Commander Emery reported that "in the face of adverse industrial conditions, which have hit the ex service men harder than any other class, the Legion hat gained ;n strength and its . financial position has steadily improved." lie suggested that the political clause in the legion's constitution,, which "will not permit any one who holds or it seeking salaried elective public o"ice to hold office in the legion or in any department or post thereof be extended to include ap pointive offices. He added .that he felt that "po person in public life, in community, state or nation, should be allowed to speak for the legion, and that the legion must be allowed to continue to speak for it self when issues involving service men are concerned, and then in terms which all the world will under stand."1 . , Propaganda Plot Bared. Commander Emery paid high tri bute to the late Commander Gal . braith. He said his one aim had been to carry through the great program which Commander Galbraith had left unfinished. - A notable public service of the past year, Commander Emery point- .l ...i .1.. mi .,..,!.. . ti vm, wss mi iiusifswun vi na tionwide German propaganda ram paign in the United States." This, he said, was to start with series of "Khme Horror" meeting. "The notorious propagandist. Von Math, believed he had so cleverly concealed his motives that he asked Galbraith to speak at the first Khine horror meeting at Madison Square Garden," Commander Emery said. "As you will remember, Galbraith did not wait that long before he spoke. Ile'told Von Mach on the spot what he fought. of him and his project. The Legion "prepared imi mediately to organize counter dem onstrations, wherever ;the pro-Germans might carry out their precon ceived program,. Most of - these meetings were never held, however! for Von Mach abandoned his scheme after one diatrous attempt at Mad ison Square Garden.". Greatest Achievement The greatest Legion achievement of the year. Commander Emery said, was won for the disabled serv ice men. its vigorous efforts result ing in creation of the veterans' bu reau. Prolonged cheers greeted Com mander Emery's charge that con-, grrss had been forced to bow to the will of the executive in the matter of delaying legislation for soldier com pensation. . The national commander asserted that President Harding held a con ference .with, a group of anti-corn-pensationist and tben went before congress to urge' that the-legislation be recommitted. - More cheers followed Mr. Emery s declaration that the legion was in the compensation fight to stay and that it would make its stand known to the world in unmistakable terms without consideration to party politics. .-. Vice President Calvin Coolidge was cheered as he entered the halL General Diaz. General JacQUM and Mai. Gen. John E. Lejeune of the United States marine corps, were to address the veterans this afternoon. This evening Admiral Earl Beatty will speak. It is estimated - that Illinois will be represented by at least 3,200 of its sons and daughters, all determined to boost to the limit the cand:dacy ot Gen. Milton J. Foreman, former state commander, for the national commandcrship. The names . and chances of probable candidates for the national office forms the main topic of conversation of the arriving delegations and they are many. At least 15 names are, expected- to', be filaced in nomination when trie bal oting begins. Aside from.- General Foreman's, the name most frequently mentioned is that of. Brig. Gen.

When it comes to "pep" the Oma ha bunch ; Vas outdated by the Iowa party which accompanied it on the trip to Kansas City. The Iowans had a snannv band and a bunch of "peppy" songs which they sang en thusiastically and trequentiy. iney carried large ears of corn wherever they marched, and between verses broke off the kernals and threw bandfuls at thtr listeners.

Coolidsc Predicts Great Future for American Legion Nothing Closer to Heart of President Harding Than Do lire to Relieve Wounded Veterans, He Says. Kansas City, Mo., Oct Jl.-Noth-ing U closer to the heart of .'resi dent Harding ttian'to make the re lief for incapacitated war veterans absolutely complete; no ninii not in the service has a deeper appreciation of what that service meant, of the sacrifices made by the veterans, of the obligations incurred by the coun try and no man will go further to minister to the true welfare of those who have been in the service and their dependents than the president of the United States, Vice President Calvin Coolidire told the national convention of the American Legion here today. "He will ever sacrifice you for his Own welfare. He will sacrifice liim self for your welfare. He will Aa all that can be done to prevent the need of your again sacrificing your selves for your country's welfare," Mr. CtMilidge muI. The vice president reviewed what has been done so far toward reliev- iiia, the incapacitated veterans: paid histh tribute to the valor of Amer iea'a armed forces and declared the 1gion represented a "ncwMiatlon af consciousness." He made a plea against sectional ism, which he said had been largely wiped out by' the fusing forces of war and predicted a great future in the nation' life fur the American legion. Solemn Obligation. "In recognition . of the solemn obligation to you and your country men of economy and peace, a con ference of certain great powers, called on the initiative of the president-of the United States is about to assemble in Washington." he continued. "It proposed to search for a solution of problems arising from the convergence of many dif ferent nations in the Pacific and to provide by mutual agreement a limitation of armament. ... It pro r,oed no burden, it promises relief at home and a better understanding abroad. If it ran be accomplished Us blessings will be reflected Irom every fireside in the land." Aims Meeting Will Test World Faith (t'Mliaaesl Tag Oat.) by conquest; she would not accept it as a gift. "Within her borders lie unoccu pied lands sufficient to sustain population treble that which she now has. Well, indeed, may she reot content a friend to all nations and, so far as her people are aware, without an enemy In the world. 'The coming conference therefore, prcget no arbiiratment of the sword. It it an ordeal not of battle but of faith," Discussing the argument in con gress whether the army should com prise 100.0(H) or 150,000, he repeated the observation of a Dritith states mad that "its only excess is in its moderation." Recalls Navy Program. He recalled the embarkation of America during the war on a nava! program, designed to make the American navy equal to that of any other power, and continued: ' There was no criticism ol that prudent action then. That program was in process ( execution in the early part of the present yV.tr, Sud denly there came a change. The president announced his intention ol calling conference, ('radically simultaneously, at the Instigation of the president, congress reduced the normal appropriation from SlBfOOO,. 000 to $VU.000.0G0 which, taking into account the increased cost of labor and materials, represented barely 40 per cent of the sum which ordinarily would be alloted. In consequence the present into of naval construction is about 40 per cent of the normal." Furthermore, he commented, the stipulation of congress prevents "in any event except war itel(." the beginning of the building of a war ship of anv type before July I, Vli. The deduction was irrcsitible, he continued. President Haa Way. . "The president." he said, "seems to say by his acts that the way to disarm is to disarm. Even so. his clear vision is dimmed by no illus ions. None knows better than he that the traditions of centuries can not be swept aside over night, none more fully realize that to attempt too much is to jeopardise the pros pert of any fulfillment." Whatever the outcome ot the Washington deliberations, le d dared, "conditions cannot remain ti e sjine. With ill rnHiiit nf ilia ennm fere me Mill surely come to the hearts of hundreds of millions either gUddenlug hope 'or deepening des pair. So, too, with the relations of our beloved eountries. The bond of friendliip and forbearance, which now hold us more closely together than rter before in I eentuiy, am bound to be strengthened or iclax ed by what happens in Washington. If we cannot art in unison now there is slight reason to believe we ever can. "The project of raising front the straining backs cf peoples the but. riens of Rreut armaments oilers a line of less remittance than was ever before presented. No less essential is the removal t f the causes of war which still hover over the Tacific. More difficult : but is not a happy atiRiiry to he found in the fact that all such dread possibilities have disap peared from the Atlantic. "The Washington conference marks only the blazing of the trail, only the beginning.
