18 MAKE REPORT TO THEIR POSTS J Sweeney and Milnor Submit Results of Legion Convention Patrick J. Sweeney anil Mark T. Milner, Harrisburg delegates from the Sixth Draft District of Pennsyl vania to tlio National convention of the American .Legion held In Min neapolis last week, have submitted their teport to their posts. No. 279 and No. 27, respectively. Among the questions taken up at the convention was eligibility to the legion; war workers cunnot become mebbers except in the women's auxil iary of the American Legion, to be I'omposed of mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of members or of men who died In service. The organization of the posts shall date front January 1, 1920. as that is to be the beginning of the fiscal year. Dues are to be fixed by local posts, and are to include, one dollar for National headquarters at Indian apolis, and 50 cents to State head quarters at Philadelphia. The mili tary police adopted by the conven tion includes universal military training, disapproval of a large standing army, opposition to compul sory military service in time of peace, and encouragement of mili tary training iu high schools and col- , leges. The convention went on record as opposed to all forms of memorials save those thut could be put to some practical and beneficial use by all the citizens of the community. Regarding the bonus, the follow ing resolutions were passed; "Resolved, that while the Ameri can Legion was uot founded for the purpose of promoting legislation in its selfish interest, it recognizes that our Government owes an obligation to all service men and women to le lievo the financial disadvantages in cident to their military service, an obligation second only to that c!" caring lor the disabled and for the w■ lows and orphans of thosi who gave their l.ves, and one already aiknowlcdgctl by our Allies. But V the American Legion feels that It. j canot ask for legislation in its sel- | lish interests and leaves with con- j fidence to Congress the disposa) of i this obligation."

Armament Reduction Presents Big Problem, Jap Paper Declares Tokio, Nov. 19.—The Kokumia Shiinbun publishes an article point ing out the difficulties Involved on the reduction of naval armaments. It says that the fact that the final victory won by the Allies was due Inrgely to the great navul power of the British Empire will surely be n bar to the solution of the armament reduction problem to be dealt with by the League of Nations. Above ail, Japan being surounded by the sea, must depend upon commodities im ported from other countries. The Kokuinin adds that even if the present conditions of the navy he made the standard of the reduction of armament. Great Britain and America will not feel danger for their national defence. But Japan has not even a sufficiency for defence and cannot admit that the present conditions of the navy is the stand ard of armament. The Kokumin I also expressed the opinion that It would be unfair to make the length of coast line the standard of the re striction of armament.
