The American Legion News: Local, State, National General Wood, Governor Smith and Commander d'Olier to Speak at Convention in Albany Committee, Planning Pur? chase of Clubhouse for Manhattan Veterans, Meet To-morrow Night A cisne? *t the program for the American Legion*? stat? convention at Albany next month vindicates the judgment of State Commander Wade H. Hayes In his selection of a com? mittee on arrangements. It Is unlikely that any department organisation of the Legion in the United States will have a more imposing ar? ray o: notahles as Its guests during its convention than that gracing the pro? gram for New York. .Addresses ?re to be made by Major General Leonard Wood, Governor Smith and Franklin d'Olier, national com? mander of the Legion. The Governor and Major James R. Watt, of Albany, will welcome the delegates, and State Commander Hayes is scheduled to make the response. The chaplains of the convention will be Father William Keane and the Rev. Albert C. Larned, and additional addresses will be made to the delegates by National Adjutant Lemuel Bolles, R. T. Fisher, district vocational officer of the Federal Board for Vocational Training; R. Rexford Shaffer, of the War Risk Insurance Bu? rea, and a representative of the pub? lic heaith service. Five deiogates-at-large and about seventy-five delegates are to be chosen to attend the national convention at Cleveland, and it i? probable that a spirited contest will take place for those offices. New state officers also must be elected, and thus far only two candidates have appeared, as far as is known. One i? William F. Deegan, Bronx County Chairman, who was in? dorsed by his county at its convention early this month. A determined effort will be made to install him as first vice-commander of the state. It is al? most certain that the new state com? mand? r will be an up-state Legionnaire, and "Wild Bi'.i" Dor.ovan, former com? mander o? the Fighting 60th, is a likely choice. Apparently the convention is to be one at, whirr, a creat deal of good work will he accomplished. While some of the county organizations in the state have differences of their own, it is un likely thai any group will have an ax to grind with the state executives. Of course, 'here will be scores of resolu? tions ofTereoi, seme of them possibly exceedingly drastic, but the cooler heads will prevail and it is almost a certainty that the convention will ac? quit itself well. Club Committee To Meet The committee recently appointed by Henry W. Buxton, New York County chairman, for the purpose of discuss? ing plans for the purchase of the old Gern-.ar. I lub in Fifty-ninth Street as a permanent home for the Legionnaires of Manhattan, will meet to-morrow evening at 5:30 o"clock at county head? quarter?, 569 Lexington Avenue. A preliminary report will be drawn up for Bubm ss:on to tho countv commit? tee, which is scheduled to convene at the same place the same evening. Kings Delegates Named The two-day convention of the Kings County organization ended last Wednesday evening in the 23d Regiment Armory with a splendid record for constructive deliberation. While the twenty resolutions passed for the fu? ture consideration of the state con? vention were virtually along the same lines as th^se already passed by other counties of the greater city, the en? thusiasm was none the less great. Delegates to the state convention werp named and the real democracy of the L?zion was eloquently illustrated in the results of the balloting. The highest number of votes were cast for J. A. Washington, a negro veteran, of George P. Davis Post. The other dele? gates named and their posts were as follows: Prank Howard. Flatlands; John W. Frost, George Washington; William F. Butler, Joyce Kilmer; Bart J. Hunt, Brooklyn; George Chase, J. L. Young; Francis Sinnott, Democracy; Dr. Cos grove, Borough Park. The alternates wore Thomas F. Ward, 106th Infantry; Henry Lakestream, J. W. Person; Irene Lamb, Edith C?vell; J. H. McCaffery, 1st Cavalry; J. H. j Collyer, Fraternity; Alfred P. Thomas. : 13th Regiment; David Armstrong, Old ; Glory, and J. J. Bennett, Gilbert J. I Doyle. "40 Hommes, 8 Chevaux" Let them raise the rates ror Pull- i ?an seats and berths. Likewise, may they continue the skyrocketing of pas? senger fares on the railroads. What cares this group of Philadel? phia Legionnaires who have formed an : organization to be known henceforth *s "40 Hommes, 8 Chevaux," which will be remembered by not a few as the boxcar legend of France? About 1,000: members of this new organization are going to attend the annual convention tt Cleveland, and they already have ar? ranged to enter the Ohio city in box-1 ears bearing their motto, "40 Hommes, ; I Chevaux." 27th Ready fcr Reunion Veterans of O'Ryan's 27th Division, destroyer--, of the Hindenrjurg line, are, ?gain reminded that their reunion takes place m Saratoga September Y2 *nd 14, and thousands of old "buddies" Will get the opportunity to slam each other on the back. Many of the 27th ! Veterans will go to Saratoga directly1 ?on. the Legion convention at Albany, i Leviathan Party Thnradny The big garden f?te of the Leviathan < Naval Post, by which the member? of that group of Legionnaires hope to raise sufficient funds to enable them to acquire their own clubhouse, will be given next Thursday afternoon and evening in the City College Stadium, 188th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.

