Now, the recurrence Of the June ac-

Young is official soloist with the
National American Legion band, and
announcement has just been made
he will break away from his concert,
oratorio and opera work to accom-
pany the band on a tour, and appear
with it at the convention. He per-

mand.
Young became a member of the
crew of the q. S. S. Louisville In the
early days of the World war, having
enlisted in the navy. He then was
chosen as soloist for the famous band
of John Philip Sousa and toured with
the band on it's remarkable recruiting

Spectators stood on the beach and
watched the heroic struggle. For many
minutes they feared both Hoffman and
the woman would be drowned. 1t was
night, and only by the lights Of the
beach could the crowd watch the two
dark forms bobbing up and down on
the water. And there were cheers
when Hoffman, exhausted, towed his
limp burden onto the beach.
The woman declined to divulge her
name. She said she had gone out for
a drive In her limousine and decided
on impulse to go swimming before she

WILL CHANGE STREET NAMES
New Orleans Thoroughfares to Be Re-
christened During Legion
National Convention.

Illuminated by $4,000 electric lights
and decorated with flags, banners and
streamers, the downtown streets OF
New Orleans will be In holiday re-
gala during the American Legion ma
tional convention next October.
For FIVE days the conventional
names Of business streets will be
thrown into the discard and they will
be rechristened with designations
more appropriate to the Legion gath
ering.
A court Of honor Of the nations
will be established in ten blocks, each
block being set aside for one Of the
principal allied powers with CORE
spending flags and decorations. Signs
indicating the names Of the states,
with their contributions in numbers of
World war fighters, will feature the
court Of honor of the states, to be
held on the principal residential
street. American Legion avenue will
be decorated with Legion banners and
emblems.
Visiting dougfboys in search of
their buddies will be assisted In the
establishment of the streets Of the
divisions. Suspended across the
streets utilized for this purpose will
be the insisnias of all divisions in the
World war army. Impromptu re-
unions of men who served in the
same division will be held near the
banners inscribed with their division
al insignia.
Red, white and blue electric bulbs
will illuminate Canal street, the main
thoroughfare, and all principal side
streets.

Why the Umbrellas?

A rather amusing sight was that at

when party of bathers all ready for
the morning dip came from their cot
tages on their way to the beach all
carrying open umbrellas. Vacationists
witnessing the procession of bathers
approaching the water all set for the
plunge wondered at the theory of car
rying 'bumbleshoots' to protect them
selves from the rain when they would
shortly be drenched while taking their

tie to the southeast of Yellowstone
National park.
A queer sort of place for the United
States marines-out on the open range
q thousand miles from salt water /!
Don't get astonished. The marines
weren't. They've been most every
where else, and done most everything
else. 1t was all in the days work.
Doubtless Capt. Shuler reported to
Washington as usual, just as the ma
rines have been doing since 1775:
1.-THE marines have landed and have
the situation we'll in hand"
Possibly the most interesting thing
about the Teapot Dome expedition is
the fact that the notice to quit was
served on the Mutual Oil company, al
legged squatter, June Ii of this year.
Why? Because one of the many unus-
ual things about the unusual marines
is the unusual fact that June has been
the usual month with the marines for
doing things, from their establishment
by the Continental congress June s,
1775, to their stopping the Germans on
the march to Paris June 2, 1918, at
Chateau-Thierry.
And who's their commandment? Maj
Gen. J. A. LeJeune. Can you beat it !!
Yes; the marines have been almost
everywhere and have done almost ev-
erything. One reason for this, of
course, is that they can do almost
anything. SO Uncle Sam sends 'em
along when he needs little bunch of
efficiency. And as for rifle shooting
why, SO per cent of the marines wear
the medals of marksmen, sharpshoot-
ers or expert ridemen! Now, a marks
man is a rifleman who can hit almost
any kind Of mark. A sharpshooter
Is a rifieman who can hit what the
markSman misses. And an expert rifle
man is-well, he's simply battle, muir
der and sudden DEATH"
The United States marine corps is
an independent branch of the military
service under major general COM
mandant. In general, the corps is SUBJ
ject to the orders of the secretary of
the navy. but 1t may be detached for
service with the army by the Presi-
dent. On shipboard the marines are

