American Legion.

1t has been decided by the Miltor
Talley Post of the American Legion
to have a membership drive On Sept
25, and, while new members are com
ing in every day. yet no solicitation
will be made until that date.
Fighting for the principles Of
Democracy and for the better gov
eminent Of the world, and going at
this task with the energy and push
characteristic of the American, our
men ended this war fully one and
cno-half years before tho war ex-
perts had anticipated. Now that it
has been won and the men feel the
power that unity and comradeship
gave them and realii re what their
great service was, in terms of world
service. That spirit and service should
now be developed into another spirit
end service that shall continue 20
exist and be operative in home affairs
and will bring, in it's heme applica-
ton, two sorts of benefits; the great
er benefits to the community and the
lesser but correlated benefit to the
men themselves; an d it is through
the American Legion that thir spirit
and service is hoped to be reached.
The American Lcgicn wo9 first CT
ganized in Paris, March 18th, 1919,
1t @ meeting of one thousand officers
and men, delegates from all organi-
cations of the American Expedition
airy forces in Europe. The action of
this meeting was end, sed by sim
liar meeting held in st. Louis May
Sth, 1919, when the Legio, was for
mally recognized by the troops who
Sc rived in the United States.
While the Legion is yet in its in
fancy yet it has made itself felt in
questions affecting the men in the
service. 1t strongly condemned the
activities of the l. w. VS. and the
anarchists. 1t recommended that
Congress should take steps to re-
claim the swamps and cut over tim
Der lards to be given to tho ex-ser-
vice men for homes. 1t demanded of
Congress the same disability pay for
the men in the National Guard and
National Army as pertained to those
in the Regular Army. 1t initiated
the campaign to secure the service |
men their rights under the War Risk |
Insurance Act. These are but few |
CT the things it has done.
Every sailor, soldier, and marine
in the county is wanted as a member
of the Milton Talley Post. There is
no obligation connected with the or
ganization, no difference in rank
among tht members, and no distinc-
ton made between the men who
served here and those who went /
across. 1t is not military organiza-
ton but an organization of civil
ians as an aid to the community and
the service men themselves, and to
pcrpetuate the memories of the
worlds greatest conflict.

PO|NDEXTERFAVORS ALLIANCES BUT NOT
 LEAGUE AS PLANNED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

ST. LOUIS, March 2s.-Comparing the ideas of the proposed league of nations with the ambitions of the former emperor, w h. I'm 0 f Germany, United States Senator Miles PoindeXter of Washington, in an ad- dress before members of the City club today advocated the formation of all dances as a substitute for the pro- posed covenant.
 ''The kaiser sought to set up a world government" Senator Poindexter de- clared. and there is not a doubt that he believed it was for the best inter ests of mankind. He proposed to en- force peace and to suppress the strug- gling aspirations for freedom. Like wise, the constitution of the proposed league proposes to enforce peace, to put the world in a straight jacket and expressly provides that the members of the league shall guarantee the ter ritorial and political integrity of all the members against attack.
 Instead of joining the league, America can enter alliances with na- tions that fought the war with her and the result would be the same as that promised by the league without the possibility of surrendering American sovereignty
 "The Monroe doctrine is essentially American and therefore it is impossi- ble to spread it all over the world, as this super government, the league of nations, proposes to do.'
 The senator declared the proposed interference of the proposed league with the self-determination of the va : rious countries peoples would be Q cause instead of a prevention of war

