The Personnel of the
American Legion

THERE are some men in the American
Legion, like Black, who wentfor the fun.
There are some who went because they
owed money, or had run afoul of the law,
or preferred death in Flanders to living
at home with their wives There is pro-
portion of such in every volunteer army;
but the proportion in the American Legion
is small.
Knights errant, they are. Clean and
fine and red-blooded, endowed with most
of the virtues of strong men except the
good virtue of patience Of patience they
have none. Twelve hundred of them
were supposed to embark in the first bat
talon. When their colonel reached the
dock with his men, he counted them and
found eighteen hundred. Six hundred of
the second battalion had slipped on the
train and slowed themselves away

men,, he wired to the colonel of the

Jump into your throat, without having a
bit of a film across your eyes.
Not all of them, to be sure, have gone
to Canada with the same motive as Pri-
vate Alfred Jenkins. There is, for in
stance, the type of chap who is repre-
sented by Black, an officer with long
service record. Black is newspaper

there is the native land of Black There
is his home, sweet home.
He was down in Venezuela in the time
of Castro, and for mixing up with the rev.
olutionists in some unfortunate fashion
he was sentenced to be shot. Castro had
morbid fondness for executions: he used
always to be on hand. They couldn't take
place too early in the morning for him.
So at sunrise, when Black was to disap-
pear, Castro walked on to the scene.
"Just a moment, said Black to his
guard. "Give me moment or two
to interview President Castro. I've
been following him, trying to get an inter-
view for months"

care enough for liberty--even another

pleasing proof to us that courage and
strength and red blood have not departed
from us, that we are still worthy of the
heritage of our sres. We may not alto
gether agree with their Judgment: we may
not all see the war through their eyes.
But we can't help being proud of them
nevertheless. They remind us, somehow,
of the sort of thing we read about in our
school histories. They bring the flavor
and fragrance of the Minute Men into our
too commonplace modern life.
God bless them and keep them and

fad. Its story may be true, or it may be
false, as 81 many other horrible stories of
this war WILL doubtless prove to be later.
But, true Sr false, it needs not to be
written in dispatches; for it is written
on the heart of every member of the
Canadian contingents and the American
Legion. And the Germans who have had
to face Canadians and Americans in the
trenches since that day, if they know the
story of Crucifixion Wood must many
times have cursed the day when the
Canadians retook it and found its dread

we have given the body of the act is
the correct one naturally and inevita-
bly, arising out of the true interpreta-
ton used to express legislative pur-
pose."
The opinion in the Mountain City

the locker club law decision. This
opinion held that all bona fide social

into rather extensively by the court,

LOCKER LAW
HELD INVALID
TENNESSEE SUPREME COURTDE-
CLARES STATUTE INVALID
Was One of the Prohibition Enact
ments of the 1915 Session of the
General Assembly of the State
of Tennessee.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 2S-The
state supreme court today held to be
unconstitutional the socalled Cocker
law" which prohibits the maintenance
Of lockers for bars or buffets in clubs
in Tennessee.
In concluding its opinion, the court
held "the act under which the two in
dictments were framed having been
found unconstitutional and void on the
grounds stated, it necessarily results
that the judgment of the trial court in
quashing these indictments must be
affirmed"
The indictments referred to were
those against the Mountain City Club
in Chattanooga and the Elks Club in
Knoxville.
