BIZ United Press
DUBLIN, Aug. 18.-John links Of

ports that he would be expelled from

After consultation with my con-
stituents," links told the United
Press, (which resulted in a decision
to vote in favor of the government,
I sat in the Dali until I had heard
both sides of the argument. Then,
I decided that the best way to serve
the interests concerned was for me
not to vote one way or the other. I
walked out of the house,
Without John links the vote was
II to II and the speaker cast the
deciding vote in favor of the gov
eminent.

dence in the government having

Watermelon Lures Boys
to Career of Burglary
Youngsters Seek Adventure
and Wind Up in Deten-
ton Home.

A wistful-eyed 12-year-old boy at
the Detention Home, 225 e. Michi-
gan St.. today told how a water
melon, big, juicy. red-hearted one,
started him on a series of robberies
that landed him in police station
Wednesday.
The youth and two companions,
10 and IA, confessed, according to
Detective Chief Fred Simon Ito
twelve commission and warehouse
robberies. Five of the robberies
were committed wi5hin a block of
ijciICe headquarters. Two of the
youths were arrested Friday night
in the Ha-lilton- Harris warehouse,
5oi 5. senate Ave. They implicated
the youngest boy.
Wanted Watermelon
The loot most taken was boxes of
candy and fruits, although some
money and stamps we're taken.
ut was really because we were so
hungry for watermelon that it all
began" the boy at the Detention
Home explained.
" You see the other boys found out
that there we're some dandy melons
Its awful easy to get Them" they
said. I'VE crept through a grating
in the back alley. Sure enough, the
watermelons we're there and we
broke open big one, slamming it
down on the floor We stayed right
there and ate it.
"Afterward, whenever we got real
hungry, we stole into places and
looked for good things to eat. We
didn't think about it being wrong
1t ticst seemed like an adventure
seeirg if you could find thinSS. AT
mt We 6idn't lock for money. Once
or twice after We had just come
across some tiaou.h, and had gone
to shows and bought little things
we kinda got in the habit of looking
but we were always just about as
glad to end candy and good stuff
to eat.
His Mother Cried
"AS first it was hard to get into
places and sort of scary. Some
times at night I've got a little
worried thinking about what might
happen if we got found out, but it
kept getting easier to break in. We
just got more 'Sperience guess.
Once when we came out of store
we'd found a swell box Of candy
on desk there I remember
looked around.
Gee, I says 10 ole of the fellows
We're just right up by the jail
you know, the one where they put
big people in
when I was in bed Tuesday night
my mother came and walked me up
Gee, it was terrible. A policeman
had told her about me. She cried
awful. So did I. I'm never going
to steal anything again, when I
get out of here. I'm going to start
bicycle shop and work hard so
my mother won't be sorry she's got
me. Gee, I wish 1 hadn't ever gone
after that old watermelon that
time"

FIRST LEGION
GROUP REACHES
PARIS QUIETLY
Five Hundred Men Com
prise First Convention
Delegation. :

BIZ United Press
PARIS, Aug l8.-Five hundred
American Legionnaires spread
through Paris today on sightseeing
trips or clustered around boulevard
cafe terraces, taking of the days
of the war.
The Legion delegation was the
first to arrive here fer the Septem-
Der convention. They came by train
from Cherbourg
A few Frenchmen and women
who had known the returning vet
Grams during the war were at the
station and there were relatives of
some of the French girls who mar
ried Americans.
War Brides Happy
Praise for America and happiness
at being back for a visit iii France
dubbed from the war brides.
Most of Cherbourg still was
asleep whens tenders landed the
legionnaireS on the quay.
Several of the returning Ameri-
cans Enthusiastically showed disap-
pointment that their return to
France had not been made the
occasion of at least a band and a
squad or so of troops.
Among the arriving Legionaires
were several who were aboard the
first convoy which revived hope in
French hearts when the allies had
their backs to the wall"
They recalled how their liner
arrived at st. Nazaire during the
night accompanied by destroyers.
None among the civilian population
expected them. The people Of st.
Nazaire awoke that night to thrill
at the sight of the United States
flag waving over huge vessel
filled with American troops.
Prayers Answered.
For some days the good folk of
France had been praying that the
Americans would come through the
submarine zone unframed.
One week later, July IA, 1917,
which was Bastille Day, Paris saw
its first Americans in movement
through her streets. They had not
yet received their overseas service
equipment and marched in broad
brimmed felt hats, but they were
enough to prove that the Americans
had entered the war.
Despite the early hour of their ar
rival here today and the absence of
an official welcome, the Legionnaires
were happy to return to France.
Songs of the war which their voices
had sent reverberating against
French hillsides many years before
once more doomed in quick time
cadence. AS the Legionnaires went
aboard their train they seemed
agreed that the Forthcoming con-
vention would complete the work
of re-establishing the foundation
for Franco american friendship.
the cornerstone of which was laid
by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.

MISSIONARIES
IN China Are
Sent WARNING
U. S. Maintains Neutrality
Position in Chinese
Civil War.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-The
United States government today
decided to issue another warning to
American missionaries to keep out
of interior Chinese districts, where
civil war is flaming again.
The State Department an
nounced:
I'm vieV of advices from Ameri-
can officials in China. the depart
ment is communicating with the
various missionary organizations in
the United States pointing out that
it appears t. be highly inadvisable
for Americans in general to return
at this time to the interior of China
without consulting the American Of
ficials who are stationed in those
districts to which they wish to re-
turn"
At the same time,-the administra-
ton determined upon a policy of
strict neutrality. Efforts of certain
foreign groups to take alleged adj
vantage of Chinese internal dis
sension are frowned upon here.
Faced with Chinese situation
growing daily more chaotic and
delicate, this government will con-
tent itself with assuring protection
for Americans in Shanghai and
other concentration ports, while re-
framing from action aimed to
thwart legitimate aspirations of the
Chinese. it is said.
Reliable reports explain the pres
ent strife as resulting from disinte-
grafton of the dual nationalist gov
ernments at Hankow and Marking,
and consequent conservative often
