LEGION URGES U.S. T0 HEP

Complete Disarmament of Axis Powers Advocated

By Convention.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20 (U. P) “<The American Legion urged the United States today to participate with other nations in an international force to preserve peace. Legionnaires at their 26th annual convention adopted a report of t* foreign relations committee propos-

peace and demanding that Germany and Japan be forced to surrender unconditionally and disarm completely. 4 The report, which amplified the stand taken by the legion at its Omaha convention a year ago, said it would be impossible for the United States or any other nation to maintain peace by its own ef-

War Lesson Advocated

The committee urged that “no sympathy be wasted on the German people”

“Germany and Japan must be occupied and policed and taught the folly of war,” the report said. “The cost of maintaining the peace, thusly, would be insignificant compared to the cost of war.” At the closing session of the convention, Secretary of Navy James

Field dispatches said two flying bombs crashed into American positions along the Meuse river, exploding with terrific force but apparently causing few casualties among the well-dispersed troops. Nazi Attacks Costly Hitler's generalship already was in evidence all along the blazing battlefront from northern Holland to the edge of the Saar valley. j Front dispatches said crack German troops and panzer units were being hurled into reckless counter-attacks that slowed the allied advance in some sectors at a frightful cost in Nazi lives. oe Te ells a SC © In others, they resulted only in a slaughter of Germans without stemming the Berlin-bound allies. : First official word of the fuchrer’'s new role, similar that which he assumed with disastrous results on the Russian front, came from Field Marshal Sir Bernard L.

They set out to obtain firearms, » # - “WE ATTACKED the first Ger-
