable
landing there. Officials said that the
order from President Wilson to the
navy department stated that if neces-
sary the landing at Miami Of the
Western Union cable from the Bar.
bados should be prevented by force,
A British cable ship, the Colonial
has been chartered by the Western
Union company to land the American
end Of the cable, which would con.
meet with a British cable line from
Barbados to South America. At the
state department it was stated today
that the British ambassador had been
asked to inform the master of the
ship that such landing would be in
violation Of American law.
Some time ago the Western Union
company applied to the state depart
ment for an executive permit to land
the wire at Miami, but officials said
action on it had been delayed pend.
ing the holding Of the international
communication congress-, called to
meet in Washington, September Is
There were reports that after the
Western Union company filed its ap.
plication for a permit, the state
department requested that copy OF
the contract with the British cable
concern also be filed, and that The
company refused to comply. No in.
formation as to this was obtainable
at the department. While there is q
direct cable line between the United
States and the Pacific coast of South
America, cable communication be.
tween this country and Brazil is pos
sible now only by way of London un'
less the messages are sent to the
west coast and relayed overland. A
direct cable line to Brazil, officials
said, is much to be preferred, as it
would afford a means Of faster and
probably cheaper communication.

LEGION TO AID
STRICKEN MEN
Adjutants Hear Plan for Help
ing Ex-Service Comrades.

The disqualification plan Of the legion
was outlined by Gerald J. Murphy, d.
rector of the national service division,
and an address, in which he spoke of
the situation regarding disabled former
service men, was made by National Com
mander F. W. Galbraith, Jr., at today's
session Of department adjutants Of the
American Legion held at the Washington
Hotel.
In his talk the director of the national
service division spoke of the plan for
the legion to make survey of all hos
pitfalls where former service men are;
to obtain individual attention for the
men, and to show them that they have
not been forgotten by the American peo-
pie or their comrades in the legion
the responsibility for this to be placed
on the legion post nearest each Of these
hospitals, the posts to work under SUI
pervision Of National, State and commun-
ity disqualification committees.
He said that fundamentally the trouble
J was that the nation failed to provide for
these men-that there was a failure to
provide a single bed in advance for this
He said that he conceived it to be the
job of the legion, backed by every loyaS-
American, to see that the American Gov
eminent and the American people meet
their solemn obligation to these men.
We've forgotten he added, ito put our
bodies between these people and incom-
petent and inefficient executives in whose
care they have been placed
He told of a visit to Chicago hospital,
where, he said, the State was spending
s1.25 a day for the disabled soldiers,
while the Government was paying $3.50.
he said that the legion would get AMI
individual record of each disable ex -serv-.
Ice man and see that he. received what
was due him.
In a Chicago hospital, he said, one Of
these men had died last Thursday ant
on the following Saturday checks fosA
more than 81, 400 arrived for him from tbs +

had put in his claim last May. !
