PATRIOTIC PEP
MARKS THE FIRST
MEET OF LEGION
Captain Adams Gives impress
sions>of the Great Gathering
Held at Minneapolis. Where
Nebraska Cut Big Figure.

| Capt c. "A. Adams returned
Thursday from Minneapolis, where
he attended the convention of the
American legion. Captain Adams as
sisted General Courdenet, who rep
| resented Marshal Fcch on behalf OF
the French government, in present
ing the decorations awarded to
members the legion by the
French, and which were sent ON to
be distributed at this time.
In referring to the convention and
its work, Captain Adams says;
The American legion is certainly
giving mighty impetus to the pa
triotic spirit of the country.
We are all proud of the 100 per
cent intrepid brave American boys,
who'lett our homes to take part in
the world war. 1t was my pleasure to
meet with them in their national
encampment at Minneapolis, MINI,
this week. The action of the en-
calnpment convinces me that they
have returned with their American
spirit einpha sized a thousand fold,
and it will not be their fault if the
spirit Of American liberty. law and
order, does not stand in the van of
the nations of the world, in not only
maintaining the laws Of the land. but
they will become the potent force
that will carry to complete consul
nation the peace OF the world.
Will Drive Out Anarchy.
"The encafnpment consisted of
over 1000 delegates, representing
100000 of membership. The pa
triotic pep they exhibited and the
clean-cut American doctrines they
proclaimed will soon rid this coun-
try of anarchy in all it's forms. The
American legion plainly said to this
undesirable element, that they must
depart from our shores, and not
stand on the order of their going.
The meeting was an inspiration to
Americanism, of which this country
can we'll be proud.
Nebraska was ably represented.
The Omaha posts can well be proud
of the men they sent. They were
all prominent figures in the conven-
ton halls. Alien Tukey's name was
received with great ovation; his
distinctive war service and the ac-
ton he so promptly took in the
maintenance of law and order in the
riot here had already given him ma
tional distinction. but the earnest
ness and leloquence of T. J. MCGUIRE
sent Allen Tukey's name to the head
of the list of vice commanders in.
chief. McGuire's speech showed him
worthy Of the Craftsmanship Of the
Nebraska delegation. --
Or. F. C. Henry, Hird Strtyker,
Ralph Coad and A. D. Weaver dis
tinguished themselves on the floor
of the convention, and the whole
delegation was rife with an agrees
sive western spirit that characterized
them as leaders in every respect.
"Our country is safe in the hands
of the American legion"
