TO ATTEND PARIS CONVENTION
Ceremony at Tomb of Unknown Soldier
Will Precede Departure for France.
Roster for Trip Announced.

committee will also arrange for con-
certs and dances.
Because of all passengers having
freedom of the ship" it would be
impossible to accommodate all passen-
gers at the same dance, and the COM
m1ttee will arrange different nights
for the various States during the trip.
On the Pennland with the District
outfit viii be Legionnaires from Vir-
ginia, West Virginia. Kentucky. Ten
nessee and North Carolina.
IN speaking of the trip an official
from national headquarters stated to
Star representative that the wise
traveller viii limit his baggage to one
suit case and perhaps a very small
oVernigL handbag in addition. He
explained that, the French trains diff
fer greatly from American trains,
especially from the standpoint of com
position. Above each row of seats
there is baggage rack for suit cases
and handbags. Each person is al
lowed the use of the baggage rack
space above his seat-and no more.
Since this space is usually not more
than rs inches wide one can readily
see the necessity of carrying baggage
which will not be longer than IS
inches. In regard to clothing to be
taken along, it is suggested that
Legionnaires cut their list down to
the minimum and then divide that by
half
French Railway Tickets.
Legior nares are urged by national
headquarters to be on the pier at least
two hours before sailing, at the latest,
to permit examination of tickets, etc.
On board the official steamers, east.
bound, Legion passengers are advised
to purchase from the purser of the
boat, at least two days prior to ar
rival on the other side, their railway
tickets for the journey between the
L1rt and Paris. These tickets will be
sold at reduction of so per cent off
the regular fares between Antwerp
and Paris, Havre and Paris or Cher
bourg and Paris. Similar reductions
are available to Legion certificate
holders for their return trip from
Paris and these ports, and these
tickets for the return trip should be
purchased at the Paris office of the
steamship line on which the return
trip Is to be made.
An honor which has heretofore
never been enjoyed by any foreign
people In time of peace will be ac-
corded to the Legionnaires by France.
That is the privilege of passing
through one of the archways of the
Are de Triumph" What will be
be established just prior to the time
the parade reaches the arc. on Mon
day, September 49, Under it hes the
remains of Frances Unknown Soldier,
symbolic of the million dead who
gave their lives to France. Over 1t
burns the eternal flame, which sym.
bolizes the ideals for which these men
and thousands of Americans died. 1t
will be the Legion's rare honor to
pass under the arc to the right of
the Unknown's tomb--pass through
in solemn silence with barred heads to
pay tribute to those Frenchmen by
whose side America fought.