Republican 4. p. Leased Wirel

JUAREZ, Mexico, March 2S.-Fran- cisco Villa told an American prisoner in his camp that 'he was ready to shoulder his rifle and aid the United States his neighbor-to repel a foreign in- vasion whenever needed according to the American. who has just arrived at the border after being a prisoner of Villa and the home guards in western Chihuahua for 10 days. He declined to permit his name to be used but is known here and throughout Mexico as a reliable man.
 The American told a thrilling story of the arrest of himself and his com panions, they being taken before Villa personally and the conversation he had with Villa and Felipe Angeles, who was to have started a new revolutionary movement in conjunction with Villa soon.
 After we were taken to Villa by the rear guard of his headquarters com mand, we were taken before Villa per sonally after Felipe Angeles had apol- ogized because he and Villa had eaten all the breakfast" the American said Villa shook hands, told us not to worry as we would be well treated and that he had no intention of harmine cAAAs OA NGs III A'tE DiS IOOLl joining the corral, had long talk witt Angeles, who praised the American de- mocracy and said that was the kinC of government Mexico needed as there was 800 much difference between tho | high and low classes in Mexico. It was during this talk that Villa, passing by stopped to tell me that he was ready tt shoulder a rifle should the United States be invaded by a foreign force as we were neighbors and should stant 1 together"
 After being released and given saft l conduct through Villas lines, tn. American was again arrested by the home guards who are organized to pro. tect their homes from banditry. Thei1 families were hiding in the mountain canyons while they guarded thei | homes and ranches. While the Ameri
 can was held at Namiquipa by tn, home guards, they hanged three "paci ficos" because they had footed thei i homes during their absence. The ref
 ugee said the home guards and Vill; 1 had an unwritten truce and neithe

SHOW UP BARGA||l ID JAIL RATHbU|V
 ID SAVE OTHERS
[Republican A. p. Leased wirel

, DIES MONIES. March 2S.-Investi- gation of the Rathbun pardon case entered a new phase late today when the Iowa house judiciary committee heard testimony regarding the setting aside of the pardon and consequent imprisonment of Ernest Rathbun.
 The testimony centered around the alleged bargain" between the Rath- buns and state counsel, which resulted in young Rathbun's consent to impris- onment and. according to previous testimony before the committee, was followed by the quashing of certain indictments against Rathbun's father and brother and his attorney, George Clark.
 Most of the testimony was given by A. C. (BurD Johnston, of Ida Grove, special prosecutor in the Rathbun trial and who, other witnesses have said, first suggested the alleged bar gain to the Rathbuns.
 H. W. Byers. committee counsel, severely scored Johnston, Attorney General Havener and Clark for their part, in the agreement, charging Johnston with saving Clark and sending young Rathbun to the peni- tentiary."
 That boy is being held illegally in the penitentiary.' Byers shouted at Johnston, "and could be released on his own demand"
 When asked if he did not think it unfair to have deprived Rathbun of his freedom to ''save" others. Johnston declared he had never considered the pardon legal and therefore did not consider that Rathbun had been legally free'
 It has been brought out, according to the testimony of the foreman of the Ida county grand jury, that indict- ments voted against Clark and the father and brother of Rathbun. were not returned after Attorney General Havener had acquainted the jury oi the bargain and had recommended quashing the indictments.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-Five sur rendered German submarines win leave England tomorrow for the United States, manned by American crews and conveyed by the American sub marine tender Bushnell. They are ex- pected to arrive in American waters late in April and will be displayed at ports to be selected in connection with the next Liberty loan campaign
 One ofFthese craft is the L. s. 1f7, a sea going mine layer which during the war planted mines along the American coast. Two of them are the U BSS and the U BIAS regular sub mersibles of the smaller type. Another is the L C-97, one of the small mine layers and the fifth is the U-111, the standard German U-boat.
 Later, it is expected, one of the big cruisers submarines equipped with deck guns will be sent over. Adverse winds at this season and the unfamil- iarity of the American crews with the machinery make the date of the ar rival of the ships uncertain Crews for the submarines were assembled in England, most of the men being sent from the United States

Finance Commission To Paris


 BERLIN, Thursday, March 27.-(By The Associated Press)-The German financial commission will leave Wei mar for Versailles tomorrow at noon, equipped with the fullest instructions and powers. It hopes to arrive at noon Saturday.
 Versailles is believed to have been chosen for the place of meeting with the allied financial experts, because the members there will escape any un- pleasantness they might be subjected to in Paris. Part of the German press, however, considers the choice of Yer sailles as an indication that the dele gates will not be allowed to participate as equal negotiators. Some of the papers maintain on the other hand. that the entente has no such intention, since such move would upset things from the start. These journals point out that the economic council repeated ly has met at Versailles.
 The press in part is convinced by the loan of the entente invitation that the German financial commission will be given questions of considerable inn portance to work upon and that it will pe regarded as regular and perman- ent financial and political connecting link between the economic council and the German peace delegation.
 1t IS anticipated that important fi- nanclal and economic questions which VIII start immediately on the arriva | or the commission will lead directly to genuinely political negotiations with which the peace commission will deal
