sneaker favored the spirit that pre-
vailed in 1917 and 1918, and declared
that if that spirit prevailed today the
Legion would have better achieve
ments. Mr.. Price praised the women
for their splendid efforts and untlr-
ing energy during the world war.
The last speaker of the evening and
one of the most entertaining was
Capt. Philip j. Jensen, who is now
a student at the Episcopal Theologi-
cal Seminary and who during the
world war was Captain of the famous
CANADIAN Black Watch.
The speaker in a clear and convinc-
ing manner told of some of the har-
rowing experiences his company went
through during the early days of the
war before America entered the con-
flict. He opened his talk by saying
that the pithy statement on ARMS
tice day made by the governor gener-
al of Canada to Honor the dead by
looking after the living was ms
sentiment. The war veterans he de-
clared have great work to do.
In 1914 Capt. Jensen said he en-
listed in the Canadian Black Watch
and that they lost $4,000 at New
Chapel in two hours being moved
down by the Germans. This ne said
was one of the mysteries of the war
and that somebody Numbered. The
men finally had to 90 at the point of
the bayonet. He described the first
use of the poison gas. The shell work
Of the Prussian guards following by
the gas was told by the speaker and
deadly results therefrom.
Capt. Jensen finally told of how
the Germans came up in mass forma-
ton, which had always been their
custom, and Of how they were moved
down. Out of his company Of 25O
men he said only tn were left and
out of the Cold Stream Guards of
| ,06C only GS returned alive.
The speaker paid a tribute to the
women and to Lady Aston. Conclud-
ing Capt. Jensen said "Our duty IS to
look after the widows and orphans.
The meeting was presided over by
Commander J. Randall Cation. He
said the Legion is trying to create a
new Legion spirit and it was for that
purpose he said that this gathering
was called. He expressed pleasure at

Legion should put the bill on its mer-
its and if the members OF Congress
can't see then they should vote ac-
cording to the dictates OF their own

would pass by an overwhelming maj
GRITTY.
In the opinion of Mr.. Fish it is the
paramount duty of the local post to
see that Jobs are obtained for all eX-
service men out of employment. rms
he declared is one of the best things
a local post can do. The paramount
duty of the national post he asserted
is to take care of the disabled men.
The Legion he said had done more to
secure Justice for the disabled men,
adding were il not for the Legion Con
gress might have failed to take care
of them properly. Concluding the
speaker declared that George Wash

The first speaker of the evening
was H. w. Raeggie, member OF the

tent of our advancement during the
coming year will be dependent upon
the degree of intelligence We employ
in LAYING our plans, the energy and en-
thueiasm that we put forth in carry
ing out those plans, and, most OF all,
the spirit of service that you put be-
hind all your efforts and endeavors
In order TO assure yourself OF de-
veloping a bigger and better business
for 1922 we must adopt a broader
policv. plan a more progressive pro-
cram and boost always in all WAYS.
The breadth of our policy must be
measured by the breadth OF our VS.
ion of service. The speaker here men
toned that the question had often
hen asked what benefits to Alexan-
dria had the Chamber of Commerce
been9 and ne answered by naming
the following accomplishments:
Securing appropriation from Gov
eminent for the dredging of the har-
Dor and filling in of Battery Cove.
Secured the Improvement of King

that was. through North Columbus st.

I'm concluding the speaker said:
at is my belief that We are passing
from the age of competition ana en-
tering upon the age of cooperation,
and. if this be true, then we should
put larger effort for greater CO.
operation. Certainly in the past moth
ing has been gained by fighting, dis
agreeing, contention and strlfe-all
costly but in such organization as the
Retail Merchants Association the
leading minds are advocating and in
culcating the spirit of cooperation;
Progressive retailers have learned
this in Virginia and we are no Ion
ger participating in such, so, there
fore, Boost Always in All Ways the
spirit of co-operation.'

FOREIGN BOTTOMS
GET j. s. TRADE

NEW ORLEANS.-No less than 10
per cent Of the south's cotton sold
for export is being shipped abroad in
American vessels, although the Am
erican rate is six per cent a hundred
pounds lower than that Of foreign
vessels.
This was the declaration of Malcolm
Stewart, manager of the Cincinnati
chamber Of commerce who is on a
speaking tour of the south in behalf
of the American merchant marine as
sociation.
with a possible saving in freight
rates of $l,750 on n shipment of 5000
bales of cotton said Mr.. Stewart,
sit is hard to understand why more
of the crop does not move under the
American flag. The American mer-
chant marine should get at least so
per cent of this business"

Local talent to be successful, must
have an appreciatiye audience.
The Knights of Pythias Minstrel
Revue which was presented for the
first time last night at the Palace
Theatre, was well received by an audi
ence that filled the house to capacity.
There was no hesitancy in applause.
Interpretations of the roles deserved
the applause and praise Of the first
nighters.'
The Revue was choppy; that is, it
broke from the expected to the un-
expected. but the change was so clev.
ery brought about there can be no
criticism. Every change brought its
feature; every change came at just
the right time and no one was in
suspense.
Jokes Were Extraordinary.
Jokesmiths and story-tellers acquired
good string of palaver from the
characters, because there was new
material inserted in them. They were
bit out Of the general run of min.
strel jokes, with the negro element
mixing well with the type of joke
usually picked up on the street and
| in the club rooms.
The first break that let the audi
ence in on the pleasing changes thai
were to come was section 3 of the
program under the title Nothing But
Rice with scene in China. Sucf
breaks cannot be expected in min
strel, but this was a revue" An
other decided break was that of "Cir
