NEW YORK, Mar. 4.-Jusuce uavo. gan of the supreme court approved the certificate Of incorporation of the American Legion, now being organ ized as the first line reserve for in stant call in case of war. The pur- poses of the Legion are set forth in seven articles which state that it Is being formed "to organize American citizens who are not in the military or naval service Of the United States or any of the several states. uho are specifically qualified to serve the United States in the event of war"
 Justice Gavegan first declined 70 sign the certificate because he was not satisfied as to the particular ob- iect for which the Incorporation was asked. Subsequently, he received a call from the promoters and after a conference acted favorably on the ap- plication.
 There are to be five directors and the five ncorporators to serve as such until the newly incorporated body meets The mcorporators are Alexander White. Brooklyn: Julian Davies. Jr, Babylon, N. r.; Theo. dore Roosevelt. Jr. Arthur Hoffman. Ormonde Power, New York City. The hearquarters are here
