PEOPLE PATRIOTS -- NOT PACIFISTS Work on the Fldae peace program, as the sold'ers call to a peace of Intelligent patriotism In opposition to the steadily encroaching tide of Russian Internationalism, was the chief business to come before the Fidac congress at Rome, Italy, from September 10 to 13, according to an announcement by Brig. Gen. Leigh Robinson Cignilliat, chairman of the American Legion delegation to the congress. Ninety per cent of the people are both patriots and peace proponents, but not pacifists, declared General GigniUiat in a statement outlining the work of the congress. They will be behind a peace program of patriotism, international friendship and ation. American Legion delegates to the congress were: William B. Follett, Winter Bark. Fla.. Joseph H.

The family had gone away for The summer, and Buttons and the butler were out for an airing. Buttons was a sleek, fat pug, with a know ing eye and oily manner. They called him Buttons because the harness he wore about his forequarters was studded with shining ornaments. As the two strolled proudly through the Beacon street mall fate favored Buttons and the butler. There was a cat on the common a pet cat without an escort. This cat belonged to one of the wealthy families 'who at tiie tail end of winter board up their city residences and go to the country to spend the summer And save their taxes. The owners of tills particular cat had speeded missionaries to the four corners of the globe to evangelize the heathen, but their pet puss they had turned into the streets. Tiie instant Buttons spied her he gave chase and drove her for refuge Into a small tree. Then he stood below and barked furiously, until the sympathizing butler shook the tree and gave him another chance. This time the cat barely succeeded in reaching a low perch on the iron fence, from which with terrified gaze she watched her tormentor. Why do you torture that cat? angrily asked a quiet gentleman who sat on one of the shady benches holdlittle girl on his ing a yellow-haireknee. "Oh, me and Buttons is having a little fun, answered the butler. "Buttons is death on cats." The quiet man said nothing, but got up, helped the frightened cat to escape to a safe hiding place, and then resumed ills seat. . That night puss went to bed without a supper, while her owner presided at the one hundred and eleventh seaside anniversary of the Society for tiie Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and punctuated the courses of a fish dinner with rare vintages of port. The next evening the same heat hung heavily over the Beacon street mail and Buttons and the butler were again taking an airing and looking for fun. As Buttons neared the scene of his former encounter he pricked up his ears and sniffed the air for a scent of game. Presently his anxious eye was attracted by something his pug nose had failed to detect On a bench near by sat the quiet gentleman whose ae- quaintance Buttons and the butler had made on the previous evening. The same yellow-hairelittle girl was seated. nea7 him, intently watching the rings of cigar smoke he puffed high lino tiie evening air. Between the twq a huge, inflated paper bag was surging to and fro. It was this paper bag that hud caught the eye of Buttons. It Interested him. Drawing himself all up in a heap, he proceeded with cautious, measured step to Justify his curiosity. As he slowly approached the curious object, his low, fretful growls seemed to rouse it to renewed gymnastics. This frightened Buttons and caused him to turn tall and flee. His curiosity had, however, got the better of him, and, returning to what he deemed a safe distance, he began barking furoiusly. Cat, Buttons, wheres the cat? came from the butler, who was leisurely bringing up in the rear, unconscious of Buttons find. With renewed courage the pug rushed toward the paper hag. He had almost reached it when the quiet gentleman gave the bag an opening twist, and, as a furry head with a pair of fiery eyes shot out, he exclaimed: Hi, hi, Kootchie! The earnestness with which Kootchie hi, hied became instantly apparent by the piteous bowls that rose from out of the murderous clawing, snarling mass of flying fur and silver ornaments. And the speed with which Burtons companion hastened to tiie rescue proved that even a Boston butler can get a move on. Before he could interfere, however, the quiet gentleman took a hand in the game. Stand back, lie demanded, in tones that showed he would brook no interference. "Buttons is death on cats. Kootchie is death on pugs. You like fun. I like fair play. In less than twenty seconds a crowd of loungers, newsboys, nurse girls and pedestrians hurried to the scene. In tiie confusion somebody thoughtfully told a policeman to ring for the hurry-uBut before it arwagon. rived the butler was permitted to carry home in his arms what there was left of Buttons.

Outstanding activities of Fidac In 1025 were: Representation at the Geneva arms conference, closer witli the League of Nations, establishment of a bulletin broadcasting the views and purposes of Fidac, work towards the creation of the womens auxiliary and efforts to ascertain public opinion in allied and former enemy countries, particularly in Germany following the election of Marshal von Ilindenburg as President of tiie republic.

Chard, by requesting a $50 cash settlement of ids government endowment policy when he was discharged from the army in May, 1921, almost lost his beneficiaries $1,000, the full face value of the policy, following his death soon after his discharge. It was only through the tardiness of the Veterans' bureau in mailing the $.10 cash settlement check that ids beneficiaries were able to collect tiie full face value of the policy. Chard died on June 27, 1921. Tiie check for a cash settlement was not mailed until July 13, 16 days later. Comptroller-Genera- l McCarl recently ruled that the government must pay the full face value of the policy of 51,000 due only to the delay in mailing. 20-ye- Coi.
