On 1000 gion as of April
oo' i92o, marks an important step in the
history OF the 15-months-old BODY. II
STANDS as conclusive evidence that the
mutual expenditure Of some S257OOO
wnich the Legion borrowed prior to
the Minneapolis convention for use in
building up solid, permanent organi-
Zatlon on firm basis, was wisely
made.
When the idea of Legion was
nrst conceived and its founders be-
gan putting into execution their plans
Tor making it the vast reality It now
IS. said Mr.. Tyndall, they found
they needed money, just as in the case
OF any new association or enterprise.
All business men know that every new
enterprise must sustain an initial loss
to be liquidated later over period Of
time after the body becomes sue
cess.
TO initiate the organization plan,
some 200 friends of the Legion fndf-
vidually guaranteed 90 separate loans.
aggregating S257,OOO, secured by their
personal notes. The money was Dor.
ro"ed on these notes throughout the
country on basis Of apportionment
according to federal reserve bank dis.
tricts. The loan is legal debt &C.
knowledged by the Legion at its ma.
uonal convention. and constitutes an
ordinary, normal business transaction.
The notes bear interest and every
penny of interest and principal will
De paid off just as fast as our present
stable resources warrant.
Today, the best evidence that the
money was wisely expended is found
IN the fact that the American Legion
is definitely established as a complete.
~ organized body. That active man
agement of Its affairs is in the hands
OF a national executive committee
composed of representative from ev.
cry state in the Union shows that the
organization is sound one.
ut is due entirely to the able efforts
OF those IN charge of the early organi.
cation work, who raised the money
and expended it in business-like
way, that the Legion is now able to
pay off these debts in substantial
sums.
National headquarters of the Lee
glon receives no financial support exc
cept from dues and sale of emblems.
excluding. of course, the 100000 trust
fund given to the Legion by the z.
M. G. A. This money, which probably
will be increased to $5G0,OOO after the
final audit of the Y. NJ. G. A. canteen
account. will be invested in safe secur-
itles pending the formal appointment
of the Fletcher American National
Bank of indianapolis as trustee. the
executive committee Of the Legion hav-
Ing decided that the sum be held in
trust for a period of five years. The
principal, under this plan, is to be
invested and re-invested, the income
to be used for the benefit of disabled
ex-service men or for work in con-
nection with the National Americanism
Commission of the American Legion,
the donors having expressed this pref
erence."

authorities to draw up list of the unemployed.
Most of the magistrates of Belgian communes, fully
realizing that they intrused with the duty of
safeguarding national integrity refused to furnish
under the heading unemployed" list of free citizens
destined to be transformed the next day into list
of prescribed ones.
Checked by this refusal, the military authorities
resorted to roundabout way The unemployed"
not being registered, their only remaining resource
was to register those who were "employed" What
could not be obtained by direct means it was sought
to procure by indirect maneuver WIZ by graciousy
offering stamp to those whom they wanted to spare
and thus by process of subtraction to secure list
OF unemployed who were to be deported.
After-the threat addressed to the burgomasters
came the bait offered to the burghers. The two
attempts made by the military authorities had the
same end in view: namely, to bring Begians to CO.
operate in organizing the deportation of their fellow
countryrnen. Both were to have the same result,
viz, the snatching from their homes Of class of
citizens as innocent and as free as any other Bel
gians and to force them into exile and to work for
the enemy. The fact that all those hoping to reap
some advantage from the possession of stamped
card did not suspect the Of hook concealed
in the bait be readily conceived. The fact that
men of the world with family interests confided to
their charge did not fully realize all that their feel
1ngs of national solidarity demanded is not to be
used as grievance against them; but the priest with
whom temporal interests are nothing compared
with those that eternal; the priest who in his
capacity of preacher of the gospel and official repre-
sentative of the Christian law would blush with
shame if he failed in his personal conduct to act in
conformity with its loftiest teachings; the priest
protector of the weakest, has, arising out of his
moral obligations, keener insight, thus enabling him
to realize that he would be doing less than his duty
were he not to push fraternal devotion beyond the
strict requirements of the common law. These are
the lofty ideals by which the clergy of Malines have
been inspired and of which your Exceency has had
a glimpse in the letter addressed to the Kreischef

"Kidnapping of Thousands"

In my letters of October 19 and November 10
and also in most of mine of November 29 made a
protest with all the energy of which I was capable
and with which the love of justice and charity had
inspired me, against the kidnapping of thousands of
our countrymen. Nevertheless, fearing that the
military authorities would remain deaf to these pro
tests, | added to my entreaties this very natural
thought off, however, you should prove obstinate in
injustice, allow at least priests to lessen the
evil your acts of violence are infcting on our peo
pie; accept our cooperation to what according
to your instructions, niquitous though thew he

You have withheld your line of action from the con-
troll of those who, by their social vocation and ther
daily contact with the lower classes are best qualified

regulations, l respected the order.
But there is a barrier before which military force
is held up and behind which is ntrenched inviolate
right On this side of the barrier it is we the rep-
resentatives of moral authority who speak as masters
We cannot and will not let the Word of God be
shackled.
The military governor has had the effrontery to
fine nineteen priests 100 marks each for having de-
clined from conscientious motives to avail themselves
of privilege extended to them. So be it, They will
pay the 100 marks out of their modest salaries or if
unable to meet this demand, they will perhaps satisfy
