E. r. is over. | Vending their way homeward to- l day. having completed a busy week at the eighth annual convention of I the American Legion, veterans and their wives and daughter appeared as of one mind that next years con- vontion in Paris must be as success ful as the one just ended.
 See you In Paris next year" was the parting greeting of the Legion naircs as they left for their homes. Enthusiasm was unlimited as the former soldiers visioned a second trip to France-and Paris. To a number who will make the trip, however, it will be their first visit to the French capital for not every members of the \.

 While the 1926 convention will 1 long be remembered for Is many interesting and entertaining events, it will also be remembered for the stiffest fight for national command CT in the short history of the organi- zation.
 The Legionnaires balloted 20 times, unable to give any one can didate the necessary number of
 votes, and it was not until in the midst of the Fist ballot that Howard
 P. Savage. of Chicago, who had been leading throughout most of the bal loting, was elected. A few minutes later he was declared the new na- tional commander by exclamation. The previous record for the number Of ballots taken was made at the San | Francisco convention when the roll
 was called II times.
 J. Monroe Johnson of Marion.
 s. C.. was Savage's principal op- ponent, and his withdrawal on the Fist ballot gave the latter the elec-
 ton. Thomas A. Lee of Kansas and 1 Jay Williams of South Dakota, were
 the two other candidates nominated
 for the highest office in the Legion.
 The new vice-presidents are J. G.
 Sims, Marysville. Tenn; Thomas

 J. N Wolfe, Catholic priest of
 Philadelphia, was elected national
 chaplain.
 The new national commander is
 42 years old, and served during the war as an officer in the corps of engineers.
 Immediately preceding the cleo ] ton of officers the convention con- l pleted it's routine business by the | adoption of committee reports. h. | cluded among the reports was that i of the naval committee which urged l that there be no reduction of the

Tientsin, Oct. 16. R>-Court eti- quette of centuries casts a shadow of the once real supremacy about the throreless majesties of China.
 The household clings tenaciously to vestige of traditional form and sacredly observes respect for the young emperor without an empire.

 As his tutors and more important ! followers tender their daily greetings to the head of the fallen Ching Dy nasty. so does the second consort of Hsuan Tung repair daily to the apartment of the empress and bid her Ching An!"
