Dead and Will No t Be Until
Justice is Done—Federal Re
habilitation Work Criticized.
—Thousands Attending.
(By Associated Press)
New Orleans, La., Oct. 16.—The

erican Legion met here in a large
converted warehouse on the Missis

thousand Conner fighting men pres
ent and more pouring in the city
regular and special trains, steamers,
airplanes and autos. * The opening
session was featured by reports
the national commander and adjutant
covering their activities during the
last year.
Distinguished soldiers of sevei
tions, hearing visible evidence of
sacriflcbs they made in behalf of
their countries, were on the platform
as the Legion's guests. They
delegates to the convention of the In
terallied Veteran’s Federation,
have been in session here for the
last two days, which tonight is ache
doled to conclude its deliberation:
with an open session for the purpose
of forwarding world peace.
Declaration that the Legion regard
ed the interests of disabled service

were the outstanding points In the ad
dress of Hanford MacNider, National
Commander, delivered at the opening
session.

Is right," MacNider continued. “Right
always prevails In America. Great
and well financed attacks by the in-
teresta we cannot help but feel arc
horrid and rash, and have given us a
little setback. However, no one
group can stand in the way of ful
fillment of this just obligation.”

the government's record of perform
ance was termed a “series of tragic
mistakes, delays. postponements,
alibis and politics,” was replied to
vigorously by Colonel Forbes, direc
tor of the United States’ Veteran's
Bureau.
General Forbes declared that the
Veteran's Bureau could not be crtlciz-
ed for any mistakes made under the
Langley act, as it had nothing to do
with, the selection of sites or deter
mine what sort of hospitals should be
erected.
