William Fortune. president of the
Indianapolis chapter of the America n

take the platform.

1.-THE Red Cross follows wherever
the Legion leads" he said I'VE of the

breeze of the legion parade"
In the name of the French Asso-

when Nine. Guepratte, dressed in
white, came forward and with her
uniformed husband stood at attention
with the red. white and blue banner
between them.
Miss Evangeline Booth, commander
of the Salvation Army in the United
States, was given an ovation when
she arose to speak.

words of gratitude which are treas

my heart are those that have come
from the men who wore the khaki on
the bleeding fields of France"

Louisville Catholic Announces
Fight Against Smith by
South and West.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 21.-Pat-
rick M. Callahan. dry Democratic
leader, of Louisville, KY, and a prom
inent Catholic layman, announced
here yesterday that the dry progress
sive Democrats will hold a confer
ence in Chicago next December to
select presidential nominee to oppose
Gov. Alfred T.. Smith of New York in
the 1928 Democratic convention.
Leadership in calling the meeting
has been accepted by w. w. Durbin,
former State chairman of the Demo
cratic committee of Ohio, Callahan
said. Delegates from Southern States
and those West OF the Alleghenies
will be asked to attend, according
to Callahan, and choose a successor
to William G. McAdoo. who last week
announced that he would not seek the
nomination. Callahan previously has
been identified with the McAdoO con-
tingent.
Callahan predicted that Gov. J. c..
w. Beckham of Kentucky, whose re-
election campaign was successful i'll

prove a significant figure in the
convention, aligned with the anti
Smith group. He also expressed the
belief that religious bias would play
as great a part in the next Demo
cratic convention as it did three years
ago. as he discerned no change Of
sentiment in his section

good deal to say as to the selection of
delegates to the Republican National
Convention from Cook County. He

because of corrupt election and who
is credited with having beer the in

Vice President Dawes is perhaps the
most serious contender Illinois has
for the presidential nomination. Not
that the Vice President is candidate.
Far from it. He says he is not a can

host of friends who believe in his star
They believe that after Mr.. Lowden
has been eliminated, the nomination

the case, they are not averSe to Mr..
LoWden's entering the convention with

They figure that for one reason or
another MIR. Lowden Is not likely to
be nominated and ask, Where could the
Lowden delegates then go as grace

PARIS, September 21.--America' s
80, 900 ambassadors of the American
Legion are doing their work well and
nobly.
AS the Legion convention, with
its attendant festivities, progresses,
smoothly and without hitch, the i'm.
mense effect of their instructive and
unprecedented diplomacy becomes
more and more apparent.
They have made an unforgettable
impression-one that nothing can eff.
face" plain, everyday Partisan told
the correspondent.
The first novelty of their presence is
wearing off, but as they establish
closer and more familiar contact with
the population. the excellent impress
sion deepens. They are, as one Ameri.
can resident of Paris put it, Just
folks"
Fit Into Paris Picture.
A small but significant detail which
helps the French to a realization of
this is the fact that the Legionnaires
fit right into the Partisan picture.
They have eschewed the plus tours,
lurid pull-over sweaters and other sar-
torial eccentricities affected by many
Anglo-Saxon tourists. which never fail
to raise a smile among the Parisians.
They are neatly clad in plain we'll
fitting business suits, and but for
their Legion caps are indistinglishab BILE
in the streets from the Frenchmen.
The same applies in equal degree to
the Legion womenfolk. whose tailored
suits are just what the we'll dressed
Parisiennes wear.
The myriads of French radio users
who are following the activities Of the
Legion from easy chairs in their homes
were moved last night by an address
broadcast by Mrs. William Fl. Scho-
field of Peterboro, N. H., represent.
ing the Gold Star Mothers of the
Legion Auxiliary.
Sympathy Among Mothers.
"At the moment of our landing at
Cherbourg," she said, "the tears Of
the bereaved mothers Of France
mingled with those of America in an
understanding sympathy which needed
no expression in words.
yet while you-and we--mourn,
our hearts are stirred by the same
deep emotion-pride that, in the mo.
ment of testing, the sons we had
borne failed not, but that with heads
held high they set their feet upon the
path and paid the price that led to
victory. ''t
''Unfalteringly but not unwittingly
they renowned the palms and hopes
of their youth, that we who survive
might live in peace and security"

Harry N. McGoon, owner of a fox farm on Gain Island, was out hunting for deer recently, when he encountered a big brown bear that showed bellig- erent inclinations by rising oil his hind legs and making for the hunter. McGoon, who is a dead shot, permitted the huge animal to come within a few feet before firing. The big bear fell dead, almost at the feet of the hunter. On examin- ing the magazine of his gun a few minutes after, McGoon found that he had killed the animal with his last cartridge.
 The bear was huge one, it's feet measuring 13 inches.

As Moreau arose in an attempt to reach the tree, the bear struck at him viciously but he manag- ed to escape the full force of the blow by drawing back his head, receiving only a slight flesh wound on the forehead.
