CHICAGO MAYOR HEARS BRITISH ! *PLOr DETAILS Conspiracy Highly Organized for School Propaganda, Thompson Told. By United Pres* v CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—A highly organized plot to spread British propaganda through school history books was reported to Mayor William Hale Thompson today by former Congressman John J. Gorman whom tfie mayor assigned to investigate texts used in Chicago schools. Gorman, in a written report, mentioned the Rhodes Scholarship trustees, the English Speaking Union and the Carnegie Foundation as organizations engaged in promoting the propaganda. He urged that certain histories be removed from the schools and to only one text did he give complete approval. Report Is Published Publication of the report follows suspension of Superintendent of Schools William McAndrew for inThompson, in his “America First” campaign for offlc, promised to “fire” McAndrew and use of the alleged pro-British text books were his particular objection to the school head. In discussing the “propaganda plot.” Gorman said: # ' The recent sinister alterations in a score of American school histories by which our annals are preverted, our heroic fathers defended and their ideals and achievements grossly distorted to the children obviously could not have occurred) by mere coincidence. “There is in these histories a clearly defined motive, sometimes definitely stated, which reflects the fruition of the seeds planted by the Rhodes Scholarship, the Carnegie Foundation and the English Speaking Union.” Critical of Texts Most of the histories contain intentional distortion of facts in favor of Great Britain, according to Gorman. Others are effective in the same manner, through errors of omission. He approved only one current history, Fish’s “History of Atnerica,” which he considered “very good.” a Tie was particularly critical of David S. Muzzey’s text, which he said was “misnamed an American history.” Investigation of this book had been blocked by the English Speaking Union, of which Muzzey is a r/ember, he contended. McAkndrfw was instrumental in introducing the book in New York schools, where he was assistant superintendent there in charge of the text book department,, according to Mayor Thompson’s informant. ■Postpone School Board Meeting A scheduled meeting of the school board was postponed Tuesday night because of the absence from the city of four of the five commissioners. Ttie meeting will be held as soon as a quorum can be obtained.

Vanguard of Second A. E. F. in Paris; France Is Ready With Entertainment

Many Concessions to Make Trip Far Cheaper for Legionnaires. Du "SEA Service PARIS, Aug. 31.—The vanguard of the “Second A. E. F.” is descending on Paris once more. The 1927 convention of the American Legion is about to open in the capital of France, and some 30,000 ex-service men are on the way. The vast hall of the Palace Trocadero, where the sessions will be held, is decorated and refurnished; the Palais d’Orsay, where the famous “40 and 8” will convene, has been prepared for anything; the Hotel Continental is ready to resound to the tread of those feminine feet that will bear the lady members of the legion auxiliary about Paris. The legion hai fixed things so that individual members can make the trip much more cheaply than they could if they went as ordinary tourists. Many Concessions Given American, railways have granted half-fare privileges; European railroads have shaved prices sharply; steamship companies have reduced their rates also. Thirty thousand hotel rooms in Paris were contracted for by the legion long ago. These contracts were signed while the franc was low, and the big savings are the consequence. Motor transportation has been arranged for most of the battlefield tours, at a further saving. . Altogether, it is estimated that the legion members can make the

The bulk of them, however, will not arrive until the third week in September, when the liner, Leviathan, which carried so many thousands of soldiers during the war, and which has been designated flagship of this second hegira, docks with General Pershing, National Commander Howard Savage, many other distinguished guests and a whole host of ordinary ex-high privates. The meetings of the Legion in Paris will comprise only a part of the activities. Extensive tours to all battlefields where American troops' fought have been arranged, these tours having been divided into five districts —the first district including northern France and Belgium; the second, the Aisne-Marne region and Chateau Thierry; the third, Verdun and the Meuse-Argonne sector; the fourth, the St. Mihiel region; the fifth, the Champagne country east of Rheims. Side Tours Flannel In addition many Legionnaires are planning tours to othfer countries. Eighteen European nations have announced they will accept the legion identification certificates in lieu of passports. Four of the I welfare organizations that served the A. E.

Two Billion Dollars Will Be Spent on Education This Year. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—More than 27,000,000 boys and girls throughout the country are preparing for the opei>' cl another school year. A grand total of 29,000,000 will be in the opening day march for public elementary and high schools this fall, according to an estimate by the education bureau of the Interior Department today. Cost to Be High Os this number, 4,000,000 are high school students, the other 21,000,000 elementary students. The school .ranks will be further swelled by some 2,000,000 children in private elementary schools, and about 250,000 students in private high schools of all kinds, bringing the total above 27,000,000, according to the bureau’s estimate.

TWO MEMORY PATIENTS HELD , ATJIOSPITAL One Man Can’t Recall Name; Other Identified and Aid for Him Sought. • Two amnesia patients are at the city hospital today. The latest victim, taken up jfc” Policemen Banks and Miller In front of the home of J. S. Burris, 2415 Brookside Ave., where he was stopping passersby and asking them to tell him his name, was brought in Tuesday night. The other patient, who has been at the hospital since last Thursday,- * has been identified as William' Henry Compton of Owosso, N. Y. He has almost entirely recovered his memory. The newest patient appears to be about 25, is tall, weighs probably 158 pounds and has blue eyes and light hair. A contradictory fact about him Is that while his hands indicate he has done only the hardest kind of manual work, his vqcabularly is exceptional and gives evidence of an excellent education. Thinks He’s University Man He says he thinks he “went to a university and took an electrical engineering course, but I’m not sure.” The name “Washington” keeps coming to him, he says, and “1. think I worked there bossing men around some box cars, but that also might be a dream,” he told Dr. Oliver Fisher. Compton says he has been a newspaper man and has worked in different parts of the country. “My home is in Owosso,” he says, “but I remember I went to Flint, Mich., was disappointed in finding a job there and then went to South Bend in the same search.” „ Worried About Money He says that financial troubles and the fact that his wife recently had obtained a divorce from him had weighed heavily. "Things went black in that town,” he says, “and all that I can not now remember is how I got from there to Indianapolis.” A letter from his mother at Owosso to hospital officials verified all that Compton had told of himself and an effort is now being made by physicians, in conjunction with Miss Rachael Foppiano of the missing bureau of the police department, to obtain transportation for the man back to Owosso.
