Sioux Falls, Sept. 21.-When the
national convention of the American
Legion opens in Cleveland, O., on
Monday, September 81, the South
Dakota department will be repre-
sented by it's full quota of IL ex-
service men.
And, the South Dakota delegation

Baker disfayor the petition, filed by
the Mennonite colony, now of Cana
da, formerly of South Dakota,
which asks, for the exemption from
military service of members of that
colony, should ii move back to the
states.
The Mennonite colony moved from
South Dakota to Canada in the
spring of 1918 because they were
not satisfied with conditions here
and, because. in turn, state authori-
ties were said to. have not been sat
isfied with the colonists' policy of
opposing military service.
1t is understood that the Mennon-
ties met with the same oppositions
i'm Canada, hence the decision to re-
turn to the states to settle. Missis-
sippi has been the state selected as
their next location. So after this
announcement was made, two
months ago, the Mississippi depart
ment of the American Legion got
busy and passed resolutions that
frowned on the coming to their state
of the colony.
Then, when it was announced
that Secretary of War Baker had
been petitioned to make certain con-
cessions to this colony reagrdine
exemption from military service
both the South Dakota and Missis-
sippi departments started action
along the same lines.
Accordingly at the national con-
vention the delegations from these
two states will make strong bid tc
get action through requesting the
government to be strict with the
colony of people which ii is alleged
continually has refused to abide by
laws while in this country.