June 2, 1918, the Fifth and Sixth
regiments of marines stopped the
march of the Germans on Paris at
Chateau-Thierry.
When the marines that June day at
Chateau-Thierry met the advancing
shock troops they calmly set their
sights, adjusted their range, picked
their men and set to work as method
ically as if ON the rifle range at Paris
island, T. S. A. Thereupon it was all
off with the Germans. They stopped.
And what's more, those that were left
Of those crack shock troops broke and
ran for cover.
All Europe gasped. Paris was
saved. 1t was the turning point Of
the World war.
June 6, in Belleau woodrow Off
cially renamed "Bois de la Brigade de
Marine"-the marines gave the crack
Prussian Guards the first sample Of
taste of a still deadlier thing-the
American bayonet. This time the ma
rines, stripped to their undershirts,
threw away everything not useful in
killing, broke into their battle-cry
fleece y-a-a-h-h-h yip!" and charged
into the jungle of woods and machine
gun nests in American style-a rush,
halt, rush again, rear waves pass
ing over the dead, behind these waves
more waves!
rhof ho No will
ever be able to dc justice to the month
and more that it took the marines to
clean Belleau wood at the point of the
bayonet. 1t was without doubt the
most desperate fighting of the whole
World war-Verdun not excepted.
And later there were scissors, st.
Mihiel, Blanc Mont Ridge and the
Champagne!
Of course, the marines were killed
off in large numbers. But that's all in
the days work with them. "We kill
or we get killed" is one of their pri-
vate notices.
General Hartford, i'll thanking the
Second division in General Order No.
46, casually remarked, 1.-THE Second
division has sustained the best tradi-
tions of the regular army and the ma
rine corps"
General Harbord did manage to add
that the story of their achievements
would be told in millions of homes In
all the allied. nations.
And that is no lie. 1t will be long
time before allied Europe forgets the
United States marines-and a still
longer time before the Germans quit
talking about the "Devil Dogs"-as
they named them in rage and fear and
admiration.
Say" said a doughboy husky In
Paris-and the American infantryman
thinks he's some fighter himself
don't blame the Froggies for wantin'
to kiss every marine they see. Do you
know what I seen them double cruel
fed rippety blankety d-n marines do
with my own eyes? They had taken
three trenches and was stoppin' to fill
up with grenades before tacklin' a
fourth. The Huns was usin' mustard
gas. Well, them marines Ills their
pockets and then the crazy nuts takes
off their gas masks and fills 'em up
with grenades like market baskets and
off they go into the next trench, hell
bent for election. Oh, boy!"

Virginia, refusing to permit his name
to be mentioned as department COM
mander in the election by the state
convention. His letter follows:
"The department commander should
devote his principal time to the Legion
Its work, its growth, it's welfare
should command his mind, his heart
and soul, and should always be upper
most in his daily life. The position of
department commander is very high
office and it is worthy Of the very best
men in the Legion. 1t is man-size job,
requiring the very best efforts and the
hardest work to handle 1t with the
greatest success.
Given commander who would
practically surrender himself to the
Legion, and who could make it's prog
ress and success his chief aim and
objective during his ter a of Office, we
would see this Legion of ours expand
and grow in membership, influence and
healthy activity almost beyond con-
ception. / am of the sincere conyic-
ton that If the Legion called man to
serve as leader-asking him to give
practically his whole time and provid-
ing for his support-he would, If Of
proper caliber, consider that call as
leading him to a wonderful service,
just as serious, as noble and as patri-
otto as that which brought him into
uniform against the enemy"
The question Is one which has been
much discussed over all the country
by Legionnaires, and probably will
come before the national convention at
New Orleans.
