FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Nd,
Sept. 2o.-Deploying over the rain
soaked fields Of Fort Meade and the
surrounding territory, an invading
Army Of 1000 infantrymen sought to-
day to capture q mythical gold hoard
buried on the northern edge of the
fort
Stimulating in many ways an imag-
mary attack on Fort Knox. KY, where
the bulk Of the Nations gold is buried.
the tnfantrymen worked toward q
climax in the annual maneuvers of
the I'd Corps Area, which began a
week ago and will continue until Fri
day.
The Blue" Army invaders extended
theoretically from Frederick to Port
Tobacco, Nd, but actually they were
trying to keep their feet and powder
dry after a week end of rain that con-
tinued yesterday and last night.
The attackers are led by Brig. Gen.
Walter Kreuger Of the 18th Brigade,
until last June 30 chief of war plans
at the War Department in Washing
ton. The general and his officers spent
the night in pup tents with the troops
Defending the gold hoard is Red"
Army Of 400 cavalrymen supported by
field artillery and tanks, making theo-
retical lightning dashes to disconcert
the invaders. Col. Jonathan VAIN
wright is commander OF this Army.
Huge urns Of hot coffee were emptied
early today as the troops sought to
relieve the chill OF . nights sleep in
the rain. Mud was everywhere. and
one soldier compared the Battlefield"
to the Somme during the World War
and wondered how the tanks would
get along.
Gen. Kreuger, whose first love Is
the infantry, stepped to bat for the
cavalry today, with a prediction that
tanks and mechanized units moth
withstanding-the exit Of the horse
from Uncle Sans Army Is a long time
away.
He said. There are too many draw
backs to operations Of motorized forces
gasoline. impossible terrain, engine
troubles and other factors-to make
them fully effective under all condi-
tions."

ARABIAN VISITOR
ASSA|LSz|0N|STS
Palestine No More Theirs
Than Britain Is ItaIy's,
Says Fakhri Bey.

If the Italians suddenly announced
section of England should be set
aside for them because the Romans
once conquered it and lived there, their
proposition would likely be laughed at.
But this, in the opinion Of Fakhri
Bey Baroudi, leader in the Arabian
Nationalist movement, member of the
Syrian Parliament, former Syrian sec
retary of state and scion Of an old
Arab family who fought with LAu-
renee in 1915, is Just what the Zionists
are attempting to do in Palestine
hence the squabbling between Zionists
and Arabs.
Fakhri Bey arrived in Washington
yesterday for an indefinite stay. He
wants to pay his respects to President
Roosevelt and arrange for Syrian par
ticipation in the New York Worlds
Fair. Among other things, he plans
to see the French Ambassador Syria
being under the French aegis-and
hobnob with the Syrian community
here, one Of the most important In
the United States.
Through Interpreters Fuad K. Mu-
farris and Father Benjamin K. Hofhz,
head of the Syrian Orthodox Church
in Washington, he said:
I'VE have no religious bone to pick
with the Zionists. Jews are OF the
same racial stock as Arabs, and thou
sands are enrolled under the banner
OF Arabian nationalism. which pro-
poses to unite the Arabian Peninsula,
1raq. Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and
North Africa into a United States of
Arabia.
Palestine is square in the center
OF this area. Here the Zionsts are
attempting to carve out q separate
country of their own in q land no
more rightfully theirs than England
is 1taly's.'
The whole thing goes back to the
time OF Moses, he explained, when
the Hebrew tribes came out of Egypt
in the 14th century BIC. Palestine
was not entirely Jewish except under
David and Solomon. The latter's two
oOAAo' oSAOSOoAl hAlO xt1lCODOdm OlVlQeO
1t. The Assyrians lost" 10 tribes. the
Babylonians, Persians and Greeks
helped and the Romans finished up
the job in 70 AID. with the pillaee
Of Jerusalem.
THE Arabs were there before the
Jews were there with them and have
been there ever since" he said.
The Arabic peoples have been
kicked around from pillar to post for
centuries and their lands partitioned
by Europeans. Yet it was they who
fostered the arts and sciences which
make modern civilization possible
through the dark ages when Euro
peans were virtual barbarians. We
believe we have every right to op-
pose the Zionists and establish a ma
ton of our own" Fakhri Bey said.

10000 VETERANS
|NPARADE TODAY
Affair Expected to Be Next
to Greatest in Legion
History.
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20.-The
might of the American Legion, repre-
sentatives Of posts in every State and
from across the sea, went on parade
today in the display Of power and
color which highlights each national
convention OF the organization.
When dusk falls tonight, officials
expected that 10000 blue-capped vet
Grams would have tramped the 20
blocks Of the line Of march and into
Memorial Coliseum. there to pass in
review before National Comdr Daniel
J. Doherty, his aides and distinguished
guests.
Another demonstration of might
that Of the Army Air Corps-also was
. feature of the parade program.
While the procession of marching
units, drum and bugle squads, floats
and bands passed by, 200 bombing,
attack and pursuit planes under Brig.
Gen. Delos c. Emmons, commanding
officer of the 1st Wing Airforce, were
to cut triangular l50-mile path from
the Army's base at March Field to
the coliseum, south to the seacoast
at Long Beach, then back to March
Field.
May Be One Of Longest.
The parade gave promise of being
the longest the West has ever seen, and
the second greatest in the Legion's his
tory. exceeded only by that at New
York last year. Starting at am.
(P. S. T), it was expected to end
some time between 6 and pm.
BY virtue of winning last nights
drum and bugle corps competition,
the Herbert G. Akroyd Post of Marl-
boro, Mass, will be accorded the place
Of honor in today's line of march.
How many would see the 10 parad-
Ing divisions could hardly be esti-
mated The coliseum seats 100000,
and Chief of Police James E. Davis
said he believed more than half a
million people" would try to squeeze
into the line Of mach.
The parade was the sole important
item on today's program.
Speeches Bait Reds.
The Legions campaign against sub
versive activities was keynoted in
speeches by Gov. Frank F. Merriam
of California, Fred G. Fraser of Wash
ington, D. c., chef de chemin de fer
of the Forty and Eight, Legion come
dy organization, and ]. Edgar Hoover,
r. B. I. head.
Gov Merriam and Mr.. Fraser both
rallied at Harry Bridges, c. I. o. ON
cial. as radical labor leader.
Mr.. Hoover, talking at Comdr. Do
herty's dinner. labeled Communism
and Fascism two twin horrid, spec
tral growths Of an alien soil and an
alien spirit"
Downtown Los Angeles, harried by
traffic blocking tactics of the Forty
and Eight, watched and cheered last
night as the funsters staged their an
nual parade-and hoped that its men,
bers might tire themselves sufficiently
30 that they would be willing to let the
street cars alone for a few hours, at
least.
