©The Anton LEGION (Copy for Thia Department Supplied by the American Legion Newa Service.) ONE OF LEGION'S FOUNDERS Col. Milton Foreman's Connection Dates Back to the Original Paris Caucus. Col Milton J. Foreman, national executive committeeman of the Illinois department of the American Legion, is u Chi.irfffiSmyihriu ''ago I’iwyer, who for many years Ims been active -ffy in public and 11141- ‘ -V Itury affairs. His connection with ■■ k the Legion dates back to Hie origtqXjk y inal Paris caucus /if*' lit Which time the of f " r,llln u 11 SawwßWE Legion was con- . cel veil. At that meeting he was named chairman of the temporary executive committee. Returning to the United States, he was elected commander of the Illinois department. In 11 months the membership in Illinois Increased from 19,000 to more than 65,000, and the number of-posts from 220 to 682. While serving with the First Illinois cavalry, in 1894, Mr. Foreman acquired an active interest, in military affairs. He served with that organization during the Spanish-American war and rose to the rank of captain. After the war Mr. Foreman began the practice of law in Chicago, and became major in the First cavalry. In 1914 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and two years later commissioned colonel of the regiment. He was in command of that organization during the border troubles. With the outbreak of the World war, Colonel Foreman requested the transfer of his regiment to field artillery, which was effected in June, 1917. Colonel Foreman took the regiment to France in 1917 and commanded it throughout the war. He received three citations for gallantry and was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for achievements in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives. While not in the military service, Mr. Foreman practiced law in Chicago and took an active interest in public affairs throughout the state. In 1899 he was elected to the Chicago city council and served six consecutive terms. He was chairman of the Chicago charter convention whose work lias become a model for planners of new city charters.

However, he would permit representatives from the other side of the Rockies to ride the cushions across to this side. Legion posts along the way would feed and shelter the hikers. “I’ll lend the way, and outwalk anyone, in the Legion,” the Kansas pedestrian declares. C. O. D. An old darky visited a dactor and received Instructions as to what he should do. Shaking his head, he was about to leave the office, when’ the doctor called out: “Hey, there, uncle, you forgot to pay me.” “Pay you fo’ what?" “For my advice." “Nossnh, boss, I’sc compluntated It from all angles and decided not to take it.”—American Legion Weekly.

This handsome and virile young actor, lately seen here as co star with Edith Roberts and Gladys Walton, has the role of a government aviator who finds himself alone on a deserted island with the woman who had jilted him. Not only is “The Torrent" on view at the Crystal theatre an engrossing story and the acting of Eva Novak and her company uniformly excellent but there are a number of thrilling scenes staged that compel admiration. One of these is where Miss Novak lowers herself from the deck in the yacht's tender and cuts herself adrift in the open sea. Both the direction and photography are commendable.
