Hooler Capltal to be Headquarters: ~ Indianapoiis, Ind., Feb. 23—Officials of practically all of the great patriotic and war organizations in the United States have their éyes on Indiana now because of the prominent part the state has taken by becoming the home of the American Legion. The fact that Governor .Goodrich, the members of the State Legislature, and the Officials of Marion County and Indianapolis have promised to co-operate to erect a State War Memorial to house the great organizations is evoking comment all over the country, according to Dr. T. Victor Keene, Indiana’s Representative on the National Exe~ cutive Committee of the American Lgion, who has just returned from a conference at Washington.

. Dr. Keene shows that the delay in moving the American Legion Weekly ‘to Indianapolis has been cccasioned by strenuous efforts to remove the National Headquarteds' from Indiana. He declares the hearty co-operation ot the State and County Officials in the memorial project has enabled the Legion Officials to ward off the threatened attack on Indiana. e t “The moving of National Headquarters of the Legion in Indiana is now practically accomplished.” said [Dr. Keene. “Theentire administrative

torce of the Legion is now here and ali of the general hadquarters work is being done in Indianapolis. : “The temoval of the journal to Indianapolis has been ordered, and its actual physical transfer will be accomplished in & very short time. The delay has been due to the fact that the journal is being re-organized as to its general policy and character. It is proposed to inake this journal a snappy ,entertaining sheet of interest to former service men, rather than }eodtinue it in its present form of the magazine type.
