A BANKERS ADVICE

There is good deal of talk in
the air to the effect that wage
are scheduled for a decided drop.
In that connection Roger II.
Williams, vice president of the
National Bank of Commerce,
says in a public speech:
1--WE hear in some directions
business men saying that labor
had its swing while prices were
high and labor was scarce, and
that now the turn of the employ
er is coming and they intend to
take full revenge. This may be
human nature, but it is a most
sinister aspect of it.
Revenge is rarely profitable
and at this time such an attitude
would be little less than a public
calamity.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

NO patriotic organization in
the history of the world has made
such rapid strides in growth as
has. the American Legion.
Scarcely out of it's infancy the
Legion will no doubt have mem
bership of 1000, 900 in the next
few months. Already 5000 posts
have been established, with New
York in the, lead with 851 posts
Pennsylvania second with 522;
Illinois third with 494. Iowa, 427;
Minnesota, 400; Ohio, 357; Michi-
gan. 256; Indiana, 247; Massa-
chussetts, 245, and New Jersey
with 244, and so on down the
line, until at the present there is
hardly a village or a hamlet in
chs United States that does not
possess its post or at least fair
representative of members.
Originally, the Legion ives
founded in France, on the battle
fields Of Flanders where so many
white crosses mark the resting
place of those noble lads who
gave their all that democracy
might survive and autocracy
perish.
On February 18th, twenty
American officers who had as
sembled in Paris to discuss con-
ditions of the American Ex-
Evolutionary Forces, met in the
lnter-Allied Club and there dis.
cussed the possibilities of an
after-war organization that would
bind together more closely the
associations of the American
forces and to look after the well
fare Of the soldiers and sailors
after the war. The decision was
made at this meeting that the or
sanization would be founded and
was to include everyman in uni
form. whether he was overseas
or in domestic service.

far beyound what is necessary.
1t serves to reduce working
morale and to cause antagonism
between sections of the business
community, who may differ in
the part they play in our busi-
ness life, but do not differ in
common welfare.
Growing unemployment and
lowered wages have created a
fear on the part Of many that
their buying power is going to
be drastically reduced. They are
struggling to get along with
their old belongings rather than
to buy news ones, apprehensive
that later on they will need every
cent they can save in order to
make sure of obtaining life's
necessaries.
1T viii very materially aid the
orderly readjustment now under
way, if business sees to it that a
reasonable relation is maintained
between the reduction in the
buying power of the wage group
and the reduction in the high
cost of living.
Real wages mean promoting
the general prosperity, main
taing which affects us all.
The American wage-earning
public will not be contented to
accept a lower scale of living
than it has become used to.

The brilliant event was not without
elements of disappointment for the
bridal pair. First, they encountered
the greatest difficulty in securing a
clergyman willing to offciate at to-
days ceremony. Then a great number
OF those invited failed to appear.
Wright was finally induced to con-
duct the services after personal ap-
peaIs by many of Miss Deacon's
friends who pleaded that the Boston
girl would be disgraced IL he refused.

such appeals in which the pleaders

obviously moved solely by sympathy
for the bride.
The difficulty in obtaining clergy
man willing to ofriciate at the cere-
mony was due to the strong prejudice
against divorce still existing among
many sections of the French people
and clergy. In this case that senti-
ment was aggravated by the fact
that the Duke of Marlborough's pre-
vious matrimonial yenture-with
Consuelo Vanderbilt-had been drag
ged into the courts under circum-
stances not devoid of scandal.
Col. craighton Webb, a relative Of
the former Duchess OF Marlborough,
was among the guests.
SO great were the crowds that tried
to catch a glimpse of the famous head
of the house Of Marlborough and the
second American girl taking his title
In marriage that special police had to
be called out to preserve order. The
whole Place dIena, where stands the
mansion of Eugene Higgins. cousin
of Miss Deacon, was black with spec
tators, mostly English and Americans.
Scores scrambled over Washington's
monument. in the center of the famous
square, to get vantage view OF the
