CLEVELAND, O., Sept 23-Thir-
ty thousand former service men are
expected to attend the second annual
convention of the American Legion
here on September 27, % and 20.
The convention, which will take up
problems of nation wide interest, will
reunions of divisions and smaller
units. Visitors will include many dis
tinguished men.
A parade on the opening day is to
be one of the features of the gath
ering. All of the Legionnaries will
march. Sixty bands will furnish the
music. The size of the parade is ex-
pected to freshen memories Of the
veterans Of the time when the French
peasants stood at roadsides to watch
the men of the American Expedition
ary Force marching to the front.
There will be big questions to de-
eide. Among the chief of them is that
of the attitude of the Legion toward
bonus for the 100000 members of
the Legion, and the question of a
drive to bring every eligible eX-serv-
ice man within the fold. The aim of
such campaign, leaders state, would
be to make the Legion the most pow
erful, non-partisan, uneslfish force in
American affairs.
While various state departments
of the Legion will submit other reso-
lutions for action by the national
body, the following II matters are ex-
pected to receive the most attention:
An Americanization program; hav-
ing for its purpose the assimilation
of the nations alien population and
aiding immigrants in learning Amer
ican ideals, history and customs.

own churches, it's own schools, orphan
ages, and hospitals. Even small chill
drent of the different nationalities
cannot be put together without SER
ious friction. American relief work
ers who have been trying to assist re-
fugees of all races, regardless of re-
ligion, find the task almost impossible.
Armenians complaint if the Turks are
fed. Greeks allege favoritism to Ar
menians and the relief committees of
the various races and religious heads
take up the walls of individuals and
waste the time of relief administrat-
ors in considering petty quarrels.
Broadly speaking, foreign relief
workers have little to say for the
adults of any race in Turkey, but pin
their fiaht to the children and urge
childwelfare work and education as tho
most hopeful fields in this land Of
hate. Foreign relief workers who
came to Turkey expecting to find,
gentle Christian minorities had rude
awakening. The Greek and Armenian
bandits and outlaws are just as wild
as the Mohammedan bands. Relief
workers have learned that christian"
means man who is not a Moslem 1t
is political term, and does not neces-
sarily imply that the man SO designat-
ed practices the ten commandments.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 49,
Foreigners, or so-called foreigners,
are enjoying great commercial pros
perity in Turkish cities, especially in
Constantinople. Turkish officials have
been easily corrupted. Business men
who were not too scrupulous in their
methods have found Turkey a profit
able field.
In spite of all the propaganda which
has been circulated about the apprc-
priation of Christian property by Mo-
hammedans, the stubborn fact remains
that Greeks and Armenians own a
disproportionate part of the best
business property on the prominent
streets in Constantinople and many of
them have been more successful at
war profiteering than Turks.
The leading hotel of Constantinople
is owned by a Greek who made great
fortune selling supplies to the Ger
man army. He has invested his money
in hotels in various parts of Europe.
The Constantinople hotel cost him
$350,000 year ago. In single year
the hotel has paid for itself. He
charges SO day for single small
room without bath and the cost of
meals is in proportion. The only other
hotel run On European lines is owned
by an Armenian, and his prices are
equally high.
Turkish officials are not permitted
to regulate prices. The Germans did
it when they were in control of Con-
stantinople. But the entente high
commissions make little attempt to
check profiteering because such eff
forts only intensity the friction which
exists between the various missions.
Constantinople is really group of
religious principalities, which are
more political than religious, and ac-
knowledge the authority of no gov
ernment. The Greeks are under their
patriarch, the various religious faiths
of the Armenians have their patriarch
and the Jews have grand rabbi. All
these races hate each other nearly as
much, apparently, as they do the
Turks. Westerners are unable to
comprehend the hatred in which the
rival nationalities of the Levant have
stewed for centuries. Entente high
commissioners now have some appre-
citation of the task Turkish officials
had in trying to administer such mixed
populations.

The bill provides a special fund
