TROLLHATAN FALLS, Sweden,
October 23.-Climbing mountains in

many American visitors to the Goth
enburg exposition when they made
the trip over the historic Goeta canal
from Gothenburg to Stockholm.
Marine locks in flights of five or six
carry tourist ships through granite
hills from river to lake, until the
canal reaches an altitude of more
than 800 feet in the highlands of
picturesque southern Sweden. and
then the ships begin their trip down.

IS Locks In "a Miles.
1t takes two and a half days to
make the inland journey of 900
miles from Gothenburg to Stockholm.
The actual canal Is only fifty-four
miles long, but fifty-eight locks are
passed in avoiding the falls in rivers
and ascending to the high lakes in
the interior.

the Goeta rivec, and here at Troll

In the early DAYS of TIE bnlshevist
government, when IIomrDsoIf was in
charge of the effort to re-equip the
Russian railways. Sweden was given
contract for I.u1n locomotives. This
plum was daneled before the eyes Of
other industrial nations by bolshevist
leaders, who jeered at them for their
failure to recognize Russia and share

OHIO LEADER HEADS
M'ADOO CAMPAIGN
Boom for Presidency Takes
Definite Status, With
Rockwell at Post.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, Septembershrdlu
CLEVELAND. Ohio. October 23.-
David L. Rockwell of Ravenna and
Cleveland, for years a leader in the
democratic party of Ohio, announced
yesterday that he has accepted the
post of national manager of a move
ment to make former Secretary of
the Treasury William G. McAdoo the
democratic candidate for the presi-
dency in 1924. -
Mr.. Rockwell said that national
headquarters for the McAdoo pre-
convention campaign will be opened
in Chicago November I.
Mr.. Rockwell issued the following
statement:
"At the solicitation OF a group of
western admirers of Mr.. McAdoo. I
have agreed to assume the duties of
national manager of a movement that
has for it's purpose the crystalizing of
the growing McAdoo sentiment, feel
ing certain that Mr.. McAdoo must
soon heed its force and announce
himself a candidate.
II have been through the west
testing out the McAQO0 sentiment,
and / find that labor, the farmers, the
women and the returned soldiers are
for him"
Politicians say that the choice of
Mr.. Rockwell as national campaign
manager not only gives the McAdoo
candidacy definite and formal status
but indicates a desire on the part of
the McAdoo supporters to line up
Ohio as their first pre-convention
step.
Mr. Rockwell has>been a member
of the state democratic executive
committee for years. He was close
ly associated for two decades with
James NJ. Cox, who made the unsuc-
cessful race against President. Hard

The adoption of resolution for a
"warless world" featured the session
of the National Council of Congrega-
tional Churches last night. The reso-
luton reads, in part:
believing that war as method
of settling international disputes or
achieving national aspirations is both
unnecessary and anti-Christian, the
council reaffirms its faith that Christ's
way of thought and life is sufficient
to overcome the cause of war and
lead the nation into a life of CO.
operative peace. The council also be-
lieves that there is a special obliga-
ton upon the church of Christ to
organize and prepare for peace. to
engage at once with all it's powers
in a campaign of education against
war as method and in favor of
other methods of settling disputes,
to diminish among peoples the dis
position to resort to force, to bring
the people to the conviction that war
is wrong and to develop the viii for
peace"
The resolution recommends that
ideals and methods of international
good will and corporation be pre-
sented from the pulpits and in church
schools. A resolution was passed

PUT BONUS MONEY TO WORK
Iowa Veterans Do Not Rseklessiy
squandsr Allowance, a. Had
Been Predicted.

Iowa's veterans who received the
state bonus are. contrary to expecta-
ton Of some persons placing the
money in savings accounts, using 1t
for the payment Of debts and for the
extension Of business. It had been free
" predicted by q certain element un.
favorable to payment Of such compen.
cation that the money would b squan-
dered In reckless fashion.
Newspaper reports from Ill sections
Of the state tell Of the receipt Of the
warrants BY the former soldiers, and
what they expected to do with the
money.
Iowa business houses have conduct
cd wide advertising campaigns, sug-
costing to the former soldiers uses that
might b made Of the compensation
money. According to word from vari-
Gus parts Of the state, the savings
banks proflted most from this cam
paign.
Earl Brownie, an American Legion
member Of Davenport, Ia, who received
the first warrant, put It In a savings
bank to draw interest. Harlem Wyatt
Of Des MoineA tirst to receive a check
In that city, told reporters that his
check was going to make the last pay
ment on a little home. Another vet
eran said that his plumber was wait
ing in his business place for the check
when It came by post. Still another
'vet," apprecintive Of how he obtained
the money, said to reporters: "Fivs dol
lars Of my check goes to Join the
American Legion and the rest to the
bank"
Interesting facts in regard to the
payment Of compensation in the state
were developed. More than $50 appli-
cations in the state were not signed by
the soldiers because they were unable
to write. Instead. the anger-print
method was used. When the warrants
were cashed the finger-prints were on
the backs Of the checks. Two hundred
and fifty nurses will receive checks for
service in the World war.
A tendency on the part of Iowa vet
Grams to take advantage Of the insur-
ance offered by the government 10
noted by American Legion officials. A
survey Of records OF one post showed
about SO per cent Of the men receiving
compensation reinstated their govern
ment insurance. Nearly $4,000 In
policies was reinstated In one day. &C
cording to officials Of this post.
The Iowa law allows so cents per
day. with a maximum Of 1850. All
claims Of conscientious directors have
been set aside until after all other men
have received their pay. when their
Saims will be considered.

World Warriors.

The spirit of comradeship among for
mer soldiers Of the United States IL
deepened. rather than diminished by
time. according to evidences Of friend
ly aid and help for veterans temporar-
lily In need. This Is particularly true
among organizations composed Of
World war fighters, such as the Ameri-
can Legion.
Many striking examples Of this COM
radeship come to the attention Of ma.
tional officers Of the organization. A
splendid example was noted In recent
letter to Legion onicials concerning
friendly acts Of m Indiana post toward
sick comrade.
Written by II. L. Rogers, q veteran
OF Battery f, Fifth field artillery. the
letter tells how he was taken sick a.
he passed through Lebanon, Ind. with
his wife. After reaching hotel there
Rogers was told that he was threat
ened with pneumonia. and his limited
resources were n source Of worry.
THAT afternoon" Rogers letter
says. "the adjutant Of the local post Of
the American Legion came to the hotel
and made me feel was among friends,
promising thnt my comfort would be
looked out for. The next morning
awoke to see bouquet Of carnations
in my room. In the afternoon the post
commander came to see me, and In him
I met another fine fellow.
II was sick for II week. Although
food wasn't much 1t left me broke, and
when the finance officer made me nd.
nit 1t he brought u SO blu for meals
When wns strong enough to walk
about decided to go to Chicago. The
American Legion gave me cur fare, the
adjutant guaranteed my hotel bin and
member OF the post took US to the
train In his car.
what do you think OF n bunch Of
fellows like that? DO you think they
would be Just us regular sports II they
weren't Legion men2 I confess I don't
know. but think these bubbles have
caught the one big idea OF the founders
Of the American Legion.
"fn conclusion. let me say that I
have learned what the emblem Of the
Legion stands for. that take Increased
pride In being permitted to wear L.,
and that, as time goes on. I hope my
gratitude never lessons to the greatest
