LEGION AGAINST
LAW VIOLATIONS
tpv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrREl

indianapolis Ind, Dec 22.-Frank-
lin D'Olier. national commander of
the American legion, today declared
that neither national, state nor local
organizations of the American legion
have any right to take the law in their
own hands nor Interfere with proper
authorities" and warned members of
the legion that such action would be
subversive of the principles and ideals
of the organization. The declaration
was part of a statement, made by the
national commander in view of the re-
cent reports of activities OF members
of the legion, which, he said made it
imperative that the policy of the or
ganization with respect to its stand
ing on the maintenance of law and
order be defined

We represented the spear point, keen

power of a whole nation at war. Our
effectiveness against the enemy was
in proportion to the strength of the
country back of us. And now we must
realize that the strength of the legion
and our influence and service to the
nation will be measured only by our
ability to cooperate effectively with
the 100, 900, 900 other loyal and pa
triotic American citizens in the pro-
motion of 100 per cent Americanism,
and the maintenance of law and order.
We know that there is only one way
to maintain law and order and that
one and only way is through the
orderly processes of government and
its duly constituted agents.

The prosecution also introduced

police detective, q second alleged
written confession by New lengthier
than the. first placed before the jury
last week, j. II. Richardson, q
admitted to him he killed Miss Lesser
because she would not marry him and
was emphatic in asserting there was
no foundation for reports the girl
might have killed herself.
The presentation of evidence by the
defense was begun this afternoon. the
state having completed its case with
unexpected speed shortly before noon.
The first defense witness was A. N.
Burger. a resident of Glendale. a
So burb. who was employed at the
same local business establishment
where New and Miss Lesser worked.
He testified that in the latter part Of
June of this year. he heard Miss Les
ser exclaim to Miss Edna Clancy, a
half sister of New. and other young
girls working at the establishment: "I
wish / We're dead"
Burger said he expressed surprise
that young girl, apparently in good
health, should be so respondent and
"endeavored to laugh her out of her
mood" but she persisted in express
sions of a like nature, the witness
added.
LeCompte Davis, who, with Judd
Rush and John l.. Richardson is de-
Tending New, said he introduced this
testimony in connection with the con-
tentions of the defense that Miss Les
ser was in such state of mind be-
cause of expected birth of a child,
that she was likely to have taken her
own life.
The defense then plunged into the
reading of numerous dispositions in
an ATTEMPT to show New had been
considered mentally unsound many
years before the tragic death of his
sweetheart,

The Italian Farmer.

The Italian farmer is evidently moth
ing If not willing to experiment. No
fewer than three classes of collective
farms are In successful operation in
the country. In one class a cO-opera-
tive society of farmers acts as landlord
for the individual members, each Of
whom tills his own farm Independently
Of the others. Under the second plan
the cooperative society holds the
land, decides from year to year how It
is to be divided and cultivated, and
appoints each member to his part in
the program of cultivation. The third
plan is more complicated: the CO.
operative society rents large farm
which is worked by permanent staff
Of members receiving a salary for their
services, and by other members who
divide their time between work on the
cooperative farm and on privately
owned farms. All three forms Of CO.
operation are highly successful accord
ing to recent accounts. They have this
point in common, the elimination of
middlemen between farmer and con-
sumer.

Ths American soldier in the great

guys have been busy ever since Amer
lea got into the war, furnishing cyni-
cal explanations Of the American fight

In spite of the complex arguments Of
the analytical psychologists who can
understand anything but the simple
sincerity Of an honest man, the Amer

establishment Of those principles, and
has every intention Of working In
peace for the preservation of that for
which he fought.

to me, the word "crystallizatiOn" oc-
Cured again and again.
1--WE want" he said, ito crystalline
the spirit that made it possible for us
to get into this war and to fight 1t as
we did"
Do you realize, you who read this,
what that spirit is that this organiza-
ton wants to crystalline and preserve2
I'll give you an example of IL that I
saw.
A shattered church in the Marne sa-
lient during the latter part Of July: 1t
was filled with freshly-wounded on
stretchers. The shells were whining
over and bursting about 1t. A slim,
big eyed, very boyish boy was brought
in all shot to pieces. He was very
ordinary American boy, certainly not
more than eighteen. A medical ma
jor was passing.
"Hey, doc" the young fellow called
weakly.
"What is it, SOM" the major asked,
bending above him.
"Tell me, doc" the boy begged hus-
kily. "Am lam bad hit?
The major looked at the descriptive
slip with which the wounded boy was
tagged and hesitated. He knew the
young fellow had less than half an
hour Of life left in him.
"Well, I'll tell you, son." he said
slowly. you're in a pretty bad way.
but we're going to do all we can for
you"
The boy-who was very ordinary
young fellow, as have said-saw the
truth under the thin camoufage Of
kindness.
He knew he was dead. He caught
his breath quickly, closed his eyes,
and, reaching up, caught hold OF the
majors hand and held 1t tight for
little time.
Then he sighed, opened his eyes, and
folded his arms contentedly on his
breast. He looked up at the major,
and there was the calm light of glad
resignation on his face
"well, anyhow" he whispered tri-
umphantly, II guess I made good.
didn't II"
"You sure did, son." the major as
sured him.
The boy smiled again and died,
happy in the knowledge that he had
made good in his personal obligation
to establish the principles of Justice,
freedom and democracy.
That's the spirit that the American
Legion wants to crystalline, to perpet-
uate, to preserve and translate into
terms of constructive civilian effort
that will insure the continuation in
force of the principles that the sol
dier fought to save.-WNliam Slavens
