6 LINERS LEAVE
n. Y. FOR PARIS
WITH VETERANS

NEW YORK, Sept 8, R-The
harbor rang with merriment today
as six great liners steamed gaily
off for France with 5000 passengers
who decade ago silently put forth
in Sombre troop ships.
1t was the advance guard of the
American Legion leaving to hold its
annual convention this year in
Paris that has changed since the
Legionnaires knew it from an arm
ed city to city happy in peace,
Three more liners will sail to-
morrow and on Saturday the Le-
viathan the flagship of the Legion
will sail, carrying an additional
5000 ex-doughboys, accompanied by
1000 gold star mothers and war
widows
The old banners that were car
ried aboard the troop ships 10
years ago, again are crossing the
waters, no longer bright and new
but bearing tales of sacrifice and
heroism rather than promises.
Veterans of every color and class,
from every corner of the United
States crowded the liners. A few

There was not SO much confus-
ion attending the embarking of the
Fformer doughboys as there is at
the sailing of any regular tourist
vessel, for the old Spirit of mill
tary precision, seemed instinctively
to govern them still.
The vessels leaving today were
the Tuscania, the Antonia, Scythia
and Caronia of the Cunard line,
the De Grasse of the French line
and the Caledonia of the Anchor
line. The Scythia will stop at Bos-
ton TO take on New England vet

Tomorrow will sail the Celtic of
the international Mercantile ma

the French line. Two Canadian

BOSTON, April 19.-"The Sac
co-Vanzetti case is purely an i'm
ternal affair and a matter of gov
eminent. No outsider has any
business to express any opinion.
The matter must be left to your
selves"
This was the comment Of J.
Ramsay Macdonald on the case of
the two framed-up Italian work
ers yesterday. Last evening the
former labor" premier Of Great
Britain accepted an invitation to
have dinner with Gov. Alvan Full
Ter of Massachusetts.
This brutal GOODNESS on the part
of Macdonald is all the more re-
markable in the face of the fact
that % leaders of his own party
in the British parliament have de-
manded the immediate release Of
Saceo and Vanzetti in cables to

OF MISSISSIPPI

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 19.-With
the entire Saint Francis basin in
jeopardy from a break in the levee
near New Madrid, Mo, government
engineers today directed the efforts
of hundreds Of workmen to prevent
change in the course of the Miss
issippi River at that point.
Engineers said only a sudden stop
page of the waters can prevent the
flood of the Saint Francis basin. The
water was still rising steadily today.
Reports that the levee at Farrens-
burg, on the Little River, has broken
were denied, but it was admitted that
water was tapping over the side. All
night long more than 1000 men la
bored to prevent the levee from
crashing before the pressure of the
waters.
The flood situation, especially in
Arkansas, Mississippi and along the
lower Mississippi valley, became
worse today. A dozen deaths are
more or less attributed to the floods,
while nearly 10000 are homeless. The
