HOMAGE PAID
LEGION VETS
Cheering Thousands Line
Streets During Parade
In Cleveland.
Pubiic Ledger ServiccD

Cleveland. Ohio. Sept. 27.-This
Ohio city resounded to the strains
of martial music and the ringing
tread of marching feet for a period
of more than two hours late this
afternoon. Thirty thousand Ameri-
can veterans of the world war from
many parts of the world marched
through Cleveland's gaily decorated
streets to show their dctermina-
tion that the principles for which
they fought and some of their COM
rades died, shall not perish and that
the ideals for which the American n
Legion stands shall be triumphant
to the end.
The parade was a feature in con-
nection with the Legion's second
national convention holding it's
sessions here. 1t not only was the
greatest parade ever staged in
Cleveland. but a parade of world
war veterans that was unique.
Many of the marchers wore the
very uniforms that became bespat-
tered with mud and blood as they
fought for freedom and a country's
ideal overseas. Many of them vivid
ly recalled that two years ago they
had just begun the decisive Meuse-
ArSonne battle, which after forty
days of bitter fighting brought vic
toory to the allied arms. Many of
them carried empty sleeves and not
a few of them were demonstrating
real pluck when they hiked the long
stretch, trying to show the least
possible sign of alimp.
All Cleveland turned out for the
parading legionnaires. A half holi-
day was declared by Mayor w. S.
Fitzgerald, and the streets along
the line of march were thronged
The populace cheered after a fash
ion no less enthusiastic than had
the marchers been preparing to pro-
tect their lives and homes from an
enemy.

After the war Remsen came
back to his polo and shad. One
day a well set up. affable. cool
young man disturbed him at his
club, and he and O'Roon were
soon pounding each other and ex-
changing opprobrious epithets
after the manner of long-lost
friends. O'Roon looked seedy and
out of luck and perfectly con-

Picked" Porkers
Prove Pestiferous
In Panicky Parade

Singac, y. j.. Sept. 27.-Trafiic
was blocked in four directions
here today by a small army of
intoxicated pigs belonging to
Harold Brown.
Brown employed Jed Van
Giesen as hired man the first
part of last week and forgot to
ask him If he were experienced.
Van Giesen, left to his own
devices while Brown was in
Newark, decided to clean up the
apple orchard. He carefully sep
arated the fruit. placing the
rotten apples in baskets and
dumping them into the hog
pen. Being a green hand he did
not know that an apple left to
itself becomes a high-power dis
tillery.
Toward evening Van Giesen
went to Patterson, while the
pigs went on a spree. They tore
down fences and were soon on
the highways and byways, espe-
cially the much travelled Pomp-
ton Turnpike.
Big pigs and little pigs were
soon dotting the scenery, and
when Brown returned from
Newark he spent a very un-
pleasant evening restoring the
intoxicated incipient bacon to
its proper home.

Say Claim Congress Can't
Abrogate Treaties Clashes
With Supreme Court.
CONGRESS PLANS QUIZ
Will Demand Explanation Of
Attitude from White
House.
(Pdblic Ledger service.)

Congress, when it meets, will de-
mand an explanation of President
Wilson on the statement emanat-
ing from the White House that
Congress had no power to initiate
or abrogate treaties" according to
members of that body seen here
yesterday.
q The statement was the result Of
the criticism directed against the
Presidents action in refusing to
carry out section "a of the merchant
marine act
Differ With President.
Close students of international
law in Congress differ with the
President and are determined that
there shall be a more definite state
ment than any that he has yet
given citing his authority for not
giving notice OF the termination OF
such treaties as are in conflict with
the Jones law.
The State Departmet has not seen
ft so far to specify the precedents
that it has found to uphold the
action of the President. Diligent
search of the existing Qualifications
of International law fails to show
the weight of argument for his
action. hut rather the opposite and
shows definitely that Congress has
just the power which it has taken
unto itself in the shipping act.
Authorities Quoted.
John Bassett Moore, formerly con-
nected with the State Department
and recognized as the foremost au-
thority on international law in the
United States. in his compilation of
international law goes extensively
into the question of abrogation of
treaties and whether a treaty or the
municipal law of the land is su-
preme. Moore's work is not his
individual opinion but a compilation
of court decisions and the State
papers of former diplomatic officers
Of the United States that is recog-
nized the world over as authorita-
tive.
In the chapter dealing with the
abrogation of treaties. Moore. quot
ing a decision of the United States
Supreme Court, says:
1T has been adjudged that Con-
gress by legislation, and so far as
the people and the authorities of
the United States are concerned.
could abrogate a treaty made be-
tween this country and another
country"
Precedents Cited.

showing the superiority of the law
of Congress over treaties are even
