Membership Drive On
?,t The "every - member - get-a-member"
campaign of the Le?ion begins to-day
jjj in every community in the United :
|j States in which there is a Legion post, \
It will not close until every member i
has obtained a member, or until the j
?j present enrollment of the organization ?
is doubled.
It was the wish of the late National !
| Commander, Frederick W. Galbraith
jr., that this drive be organized and his
last message was a plea for increased
M membership.
if] "Tb" Legion has earned the right,"
jjj he said, "to do something in a national

organization and the time has come to
exercise that rieht. T prop-'?" that the
m American Legion shall exactly double

,?? taking? Yes. tremendously simple.
Just an intensive effort when every
!!! Legion member in the world shall go
I out. lav a firm but friendly hand upon
H a buddy and sign him up. Every mem
ber get a member?and the job is
done."
Tb? n^w national commander is eele

it i:; the desire of Legion leaders to

War Risk Claims Reduced
A reduction of 29,476 in tha number
of pending compensation and insur?
ance claims of former service men and
women has been effected during the
last three months ol* the fiscal year
ending July 1, 1921, it is announced
to-day by Director C. R. Forbes, of
; the Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
i, This reduction in the number of claims
| ; on which final action is still to be
r j taken has been accomplished notwith
!?? standing the fact that new claims have
' been reaching the bureau during that
period at an average rate of from 700
to 800 a day, and that these new cases
? receive at once as complete action as
,. is possible on the data presented.
On April 1. 1921, there were pending
'.' before the bureau 99,401 claims for
compensation and 5.788 insurance
claims; on July 1, 1921, the account
I stands 67,000 pending compensation
claims and 3,025 pending insurance
; claims, while during that period of
time 66,268 new claims have been filed
with the bureau.

Navy Men Slugged
By Strangers; Two
Attacks a Mystery
One Stabbed and Another
Blackjacked ; Neither Has
Any Idea Why He Was
Assaulted or Who Did It
Edgar Bryant, a yeoman, and Arthur
I W. Harrold, a seaman, who work in the
same office in the navy yard receiving
ship, were attacked separately by thugs
oarly y%etcrdny morning on Sands
Street, near the yard. Bryant, believes j
i his assailants mistook him for same ?
one else.
They were two men, be said, one of
: whom bumped into him. At the same i
: moment he felt a pain in his neck and I
j lost consciousness. One of the men
j had stabbed him. The knife missed his
jugular vein and it was said at Cum?
berland Street Hospital, to which he
was takenfi that he would recover.
"The men never said a word to me," j
said Bryant, "and made n quick get
j away. I really believe it was a caso of
? mistakon identity, that they took ma
j for some one else. I learned from one
I of my pals thnt thero had been a fight
| in the street a few hours before."
Half an hour later Harrold was
blackjacked not far from where Bryant
! was attacked. He was taken to the
naval hospital with a severe scalp
wound.
"I do not know what hit me," said
| Harrold, "l M'as bound for the navy
! yard and was nlone. I understand from
witnesses that it was a man in civilian
clothes who struck me, but why he did
it I do not know."
Lieutenant Reuben C. Conner, who
was on the desk in the Poplar Street
police station, was shocked at the inti?
mation made by the injured sailors that
j civilians had atttacked them, possibly
gangsters. He said there hadn't been
' more than ten arrests for gang fighting
i in the precinct in three years, that
! everybody in that vicinity was law- !
j abiding and that he believed sailors had j
, attacked Bryant and Harrold.

of a ProlNuptial
Settlement
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
SYRACUSE, N. Y., July 3.?Miss
Cecil Ready, o? Syracuse, ,received a !
$200,000 pre-nuptial settlement a few j
days before she married seventy
three-year-old George M. Oyster jr., of |
Washington, a member of the Oyster I
family, is said to have told an inti- ?
mate friend.
Relatives of Mr. Oyster have made |
no attempt to screen their hostility
toward the beautiful young widow of ?
the Washington man, and in Mrs. j
Oyster's words at his funeral they j
showed her no more "politeness than i
decorum demanded."
Mrs. James Ready, mother of Mrs. !
Oyster, has just returned from Wash- ?
ington, where she has been visiting
her daughter. Siie refused to discuss i
the settlement. She said Mrs, Oyster j
was expected here soon for a visit.
The member of the Oy3ter family ;
who told of the pre-nurtial settle- \
ment, also declared that Mrs. Oyster '
had decided to accept her dowry rights .
in the estate without contest. The I
dairy business owned by Mr. Oyster
will eventually be owned by Henry
Browner, his partner, who held an op- i
tion on the property at the time of j
Mr. Oyster's death.

