NEW YORK, September 18.-The

tonight, and nothing was quiet on
any front.

louder over the normal quiet of rivet-

the troops Of the American Legion

But there were no quiet side streets.
Legionnaires were on all the streets.
Legionnaires on foot. Legionnaires in
automobiles. Legionnaires in motors
rigged up to look like box cars (box
cars like the ones they rode in France)
and mounted with cannon that
doomed frightening booms.

banging away with its boxcar cannon

day another cannonading boxcar
showed up on Fifth avenue and with
one blank cartridge shot broke UP an

Policemen were everywhere, in twos

American flags, Legion banners and

NEW YORK, September 1s.-One

t1e price tag attached tonight to the
1887 national convention of the Amer
tran Legion.
In return for turning over the city
for five days, starting tomorrow, to
half a million Legionnaires. New
York's merchants expect to collect at
least s4o,o00,000 in gold, hard cash.
When the usual conventiongoer

Is not usual. He spends at least that
much, and usually much more. be-

Fun at Low Cost.
This time he will get that fun at
probably the lowest price he has ever
paid since he marched up Fifth ave-

For 50 he can buy book OF tickets
that are worth $50. The book will
take him to the top of the Empire

out to the Statue of Liberty, around
the Island of Manhattan on a boat
and to host OF other places. 1t will
admit him to all sorts of convention
contests and celebrations. And it will
save him so per cent of the cost Of
admission to the theaters.
One corporation alone expects to
sell him 100000 kazoo canes and
