FRENCH BREAK CUSTOM
Foreigners Will March Under Arc
dc Triumph in Legion Parade.

For the first time since 1919, and
for the first time in French history
so far as a peace-time organization
is concerned, the French govern
ment is to permit a foreign people
to march under the Are dc Tri-
umph.
This announcement was made
here today by Howard P. Savage,
American Legion National Com
mander, on advices from abroad
that the Legion parade would be-
permitted to march under the lei s.
arch on its parade September 10. "
Such an unusual honor has never
before been accorded to a foreign
nation, Commander Savage said.
In 1919 when the Victory parade
passed under, it was in fact the al.
lied armies under the command Of
Marshal Foch. That the Legion
parade will also march under the
arch is a signal honor paid the Lee
gion and America by France.

of politics." General Andrews soon
found it was impossible.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the Anti-Salon League, and
the organized dry's spokesman in
Washington, was another who en-
lightened Andrews Andrews aroused
Wheeler's antagoniSm almost from
the beginning by his assertion
that if he could not enforce the dry
laws they could not be enforced.
Wheeler Says mo"
Not at all, retorted Wheeler. The
great experiment, he said, would go
on under other men and would not
be determined by the success or
failure of one mans methods.
Wheeler, as recent events show,
was right. Largely because of his
two-year war on Andrews the latter
was forced out of office.
The Leaguers were acquiescent to
the Andrews appointment for a few
months, as a matter of diplomacy.
Andrews was too brusque and bust
ness-like to please the professional
and evangelical drys. Instead of
insisting upon the holiness of the
prohibition cause, he tried to en-
force the dry lava grievous error,
apparently.
Moreover, Andrews tried to get
rid of Roy Haynes, the Leagues
contribution to Hardings admins
tration.
Wheeler Mortified
Wheeler held up his hands in
horror and scurried to the White
House. Senator Willis of Ohio
served notice on Andrews that
Haynes must be retained. So did
other leaders.
Haynes inefficiency was admit
ted, but his defenders impressed on
Andrews that he was a sign and a
symbol to the church people. So
Haynes was kept.
And thus the Anti-Salon League
won its victory over Andrews. Poll
ticc was in the saddle, and riding
hard-and only a month after An
drews took office with the beauti-
full hope of driving the politicians
from the temple--or stable.
