SCHEMES TO COLLECT DUES
Novel Methods Are Being Employed
to Induce Legion Members TO
Pay 1922 Assessment.

Novel means employed by American
Legion posts to get in membership
dues early In 1922 are causing COM
ment in every community where a
post is located, according to reports
TO Legion national headquarters In In
dianapolls.
Around the top Of the list is the
story from South Dakota. A post Is
offering each service men who pays
his dues before set date biscuit
baked by the newest bride in the
post women's auxiliary. Three Of the
biscuits being distributed contain
cash prizes In coin--$20, $40 and So
in gold. The biscuits may not be
broken open until the night Of the post
banquet when they will serve as cards
of admission. Early recipients Of bis
cults declared they could not Judge
from their weight whether they con-
tained gold pieces or bricks.
Out in Kansas post gave its
finance officer carte blanche In collect
ing 1922 dues early. A few mornings
later Legionnaires were being routed
out Of bed at 4 a. m. by members Of
the committee who refused to let the
slumberer go back to bed until he had
paid up. The various state depart.
ments Of the Legion are In hot con-
test for the honor Of being the first
to send in the complete dues Of the
membership.

guest of the American Legion.
More than s,5OOOoo Allied veterans
now have assembled under the leader
ship Of the inter-allied federation, and
a meeting OF the allied soldiers OF all
countries will be held in Paris soon.
Representing American ex-service men,
the Legion will send a strong repre-
sentation to the conference.
Bertrand served as an infantryman
in the French army from the beginning
of the war to its close. He was wound
ed several times and severely gassed,
and his company was replaced with
fresh drafts on thirty different oc-
casions, so disseminated was 1t In the
fierce engagements into which 1t was
thrown. The senator likewise is head
Of the French veteran society made
up exclusively Of men wounded in ac-

In the formation Of the inter-allied
veterans association, Bertrand. has
made frequent trips to italy, England,
Roumania and other allied countries.
On his first trip to the United States
he was the only civilian in the dis
tingulshed company of Marshal Foch,
Admiral Beatty, General Dlaz and
Gen. Baron Jacques to receive the
American Legion's gold medal for dis
tinguished service.
