Bind Ties Closer

New Orleans, Sept. 11-Closcr ties
between world war fighters Of allied
nations are expected to be formed
during the third international CON
Vention Of the Federation Interna-
tionale deS Anciens Combattants, or
the Interallied Veterans Federation,
to be held in New Orleans during the
second week of October. just before
the American Legion national con-
vention.
The Federation had it's inception
in November 1920, when representa-
tives of the large veterans societies
of the allied nations met in Paris.
Authorized delegates from the United
States, France. the British Empire,
Italy. Belgium, Czecho- Slovakia,
Roumania and Serbia (now Jugo-
Slavia attended. The present con-
stitution was drawn up and adopted
for the purpose of maintaining apart
from political tendencies the bonds of
fraternal comradeship forged be-
tween allied combattants on the bat
tlefields."
Charles Bertrand. member of the
French chamber of deputies, was ell
ected president at the first conven-
ton; Cabot Ward. Of the American
Legion, was named first vice-presi-
dent. One delegate from each of the
nations was chosen as a member of
the executive committee.

England, Czecho- Slavia, Roumania

velts reply made public by the latter,
follow in part:
My dear Mr.. Secretary:
AT a meeting Of the Executive
Committee of the Navy League of
the United States. it was decided to
set apart Il day to be known as Navy
Day, to be observed throughout the
country with appropriate ceremonies
The day proposed is the last Friday
in October.
THE Navy League, as you know,
IS a civilian organization, founded
for the purpose Of promoting a more
general knowledge of the navy. The
people should be informed in every
detail as to what their navy is doing
for them. for it is on them that the
navy depends for its support.
"Thc navy has splendid record
Of which our people may justly be
proud. 1t is our great defensive
weapon and has never caused a war.
It has been potent factor, through
out its history. in preserving peace.
The navy itself earnestly worked 10

cent Limitation of Armament Con-
ference.
above these considerations, how
ever, the navy is a great and potent
factor for the development and aid
of our people during peace time. /
do not believe the farmers and manu-
facturers of this country realize how
closely the navy is interviewer with
their every day affairs. The navy is
interlocked with many great benevo-
lent associations, such as the Red
Cross, Y. NJ. c. A., knights of Col
umbus. Jewish Welfare Board, Navy
Relief, Near East Relief and others.
These great humanitarian organiza-
tons that care for the needs Of the
sick and the poor. always assume
as a part of their duty. aid for those
who are in our naval service.
Every year thousands OF young
men return TO civilian life after a
term OF service in our navy. These
young men are better citizens in every

way, for, in addition to the love of
country which is inculcated through
service to the nag, they have been
practically fitted by work in many
diverse occupations TO earn their live
lihood.
Through Navy Day we propose to
inform the people not only Of what
their navy has done for them in its
glorious past achievements. but also
of what their navy is doing from day
to day, and Will do for them in the
future.
1T is the earnest desire Of the
Navy League to secure the cOopera-
ton of the Navy Department and the
Navy. The participation of the navy
in the celebration of Navy Day in
any way You may Sugg 1t, VIII be
cordially appreciated.
Yours very truly,
(signed) +. J. Kelley"
Honorable Theodore Roosevelt,
Acting Secretary Of the Navy,
Washington, ID. &.
my Dear Mr.. Kelley:
II want to thank you for your
letter. Your idea is sound in every
way. / think it particularly good be-
cause Of the certain physical condi-
tons we have in the country. The
people of the scaboard are reasonably
familiar with the navy. They sec the
great ships. They know the navy
men. In the interior of our country,
it is, however, a different story. The
people of Kansas and Oklahoma do
not get. the opportunity for first
hand information that their fellow
countrymen Of California and New
York do. They do not realize that
the navy serves them equally with
the people of the seaboard. / hope
you will make a special endeavor to
familiarize the citizens of our great
inland states with the every day SER
vice their navy does for them.
THE navy will be glad to cooper
ate with you in any way II can.

before Juvigny and later those along
the Tserny-Sorny road to the east.
The work of the regiment and of the
32nd Division, of which the Hath
was 4 part, brought citations by Cen
eral Manguin, commanding the Tenth
French Army and in charge of oper-
ations in the sector.
Other regiments Of the division re-
ceivcd their decorations at the hands
of General Manguin. but through an
oversight the 147th was left out.
There were four artillery regiments
in the division, and this being I'M
known to the official who made pro-
vision for the decoration ceremonies,
only three regiments were ordered to
participate. When it was discovered
that no provision had been made to
decorate the Hath colors, the French
government communicated with the
United States secretary of war. When
negotiations We're completed the reg
iment was back home and demobil-
lied The decorations for the regi-
mental colors and for Colonel Wales
were forwarded to the secretary of
war, who has instructed General
Pershing to confer the decorations.
William Halle, adjutant general of
South Dakota, who served as lieu
tenant colonel of the 147th during the
war, will participate in the ceremon-
les and has invited all former men,
bers of the regiment and all former
service men in the state to attend.
The regiment was organized in Oc-
tober, 1917. The regiment was then
III camp at Camp Greene. Charlotte,
n. c. as part of the Fourth South
Dakota Infantry. Two batteries of
the regiment were of the Oregon
National Guard, the balance being
South Dakota men and requirements.

as possible, to copy the European
idea of national registration for auto
mobiles.
1t has been suggested, according to
Commissioner Enright, that it might
be possible for the chiefs, working
together in the larger cities to pro-
duce an international rogue's gallery
which will be invaluable. Finger
prints would be taken and classified,
and copies would be exchanged by
the heads of departments under the
proposed system.
Because of enabling legislation that
would be required by different gov
crnments, it was pointed out that it
would be practically impossible to
evolve an official international police
out of the conference. But the plan
is to talk over all the situations in
,olved, and then to cooperate in per-
fecting any plan which is accepted
by the men in session. The confer
ence held in the Waldorf-Astoria,
will continue for a week. Mayor
Hylan called the convention to order
and Commissioner Enright made the
keynote" speech.
