TThese war veterans marched into Washington, exhibiting their deplorable condition hoping a tiresome and Inept congress would hear their appeal. Regardless of the technicalities of law and po lice regulations they should 'have received at the hands of the gov ernment a becoming sympathy and leadership. "That they did receive such sympathy and leadership from that able soldier, General Clif ford la to bis everlasting credit. "And when it came the time that he had to enforce the gov ernment's orders he went about his task manfully and unafraid. But in the midst of his own po lice operation he has his author ity struck from his hands by the appearance of sabers, gas bombs. fire brands, bayonets and - tanks An awesome spectacle this display of force commanded by the very head of the army himself.

Search Fruitless For Robins; Wife Fears Foul Play CHICAGO, Sept, 12 (AP) Detectives and federal agents to day continued without result their search for the misting Col onel Raymond Robins, prohibition and peace advocate.

Legion Auxiliary Praised PORTLAND, Ore, Sept, 12 (AP) Faced with the most dif ficult year la its history, forced to fight to maintain every point of Its program, the American Le gion auxiliary responded ably at every tarn and wound p the year in a stronger position than ever.
