Armstrong speaks


 Commander Armstrong started off by saying that since his discharge from the world war service, he, as an ex-servicc man. has been called many names. In 1917 he and his comra des were the flower Of American youth, in 1918 they were brave soldier boys, in 1921 they were returned soldiers, in in 1923 they were treasury raiders and in 1924 they will be called many other things, but he stated they would be victorious fighters.
 He stated that the men in the war fought for the right and at the present time they are also lighting for the right, tho adjusted compensation bill. He asked if George Washington. Abra- ham Lincoln, Grant, Winfield Scott or Admiral farragut were treasury raid CTS because they too accepted bonus for their services 10 the country. He said that the record Of these bonus grants were in the very building pre- sided over by Andrew Mellon and that gentleman didn't dare deny the fact. He stated that if the present men of the late war, named Cohen, Kelley or Clark. were to be termed treasury raiders. hc was proud 10 be asso- ciated with them.
 He termed the oppostion's argu- ments against the bonus on an ccono. mic basis as sheer hypocrisy and the sham Of X coward who dares not to stand forth and be counted as one of the enemy" He stated that the cN- service men want the economic law put 10 test and if the cx-scr,ice men are 10 lose by it, they will not 
 He scathingly denunciated the men who are crying "Ercrything for the disabled, for the able bodied. nothing"
 He said "Everything for the dis ablcd." 1 challenge Andrew N. Mel lon or any of his dollar worshiping gangsters 10 name one specific thing they have done for the disabled. You have heard how the fighters them selves have supported their depend- ants and paid compensation to the widows and orphans Of their broth- through allotments and Insurance premiums.

PLANS FOR NEW
FIGHT IF LOSER

Ready to Battle Until
Final Edict.

CHICAGO. Aug EFF Chief JUS
tice John r. Caverly imposes the
death sentence on Nathan Leopold
and Richard Loeb for murder or
Bobby Franks. the defense will start
a new fight to save the youths from
death. II was revealed today. Pre-
liminary plans are being laid now.
The State attorneys Office also is
completing plans to ward off the de
fense in the event of a death sen.
tence.
There are three methods by
which the defense can still fight to
snatch the youths from the gal
lows. samuel Ettelson seven years
corporation counsel for Chicago and
personal counsel for Jacob Franks.
father OF the little victim. explained
10 the United Press.
Three Steps
1. The defense can ask for a jury
to pass on the sanity of the youths
on the grounds they have become
insane during or since the trial and
sentence.
q Appeal to the State Supreme
Court to set aside the sentence of
! the lower court on the grounds OF
error.
,. Appeal to the Governor for
Communication of sentence.
While Clarence barrow. chief de
fense attorney, refused to com.
ment, simply stating he you'd do
his utmost to save the boys from
death If they are sentenced to the
gsllows. Ettelson said he felt this
would be the second step of the de-
fense. He believes the defense's first
move would be to go before the
Supreme Court and claim error. If
both steps are unproductive. an ap-
peal to Governor Small viii follow.
Ettelson believed.
no Appeal
States Attorney Grove said If JUS
tice Caverly orders life in Jail for
the boys the State could do moth
ing about 1t.

attorney and the indictment expert
for Grove is preparing for pos
