AT the request of Governor Ralph
o. Brewster, an effort will be made
by Brigadier General Albert Green
| law, Maine member of the France
Convention Travel Committee of the
American Legion to have the dele
gates from this State, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont board ship for the
Back France Pilgrimage in Sep
TENDER of 1927 at the State Pier.
Portland.
The Royal Mail Line has been
designated to carry the New Eng
land Legionaires and members of the
Auxiliary on the Second American
EXpeditionary Force" and Boston is
the port which has been named by
the travel committee as the port of
embarkation for the delegations
from the states of Kansas, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont,
Oregon, Connecticut, Nevada and
Wyoming, in addition to the Maine
delegation.
General Greenlaw, who will attend
a meeting of the France Convention
Travel Committee to be held in New
York City on Saturday of this week,
will present the matter of the Royal
Mail Line ship making Portland a
port of call and embarkation for the
uSlSSdlSS 1IO1u lIlS three uOTlU6Tu
New England states, at least.
1t is pointed out that the Maine
State Pier offers every convenience
for the adequate handling of the $50
TO 1000 members of the American
Legion and Auxiliary who will be
making the trip from the three states
named. Portland is the natural sea-
port railroad terminus from these
three states and time and travel
could be saved these delegates if it
were made possible for them to em-
bark at Portland.
Just what ship of the Royal Mails
Line will take the Maine LegionaireS
to France for the monster observance
of the tenth anniversary of the entry
of the United States into the World
War it is not as yet known, but the
S. S. "Orca" has been inspected and
approved by the travel committee,
and it will be that ship or one Of
similar type.
General Greenlaw stated Monday
that John j. Wicker, director of the
France Convention Travel Commit
tee returned from France last week
with reports that arrangements for
the entertainment of the $4,000 vet
Grams and members of their families
who will participate IN the Paris
convention, are approaching perfec-
ton and that the return of the
Legionaires promises to be the most
gigantic peace-time movement over
the Atlantic in history. $4,000 have
already signified their intention of
making the trip, and it is expected
that total of 10000 will be included
when the ships sail from the several
American ports in september of next
year.
The interest of Governor Brewster
in the pilgrimage, and his request
that Portland be made a port of call
and embarkation will meet with the
approval of Legionaires from Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont, as it
will save them much time, which will
be of value to them under the con-
diitons by which they will make the
journey back to France to visit
again the scenes of their participa-
ton in the World War.
