The American Legion is a militant

interested in and intends to influence
the policies OF the United States; it is
not a partisan or political organiza-

The American Legion will not dis

of multiplicity of problems. 1t does

welfare of those who served in this
war and of their dependents. and II
does furthermore intend that the solu-

to these two parties and all other

its members as individuals will be
largely influenced to support that
party which, for the time, most cor

such tours. which consisted of
walking about the area near their
barracks for a prescribed number
of hours. Habitual walkers. mean

as AREA birds" Jack PershinG
was never an area bird" though
there is a record-Special Orders

tells of his being released from
arrest" for some offense to serve
six hours of extra duty"
But if some studies came hard
to Jack, soldering was easy" Gen
Walcutt resumed. "In his yearling

same time he entered into the social
life of the place. He attended the

he went to West Point it was not

such as are in vogue today. or were
before the war. were not in vogue
in our day. Sports were frowned
upon and it was considered undig-
nified to cheer and holler.

but l never remember Jack playing
He fenced. as remember it We
had an old Spaniard named Tony
