SHALL GIRLS BE ADMITTED?
Membership Question Looms Before
Officials of Legion-some ~"
Workers Present Claims

A recurring question before the Off
cials Of the American Legion is that
of eligibility to membership. Just
where is the line TO be drawn? Shall.
for instance. those little sisters of the
army" the "Y" girls be admitted to
full membership?
Although at present they stand with
out the pale there are some who be
lieve they should be taken in. Some
OF the girls themselves have very
modestly presented their claims. The
following is an excerpt from letter
from Miss Sallie Lou Massey Of Meri-
dian. Miss. to the national com
mander:
II am just one OF hundreds of "
girls at home now, wearing pretty
clothes which don't seem quite right
after having worn the uniform. In
France we cooked. kept house. handed
out magazines and papers and danced
hundreds Of kilometers we danced
all of which isn't so much, l know. but
the spirit behind IL made us feel that
we belonged TO Nthe men Of the A. r.

radeshlp been shed with the uniformf

MEDAL OF HONOR SAVED HIM
New Jersey Legion Member Escapes
Jail Sentence by Display OF
His Emblem.

Sentimental considerations left out
~ the reckoning. Frank. Sadowski an
American Legion member of Newark.
N. j., found out the other day that n
Congressional Medal Of Honor is a
handy thing TO have.
Sadowski works In the day time and
sleeps at night. That is. he had been
sleeping Of nights until a couple Of
loving cats began a noisy courtship on
his back fence Sadowski stood IL as
long as he could and then went down
in his old barracks bag and dragged
out the trusty automatic he carried in
France. The cats became casualties
aud Sadowski became a prisoner OF
the law and was hailed into court
charged with disturbing the peace.
The evidence was all against him
and he was about to be sentenced
when. inadvertently. he mentioned
that he once killed six Germans sin
gle handed and captured their machine
gun with the same revolver with which
he routed the yowlIng cats. For this
feat he won Americas highest war
honor. and string Of lesser medals.
He produced the medals as proof and
the Judge let him on.

feet might not be divided by voyage
Of weeks from the east TO the west

canal, fighting all the time against per-
petual heat, almost perpetual rain,

and returned home but others STAYED

SECOND GROCERY
 DAMAGED BY FIRE

Fire for the second time in two consecutive nights damaged a local grocery store when the store of c. L. White, Harkrider and Chestnut street, was partially destroyed shortly after 2 o'clock last night Practically the entire rear end of the frame building was burned out and the stock was badly damaged. The loss is partially covered by insurance.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. White stated he had been out of the building only about 30 minutes and was eating supper in his home ad- joining the store. The odor of smoke caused h.m to make an investigation and he found the rear end of the store building in flames. The fire was got ten under control by a stream of water from garden hose before the city fire truck arrived. Chief Dickerson used his chemical tanks and finished eXtinguishing the blaze.

HUME TOSURRENDER
 BEFORE NIGHT
(BY United Pressk

Paris, Dec. 27.-With Italian troops closing in on Plume, Gabrielle dAnnunzio, d insurgent warrior, is eX- pected to take flight from the port today by airplane. General Caviglia and his troops are already on the out skirts of the city and have advanced without opposition of material na- ture. D'Annunzio's airplane is ready to bear him from the city, and many of his closest friends and heutenants have already fled.
 Five Italian troops, members of a truce party sent to Plume, were shot down and 40 wounded when D'Annun- zio's men fired The truce part had approached the outskirts of the city to make one last appeal to the in- surgent to submit to the Italian gov ernment. The defenders of the city opened fire before the party could eX- plain it's errand.
 A tense situation has been created through the carnage done to the truce party in violations of rules of war fare. More bloodshed is expected to result should d'Annunzio refuse to surrender and order his troops to fight

LABOR HOUSED BY OPEN SHOP,
 CUT IN WAGE
tBy United PresO


 Washington, Dec. 27.-Organized labor may immediately demand con gressional investigation of wage cuts, efforts by employers to establish the open shop industry and the cost of living.
 It was learned today that repre- sentatives of textile workers are in consultation with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, for formulation of the de- mand to be made of congress. Rail road unions have also presented to the federation chief their charges of un- fair treatment by operating com panies.
 Labor in general regards with ap- prehension the concerted effort by em- ployers to establish the open shop and receive non-union labor on an equality with union members. Reduction of wages is also said to greatly stir organized labor.

Washington, Dec. 27. - Senator Hitchcock, minority leader today open ed the fight or Democratic senators against the Fordney emergency tariff bill, already passed by the house and now before the senate The minority moved that the bill be referred to the committee on commerce instead of the committee on finance, declaring that it is virtually an embargo and not 9 revenue measure.
 Senator Hitchcock warned the sen- ate of the danger of placing an em- bargo on exports. He declared that other nations would retaliate and American imports would be stopped, Democratic senators are pledged to de- lay the measure long enough to ac- complish its defeat.
