To Everr Member of THE AMERICAN LEGION

Th Lflon' fight to gain tha pas.HAgft cf Its national legislative program has reached a point where the National Legislative Committee call for tho assistance of all pott. Such support. It is expected, will assure the accomplishment of thft Ivffion'w obj.Ktlves at thil eslon Of CongTf. It ll Imperative that every post remind iu ßtnators and its COnffrepsrrun that th eyes of the Legion are upon them. Especially la thli trud of tha Adjusted OompensAtlon Bill. In all of tt Guus where the (juration of compenwvtlon has come to a, vote tht people have overwhelmingly endorsed it. It t a measure of admitted Justice. But powerful influences are opposing It and the Ljrlon'a voles muet be heard in lta Dthalf. PRO AND CON IMltorLal comment for ;..ul Against tho Amorican Legion. Desire of the American Legion that the slacker Bergdoll be brought back from Germany will be supported by a very great part of the American people. There may be some incurable pro-Germans left In thid country who will pity this notorious character or who may think that nothing should be done with such canes now that the war la over, but I uio soiaiers wno served and the country at large, which was stum; by the insults of thi rank pro-Ger man, will welcome his return to thia country. Mahanoy (Pa.) Record. The American Legion, tho active agent and spokesman for all ex-service men, ha a mission very real and of an Importance that will Increase with the years. The Supreme tak of their (the veterans') organization is to keep holy and unpolluted, not only the memories of their service, but the clear, discerning knowledge of why they served. If they do this, the effectiveness of their patriotism may be depended upon in civil and political life when other emergencies are to bo met. Tampa (Fla.) Dally Times. American Legion men represent the highest type of loyal American citlr?nh!p and the country la to be congratulated that a greAt organization like tha of he Legion has been creased. The Legion halls are public schools of patriotism and there will solemn fnse of reverence and obligation. My One aspiration is to bear those f ovpönalMlltles as he would have borne them for the plory of our country. And In that I know I have your support and guidance. I know it because, clearer than anything else, our recent trial ha reveaK! to me the lesion' great source of strength. It Is In the fact that you have fhown that you are going to live the ?pirit of the mandate of your constitution; you have accepted ss nn "individual obligation" your responsibilities to ' community, state and nation." nnd to the American Legion. It 1- that feeling of personal obligation which will make each of 113 able to carry on. In tho lesion, individuals are only the Instruments of our cause. Men die, but the causae H Immortal. It carries on. john a. KMnrtY.

be many of these schools. In this connection it might be suggested that the general citizenship of the country should bear In mind the obligation res'.ing upon the country to be as tru to the Legion as the Legionnaires are to the country E3 Moines (la.) Capital. The American Legion at one time in its early existence threatened to go to pieces on the rock Of politics and other matters which did not directly concern tho organization, but as the days roll by, the Legion Is becoming a wieldy body, and Us various branches are being organized until it is now a workable organization, -with great potential power. Just as long a the Legion keeps itself free from any entangling alliances, it will continue to grow in power and influence for good. Durham (X. C.) Herald. We're a pretty miserable mess of a people if we don't do every last possible thing ve can for our wounded soldiers. To sit back and say, "Let the government do it; we'll stand the taxes," is cold-blooded to the verge of brutality. It means that the whole job will be turned over to a Utile group of .bureaucrats who revel In red tape and circumlocution. You may be able to thank God for the American Legion and what It has already dono in the matter, but that doesn't excuse any one of us for Indifference and nonchalance. Any man who enrolled and fought In Pershing's legions will be a hero as lonjr an he live. The Ladles' Home Journal. Official Washington's policy has resulted in a situation in which only 6000 of the nation's 25,000 patients are being given the kind of care they merit fo amply. These arc the figures of The American Legion, whose Investigators report that of the grand total 9000 men occupy contract or non-povernment beds, and 10.000 more have only unsatisfactory accommodations. Charity may begin at home, but in this case it does not even becin. Tho most effective cheering that the people at large cm do at this time is to make the national voice so thunderously heard at Yaehlngton that there can be no shadow of mistake as to our intent in the prompt and effective medical and surgic.il treatment of our war afflicted. The Saturday Evening Post. There is a wide divergence be tween what the Lesion says and what it doe.-, in its public statements, in its bulletins from National Headquarters, the Legion seems sound on Americanization, though it is very vasrue. On the other hand, and in spite of fhi. the forelern born

groups havo no confidence whatever in the Legion and are more than likely to regard any Americanization issuing from this source with a deep and cordial suspicion. It is difficult to mob Kreisler's concerts, break up meetings being held by Poles and Lithuanians, refuse Louis Post permission to speak, threaten German societies with rifles when they try to hold a tag day for starving women and children, and endorse a plan by which Legion members are to be mobilized for active duty during times of strikes by "radicals," and still have It believed that you are doing unprejudiced Americanization work. The faults appear to be chietly with individual posts, but unless national headquarters take-s public and stringent action against such posts tho Legin must expect to be misunderstood. Certainly the foreign born have no doubts in the matter. To the mass of them tho Legion is, rightly or wrongly, anathema. There is nothing to be hoped for here. Edward Hale Bierstadt in The New Republic.

Asks the Weekly: "Are you going to be a burst of a dud in the Independence Membership drive?" Col. Fitzhugh Lee was in town last week, Ui the interests of tho citizen's camp for military training. Legionnaires are urged If out of work but Capable Of doing some to take advantage of this course. It Is the short cut to a commi.slon or a boost, but flrst of all, a fine opportunity to get fit again and to get the question mark out of your spine. Send the kid brother. Help boost this thing. They tell this one at Atlanta, Ga.: On he day after the armistice that ended the not-so-late war a South ern mountaineer, driving down from tho hills on one of his rare visits to town encountered a whiskered squirrel hunter. "What wa that thar racket down to the Forks last night, stranger?" he Inquired. "Red lights and fireworks and s-cchlike. Sounded like It mought be some sort of a celebration." "It shore was," said the other. "Didn't ye hear? The war's over." "It is? Say, did we did we win?" Wo shore did." "Hooray!" shouted the mountaineer. "It took a leetls more time than I expected but I never had a doubt for one durn minute but what we'd finally lick them damyanks." Think it over seriously, is "Hello AL" to be tho oihclai greeting? In diana's starting this, and Indiana wants to be right before it goes to the national convention. Col. Healey of Frankfort, and formerly c. o. of the. First Indiana, was a live worker at Culver. We asked him if he knew Col. Healey and he said he did, did we. We did but we didn't, the reason being that Col. Healey today looks about as young as Col. Healey's son looked when he mustered in here. We are instructed to await the birth of a big idea fostered and fathered by Floyd Jellison. Floyd's interests this summer aro necessarily split three ways, but tho Legion gets its share. ' Henry Harper is shacking it at Diamond lake". Cholly: "Oh yaws. In the Ahmy hospital I had a twained nurse." Algy: "Dearie me, Cholly. you're so lucky. Poor Percy told me he had one of the wild ones who dwove him positively fwantic." Prell: "Talk about trouble with the mails! When I was overseas there were three letters that followed me all over the country." She: "What wero the letters?" Prell: "S. O. L." Axel, a Swede in an outfit at Ft. Jay, woke up one morning with a desire to loaf. He got put on clek call, thinking it was worth tryir.g anyway. At the dispensary tho doc looked him over, felt his pulse and took his temperature. Then he said: "I can't find anything wrong with you." No answer. "See here, what's wrong with you anyway?" "Doc," replied Axel. "That bane your job." The Veteran. (July 4. 1021.) Oh. wife, where lies my good O. D. That I wore In my prlmo?
