A pledge that the future policy Of

department would be to include in it's
welfare work all veterans of the World
War, whether members of the Legion
or not, was made yesterday by State
Commander William T. Deegan, Of the
Bronx, in his first statement since his
election by The convention at James
town last Saturday.
Commander Deegan returned from
Jamestown last night with his dclega-
ton from Bronx County. He Will take
over the state headquarters in Room
302, Hall of Records, early to-day aud
begin a process OF reorganization he
plans for the cood of the Legion and
to conform with the requirements Of
the new budget.
The rev commanders statement.
made yesterday to the American
Legion editor OF The Tribune en- route
from Jamestown, follows:
II assume the duties OF the com.
membership of the Now York State De
partrnent cf the American Legion with
the utmost confidence that snail re-
celve the earnest cooperation of its
members. The enthusiasm manifested
ct the state convention for every meas
ure proposed for the welfare of the
veteran and the good of the country
promises splendid things for the future.
"Our thoughts are directed toward
the welfare not only Of American Lc-
glon members, but Of all veterans y,
the World War, whether they have vet
enrolled in our ranks. I hope that be-
fore the year Is out we shall have upon
our membership rolls practically every
veteran of the war in New York State.
We must all fight under the banner of
one grand organization if we are to
achieve the great objects which we
have in view. Our efforts must not
be sporadic. They must be consistently
directed by thoughtful leadership
which will appeal to the American
people.
al shall give my first thought to our
disabled comrades. They are entitled
to the best care that the nation and
state can afford. AS state commander
intend to carry cut the desire ex-
pressed by our state convention to
continue the Investigation Of the treat
pent accorded to disabled men in hos
pitals.
Il shall visit as many posts as I can
but, of course, it is easy to understand d
how limited my opportunities will be
in this respect. The major portion of
my time will necessarily be occupied
In the administration of my duties st
state headquarters, where I intend to
stick to the job of helping to make the
Legion greater in numbers and inf1u-
ence."

Charlie Chaplin was there Never be-
fore have we seen so many double ex-
"The Idlo Class" the new picture,
which Charlie made all by himself,
having written and directed it. Mr..
Chaplin is gradually coming around to
the point where he can play Romeo
without having any one surprised.
In the new picture, one half Of him
are comedy roles. On the program he
is billed as "The Tramp" and "Thc Alb
sent inded Husband" He has lots of
scenes with himself, but the use of a
double is quite simplihed by the fact
that the absent minded husband
sncezes just rs he is about to attend
a masquerade ball attircd in full
dress suit Of armor and the head
piece shuts up and locks The tramp
finally cxtricatcs the husband with a
can opener, but not until Edna
Ecr ucalcitrant husband. The badge
Of his calling is not unnaturaly taken
for an eccentric costume.
Another cnse OF lady who didn't
know her own husband.
"Thc Idle Class" is quite different
from anything Chaplin has done, and
we like it better than anything, cx-
cepting "Shoulder Arms and "Thc
Kid"
On our way out we heard at least
ono hundred persons cxclaim, "You
know. | think Charlie Chaplin is an
artist" as though they had just dis
covered something.
The story which Mrs. Otis Skinner
wrote as a one act play, "Thc Nc'er
to Return Road" has been made into
picture by Selig Rork and is pre-
sentcd by Educational Films. 1t is a
narrowing but interesting story of an
escaped convict, who was helped on
his way by the mother of the boy
whom he had accidentally killed in a
quarrel over "the lady they called
Lou" We are not acquainted with
all Of the screen mothers, but Mar
garet McWadc was new to US. We
like her.
Wallace Becry is Convict 1896 and
Margaret Lands. Jack Mulhall and
Walt Whitman completed the cast.
There are also on the picture prog.
ram one of Grantland Ricc's interest
ing sport pictorials, Bob and Bill

Rarebt Fiend." The overture is "Cap-
riccio Italian" Richard Hale sings

The program was chiefly devoted to

by way of variety.

Ring Titles Pass on-Not Back

When Joe Lynch beat him last
winter In Madison Square Garden he
did it fair and square.
Herman stood open-mouthed and
crest-faiien in one corner OF the ring
as the referee raised Lynch's right
hand and proclaimed him the new
bantam king.
Best Fight
It was the best hgth Lynch had
ever put up In his life. He has
never fought as we'll since.
Herman. on the other hand, has
fought some OF his most impressive
fights since the royal toga slipped
from his shoulders.
The New Orleans Italian boy has
made a comeback that is truly re-
markable.
Leaving his crown behind him he
rushed to London and knocked out
Jimmy wilde IN sensational fight.
Since then he has kayoed Jim
Higgins. England's bantam cham
pion. In all his fights since he met
his waterloo at Tex Richards Car
den he has been a new kind OF ring
terror.
New Tactics
The answer Is that he has been
giving his best and then some every
time he puts up his hands. While
he was champ he let the other fell
low do most OF the fighting.
Lynch has had but few matches
since he copped. In these he has
shown only flashes OF the class he
displayed the night he won the title
Yet he has shown enough stun "a

cisions.
When they meet IN Brooklyn next
