FAST ENROLMENT
In LEGION POSTS
Kansas City Legionnaires Report Az
erage of TWO Hundred New
Members Daily.

KANSAS, CITY, Mo-, Dec 5.-Two
hundred new members a day has been
the average enrolment of the Ameri-
can Legion posts in Kansas City since
the national convention of the ex-
service organization.
To handle the rush, posts have called
on their women's auxiliaries to set up
booths in the streets. Legionnaires,
working in relays, have laid aside bus
mess to take turns IN the booths.
The membership before the conyen-
tion was less than 5000. Today the
enrolment tops the 5000 mark.
THE international recognition of the
American Legion, shown by the pres
ence of Foeh, Beatty. Jacques and Diaz
at the convention, influenced many ex-
service men to join" explains James
b. Nourse, in charge Of the executive
committee.
Because of the evident pleasure OF
Legionnaires in getting fash can har-
mony" during the convention, the
mayor has requested that any new re-
ceptacles bought be tested for their
musical qualities. Considerable and
noisy notice Of the former ones was
taken because of their resemblance to

SERVICE MEN GET
GOVERNMENT JOBS
BY Executive Order of President, Vet
Grams Who Are Rated Good
Will Be Given Preference

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--Ex-service
men and women will not be thrown out
of their government jobs as long as
they are rated good" by the bureau
of efficiency, according to an interpre-
tation of law which Attorney General
Daugherty has made. The ruling eff
fects $4,000 employees who served dur
ing the war.
BY executive order, President Hard
ing has instructed all government de-
partments to make efficiency ratings.
This action. according to the Ameri-
can Legion here, will make possible
the enforcement of the veteran pref
erence law which up to this time, the
ex- service organization charges, has
been almost completely ignored.
The veteran preference act of June
%. 1912, amended in February, 1916,
provided that in any reduction of the
civil service force, service persons
rated good" were to be retained over
all others. Because efficiency ratings
were never made, however, the law has
not been enforced.

WILL GET BENEFITS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Florida
Will not lost its right to obtain the
benefits of the federal maternity
bilP' through lack of specific provis-
ion by the state legislature for coop
GRAFTON with the federal government
in administration of the act, it was
learned today at the u. S. Childrens'
Bureau which will administer the law.
The state can secure the appropria-
lions and other benefits of the law in
advance of action by the legislature
with the u. S. Children's Bureau
through provision in the act allow
ing the governor to appoint an agency
to cooperate with the federal bureau
until the state legislature has oppor-
tunity to act.
Six states, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Minnesota, New Hampshire. New Mex
leo and South Dakota, in their eager
ness to cooperate with the federal gov
eminent in administering the Ma
ternity bilT' passed laws accepting the
act at the last session of their legis-
latures in advance of the passage of
the act by congress.
The maternity bill provides for fed
eral cooperation with the states in pro-
noting the welfare of maternity and
infancy.
An appropriation of s1.48o,o0o is au-
thorized by this bill for the current
fiscal year, and s1,240,0O0 for each of
the next five years. Except for a very
small percentage to be used for admin
istrative purposes, the money is to be
divided among the states accepting the
provisions of the act, to be used, to-
gether with state funds, for promot-
ing the welfare and hygiene of ma
ternity and infancy
Under this bill each state indicat-
ing its desire to cooperate will be paid
$4,000 for the first year, and $4,000
each year thereafter. An additional
$4,000 will be paid providing the state
appropriates $4,000 of its own for the
same purpose. making a total of s15,-
600 for the first year, and $4,000
year for each year thereafter, avail
able from federal funds to each state
of its size. In addition
S71000 a year is provided to be dis
tributed among the states on the basis
OF population, providing these amounts
are matched by the states. The act
contains specific clauses protecting
their right to liberty of action, and
that the state shall take the
initiative in preparing and carrying
out plans.

How Many Citizens Will
Emigrate From Japan ?


