For two years a France conven
tion committee, of which llowmnli
Klder Is national chalrmun, has
been working on plans for the
movement of tho peace-time army.
Travelers will go. on chartered
ships from Montreal, New York,
Boston, Hampton ltoads, Charles
ton, New Orleans und Galveston.
Landings will be muilo. at three
French ports Havre, Cherbourg,
and Roulngne and . one llelglun
port Antwerp. '
Upon arriving in debarkation
ports, the army of legionnaires
will board special trains, number
ing -more thun half u. hundred, to
speed on to Paris.
Forh anil I'crslilne
In the reviewing stand on pa

nand Foch, General John J.
Pershing, General Gouraud, mili
tary governor of Paris; Howard P.
Kuvnge. national commander of the-j
legion and commander-in-chief of
the "Second A. K. F.," and many
other notoworthies.
The Trocadero, In which the
convention sessions of tho legion
uro to be held, was built In 1X78
by tho French government unit is
used us u place for all sons of ex
hibitions. The Pnlals d'Orsay, one of Pnris'
best hotels, has been obtuincd us
tho -convention headquarters for
the '''40 and 8." Tho Continental

trnvolors In Uiifopo, will turn over
Its b.illroum for convention ses
sions dt tho American Legion Aux
iliary. General headquarters of the
legion will bo at the Hotel Crlllon.
Holds Cut Hauw
Twenty-five thousand Paris hotel
rooms Itavo been contracted for.
Most of tho rooms obtained uro in
the smaller hotels of tho city.
Hates for leglonnlres for the
week Of tho convention runge from
J10 to H0 per person. These
prices are about half what similar
accommodations in hotels in tho
United States would cost.
Ninety per cent of tho legion
naires who already have made res
ervations for tho France trip have
made arrangements to niuko battle
field arid ccnletery tours.
The tours have been divided
Into five districts, comprising 20
separate Itineraries. All trips can
be mudo from Paris in a day. They
will be made both by train und au
tomobile and will cost from JO to
16.G0.
Half Fare on Ilallroads
Through urrangoments made
with foreign governments, the
American Legion will save itH Ku
ropcun going members something
llko 15.000,000. The steamship
companies have given extremely
low figures for truns-Atlantic travel
to the veterans.
Kallrouds of the United States
are offering half-faro lutes to the
cx-soldlcrs. Railroads of France
und other continental countries are
cutting their fares in half, while the
railroads In tho llrltlsh kingdom
have reduced prices one-fourth.
All Uuropcan governments, with
tho exception of Kusslu. will make
no passport visa charge. All le
gionnaires aro required to do Is
purchase an Identification certifi
cate for $1. This entitles them to
enter tho continent without paying
tho ordinary passport visa charge,
which, In somo countries, runs as
high us J 10.
Tho landing charge of 3. made
at French ports, also has been
eliminated through the efforts of
the Franco convention committee
of tho . legion. Congress recently
passed n bill exempting leglon
nulrcs from the regular 0 steam
ship ticket -tax.
It is estimated that a man from
the mlddlo west can muke tho trip
to Franco and buck to his home
city for approximately $300, al
lowing 142.60 for incidentals. This
figure ulso includes the cost of n
trip to the huttlcficids und an
American military cemetery. It will
take about four weeks to make the
trip to France and return. Em
ployers throughout the country arc
promising veterans long leaves of
ubsence. ,
The; Sleam-lilp Italcs
Kates for the round trip offered
by the steamship cominlcs. range
from J14S.0O. to. ( J70 on most of
the vessels. ' Of course, higher
classes of passage may be obtained.
However, the ordinary accommoda
tions permit veterans freedom of
the ship. -
The food will be of the best.
Staterooms will be far different
from the bunks of war days.

Cover slips over top fits tight won't fall off
Exactness attention to the little things has
been the reason for the success and popularity
of Hills Bros. Coffee.
This policy of carefulness led Hills Bros, to
discover and develop Controlled Roasting, the
patented process which roasts only a few pounds
of coffee at a time, instead of in bulk. As a
result, Hills Bros. Coffee sets an unapproachable
standard in aroma, flavor and richness.
And now, a little thing but a betterment'
Hills Bros, have improved the can in which the
coffee you love to drink is vacuum packed. At
first glance, there doesn't seem to be any change.
The all-important words "Hills Bros. Coffee"
arc there also the Arab, the famous trade-mark.
But when you open the can, you'll appreciate the
difference. The key turns easier and keeps on the
track. The cover slips over the top. No sharp
edges to cut the fingers. Best of all, the cover
fits tightly won't fall off.
Now the new improved
cover it off. The top cdffe
of the can are rolled
smooth no harp edges
to cut fingers
Here the cover is hat if on
