DETROIT, Sept. B. (P Our first duty is to the people of the United States" This sentence, in serted in President Hoover's ad- dress at the last moment before the American Legion in which he urged them to renounce their demand for bonus, brought the World war veterans to their feet in cheers.
 However, at the coIlclusion of the speech, which was received re- spectfully and enthusiastically, the soldiers broke out in a ribald chant, we want beer" This seemed to be the tenor of the con- vention.
 Many of the Post headquarters had been raided the night before by a flying squad of prohibition agents and the boys were angry and showed it. The President told the soldiers the government rev. enueS had been cut in half since the depression set in.
