Plan to Reduce Number
Of Delegates to County
Convention in Interest
of Harmony Proposed
Call Sent Out for State
Meeting in Albany on
Sept. 10 and III; River
Ships Offer Low Rates

Recommendations are to be made to
the New York County Committee Of
the American Legion at it's meeting
in the Hotel Pennsylvania tomorrow
night, it is understood, which, If adopt
ed, will make of the forthcoming county
convention a constructive and friction
less assemblage
A committee composed of James w.
Blackwell, 308th Infantry Post; Harold
NJ. Schwab, Manhattan Naval Post.
and Ray C. Sawyer, Semper Fidelis
Post, was appointed recently by County
Chairman Henry w. Buxton for the
purpose of taking up the questions of
and fixing a date. At meeting yes
terday definite decisions were reached
by this committee and they will be
presented to the county committee
tomorrow evening.
To begin with, q recommendation
will be made that each post be repre-
sented by delegate for each twenty
five members OF fraction thereof. This
will reduce the number materially from
that of last year, when there were so
many delegates the business of the con-
AS there are about $4,000 paid-up men,
bers in the county, this will mean a
convention of approximately GOO dele
gates.
The date will be some evening in
early August, so that sufficient time
will elapse between the county and
state conventions. Three tentative
dates have been chosen, one of which
will be selected by the county COM
mittee.
Another recommendation that Is
almost certain to meet with approval
is that a committee be named forth
with the duty Of which shall be to
receive from all posts any resolutions
they may desire to have presented
before the convention. This will give
the committee time to deliberate on the
resolutions, so that they will be ready

sending out call for the annual con-
vention of the Department of New

this state may again rank third or
fourth.
Reliable authority has it that Illinois
now is the banner state of the Legion
numerically, SO far as paid up member
ships go. As for the number of vet
Grams enrolled, New York is unques-
tionably in the van. There are 100000
members of the Legion in New York
State. Of these only $4,000 have paid
their dues. AS there will be a delegate
to the national convention in Cleve-
land in September for each 1000 paid
up members this state will have only
20 delegates, instead of 10O unless the
posts pay up. This balance of 35 votes
may mean much more than is apparent
on the surface.
In greater New York's FIVE counties
only, $4,000 members are paid up. Al
most an equal number are not. The
reason for this may be that the dues
were increased, virtually requiring the
payment of two dues in one year. But
the fact remains that New York's
strength lies with the unpaid

MOTHERS DAY

Tomorrow will be observed throughout the coun-

proprae observance of the occasion in the churches
The founders of the day, and custom, have or
dained that flower in the buttonhole as
suitable token of the respect, venerGtion and love
he bears for her who down into the valley of
the shadow of death that he might have life on
earth-a red flower by him whose mother lives and
q white by him whose mother has joined the great,
silent majority beyond this vale of tears.
1t is fine thing to set apart a day in the year
as a tribute to the mothers of the race, for most
that is good in the world received its inspiration
from the mothers of those who have labored make
the world better The mothers life from the be-
ginning is one of sef-sacrifce. Through suffering
she brings children into the world and through
denial and love and painstakng care and attention
to the minute details she guides them through the
uncertainties of youth until they able care for
themselves. If they wise and fortunate they
learn from mothers example of self-denial and self
sacrifice that it is not well live alone for self
lhey learn from the sweet charitableness and
tolerance of the mother who had to bear with so
that it is impossible to expect perfection that if is
very comforting to forgive and do good no matter
what befals. Those who have learned the lesson
have laid the foundation for usefulness good citi
zenship, for helpfuness to the race.
1t has been said that one can pay the debt
due mother except that in turn rears chill
dren and bestows upon them the thought and care
and love which was received Certain it is that
one who has done that realizes in full measure the
true significance of Mothers Day.

It's aspirations is declared not to be opposed to

The appearance, at Washington, of a Canadian
minister will be followed, it is predicted, by the

Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India.
If any all of the selfgoverning British Do

country should object.
and Great Britain If there is agreement in the
Empire this course reason suggests itself that
would justify refusal, the part of America, to

There is question to the stability of the
Canadian government. Any minister who might
be named would be the spokesman for a government

That this procedure constitutes innovation in
