Nervy 'Squarehead9 Writes Letter Seeding to Join American Legion
INDIANAPOLIS, March 16 Adjt. Lemuel Bolles and other officials at national headquarters of the American Legion Tuesday unanimously voted one Johannes Nedlich of Dresden, Germany, the distinction of the "neriest squarehead emerging from the world war". Nedlich. it appears, after more than two years' service in the German army, has suddenly become possessed of a passion to leave his fatherland, desert the army, come to America and join the American Legion. He blandly asks the legion to send him information regarding the organization and pay his transportation to a place designated for him to
report and join its ranks.

FRANCE ASKS $500,000 FOR WAR TIE-UP IN U. S. WASHINGTON. March 16 The Reruhlif of France filed 25 complaints Tnsfiay with the interstate commerce commission aerainst railroads serving Hi" port of New York, alleging unlawful chaiees for storage of war materia !e at New York harbor while traffic thre was congested during the war. Reparation amounting to $500,000 was asked.
A letter addressed to national head
quarters here arrived yesterday from Nedlich, making application for membership and giving a description of himself and his military service. He was apparently oblivious to the fact that the United States is still official
ly at war with Germany, it was saidj
and that American Legion membership is open only to those who served with honor against his country before the armistice was signed. Speculate on Motive Much speculation as to the motives of the German soldier in making application was aroused by the letter at headquarters. It was generally agreed that Nedlich's chief desire was to get to America, a desire that is said to be frequently expressed by young Germans in the territory occupied by American troops. The fact that Nedlich gave his height and age were thought to indicate that he considered the legion a part of the American army and that he perhaps thought it similar to the French foreign legion, a military service department. The letter of "the nerviest squarehead" was written in a neat German script, correct to the last detail in form, and was dated Feb. 20, 1921. from 35 Dorndluthstrasse, Dresden, Free State of Saxony. Nedlich's Letter Translated, it reads as follows: "The undersigned would like to be-
inches) tall, and have been in the
army for more than two years. Free transportation to the place of reporting is expected. "Respectfully, "JOHANNES NEDLICH." Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the legion, said that the application would be ignored, except for notif'cation of the Amaroc post No. 4 of the legion at Coblenz, Germany, of the desire expressed by Nedlich. The Am-
I aroc post is the only unit organized in J
