NATIONAL CHAPLAIN OF AMERICAN LEGION
 OFFERS TO MARRY LEGIONAlRES FREE OF CHARGE DURING KANSAS CITY CONVENTION

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Aug. 16.-Be- cause he believes that marriage of the right sort is the best thing that can happen to worthy ex-service man." the Rev. John w. Inzer, na- tional chaplain of the American Le. zion, has offered to marry without cost all Legion men who visit the third annual national convention of the organization at Kansas City, Oc- tober 31. November l and ?.
 The Legion chaplain's offer was made in a letter received by Albert E. Hutchings, convention executive committee chairman. In furtherance of the Rev. Inzer's project, conven- tion officials announced that all ex penses for marriage licenses would be paid by the convention executive committee.
 The Rev. Inzer, who is pastor of the First Baptist Church at Chatta nooga, Tenn, explains his offer in the following letter:
 Recently a a,splendid young ex-sery- ice man from an Eastern city came here with his bride to be married by the national chaplain. I call this Legion loyalty The thought has

come to some of us that there are a number of fellows who might like to be married at the convention by the national chaplain. It would have a touch of romance about it surely shall be glad to perform ceremon- ies absolutely free of charge for all ex-seryice men and their brides dur ing the period of the convention Of course, l would expect any one who had been divorced to show a Scrip tural cause for same.
 'I am firm believer in marriage --one man to one wife. A married ex-service man has more to live fol becomes better citizen and, as a rule, much better man. As some one has said: His sacrifices for his country have made him intensely pa triotic and the acquisition of home and family will eliminate that vague feeling of wanderlust and restless. ness which has troubled so many veterans Of the World War since their discharge from the service It will not bother me to be kept busy half the time if am marrying real Legion lovers to the finest little girl in the world"

IF KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out Your Kidneys and Neutralize
 Irritating Acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness re- suit. from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass 1t on to the bladder, where it often re- mains to irritate and inflame, caus- ing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times dur ing the night. The sufferer Is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with scalding sensa- tion and is very profuse; again, ther is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it. because they can't control urination While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very pain fui, this is really one of the most simple ailments tos. overcome, Get about four ounces of Lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. continue this for two or three days. This will neutralizt the acids in the urine so 1t no longer is a source of irritation to the blad- der and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands ol folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irri- tation. lad Salts is splendid fol the kidneys and causes no bad CT fleets whatever.

Gerhart Hauptmann, who VIGOROUS
~ denies the rumor that he aspires
to become President OF Germany, has
long been classed in the first rank of
dramatic poets, AS long ago as 1898,
when he was only thirty-hye years
old, he was held to be one OF the
foremost figures in German literature.
In 1912 he was awarded the Nobel
prize for literature. He has produced
a long list Of plays, several OF the
best known Of which have been seen
on the American stage. Hauptmann
was born in Silesia adj received his
education at Jena. Soon after leav-
ing the university he became an in
terpreter and leader OF the literary
movement that sprang up in Germany
a few years after the. war with France
in the seventies. His plays immedi7
ately created sensation as they dis
regarded all the. accepted traditions
OF the German stage Since 1890 the
dramatist has brought out q work

Rabbi Stolz Urges Action
to Rescue Jews in Poland

Referring to recent persecution of
Jews in Poland by the Polish people,
and the exodus from that country
where they have lived for many hun
dred years, Rabbi j. H. Stolz Of the
United Hebrew Congregation Friday
night declared the United States
should protest against Poland's course
course, and the League Of Nations
should take firm course in compell-
ing Poland to cease these practices.
The rabbi said in part:
During the late war and immedi-
ately after prophets Of progress and
human betterment exercised their i'm
agination as never before. The events
Of the war that bound nations togeth-
err as never before in a great common
cause would surely lead in days Of
peace to a wonderful future for hu-
manity. The era Of human brother
hood was before US when men Of all
creeds and races could work for the
common uplift.
"As the months passed all this be-
came grand illusion, as nations pro-
Tossing loyalty to each others best
interests have in reality sought their
own self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
"The principle Of the self determin
alton Of nations has found only a one
sided application, and that only when
II could promote the material interests
Of one or more Of the great powers.
Poland A Disappointment.
"The greatest disappointment to my
mind is the cast Of Poland. Poland
whose century and a half Of oppres-
sion and degradation awakened the
sympathy Of all enlightened people,
who gave thousands Of her sons in
fruitless struggles for emancipation,
and at last found n happy release
from the CALLING yoke that was about
to crush her forever more. This same

mankind howl By dedicating herself
to freedoms cause and, IL any within

I'm the light Of her bitter expert
ence Of many decades we expected her
to be the sincerest worshiper at the
altar Of freedom. We see her instead
bowling before the shrines Of mammon
extolling militarism and Imperialism.
"Some hand is abetting her vile de-
signs. See the recent article in the
New Republic, by Felix Frankfurter.
Some one is telling her that she
is big and mighty nation or can soon
attain this distinction. That she has
from her natural position, her resour-
ces, great advantages and possibili-
ties cannot be denied. But she must
grow from within, not from without.
First Of all in view Of the fact that
So per cent Of her population are illit-
crate.
Secondly she must grow in ability
to govern herself, in view Of the little
training her communities have had in
local self government. But perhaps her
politicians see the huge difficulties
that from the start confront an indie
pendent Poland and so from the start
jingoism and chausinism dominate her
spirit.
Commanders are Demagogues.
"Her military commanders have
turned demagogues Of the blacklist
stripe and are flaming the passions Of
the people not only against neighbors
along side her boundaries, but are
arousing them to bitterest hatred and
enmity to n group within. The men,
bers Of n people who have always fol-
lowed the most peaceful callings,
sought always from the moment Of
their admittanee within her gates her
prosperity and contributed nightly

foe, a foreign nation, that must have
no share in the future Poland.
"Poland for the Poles" Is now the
cry. Is there such n thing as a pure
Polish race? Enthnologists are very
little agreed today, as to what consti-
tutes the distinguishing marks Of the
different races, or the meanings Of
the terms, race, nation and people.
