union man can help but feel grateful
to you for this"
President Walker showed how much

Federation are by quoting some fig
ures:
I'm the last war;" he said, "there
were $4,000 American fighters bear
ing union cards. But if there had not

LEGION SEEKS MISSING MAN
Help Locate Her Son, Boyd
Martin Mcclure.

Dillgent search is being made for
Boyd Martin Mcclure, a World war
veteran, who formerly served in the
One Hundred and Twenty-eighth, One
Hundred and Thirtieth and Four Hun
dred and Seventeen aero squadrons,
until December, 1918. To the efforts
of the various civil organizations, gov
eminent agencies have added their
services in the quest for the missing
man.
Mcclure, whose mother resides In
Mckenzie, Tenn, enlisted in the army
in Great Falls, Mont, in August, 1917.
Prior to that time he had been en-
ployed by the Great Northern railway
as a fireman. He reached England
while in the service, but was returned
and discharged, leaving for the West.
According to reports made by investi-
gators, he worked for the Great North
ern after his return. He is said to
have lost his personal effects in fire
which destroyed a railroad hotel in
Fargo, N. D., among which was his
army discharge, which had previously
been sent to him by his mother.
In May, 1922, he made application
to the executive secretary of the Red
Cross in Billings, Mont, for a certih-
cate Of discharge in lieu of the lost
original. Further trace of the man
was found at the Salvation Army head
quarters in that city, where Mcclure
was guest about this time, but the
man disappeared in June, 1922. No
trace has been found since that time,
though it is believed that he may be at
work in the Dakotas or Montana.
McClure'S mother is said to be In
need of help at her home in Tennessee
and seeks the assistance Of the Ameri-
can Legion in locating her son, though
she fears he is dead or q patient in
some hospital, because of an illness
which followed an attack Of influenza
while in service.
At the time Of enlistment the man
was twenty-five years of age. He was
SIX feet in height, weighed about 146
pounds, had brown eyes, brown hair,
fair complexion, upper teeth slightly
protruding. Any member Of the Legion
or other person in possession of infor-
nation concerning this man should ad-
dress Mrs. U. G. Mcclure, Mckenzie,
Tenn.

FRENCH PREMIER
DEF|ES LONDON
Poincare Again Tells Great Bri-
tain France Will Collect
GIVES BERLIN NEW WARNING
"Pay Us or We Stay in the Ruhr.
Heaven Helps Those That Help
Themselves" Declares the
Leader in Speech.

Gondrecourt, France, aug. 81
Premier Poincare, making two of his
usual Sunday speeches at war memo
rial dedication, reiterated Frances
defiance of Great Britain in the repa-
rations controversy.
Heaven helps those who help them
Selves" he told his audience. I'VE stay
in the Ruhr until we are paid"
The premier spoke at the dedication
of plaque which commentaries the
arrival of the first American soldiers
in the trenches. 1t is his custom to
make such speeches every Sunday and
to take occasion during his addresses
to announce his stand on important is
sues.
Poincare's Sunday Speeches..
In such a speech on previous Sun
day he foreshadowed the reply which
he communicated to the British
foreign office the next day. Yester-
days speech is regarded as setting at
rest renewed reports that France and
Great Britain might yet find common
ground
''The American army broke the
springs of the German military
mechanism" said the premier. Prais-
ing the role which the United States
played. in the war, he expressed regret
that the war had not been followed
by an alliance between the United
States and France.
The premier said that the American
withdrawal from Europe had not al
tered Franco-American relations and
that the feeling of France toward the
United States was as cordial as ever.
"Pay or We Stay"
eff Germany does not pay" said
M. Poincare, ''we shall be forced to
repeat, ''Pay or we stay"
1.-THE conviction which led us into
the Ruhr was the conviction that the
best manner of gaining support from
either heaven or men was to begin by
helping ones self.
1T is vain to pretend that Germany
has already paid 42,O00,OOO,OOO gold
marks. or even 25,000,000,OO0 to the
PREPARATIONS commission, as stated by
the Washington Economic institute,
an organization of which I have never
before heard.

what we have to expect from inter-

and last nights applause was long

COSMOPOI AN
PL AN S NEW
STUDIOS

The Cosmopolitan Pictures Cor
porati0rl has purchased real
estate in New York on which 1t
win erect three large studios, ac-
.sording to a statement by the
company yesterday. One Of these
studios, according to the state
ment, will have the greatest ca
pacity of any Eastern studio
with the exception of that of the
Famous Players in Long Island
City. All OF the new buildings
will be fn Manhattan, 1t was said.
Building operations on all three
plots will be started Immediately
and, according to William Ran
dolph Hearst, all of the future
pictures of the company will be
made in New York City.
Sne OF the new studios will oc-
cupy part Of the lot OF the
present Cosmopolitan studio, but
the new building will be so by
200 feet.
The decision to confine future
operations to New York, it is
said, was made by the Cosmopol-
itan Corporation because. of the
fact that this city is the center
of stage activities and 1t is here
that most of the stars are avail
able.
1T is. folly to minimize the
screens need Of the best artists
of the stage in the casts of its
worthiest productions. Mr..
Hearst said, in announcing the
departure.
For this and other obvious
reasons the Cosmopolitan Cor
poration decided some time ago
to make all Of its pictures in
New York City.
I'VE prefer to produce our pic
lures in studios with artificial
lighting, rather than to depend
on the uncertainty and varying
degrees of sunlight, q condition
from which no part of this coun-
try is at all seasons exempt.
The Cosmopolitan productions
heretofore have been made in
various studios located in diff
ferent sections of New York.
Five of these studios most used
by the Cosmopolitan are the
Pathe, the Jackson avenue, the
Tee-Art and the Biograph.
It is said that the move was
uCC1ucu upOu Ny (uS OOoh4OpOlE
tan because it was felt that 1t
did not have sufficient capacity
under the present arrangement
for the productions which are
planned.
According to the statement,
production at the present Cosmo-
politan studio will not be inter-
rupted while the new studios are
being built. but that as rapidly
as each one is completed addi-
tional productions will be started.
