 Mayor Also Speaks.
 Tn his remarks, the mayor said; l
 ''It is fitting and proper that this gathering of men should give outward evidence of their patriotism and de- votion to ideals and principles. The war is over, but on them still rests the great responsibilities of ever keeping, in the years to come before the minds of the minimizing public, the reasons for which this great nation entered the war.
 To-day we are witnessing the mem- bership of the Grand Army of the Re- public slowly passing away. An in-' fluence as great must supplant it in the affairs of our nation.'
 The delegates were invited from the office of the secretary to visit the Yale buildings, special arrangements hav- ing been made to guide all through the Hardness Memorial quadrangle.
 The final arrangements for the after noon parade were also outlined to the convention. .- j.. ...
 National vice-Commander Banni- < gan responded to the mayor and Thomas w. Miller was the third x speaker He expressed the loyalty of the Legion in these words:

 These bonds formed as result of the great war mean more to me than college bonds.'' MT. Miller. who is : alien property custodian, is a Yale man. t
 Later, in the session MT. Miller ad- dressed the delegates, demanding bet ter and more complete hospital facil- ities for tte sick and wounded. He said that the country has not yet learned the lesson of Americas par ticipation in the war. Said he:
 "If public opinion will become aroused it will not be necessary for disabled saviours of our land to fight the government and its bureaus for what they so richly and justly deserve by sentiment aS we'll as by law"
