One large ham, caught in the teeth Of
the gale and hurled at lightning speed

to break off the trunk of the tree, a

the scene said There was sufficient
meat in the smokehouse, according to

BOLSHEVIKI ARMY
 RAPIDLY ADVANCES
During Past Fortnight Siberian Army Has Been Forced to Retreat
 100 Miles.

Omsk, June 26, (By the Associated Press )-During the last fortnight the Siberian western army has retired from the Viatka river to Kama, ap- proXlmate1y 100 miles, before superior BolSheVik forces. The northern army under Gen. Caida has pushed forward slightly and occupied the Glazov, hold tug the line northward, but being un- able to hold it's left flank towards Sarapul. Ufa is under bonn bardment from Bolshevik guns.
 The BolsheViki massed large forces, including 5000 cavalrymen along the Ufa-Samara railroad, Outnumberng the Siberian army by quite a large proportion. The cavalry, taking ad- vantage of the rapid advance of the western army during March and April pushed a wedge between it and the northern army turned the Hanks of the two armies and precipitated their retreat. The western army, han dicapped by lack of rifles, was unable to support the advanced elements suf- ficiently to checq the retreat until the Kama was reached. Thousands of mobilized soldiers who had been re- leased from service had been gather ed in the rear but could not be made available to meet the situation. Re- cruits who are training are being armed to supply the troops at the front with rifles. The need of small arms is extremely pressing. There is a tremendous exodus of civilians anC peasants who are fleeing from the third Bolshevik visitation
 The present front runs from Sara pull to Ufa and thence to Smerlitamal ! and Orenburg. From there it rum west along the Ural river.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

Editorials in the latest issue of the
American Legion Weekly are of in
terest, not only TO members of the
Legion, but to all ex-service men and
Americans generally. The first edi-
torial disposes effectively of the be-
lief of some that the legion is an of
ficePs organization.
The weekly says, "More than ESQ.,
600 members are now active in the
American Legion. The legion is gov
erned by the majority voice of its
members. The largest number of of
ficers ever commissioned In the army
during the war was approximately
10000. If all those one-time officers
had Joined the American Legion,
which they have not. they would be
outnumbered three to one at this mo-
ment. Which disposes of that mat
ter"
Speaking of the incorporation of the
legion, the weekly says, Congress
may be credited with speedy action in
passing the Wolcott-Johnson bill, of
ficially incorporating the American
Legion. The measure went through
committee hearings and was passed
by both houses during September.
The president took time from the
press of his tour of the country to
read the important document. He
affixed his signature while aboard his
private car, at Hornbrook, Cal.
This action confers upon the Am
srican Legion an exceptional dis
tinction and recognition. The young
est veteran association in America, it
is the first in the history of the coun-
try to receive such recognition from
Congress. That such recognition has
occurred within six months from the
inception of the legion in France is
merely another indication Of the new
energy which the veterans of 1918
are infusing into American life"
"a dominant feature of the ma
tional charter is its emphatic deter
mination against partisan politics.
This stand is summed up in a phrase
OF unmistakable language: The or
ganization shall be non-political and
as an organization shall not promote
the candidacy of any person seeking
public Office"
