AMERICAN LEGION NOTE.

Rockville, Ind., April I.—The proposed state war memorial is of sufficient importance to warrant the Governor in calling a special session of the Legislature at once, according to State Senator George L. Laney, who today sent a letter to American Legion officials in Indianapolis expressing his views. “I wish to assure you of my hearty co-operation in any laudable measure which has for its purpose the assisting of the boys who so grandly and nobly did what was imposed on them,’’ his letter says. “I am of‘the opinion that if there were no other reasons that the governor should call a special session of the Legislature to take action with reference to this matter.” “I assure you that in the event the governor should call such a session, I will heartily support any measure which will tend to confer on the Legion the rights to which it is entitled.”
