the scene of the ceremony Of the

a cross in the center OF the arena,
where martyrs died for the Christian
faith, with Is stations Of the cross
about the hostoric pile.
Each Friday the ancient ampi-
theater witnessed the solemn rite.
The practice was abandoned in 1870
and the stations were removed in
1872 by De Rosa. the archeologist
who explored the strata underlying
the arena.

American Legion ,

Speculation is rife throughout the
various state departments OF The
American Legion as to who will be
elected national commander at the
second annual national convention OF
the organization, to be held In Cleve-
land. Sept 81, % and 20.
While there is no active campaign
ing being conducted. preconvent1on re-
ports on what various states intend
doing indicate the widespread interest
in the forthcoming convention and the
annual election.
Names of four men have gained con-
siderable prominence in connection
with discussion of the next year
leader of the Legion's activities.
Whether or not any of these men will
accept the post is, Of course, matter
of conjecture. Those names which, SO
far, have received most mention, In
, this connection, are: F. w. Galbra1th
of Ohio; Milton J. Foreman, of Illinois
Emmett O'Neill, of Kentucky; Hanford
MacNider, of Iowa.
1t is considered a foregone conclu
! sion that the next commander Will be
selected from the middle-west, west or
south In view of this it is believed
that these four men may be strongly
boosted.

Silk Stockings and
Baby Linen in Army
Stores Worry French
By EDWIN L. JAMES.

New York Times-ChtcagO Tribune Cable,
Copyright 1920.
Paris, May u. = Who in the
American army wore women's silk
stockings? Who among Pershing's S
braves needed baby linen3
These are two questions agitating
Paris today. These articles have
been found at Gievres in American
military stocks sold to the French
government. M. Emmanuel Brosse,
in charge of liquidation stocks. has
asked representatives of the Paris
Department. stores to have a look
at these articles and he is more in
terested in their good quality than
in reasons for their presence at
Gievres.
OF course it is barely possible
these articles belonged to the Red
Cross or Y. NJ. c. A. stores. which
were transported with the military
supplies, but caustic writers of the
Paris press do not investigate this
angle of the situation.
They point out that none of the
American officers or men wore silk
stockings and argue that it is quite
interesting that the American War
department would go so far in time
of stress as to promote good rela-
tons between visiting Americans
and their acquaintance in France.
As for baby linen. Paris writers
admit the question becomes COM
.plicated.

WESTERN RAILWAY
CHIEF REQUESTS
RATE INCREASE
Great Western President Says
Boost Necessary to Keep
Pace With Business.

Washington, May 27. = Opening
the case of western railroads., re-
questing a "a per cent increase in
freight rates, S. M. FELTON,, president
of the Chicago & Great Western
railway, told the Interstate Com
merce commission today that addi-
tional returns were needed by the
carriers to keep pace with business
and serve the public welfare.
Ability to handle the expected ca
pacity production of American in
dustries, Mr.. FELTON, said, is only
possible if. through the investment
of new capital, the railways are en-
abled to increase their mileage and
improve their facilities.
Final testimony for the railways
of the eastern and southern terri
tories was presented and it is ex-
pected that the carriers will con-
clude their direct statements tomor-
row, after which recess for a week
to enable shippers to prepare for
cross-exaInination will be taken.
After account and traffic experts
have concluded the case for. the
western roads, Columbus Halle, vice
president of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas railroad, plans to petition
the commission to gran. carriers of
the southwest an increase of rates
of 32.82 per cent and adjustments
distinct from the official western
classification, of which they are a
part
