FRANCE, BRITAIN ARM IN-ARM
Delegates to Convention Displayed
FriendIiness That Augurs Well
for Future of World.

One of the most dramatic and i'm
pressive incidents of the second an
nual convention of The American Lee
giOn in Cleveland took place when the
representatives of France and Great
Britain entered the convention hall
arm-in-arm and precipitated an ova-
ton that completely disrupted the
cOnclave for several minutes. The
distinguished visitors were Gen. Ma
RE Emile Fayole of the French army
and Admiral Sir William Lowther
Grant of the British navy. Gen. Leon
ard Wood, who accompanied them.
also received tremendous applause
and was called upon for speech.
When the cheering had subsidized
General Fayolle and Admiral Grant
each delivered an address urging that
there be no misunderstanding between
this country on the one hand and
France and Great Britain on the
other.
81 am acquainted with the high aims
Of your association and with the
great mission The American Legion
has assumed" said General Fayolle.
1T intends to keep piously the glor-
Gus remembrance Of the dead to
help through life all those who came
out Of the fight for liberty, and to
keep In all hearts the sacred love for
YOUR own country which is the spring
VI all civic virtues"
After referring to the close ties of
friendship and esteem which bind
America and France together, he
asked:
"As long as France and America
remain united who, indeed, would
dare henceforth to- disturb the peace
If the wOrld?"
Admiral Grant voiced a similar
thought. ut strikes one as being the
very acme of culpable negligence and
'Oolishness," he said, "if we do not
resist with all our power the efforts
IT a comparatively small number of
nen in our midst to create for their
own purposes bad blood between us"
Discussing the problem of peace.
General Wood declared that 1--WE
don't care rap about party policies"
He appealed to the Legion for a sound
solution of the big national issues
foreign relations, national defense and
adequate provision for the disabled
men and their dependents.

Peat Used as Fuel in Earliest Times


The use of peat as source of heat
goes back beyond the historical period
into the ancient history Of the early
tribes In northern Germany. Pliny,
the Roman naturalist, gives us posi-
bly, the first indication of the use of
peat. He reports that the Teutons on
the border of the North sea dried and
burned mud, what we now would call
peat. In Ireland, GSeat Britain and
Russia, Scandinavia, Germany, Hol-
land and parts of France peat has
been used as fuel since time i'm

"The urchins, catching the infec-
ton of terror from the older black
people, fed to their bedrooms. fell
down upon their faces, crept under
chairs and tahles-anywhere to hide
themselves. Poor old Santa Claus
never had such greeting before. As
soon as he realized the panic he had
aused, he tore of his fall hat and
White cotton beard. Then from the
bags on his back he began to throw
