The American Legion News: .Local, State, National Thanksgiving Cheer for Sick and Wounded Ex-Service Men Urged in Plea by Slate Commander Deegan Fathers of Legion Members Will Organize in Kings; Foch Expresses Pleasure Over Receptions in City "In the midst of our own joy and thanksgiving let us not forget those Who hove less for which to be thank? ful" was the appeal sent out yesterday from the state headquarters of the American Legion in the Hall of Rec? ords by State Commander William F. _><:ogan. "While we are surrounded by our iamilics, thanking God that wo have come safely through another year, let tis remember those of the ex-service wen who have not yet left the hoarj pit?is. Let us remember also .those thousands whose wounds and injuries mceived in service have sent them to the hospitals within the last year, where they still await, some hopelessly! tetter.days. "When we remember that thousands aro coming down yearly with tubercular ttoubles from king gassed over there wo can see that some of these -poor chaps have little to be thankful for. Let a grateful American public which has just made tribute to an unknown hero, try a little to lift the load of care from those in the hospitals, the rest camp$-the institutions where they are ?till struggling manfully against-, the greatest enemy. ??Baskets of home-cooked dainties, flowers, books, cigarettes, pipes, to? baccos?all these will -help. But a personal visit and the warm hand clasp of a patriotic American who really wants those heroes to get well and makes them feel that he appreciates their every sacrifice?that is the best help of all." - Fathers to Organize Fathers whose son's.are members o* the American Legion have for some time felt they have been slighted in the organizing of various auxiliaries. Police Lieutenant John F. O'Grady, whose home is at 559 Seventy-ninth Street, Brooklyn, and whose family has been actively identified with Legion affairs, has undertaken the task of cre? ating an auxiliary composed solely ?f the fathers of Legionnaires. With this purpose in view he has called a meeting for December 6 in the Kings County headquarters at 123 Schermerhorn Street. Since its start the movement has gathered momen? tum and a record attendance js anticipated. At the meeting several prominent members of the legion \n Kings County will make addresses and an effort will be made to have the " Daddy" Club established. Lieutenant O'Grady has invited every man who has a son in the Legion to attend this meeting and help in setting down the by-laws of an organization which will ?share the burden of supporting the Legion in all its activities with the members of the Women's Auxiliary.

"I am back on the job, and will per? form my duties to the best of my ability," was all ho would say. Danes Greet U. S. Envoy COPENHAGEN, Nov. 23.?Dr. John D.

Traitel Also Asserts Wealthy Spouse Spoiled Party at Pelham Heath Inn and Used Rum Charging frequent drunkennc.ss and cruelty, Mrs. Mildred Franklin Traitel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan E. Franklin, of the Hotel Willard, is suing David S. Traitel, wealthy marble con? tractor, for separation. Tho first hear? ing of her charges was set yesterday in tho Supreme Court for next Mon? day. Sho asks alimony of $100 a week and counsel fees of $2,600 on the con? tention that the income of her husband from tho Traitel Marble Company, of Long Island City, is $150,000 a year. Until Mrs. Traitel went to the hotel to bo with her parents she and her hus? band divided their time between their apartment, at 145 East Forty-fifth treet, and their Bummer home, at Belle Harbor. She saya she is without in? come except $224 a year from railroad stocks given to her by her grandfather, Harris Franklin, when she was a little girl. The grandfather, a wealthy re? tired mining man, lives at tho Hotel Savoy. Mildred Franklin and David Traitel were married in Washington November 5, 1918, following their elopement from New York soon after tho woman, then only nineteen years old, had been graduated from the fashionable Semple School for Girls. At that time her father was president of the First Na? tional Bank of Deadwood, S. D. At present he is the head of the Kny Scheerer Corporation of America, dealer in surgical instruments. Traitel, his wife charges, began hits mistreatment not long after their mar? riage, becoming drunk and abusing hei while they were on their honeymoon in Washington. She frequently for? gave him, she says, on his promise to cease drinking, which he failed to do On various occasions, she declares, he pointed a revolver at her, twisted hei nose until her face wnB lacerated, and drove hor from her home to those of her parents or friends. Once, she says, when she and her husband were dining with friends at Pelham Heath Inn, he drove off and left her with their guests. While they were debating what to do, and after tho other man in the party had paid the dinner check, she assorts, her hus? band returned? stalked into the dining .room, grasped her by the back of the neck, bent hei- arms behind her back and dragged her out to his car. On the way home, she saya, he twisted her nose again. Arriving at their apart? ment, she says in her complaint, her husband left her and was not seen at home again until 4 o'clock the morn? ing following. Traitel has entered a general denial of nil his wife's charges, and has no? tified her lawyer, H. Randolph Guggen? heimer, that he will oppose her motion for alimony. Egyptian Cotton Cargoes To Net U. S. a Profit Will Be Small Until Business Is Obtained for Vessels on Outward Trips From Th? Tribune's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.~-Movement of Egyptian cotton in Emergency Fleet Corporation vessels will net the gov? ernment a small profit, according to estimates made to-day by officials of the traffic division of the corporation. There will be no great profit in the tariff until cargoes on the outward trips are obtained by American bottoms, officals of the fleet said to-day, but on the movement of cotton on the west? ward trip it is expected that a Bmall margin will result, as the vessels in the trade would have to come Back in ballast if the cotton cargoes were not available. No definite Information is available here as to the rate at which the cot? ton will be carried by American vessels, although it is known that the tariff will not be less than that charged by the British operators. Having been allotted 60 per cent'of the cotton ton? nage out of the port of Alexandria, the Fleet Corporation is satisfied that no effort will be made by competing car? riers to wage a rate war. It is the plan of the allocation division of the Fleet Corporation to put as many ships in the Egyptian cot? ton trade as the traffic demands, and instructions have boen issued to the corporation's representatives in Alex? andria and London to call on Washing? ton for as many vessels as are required to meet the demand. your Thanksgiving offerings inclmide the Bonldtag Campaign of the New York Knights .

S. Pair Hope to Obtain Data on Inspection Tour to Clinch Bargain on Terms Submitted to Government DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 23 (By The Associated Press).?Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison, during their forth? coming inspection tour of the Muscle Shoals, Ala., praiect, hope to obtain data to convince tho United States government that Mr. Ford's offer for the nitrote and waterpower project is liberal, it was announced at Mr. Ford's offices at Dearborn to-day to The Associated Press. The information followed word from Washington that tho government would ask Mr. Ford to make certain modifi? cations in his proposals, believed to involve an increase in thff umount of money he was willing to allot for completing the dams at Muscle Shoals. Mr. Edison will come to Detroit early next week, it was announced, and soon afterward ho and Mr. Ford will go to i Alabama for their inspection, accom? panied by engineers and other exports 1 on the Ford Motor Company staff. An effort will be made to prove conclu? sively that the government figures are too nigh, if .was stated. Mr. Ford is known to believe that Muscle Shoals may bo made to pro? duce one million horsepower. Under the Ford plan, this power could be made to produce steady employment, directly and indirectly, for 1,000,000 men. Ha expects to convert it into one of the greatest enterprises in the United States within tho next six or seven years. "iMr. Ford realizes the opportunities are nlmost limitless," a high official of tho Ford organization snid. "The nitrato plant would be used for the making of fertiliser. This, however, would be only a part of the entire pro? gram." It was said Mr. Ford had not decided a* I? the other articles that miiht V. manufactured.
