No Catering to Politics.
Because of its general recogni-
ton as the mouthpiece OF SOC, 900
service men, much curious atten-
titn is being given to indications OF
the policies, political and other
wise, that it will adopt. It's or
ganizers have taken, great pains to
keep it free from any party afilia-
lions, but It will naturally have
policies which may agree with one
or another of the great parties,
anu both Of those parties are very
likely to give much heed to its po-
sition in public matters. AT the
Minneapolis convention it will pass
resolutions which will put it on
record as to many public ques-
tions. That convention will also
amend the tentative constitution or
possibly write an entirely new one.
1t will elect permanent officers Of
the Legion. Il will select perma-
nent national headquarters for that
organization. Because OF -hese
things it is evident that 1t will be
an important event not only 10
nearly five million men who have
served their country, but likewise
to the public at large.

in that Legion. The fact that one
or more posts already exist in a
community does not prevent the
formation Of new posts. Already
there are more than q thousand
such posts In the United States
with a membership OF more than
100000 men. The task that the ma

TO so increase the number Of these

anniversary of the signing Of thu

Started Last Spring.
The first step toward the organ
ization of this society was taken
in Paris in March Of this year, and
it assumed definite form when in
May Representatives from all the
states and from overseas met in a
caucus in St Louis and formed a
tentative organization and wrote a
tentative constitution to be effec-
tive until the men in service over
seas returned, to ratify it or to re-
write 1t at the great convention
which will finally build the struc-
ture.
The first individual post Of the
Legion was created in
Washington, D. c., in March of this
year and has been functioning ever
since as a bellwether and a model
for all those that have followed.

Washington, d. c., July 31.-Nine
months after the fighting came to
an end in France, it is evident that
the so-called American Legion ts
to become the Grand Army of the
Republic Of the recent war. AL
ready that organization has a ma
tionaI headquarterS and far-f1ung
tentacIes that reach INTO every
state, every city, and almost every
village and town under the fla :.
The American Legion is spreading
like a prairie fire and sweeping all
before it.
At 10 West FOrty-fourth street,
New York City, are the national
headquarters Of the Legion. Here
are found the Offices of the joint
national executive committee, COM
posed of 81 members, which is the
governing body of the Legion for
the present. Here are to be found
offices of teeming activity occupy
ing a full floor Of an Office build
ing and carrying on the work Of
the organization. Here is to be
found the finance division which
provides the funds for operation in
advance of that time when mem
bership will be sufficient to carry
forward the work of the Legion.
Here is to be found the legislative
division, the business of which Is
TO present the views and needs OF
the organization to congress. Here
is the mill Of organization which
is working through all the states.
Here is the speakers bureau, the
committee on war risk Insurance,
the committee cooperating in mat
tiers of employment, and the COM
mittee which publishes the organ
ization's weekly magazine. Here,
in fact, is the very center of this
NRew force in the life OF nation,
force that is already stupendous in
its influence.
Divided by States.
Tied into this national headquar-
tiers are the different state depart
ments. Each state department is
under the control of a state COM
mander who is assisted by state
adjutant, a state finance officer, and
advised by a single judge advocate.
All the local chapters in a given
state are under the jurisdiction OF
a state commander. The state
commander is the intermediate
step between the national head
quarters and the individual post.
He issues the charters for the indt-
viduaI posts and aids in their Of
ganization.
Any group OF Is service men, no
matter where it is located, may APP
ply for a charter to form a post.
This application is made to the
state commander, who personally
issues the charter. There is also
a state secretary in each state and
he may be called upon for any in
formation So does it become pos
sible that any group of former SER
vice men, wherever located, may
get together for the creation Of a
