PURPOSES OF LEGION TOLD TO KIWANIANS; PATRIOTISM URGED "" l That the American Legion Is an organization,' essential in the life of American citizens, and that It stands , for patriotism toward American ideals and for the furtherance of mankind, was emphasized by Oswald Ryan, city attorney of Anderson, and Indiana . Commissioner fnr the trtiorlxin T " ll J & .1, ( 1 U . Klon. beforn iha ITIvonli .Ink T,io,4nr ar. Ryan is also a charter member of -me tviwanis club at Anderson. Mr. Ryan said that- many of the I members Of the. Klwanla lnh mav or. " 7 away some of the ldeas of hsU - American Legion is trying to do for -the country, but that if everybody only knew of the purposes which the American Legion is organized for, they ..woudl never work against the organization. - . He said, " a great ruler of this counJtry, Abraham Lincoln, was shot down i in Ford's theatre by an assassin, who, if he had but looked into the face of the nation's great ruler, would never ,-vhave pulled the trigger which sent the unrighteous bullet into the man who , had done such great things. If the citizens knew of the things which the , American Legion Is attempting to do, ..they would never knife the organiza- . tion in the back, in its attempt toward , a patriotic end. We 6tand for loyalty to the common life of the country. Most Lawless Nation "The United States today i3 the . mo6t lawless nation in all the world. - Compare the crime records of the Unit,.ed states with that of other nations. .,You will find that 10 times more people are murdered annually in this ,. country than in any other nation of the world. Indianapolis had more peopie murdered in one year than they had over in London. There is no place on earth where human life is so cheap as in the United States. "A little less than 50 per cent of the murderers receive punishment fortheir acts, while fully 95 per cent of the violators of came laws repel -ment to the limit. It is safer tr mnr. Jder a human being than it is to kill a . ueer in uanaaa. Mr. Ryan pointed to the poor pa . tnotism displayed by a millionare . pacKer, curing the war time. He said . While America's best was over the water fighting to defend those on our own son, we had many who took advantage of the situation to enrich themselves during the pressing times. A rich packer had his millions, but when food was scarce, he stored it away, violating the cold storage act of the United States during the war. In this way he doubled his money. When he was brought to trial, all which he suffered was a small fine. This was the poorest fype of patriotism. But. what I want to get before you all is the fact that the American Legion stands primarily for patriotism. "I hope to live to see the day when every man in my country from rag picker to millionaire, is compelled to take off his hat to the American flae and American law," declared Mr. Ryan. "The criminal rich and the criminal poor have been able to snap their finsers in the face of American law and 'get away with it.' The result is that the United States todav is the most lawless of the civilized" nation-? cf the world." In referring to the opinion of manv about the purposes of the American Legion, Mr. Ryan stated, "It should not be necessary to pour out the American blood on a battle field to settle a dispute and the American Legion is not a military organization, as many think, and is not for the purpose of enrolling members so, that they may be called into another war. Not by any means. "We, the American Legion, stand for peace, but we offer no support or protection to the professional pacifist; class. This republic was born in bat ! tie and in battle it was preserved. Its fla? has never fallen and it is our purpose to keep it from falling. The obligation rests on all of us to in-1 fluence others to prevent any more ! world ; combats. H3d Noble Purpose i "Noble as were the purposes of the allies, there were no more noble pur-; poses than those which inspired our own people toward oarticirjatine in the war. France expected to get back her territory, the Alsace-Lorraine, when she stepped into the war, and England expected to retain her naval powers. But, America did not enter the war for any protection of foreign lands. She had no foreign posssssions, but she went into the World war for the upholding of an ideal and for this same ideal, the American people cast their resources of human life and industry into the big combat." Mr. Ryan indorsed the idea of planting tre--? along the National road in memory of those veterans who fell in the World war, who were from Wayne county. He said that he hoped that the trees would be planted thickest near Centerville, the birthplace of C":ver P. Morion, the man who did so much for the .state of Indiana. !n closing Mr. Ryan said, "It is our obligation to those who are under the crosses in France, to do the utmost honor to them. They went over the top and gave their 'last full measure of devotion.' I can speak this way to members of this club because I know that Kiwanis stands for principles of service to mankind." ANNOUNCE FREIGHT SERVICE BY TRUCK Twenty-four hour motor truck freight service has been established between Richmond and Indianapolis by the Sunbeam Freight line, says an announcement Tuesday. The offices of the company are located at 262 Ft. Wayne avenue. Freight will be received up until 6 o'clock in the evening for delivery in Indianapolis or intermediate points the next day.

The Russian representatives were rate, detached negotiations The French 'delegation has little raitn m the attempt to reopen the conference, insisting that M. Litvinoff's letter of yesterday contains nothing new Thev insist that his lnttar means that the Russians will not re - store confiscated property and will not talk compensation until they are sure how much money they are going to get from abroad. Accuse Russians Some delegates are openly acusing the Russians of seeking to sow discord among the non-Russians with the idea afterward of fishing to their own profit in the troubled waters thus created. The Russian delegates refused to attend today's meeting of the joint subcommission on private property.

U, S. RECEIVES DATA ON FRANCE'S ABILITY o TO PAY WAR DEBTS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July IS. The second step in the negotiations leading to the funding of the three and one half billion dollar war debt of France to the United States was to be taken today at a conference between treasury officials and Jean V. Parmentier, director of finance of the French treasury. M. Parmentier was to present statements on the financial condition of France with respect to the war debt to the United States covering the French budget, the volume of the country's exports and imports and foreign and general situations as agreed upon at a meeting last week between the French representative and Secretary Mellon, chairman of the debt funding commission. After the data has been studied by treasury experts, M. Parmentier is to meet with the full body of the debt commission to rlUmco h rt-

France towards payment of her warnine. oDiigations to this country as reflected in the information supplied as to her abilities and resources. The view has been expressed officially at the treasury that interest payments by France will be further deferred until such time as that nation can begin the regular liquidation of her debt under arrangements to be worked out by M. Parmentier and the debt commission. i Present Debts ' TKa . - .

"ic c'rui r irr.j inaeDieaness to tals $3,771,000,000, of principal and accrued - interest. From May, 1917, to September, 1920. the treasurv made cash advances to France under the Liberty loan acts aggregating $2,997,000,000, on which there have been re. payments of $64,000,000 of principal - and interest payments of $129.000.000", -i against which there is $430,000,000 of interest accrued and remaining unpaid. Evidences of these debts are In the form of demand notes which are to be funded into long-time obligations, which, under the act of congress creating the debt commission, must mature in not more than 25 years and must bear interest at not less than four and one-quarter per cent. In addition, the treasury holds obligations of France with fixed maturities and bearing interest at five per cent, received from the secretary of war on account of the sale of surplus supplies which, according to treasurv officials, may or may not be included in the funding schema, depending on the decision of M.