On the Screen
Gorgeous Photography Fen
turc? "The Conquering Pow?
er"; Revival of "Cabiria"
By Harriette Underhill
"The Conquering Power," mndc from
Balzac's story "Eugenie Gaudct," is the
feature at the Rivoli this week. In fear
and trembling we sat down in the the?
ater and waitod for the picture to bo
gin. We were afraid we weren't going
to like it, and in that case we should |
have to say so, and we are tired of J
being insulted by anonymous writers |
who suggest that we ought to be put ?
off The Tribune or drawn and quar- I
tered because we didn't like "The Black |
Panther's Cub," "Sowing- the Wind,"
"Carnival" and some others. So far,
no one has upbraided us for not liking
"Tradition," but it would not surprise
us if some one did. "What do you
want?" they say, and we answer now,
once for all, another "Conquering i
Power,"
We sat spellbound while the story ?
was unfolded on the screen, charmod |
by the youthful appeal, vivacity and j
cleverness of Rudolph Valentino, who ?
plays Charles Gaudet; by the restful
and perfect continuity of the story, by
the gorgeous photography, by the most
excellent and beautifully brief titles j
and by the splendid direction of this ?
man, Rex Ingrnm, although we have ?
mentioned Mr. Valentino, especially, it
is because he is the possessor of that
quality which would make you aware of
his presence even if the director de?
cided to UFe him as an extra. It is
something which the good fairy gives
you at birth and can never bo acquired
if one has it not. It will make a callous
world sit up and take notice; it will
make the most blas? become interested
in all of your doings. It has never
been defined, but is called personality.
If the cast is not all-star it should
be from now on. Alice Terry is de?
lightful and lovable in the title r?le.
Ralph Lewis does by far the best work
we ever saw him do as Pere Graudet, the j
old miser. Eric Mayne is perfect as j
Victor, the unfortunate father, and j
Edna Demaury, Edward Connelly and
George Atkinson are all excellent in
their parts.
When "The Four Horsemen" came to
town we missed it and never have had
a chance to see it since, but some one
who has seen both pictures told us yes?
terday that they liked "The Conquer?
ing Power" even better than the ear?
lier Ingram production.
No attempt is made to gain sym?
pathy for any one?the story holds no I
popular appeal, no lesson is hammered j
home?but the tale ig presented on the i
screen as delicately as it has been
photographed. It is full of soft, elusive j
shadows and high lights. And it has j
love and a certain amount of mystery j
and honor and retribution all done by a i
director who has a firm hand and a I
level head. No matter what you see on j
the screen you never have the feeling
that it is unreal.
Eugenie Grandlet Is the daughter of
a miser who is so rich that no one
can compute his wealth. His brother,
Victor, lives in Paris, and because he Is
open-handed and extravagant he is in?
volved in business difficulties which he
sees only one way out of. This way
he travels after sending his son,
Charles, to the tender mercies of his
miserly brother. Charles arrives dur?
ing Eugenie's birthday celebration, and
this is one of the most delightful
scenes it has been our pleasure to
witness on the screen?the meeting of
the gay Parisian Charles, who leads a
French poodle on its leash, and the
modest and beautiful Eugenie, who has
never been away from the village.
Particularly now, when so much is
being said and so much more is being
felt in regard to the German films, is
such a picture welcome? Germany has
turned out nothing finer. Need one
say more? The picture is presented by
Metro. The adaptation was made by
June Mathis.
The only other pictures on the pro?
gram .aro the Pictorial Review and
Tony .Sarg's almanac, "The Tooth Car?
penter," a delightful cartoon with lots
of animation.
The overture is American Fantasie,
with Susan Clough singing "The Star
Spangled Banner." Desha tloes a Danse
Orientale, which is an exact reproduc?
tion of a scene in the picture.
There is also a scene from Herodiade,
with Marcel Salesco, Mary Fabian,
Susan Clough, Desha, Vera Myers and
Gene Chfipelle. The dances aro ar?
ranged by Paul Oscard.
The first picture we ever saw was
"Cabiria" when it was presented in
1914 at the Knickerhocker Theater.
Like every one else we were stunned
by the bigness and magnificence of it
all and thrilled by the rescues and the
feats of strength of Maciste. We had
always supposed that his real name was
Maciste, and it was only when we
looked at the program at the Strand
yesterday, where the D'Annunzio mas?
terpiece is being received, that we
learned that his name was Ernesto
Pagini.
In looking back at "Cabiria" we have
realized that the story was very vague
in our mind. There were very long
stretches where we only knew that
vast armies were coming together and
were killing each other with spears
and pushing each other off the towers,
but we had no idea which sido to root
for because it was impossible to tell
friend from foe. Now, with our long
experience in movie plots and with a
well-regulated movie mind, we found
ourself still rather at sea.
We got along very well until Cabiria
grew up, but then we couldn't re
member who was the villain?villain

It does ?uako it difficult when they

And how did they ever get the sets
