Brave Men Who Served in

The American Legion begins TO look

Yankee Doodle" with uIulant yell

is a token of great trust, and the old
Roman legions, and other legions of
time begin TO look like pop-gunS. 1t
neither tries to roar with a lions heart,
nor win a womans-Quite different
from the pomaded mustaches of Pots

DRY is excellent; its emotions are
strong, ard it is prepared TO roll al
the refractory elements in one bundle
and hang them on one hook.
without a proclamation. an agita-
ton or unloosing a pack of schemes,
it has created civil prestige TO match
its military splendOr. Old soldiers of
all ages and all lands are prone TO
harp on one string. but the tramp of
the Legion is in time and tune with
all the chords of throbbing life. 1t is
not merely handsome clay in uniform;
but sinewed in manhood from its toes
to its brains. It has that delightful
mixture of sense and spirit, of power
and chivalry, of shop and farm, which
tickles the popular taste. It neither
beats over its woes nor boasts of its
prOwess.
when the mighty military machine

MONEY KINGS MEET
At White HOUSE
MEETINGS OF BEST FINANCIAL
MINDS INAUGURATED BY
PRESIDENT HARDING.
CREDIT TO EUROPE URGED
}. p. Morgan, Paul Warburg and Many
Others Attend Dinner-Ways and
Means to Establish Normally
Discussed.

Washington.-A meeting of the best
financial minds" has been inaugurated
by the president and his advisers as a
means of considering the nations in
dustrial outlook with particular refer
ence to the question OF extending
further loans of American capital to
foreign governments.
Some of the most prominent fig
ures in American finance and indus
try already have given the president
the benefit of their knowledge on
specific problems affecting the finan-
cial world and in the near future 9th
ers are to be called to the White
House to consult on ways and means
to stabilize conditions and hasten
the return to normaicy."
The foundation for a series of dis
cussions on these subjects was laid
at a White House dinner, the signifi-
canoe and detail of which became
known for the first time.
With Secretary Mellon Of the treas
ury and Secretary Hoover of the
Commerce Department, the president
had as his guests for the occasion J.
p. Morgan, Paul Warburg and half
dozen other men of great influence
and power in financial circles.
Whether TO encourage further loans
of private American capital to for
eign governments was one of the
questions most seriously considered,
with most of the financiers arguing
that such extensions of. credit pre-
senteds the most practicable means to
nj
basis once more and thus to improve
the field for American exports. This
question already has received much
attention by the cabinet.
Some of the visiting bankers, it
was said, expressed concern over the
possibility of funds raised in this
country by foreign bond issues being
used to buy the products of other
foreign countries. The, belief was adj
vanced that use of American money
in such a manner would result I'M
favorably to domestic industry, espe-
cially farming.
On the other hand, it was pointed
out in some administrative quarters
today that purchase of Argentine
wheat by foreign buyers with money
borrowed in this country, for example,
would assist that country's business
and the money would eventually find
its way back into the United States
in trade between these nations.
Administration officials, however,
discounted reports that American
money was to be used to any extent
in foreign markets by foreign borrow
ers. Most of the funds to be raised
here, it was asserted, would be used
to retire or fund existing government
indebtedness here.

bers and to the state. In carrying out
this policy he has built up a Legion
Service bureau which handles one
thousand ex-Service claims a month
and a department branch of the
American Legion News Service.
Early in 1921. when the Federal
board for vocational education pre-
pared to send representatives to six
teen centers in the state TO examine
disabled veterans, the authorities
were handicapped by a lack of pub
hcity. Commander Vernon prepared
twenty thousand large posters and
placed them on every billboard in the
state. This was supplemented with
information TO every newspaper in re-
gard TO where every disabled man
should report TO receive compensation,
vocational training and medical treat
ment.
When an unexpected number of
veterans enlisted for vocational train
ing. Mr.. Vernon appealed to 10000
business men to place the men in their
establishments. The merchants and
manufacturers responded with a good
will and all the vocational students
were placed to good advantage.

Defendant In Eviction Suit Given De-
cision BY ST. Louis Judge.
st. Louis, Mo.-The st. Louis Rent
Relief League, an organization of ten
ants, won its first case in its fight
against evictions and unreasonable
rents. The victory was in a ruling by
Justice of the Peace Moore, who de-
cided in favor of Mrs. Lucia Beck, de-
PENDANT in an eviction suit. The
league furnished Mrs. Beck counsel,
who argued the eviction order was not
legal because it did not contain the
name of the present owner, who pur-
chased the property after the order
had been served on Mrs. Beck. Mrs.
Beck was ordered from the premises
last November, but was unable, she
said, to find a vacant house, and the
suit resulted. Counsel for Mrs. Beck
told the court the purpose of the
league is to stop if it can, the monar-
chial. dictatorial and brutal manner in
which tenants are being run about
