1T must be borne in mind that the

But is distinctly stands for ade-

Gently voiced their protest against

erick J. Libby, executive secretary
of the National Council and affiliated
with others of these groups which
are working for a breaking down OF
the national defense.
1T might almost seem that the
lesson of unpreparedneSS so tragicaI-
ly learned in the early days OF the
world war are being forgotten.
Eternal vigilance is truly the price
that must be paid, and the complacent
ones who scoff at the growing power
of the revolutionary groups must
have the situation brought striking
ly to their attention.
The efforts aimed at the youth of
the country. at the proposed Defense
Test day scheduled for September II,
when Gen. Pershing desires a visual
demonstration of the patriotism OF
the warriors of the land, and at our
American customs and traditions
must be com bated.
In recent months there have been
striking examples of the fights made
by various national organ iZationS-
even great political parties and lesser
ones-to prevent the radicals from
gaining control. Bearing in mind that
enc of the major obligations of the
legionnaire is to his community, his
state and to his nation as an IndI-
vidual, there is no doubt in my own
mind but that definite expression to
the views of the men and women
! who served their country in time
| of need will be given at our conven-
tions. which will demonstrate anew

which fowered in the wilds of Mon
golia 20 years ago.
Carmen Beley, daughter of A diyec-
tor OF the Northwestern Railroad and
niece of the banker, Fairchild of New
Holland, met and fell in love with
the hs .dsone Comte jacques de Les
dain, r'r=nch consular agent in the
Ear East. in the summer of 1904 The
Mongollan marriage ceremonies be-
ing of primitive nature and the
customs of the country recognizing
only the purchase or KIDNAPPING of a
wife, the young people obtained the
blessing of two Belgian missionaries
and believed their union lawful. A
child was born.
Recently Comte de Lesdain returned
to Europe after long years Of adven-
ture and exploration and, firing of
his wife, asked the Paris courts to
cancel the marriage. The courts de-
cided no such measure was necessary
as, according to French law, there
had been no marriage, although no.
tice of the ceremony performed by the
Belgian missionaries had been regis
tered at the French consulate at
Shanghai as well as at Dunk kerque,
