A beggar among The Parsees is I'M
known In India, and would be a scan
dal to the sect. The sagacity. activity
and commercial enterprise of the Par
sees are proverblal in the East, and
their credit as merchants is almost
unlimited. Because Of intermarriage
the race has dwindled down to $4,000.
and for some time there has been a
serious difference among the Parsees
on the question Of proselytlsm. A
Parsee married French woman. who
took the necessary steps to adopt the
religion Of her husband. But 1t was
decreed by the high court Of india
that. though the creed of Zoroaster
theoretically admitted proselytes.
their admission was not consistent
with the practice Of the Parsees in
India.

Action Of Navy Department in
Releasing 200, Members.

That the security Of the United
States is endangered by the release
by the Navy department OF nearly

force, is the opinion of members Of

Legion, New York, who have adopted

former navy enlisted men and Off
GERS. The post has made a careful
study of naval affairs and has main
tanned a policy favoring complete
naval preparedness.
The resolution points out that with

naval reserve force, the government
lacks sufficient trained men to man

fakers," says Doctor Salmon, who is IA
member of the American Legion Hospi-
talization committee. "Of course there
are such men among those who apply
for relief. But you will find them
everywhere: in business, In colleges,
in politics and even in the churches"
Doctor Salmon, in his plea for com
plete and efficient care of the disabled
men, answers the assertion that there
are 6,000 empty beds in the govern
ment hospitals. He explains that
beds alone cannot cure the disabled
and besides, he says, most of the 6,000
empty beds are needed to constitute
the reserve that every hospital with
an active service needs.
