PARIS, Jan. 6 IN.S0.-Repre-
sentatives Of the American Legion
in Paris today cabled to the State
Department at Washington ap-
pealing to the department to re-
quest French permission for Paris
American LegionnaireS to march
in the Joffre funeral procession as
official United States troops.
French Refuse Plea
The cable was forwarded after
the French war ministry had re-
fused the legionnaires' direct re-
quest, on the grounds that the
legion is war veterans organiza-
ton and, therefore, eligible only
to a place among other veterans
organizations.
The legionnaireS are content
with this ruling except that they
fear misunderstanding would re-
suit if the United States were not
represented by official troops in
the procession, and point out that
they were accorded recognition as
official troops when they
marched with General Pershing in
the funeral procession of Marshal
Ferdinand Foch.
The French government today
requested Gen. Stanley H. Ford,
United States senior military at
tache to the American embassy,
to act as honorary pail bearer for
Marshal Joffre. .
At 9 o'clock tonight, escorted
by a squadron of cavalry, the
cortege will leave the Ecole Mil
itaire and continue to the Arc de
Triomphe. Silence will fall upon
the vast throng expected there

After services at Notre Dame,
the cortege will wend its mourn
full way to Les Invalides, where
Marshal Joffre's body will be
placed temporarily in a vault
pending it's transfer within the
next few months to its perma-
nent resting place in the Joffre
Garden at LouvecienneS.

artillery will march in front and

UPHOLDS
PATENT CLAIM

The Court of Appeals today
published an opinion affirming
the action of Justice Wendell P.
Stafford in holding valid a patent
belonging to the Stelos Company
for mending silk hosiery. The
opinion recalls one of the most
interesting equity cases to be
heard in the '0cal courts in many
years.

The Stalos Corporation brought
a suit in equity against the Finch
Corporation alleging infringement
on it's patents in the use of a
hook for catching runs in stock
ings, and during the trial of the
case each party to the suit.
brought it's attractive female op-
orators. Justice Stafford was the
interested spectator who witnessed
the girls as they piled their
needles into stockings that had
been stretched over teacups.
Remarked on Simplicity
Justice Charles w. Robb wrote
the courts opinion and remarked
that the simplicity of the method
causes wonderment that it had
not been thought Of before. The
inventor is not obliged, the court
ruled, to describe all the many
forms of an apparatus by which
it may be practiced in order to
secure to himself exclusive right
to the method.
Attorney Henry H. Gilligan rep
resented the Stelos Corporation.
