The American Legion.
More Than 400 Posts Now In
Existence.

LAIStVuN0s
In the appeal which Mr.. c. W. Wicker
sham, state chairman of the American
Legion, has issued to soldiers asking
them to join the organization. there rings
the spirit of splendid Americanism.
"The American LEGION" says Mr..
Wickersham. Islands for the constitn-
ton of the United States, the mainten-
ance of law and order. and 100 per
cent. Americanism. We are unalterably
opposed to any and all Bolsheviki, radi-
Gals. reds or any other pc rsons or groups
having as their objects the overthrow OF
government or of law and order in this
country"
The Legion, it will be remembered, is
the organization formed at St. Louis
some weeks ago following caucus in
Paris, to include all the veterans of the
great war. Its purpose is to perpetuate
in peace the principles for which its men,
bers fought on the battlefields of France.
From the outset the Legion has shown
that it possesses both the highest type
of patriotism and of good sense. At st.
Louis the caucus voted down overwhelm-
ingly proposal that veterans of war
should get six months special pay al
lowance on discharge from the army.
Recently it decided that its members
should he known by their civilian titles
and not by their military ones No bet
ter indication could be Forthcoming that
the American Legion does not exist to
foist miiitarism on a country that does
not want it.
The American Legion is a democratic
organize ton in every sense of the W ord.
There may have been castles in the army
necessary to discipline. But militarism
is foreign to American ideals and insti-
tutions, and it cannot permanently sur
vive. The Legion will help to bury it
and its false standards, and will strive
for permanent peace with honor. At
the same time its members will fight
Bolshevism, anarchy and other un-
American doctrines, and they will band
themselves together for mutual helpful
ness and comradeship, to recall and to
cherish the memories that have been
recorded in blood and sacrifice.
1t will take up the fight for social an d
political justice where the Confederate
veterans and the Grand Army of the
Republic leave off, and in the hands of
men who potentially laid their all on the
altar of their country the future of this
republi: may be presumed to be safe.

THE VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
BY GLADYS +. MATTHEWS
Church Hill School, Port Royal.

In the year of 1917 America en-
tered the great world war. To-day
the armies of Liberty stand en- the
continent of Europe, victorious; au-
tocracy is defeated The Army of
the United States, the mother OF de-
mocracy, stands victorious with
these armies of Liberty. They have
finished their task; they haze made
the world safe for democracy, they
have written victory for the armies
of Liberty. Now they beckon Their
fellow countrymen to complete the
victory by buying Bonds, thereby
enabling the Government to finish
it's task and bring the boys back
to the land of freedom whence trey
came. Theirs was Il great task, but
they never faltered. They went
forth to sacrifice their all If need
be, and many made the supreme sac
rifice. We at home are not asked
to sacrifice at all, but literally TO
lend our Government the Eeeded
means to bring these noble sons
home again. Patriotism demands
that we cheerfully buy all the VIC
tory Bonds we can, to write victory
over our task and help our Gov
ernment complete the victory Whlch
these noble sons have won. This
we must do. 1t is the least we can
do and be fit associates of the noble
sons who fought our battles.

BY CATHERINE WIEGER
st. James School, Steelton.

The war is over! With what a
sigh of relief many people of the
world say those few words.
With the help of Liberty Bonds,
Baby Bonds and Thrift Stamps, to
which the people at home have so
generously subscribed, the soldiers
and sailors have at last attained the
great end for which they have so
bravely struggled for two long years.
But! Is our work yet finished? ?
No.
Many thousand soldiers have been
killed, leaving many orphans, wild
ows and mothers without any. sup
port but the Government.
Many soldiers, too, have been so
seriously wounded that they Will al
ways be care. And can we cast
them aside after all their sacrifices
for us? Also, many more who have
escaped injury are anXiously await
ing their return to their native land.
To meet these expenses, does not
our Government have to turn to the
people for help. either by taxation
or the Victory Loan?
Which would we rather do, give
our money only for taxation or give
it and have it returned with inter-
est?
Why not then subscribe for the
Victory Loan with willing hSart to
help our Government accomplish
this great aim?
