For the folks at home there was a long anxious wait and then finally word came back that these boys of theirs hud arrived snfely Somewhere In France." This year they'll be going over on palatial steamers like the Leviathan, the Republic and the President Harding, and Instead of the folks back home waiting anxiously for word from them, some of these folks will accompany them on this gala trip.

And when they get to Paris how different It will be from 1917 also I Then It waa a matte- - of only a few hours leave and even those hours were spent under the watchful eyes of the M. P.'s This year they are going back with the knowledge of seven days of glorious freedom In the French capltul, of living at some of the best hotels at moderate prices. Amerlcnn Legion officers In charge of the arrangements for the convention have engaged five classes of hotels, and will give the boys a week In Paris at prices ranging from $10 to $49 for room only, for the seven days. As for the matter of M. P.'s, there wont be any. No passports will be required for members of the Legion attending the convention, and they will enjoy complete freedom. Identification certificates have been accepted by all Europecu countries, Instead of passports, thus avoiding lsns or charges of any kind. Since such certificates are heretofore unknown to the Purls police, the boys will have only to flourish them to get past any French authorities. Although the Legion authorities will appoint special units In each group to assist the French police force In handling the crowds, Legion ofllclals are counting upon the d fuct that at least of the 30,000 delegates who are going will be the wives or other female relatives of the men.
