Paris. Aug. THE A. f.
r., in rest billcts and recreation
camps used to remark occasionally
that this business Of going to France
wouldn't be such a bad racket if only
there wasn't war going on.
For France itself, as a goal for
travellers. has its points.
Accordingly. when the French gov
eminent sent to the American Legion
convention Of 1924 warm invitation
to the lcgionnaircs TO hold their 1927
convention in Paris, the former A. r.
F.ers lost little time in accepting.
And now the vanguard of the
Second A. f. F." is descending on
Paris once more The 1927 conven-
ton of the American Legion is about
to open in the capital of France, and
some 10000 eX-service men are on
the way.
Paris Is Ready
Everything here is in readiness.
The vast hall of the Palace Tro-
cadero, where the sessions will be
held is decorated and refurbished !;
the Palais d'Orsay. where the famous
$40 and 8" will convene, has been
prepared for anything; the Hotel
Continental is ready to resound to
the trend of those feminine, feet that
will bear the lady members of the
legion auxiliary about Paris.
The coming convention is not going
to be just another convention. 1t is
going to be an international event
and France and the legion have laid
their plans accordingly.
First and foremost, the legion has
fixed things so that individual mem
hers can make the trip much more
chcaply than they could if they went
as ordinary tourists. American rail
ways have granted half-fare priv
leges; European railroads have shaved
prices sharply: steamship companies
have reduced their rates also.
Thirty thousand hotel rooms in
Paris were contracted for by the
legion long ago. These contracts
were signed while the franc WAS low,
and big savings are the consequence.
Motor transportation has been ar
ranged for most Of the battlefield
tours. at further saving.
Altogether. it is estimated that the
legion member can make the trip
for at least $3.50 less than it would
cost if he went as a private indiyid-
ual.
Some of the veterans are already
here. The bulk of them. however.
will not arrive until the third week
in September, when the liner, Leyia-
than, which carried so many thous-
ands of soldiers during the war, and
which has been designated flagship
Of this second hegira. docks with
General Pershine. National Com
mander Howard Savage. many other
distinguished guests and whole host
of ordinary ex-service privates.
Many Tours Planned
The meetings Of the legion in Paris

will comprise only a part of the activ-
tiles. Extensive tours to all battle
fields where American troops fought
have been arranged, these tours hav-
ing been divided into five districts
the first district including northern
France and Belgium; the second, the
Aisne Marine region and Chateau
Thierry; the third, Verdun and the
MeuseArgonne sector; the fourth,
the ST. Mihiel region; the fifth, the
Champagne country east Of Rheims.
In addition, many lcgionnaires arc

Eighteen European nations have an
nounced they will accept the legion
identification certificates in lieu of
passports.
Four of the welfare organizations
that served the A. f. +. during the
war are ready to serve the visiting
legionnaires. The Red Cross has made
ready first aid stations in Paris and
at other points in France; the
knights Of Columbus has secretaries
on all the ships, to provide for crea-
ture comforts; the Salvation Army
has number of huts established. and

The Big Parade

which opens Sept. - and closes Sept.

they will turn down the Avenue dIena
to the Arc de Triomphe.
Here the French government has
prepared great honor for them.
For the first time in history, it is
according to representatives of a
foreign government, the privilege of

Gus monument. The legionnaires will
observe complete silence as they pass
through; the bands will be stilled

be restored. the city commission
Monday night decided to return to
the former system.
Parallel parking was inaugu-
rated on those two streets this
summer but, although it gave
much more clearance for persons
driving on the streets, it met with
decided disapproval on the part of
the business men, who claimed pco-
pie would drive to some other
street to leave their cars where
they could diagonally, and as a re-
suit would trade at stores nearest
to their parking places. The new
system was also unpopular with
motorists who wished to park on
one OF those two streets, especially
those from out Of town who were
not used to the method and found
IT difficult to get their automobiles
into the parking spaces properly.

The work of remarking the
streets will be started at once and
should be completed within a few
days. according to members of the
commission.
