Cain IN May.
indianapolis Fifteenth in
List of rs Leading
Cities of U. S.

Indianapolis was fifteenth in a
list of twenty-five leading cities Of
the country in the amount of build
ing permits for May, according to
figures compiled by S. w. Strauss
& Co. This city's total was given as
$3O3S, $50, an increase for the same
moth last year and in 1926.
The 1927 figure for May was $2,-
42O,442 and $1,99l,2O2 in 1926.
Indianapolis led Pittsburgh,
Kansas City, Houston, San An
tonic, Dayton, San Francisco, Seat
tie, Oklahoma City, Portland and
Yonkers.
Gain Made in May
Those leading Indianapolis were,
in the order named, New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Cincin-
natl, Washington, Cleveland, Mil
waukee, st. Louis, Baltimore and
Albany
According to the Straus report,
statistics gathered from 562 lead
ing cities in every section of the
orty-eight States revealed a gain
in building permits in May of four
per cent, compared with May, 1927.
The figures were $374,889,045 and
1851 ,234,801.
FOrerunner of Prosperity
In nearly 600 cities and towns,
which contain more than eighty per
cent of the urban population Of the
country, there was gain in Janu-
airy of eight per cent and in Febru-
airy of seven per cent. The curve
then turned downward with loss
in March of four per cent, which
in April decreased to thirteen per
cent.
ct will be seen, therefore, that
while the May figures do not rep
resent a particularly large increase
in the volume of immediate build
ing prospects, they are of value as
a possible forerunner of summer
activities comparable with the pros
porous years of the immediate past"
the report says.

demonstration at the end of his
speech lasted ten minutes.
After speaking of the American
Legion in Paris last year., and the
parade, Major Scapini continued:
Yesterday I saw again evidence of
your union and strength. All this
reawakens in me memory of a time,
not so long ago when we were sacri-
ficing side by side in the trenches.
Much misery has come out of this
war. We veterans have touched with
our hands those sufferings. 1t is our
duty to instruct the generation which
follows US in the horror Of war; to
show them its absurdity."
Comrades of the American Legion,
we carry on our shoulders a heavy
duty to work with all our strength to
mainatin peace and hand in hand we
a accomplish this duty-and then
all the dead fallen on the fields Of
honor will sleep in peace"
Major Scapini read a message from
General Gourard Of France, who
numbered in his command, the firty
second, the second, including the ma
rines, and the thirty sixth divisions.
Assurance was given that no
changes will be made in the constitu-
ton at this session when the report
Of the committee on that subject,
rejecting all proposed amendments,
was unanimously adopted.

Keep Up Defense
Despite Treaties

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 10.-(P)
A promise that the administration
does not contemplate any weakening
Of the national defense because of
the recently signed Kellogg treaties
was given the American Legion here
today by Secretary of War Dwight F.
Davis IN an address in which he
praised the purpose and the states
manship of the documents.
"As secretary of war;" he said, 81
know the great value Of the support
which has been given by the Amer
lean Legion to our national defense.
DESTROYS Of peace, you nevertheless
have realized that we must not leUp-
ardize our heritage of liberty during
our search for a panacea for war.
Therefore, you will wish TO know
that your efforts have not been dis
directed. The government does not
intend that there should be any weak
ening Of the national defense as a re-
suit of these treaties"
The treaties Davis described as
"a preliminary treatment for an age
old cancer" pointed out that whereas
the ruler was once commander-in-
chief OF his people, the ruler now IS
commander-in-chief Of the army alone
and that people are now enlightened
and do not 90 to war as blindly as
they once did.
"The value Of this step (the peace
treaties) will be lost" Davis said, IF
we conceive IL to be a definite assur-
ance of a permanent establishment
of world peace. Unfortunately some
Of our citizens have thoughtlessly
Jumped 10 such a conclusion. Con-
trary 20 the advice of President Cool
idge and Secretary Kellogg there are
those who even advocat an immediate
rduction of our modest defense
forcs. II is obvious that any dis
armament to be effective must be
universal.
while there is in the administra-
tion a most sincere desire 10 promote
peace, and a very definite renuncia-
ton of aggressive war as an instru-
ment Of national policy. there is no
intention whatsoever on the part OF
our government TO jeopardize the
security Of ourselves or our pos
terity."

Frisco Urges Its
Need For Parity
In Rate Hearing

GALVESTON. Tex, Act. 1o.-CP-
The Frisco railroad will suffer heavy
losses in moving traffic to Oklahoma
and Arkansas unless the South At
lantic ports are kept on a rate parity
with those of the Gulf on cargo
originating in New York and the
eastern staboard territory and de-
Stanage, traffic manager of the st.
Louis and San Francisco railroad said
here today az a rehearing Of the
consolidated Southwestern rate case.
I'VE cannot hope to obtain any
great amount Of traffic in these
states with out his parity" Stanage
said. He added that the rate to
Oklahoma and Arkansas points at
present via the Southern Atlantic
ports was S2.70, and proposed a rate
Of $2.78 to apply as a maximum.
This would blanket the greater por-
ton of Arkansas end Oklahoma and
preserve the parity with the gulf
which has been in effect for more
than a quarter of a century, he said.
Stanage offered figures which were
intended to show that the present
differential in favor of the Gulf
ports under the South Atlantic to
Shreveport and Monroe, La, was is
cents, while to Texsrkana the diff
ference was 20 cents in favor Of the
Gulf. Other exhibits contained fig