Aronowitz, State Adjutant, at 86 State Street, Albany. Adjutant Aronowitz has a com? plete list of hotels available and will make reservations on order from any member of the Legion. Residents of Albany have pre? pared to give a royal welcome to the convention delegates. A series of entertainments, includ? ing boxing exhibitions, have been arranged, and members of the women's auxiliaries of that city will open several canteens where refreshments will be served at a nominal cost. 50 th ANNIVERSARY 1870 ? 1920 A LOT of people have the idea that a safe deposit company rents boxes exactly as a hotel rents rooms?that certain locations are more de? sirable than others.

"Brazen Conduct" of Politicians OSSINING, N. Y., Aug. 22.?Captain T. A. Brady, U. S. A., retired, a widely known prison crusader whose testi? mony, it Is said, caused the removal of T. J. McCormick, a former warden of Sing Sing, has sent a letter to Gov ernor Smith .urging the re?stablUhment of The Sing Sing Bulletin, the prison newspaper, recently suspended. In his letter Captain Brady urges that publication of the paper be re? sumed and that Major Lewis E. Lawes, the warden, be "given a freo hand to Tun It." The Captain charges that a "brazen effort was made to have the Sing Sing newspaper edited, made up and censored from Albany.' Captain Brady mak.s a sweeping attack on per? sons described as "Albany politicians," whom he charges with ''hampering, harassing and handicapping" Warder Lawes in his work. Warden Lawes still refuses to makt a statement in regard to the suspensioi of The Bulletin. It was learned to-da; that the State Prison Commission ha?. called upon Charles F. Battigan, Super intendent of Prisons, to restore Tin Bulletin. It is understood, also, tha members of the commission have in? sisted that Warden Lewes phall be per? mitted to run The Bulletin without in? terference from Albany. The Federation of Women'? Clubs of New York City and many other ?o cieties have sent Warden Lawes assur? ance? of their support in the contro? versy. -?

Uutftr The Plot of the Story TO-DAY pirates do not sail under the black flag; nor do they go about with daggers gripped between their teeth and a skull and crossbones on their hats. To-day pirates dress like other people, use steam yachts instead of sailing vessels and substitute gold pocket knives for the bloody dagger. They are not interesting enough to write about. They are modern. To-day, no doubt, Romeo and Juliet are strolling through fields of asphodel keeping gentle watch on the current generation of ? lovers. But Juliet of to-day has cast aside her cap of pearls for a sport hat and her flow? ing tresses are bobbed. Romeo is more in? terested in baseball than he is in scaling bal? conies. We cannot watch their romance with bated breath and tear-dimmed eyes. Because they are modern. A Story Worth Telling But a tale could be told that has romance, mystery and climax, even though it is most modern in theme, in setting and in result. It is the story of Rotary. A story worth telling. A story worth reading. It is almost inconceivable that a handful of men should drop a single idea in the middle of the business sea and have the ripples extend from the room in which? they sat, in Chicago, less than fifteen years ago, to the furthest corners of the earth, until to-day they have installed the Rotary spirit in the breasts of more than sixty thousand men and have planted the Rotary standard on the soil of almost every civilized nation of the world! Yet this is the story of Rotary. Invisible Fingers The secret of the Arabian Nights triumph of Rotary lies in the fact that Rotary is more interested in ethers than it is in itself. Rotary Activities?the uplift of the underprivileged boy, the making of better Amer? ican citizens, the care of the discharged, disabled sol? dier?all these have been invisible fingers which have touched the hearts and minds of thinking men who are striving for the world's betterment as well as their own. The right sort of heart and the right sort of mind are cast in pretty much the same mold all the world over?that much Rotary has found out in the past few years. Find Out More About It The Rotary Club of New York wants every man and woman who reads this page to realize just what the spirit of Rotary means not only to Rotarians, but to all those with whom Rotarians come in contact. The business men represented on this page practice Rotary precepts. They are pledged to respect the confidence of the public to the extent of sacrificing personal profit if need be. A Rotar?an asks no more of the other man than he demands of himself. The moral of this story is summed up in the Rolar]) Slogan, "He Profits Most Who Serves Best."
