disclose his whereabouts, and the
men left for their homes.
In the morning, a door that could
not be opened except from the inside
was found ajar. Within the room,

was wide open, with its contents, con

LEGION AND LABOR QUESTION
Cleveland Meeting, Made Clear
in Bulletin.

A clear and ell-dehned exposition
Of the official attitude of the American
Legion toward organized labor is con
tanned in bulletin sent out by ma
tional headquarters Of the Legion In
Indianapolis, setting forth the state
ment on the question issued by Past
National Commander D'Olier, which
was adopted by the national conven-
ton as the Legion's platform in indus
trial difficulties. The statement fol
lows:
"The attitude of the Legion toward
organized labor is the same as lis at
titude toward all groups Of American
citizens who are interested in Il square
deal for all in the maintenance of law
and order, and the protection OF the
: institutions handed down to us by our
forefathers. In any controversy be
tween capital and labor, the interest
Of the American Legion Is confined to
that of the maintenance of law and
order and, without taking part op
either side. in case Il situation should
arise where life and property are en-
dangered, 1t is the duty of members
of the Legion to perform their full
duty us citiZens, according to their
own conscience and understanding.
an such contingency it il the
Legion mans duty to assist In the
maintenance of law and order by act
ing as an Individual and Offering his
services to the duly-constituted author
tiles for the maintenance Of law and
order. There is nothing to prevent
the individual member OF the Legion
Ms an individual from taking either
side in such controversy but lhe
Legion, as an organization Will not
do So"

LEGION CLASHES
WITH CO. D
AT NEWPORT
Fast Basketball Game Elk
pected In School Hall
Floor Tonight

The sporting fans OF Newport are
expectantly awaiting the first blast of
Referee Perley Folsom's whistle that
will announce tonight, the basketball
game between two intra-city, military
rivals: Newport Post No. q of the
American Legion, and Co. l. of the
Vermont National Guard. 1t is eX-
pected that the contest this evening
will develop into one of the hardest
fought tussles that has ever been seen
on Old School Hall floor.
Many Newport citizens. who arc
enthusiastic supporters of a local
team, whenever it plays an outside
quintet, will find themselves in q
Quandary this evening whether TO
cheer for the Legion men or whether
TO shout themselves hoarse for the
Co. L five. Before the World War
every member of the recently or
gained LEGION team, with the OK
ception of Charlie Borella, who serv-
ed Uncle Sam in the Navy, belonged
to Co. L. On the other hand some Of
the present Co. l. team are mem
bers Athe American Legion, though
not of The Newport Post.
One thing is certain, and that is
the fact that there will be plenty of
sensational shots and stellar passing
to call forth from every fan, REGARD
less of his favorite, the neutral APP
plause that good play deserves.
The American Legion team that
will appear on the court tonight is
the veteran Co. L team of two years
ago. In those DAYS before Uncle Sam
called them to the colors, Bill Mossa
and Shy Kennison at forward, com
prised a pair of basketeers that
could not be beaten in Northeastern
eVrmont. While in attendance at
Newport High school both were mem
bers of team that was high school
champion Of the Green Mountain
state
At center there is John Brouillette,
who was considered one of the best
jumping pivotal men in this section
before the war. He will be ranged
alongside of Sam Davis, the regular
center for Middlebury College this
year. Since his graduation from
Newport High school, Sam has de-
veloped into one of the best centers
in collegiate basket ball in Vermont
1t will be interesting to watch The
contest this evening between these
two sterling pivotal men, between the
veteran and the youth
Captain Jimmy Jones has not di-
vulged as yet who will appear in the
forward positions for the Quardsmen
In all probability, Rudolf will start
at left forward, with either Slim Hill
or Donald Akin, a Boston University
man at right. For guards on the Co.
L quintet there are Captain Jones
Austin Hadlock and Ed. Wells and
it is possible that all will be given
an opportunity to display their abb
lily.
The veteran guards, Basil Hadlock
and Henry Mossa, together with the
Younger Charlie Borella, will comprise
the defence of the Legion men. The
baskets this evening will be few and
far between, with the water tight
guarding that this trio will put up.

ASKS FOR MILITARY ESCORTS
Philadelphia County Committee APP
peaIs to President Wilson to
Provide Firing Squads.

= Following adviceS from the adJu-
tant general of the army to the ehect
that it is implacticable for the War
department, without special appro-
priation for transportation expenses,
to. provide military escorts for the
burial at Philadelphia of soldier dead
whose bodies are being returned from
overseas, the Philadelphia county COM
mittee of the Legion has Appealed to
President Wilson to provide at least
two firing squads for this purpose
from Camp Dix or through the Frank
ford arsenal, at Philadelphia.
THE American Legion representa-
tives," the letter reads, were not sat
isflGd with the excuse offered by the
adjutant general of the army for re
fuslng to assist in meeting this emer-
gency. The bodies of soldier dead OF
the A. +. f. are being returned to
Philadelphia daily. and as many as
five requests day are being received
by the American Legion. The Legion,
Though its representatives III the
county organization, took the position
that if cannot avoid its responsibility
TO honor these men who gave their
lives for their country.
THE United States army IS now re-
cruited to a strength of 100000. 1t
was the unanimous opinion among the
Legion representatives of the 7G posts
in This county. that as commander in
chief of the United States army, you
might consider it a privilege to assign
to Philadelphia 1G men who might
serve as military escorts, thus assist
ing the American Legion in perform
ing paramount patriotic duty
