Another american Legion"

n MONG the various ingenious means of

which the so-called American Legion is-oT
was--a shining illustration. there is a plan
tc create some sort of reserve force from
among tho members of the several fraternal
orders. While il probably has less OBJ
jectionable origin than the American Legion
the plan is subject To many of the same
criticisms.
This fraterna order device was contem-
plated in measure introduced in Congress
~ the last session by Congressman NORM of
PENNSYLVANIA. III brief, it provides that in
any city or town where 800 members of fra
ternal organizations volunteer for defensive
military service. the government shall assign
all army officer TO drill them.
II this plan should he approved and meet
with any success that success would be at
the expense of the National Guard OF the
States. The National Guard is the organiZa-
ton entitled 10 the countrys assistance in