AS is well known, the pretext under
which Japan is pushing her colonial
plantations" is that her home popu-
lation is so overcrowded that it must
be allowed to expand into other peo-
pies lands. In point Of fact, only
about half million Japanese have left
the Japanese archipelago during the
last thirty-five years. If they had all
remained in Japan, her present popu-
lation would be nearly ST. instead of
1913 per square mile In view of the
fact that Japanese emigration during
the last thirty five years has lowered
her present population density only a
per square mile. there does not seem
ground on which to argue that emil
grafton has yet helped materially to
ease Japan's alleged overcrowded con-
dition-at any rate, not in proportion
TO the animosity that Japanese immi-
grafton has aroused in North America
and in Australasia. Furthermore, If
emigration were to be in such volume
as to be really helpful by lowering the
population density of Japan to, say,
200 per square mile it would mean that
&c. GOO 600 Japanese emigrants would
have to be taken care in other lands.
1t seems doubtful if the United States,
Canada and Australasia would be fav-
orably inclined to receiving their quo
tas OF these emigrants. Nor is it
probable that the japanese govern
ment would look favorably on giving
up az per cent of Japans manpower-
unless this expatriated manpower
could be more useful to Japan in our
than in Japan william III.

courage which characterized rs re-
sistance to the conquest OF Spain,
set about to make sure forever that
independence. On the ninth of De-
cember, 1924, in the battle of Aya-
cucho, the Peruvians decisively de-
feated the forces of the Spanish king
and gained for Peru the recognition
which she desired. Seemingly this
battle was the signal for the other
South American countries, which in
quick succession cast off the Span
ish yoke.
Since then Peru has followed a
rapid and upward process. In the
past 40 years it has reached con-
siderable development, which may
be appreciated by the following fig
ures. In 1887, the foreign commerce
of Peru amounted to 2,500,OO0
pounds, in 1901 it reached a total of
100000 pounds and in 1919 it was
$50, 100000 pounds.

declared the independence Of Peru
from Spanish rule and sovereignty
Since the beginning of the nine

grown out of the American Revolu-

Chile from the Spanish rule, and in
unsuccessful movements in Peru. The
former countries obtained their indie
pendence, but Peru remained subject
to Spanish domination.
Knowing that their liberty was
endangered as long as this situation
prevailed, the SoatHeFn. countries of
South America decided to help the
Peruvian patriots to obtain theirs

Babe Ruth isn't travelling fast
enough to reach his goal of SEVEN
TY-FIVE homeruns for Ithe 1921
season.
He will have to hit on an average
of four homers in every seven games
from now on in order TO reach his
mark.
His average per game so far ex.
pressed in decimals is 1921 homers
per game. If he keeps up this pace
he will finish with 81 four-base licks
To hit rs home runs in a sason he
would have to hit .487 homers per
game in 154 games.
But since he is behind this sched-
ule, if he is to reach the goal he set
for himself he will have to hit .5343
home runs per game from no won.
Last season he averaged 1906
homers per game, which Melted him
his new worlds record of sd.
That he will pass his old mark of
50 is almost dead certainty unless
he should be overtaken by accident,
So far he has managed to keep
about 10 days ahead of his last
years schedule.
Right or left handers-it makes no
difference TO the Big BAN. He socks
one variety with as much enthusiasm
and regularity as the other.
Also he has nicked a four-base
drive in every park in the American
League, thus showing that it isn't
the size of the park nor the height
of the walls that are responsible for
his marvellous record.
He made his 35th off of Van
Guilder at St. Louis ON July Is.
The Babe has picked on the De-
troit pitchers most in collecting his
IS. He has piled up eight circuit
socks off 1y Coob's pitching
whips.
Of the other clubs Babe has knock
ed Z off of Boston's FINGERS, 6 off
of Washington, off of st. Louis
and Philadelphia each, 3 off of Cleve-
land and but one off of Chicago's
pale hose slabbists.
His best liked pitchers are Walter
Johnson of Washington, Dauss of De-
triot and Dixie Davis of St. Louis,
getting 3 slams off of each.
The Yanks have "a more games to
play at the Polo grounds-the park
that is made to order for the Bam-
bino's swinging muscles. Besides he
will have an opportunity to rattle the
boards on all the other parks before
the season ends.
Babe bats by spurts like any other
freak. His high run this year, which
is a new worlds record, was T hon.
ers in five consecutive games.
