Attitude Not Fixed
Chairman Of National Exec

His Position OH the Issue
Clear Before Convention

The American Legion has not taken
any position with reference to univer-
sal military training, says Henry D.
Lindsey, chairman Of the national ex-
ecutive committee, in letter to state
chairmen, made public yesterday. Mr.
Lindsey said the letter was prompted
by the fact that number of organi-
cations have sought to involve the
legion in propaganda. 1t follows:
at has come to my attention tha,
the Universal Military Training League
has in circular letters addressed tc
certain members of the American Le-
gion emphasized the fact that am 9
member of the advisory committee OF
that league.
81 first had this information en- Oc-
tober Z, and on that date I wrote q
letter to H. H. Gross, president OF
the Universal Military Training League
stating my name must not be used by
the league in any way while / hold
my present official position with the
American Legion; that the attitude OF
members Of the legion with regard tc
universal military training appears tc
be quite mixed; that the American Le-
gion had not taken any position with
regard to the training idea which
would warrant any Of its officers as.
suming, even indirectly, to represent
the legion as FOR or against universa
training.
The purpose Of this communica,
ton is that you may clearly under
stand my position and see that it i:
fully understood in your state"

arrived in Paris, the information now

that their copies of the secret treat

London. British newspapers of

ent sends dispatch from "authori-
tative sources" in which he says his
informant told him that he believes
that Germany is not continuing 10

"She has now concentrated more
than Is divisions under Won linden
burg on the Western 'front.'" the cor
respondent quotes his informant as
saying. I'VE also believe that Ger
many is keeping her troops under
arms on the pretext of economic ne
cessity. German demobilization is a
condition to our rehabilitation and
therefore DISARMAMENT is impossible
20 long as Germany does not continue
to demobiIize.
The correspondent says he has
been informed by competent British
authority that Marshal Foch made n
declaration of a somewhat serious
character at a meeting of the SUI
preme War Council"
"He feels" this authority is quot
ed as saying, that the Germans are
beginning 10 forget that they are
beaten. They are apt to forget that
we are in state sof war. They have
been slow in handing over transport
and other things They are causing
a great deal of difficulty.

of Congress, Supreme Court justices,
members of the cabinet, army and
navy officers, and diplomats OF many
nations heard Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts praise Roosevelt as a
statesman and as man.
Crowded galleries and the throng
OF men and women who could not
gain admission testified to the per-
sonal feeling for the man whose
death shocked the world. It was
this to which Senator Lodge, a close
friend of the man he eulogized, re-
ferred when he spoke
Senator Lodge was the only speak
er and the services were simple.
Prayers by the Senate and House
chaplains and anthems and patriotic
hymns by the Marine Band added to
the stirring spiritual nature of the
services.
Simultaneous with the capitol SER
vices, memorial exercises for the for
mer president were held in various
cities over the country and in Ameri-
can army camps at home and over
seas.
Virtually all members of the Sen
ate and House attended the ioine
session. Vice President Marshall and
Speaker Clark presided Jointly while
seated before them were Chief JUS
