WAR VETERANS FOR
A BETTER AMERICA N E
STATEMENT ISSUED DEFENDING
AIMS AND PURPOSES OF
-: ORGANIZATION.
STAND SOLIDLY AGAINST DOC
s. .TRINE OF UNIVERSAL MI
LITARY SERVICE.

&, The following statement has been
issued by the officers Of the national
organization of World War Veterans
in defense Of their principles and in re
futation Of charges made against them
by antagonistic groups:
The World War Veterans, with other
organizations that are earnestly striving
to insure to this nation that demo-
cracy for which it fought efficiently
and faithfully is grossly misrepresent-
ed by interests who, before the war,
during the war and since the war re-
veal consistent hatred of democracy.
1t is not necessary to incur the an
mostly of short-sighted persons by
charging these interests with entirely
selfish motives. Let us rather agree,
for the sake of our argument that
they are merely conservatives who do
not think that the people ought to be
trusted, that instead the government
should be in the hands of those who,
as President Baer of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad declared: "God,
in His wisdom, has placed them in
charge of wealth and power These
conservatives, holy as some of them
appear, nevertheless we insist, do not
play the game as fairly as they would
have us play it.
The fundamental thing in our creed
is Americanism not an Americanis1n
that reads into the Constitution pow
ers Of Government that plainly repel
Democratic Government, but Ameri-
canism az expressed in that immortal
in preamble in the worlds: "To es-
tablish justice, insure domestic tran
guilty, and secure the bless
ings Of Liberty" We submit that
the attempt to use returned soldiers
to violate the liberty of working men,
destroy their property, threaten their
peace and even beat and murder them
in the name of Americanism is a wicked
perversion. We believe that the Courts
Of Law established under our National
Constitution be allowed to deal with
all men, no matter what their belief
OF what their crime and that when
these Courts do function they interpret
Their wa in accordance with the intent
OF the makers and not in harmony with
class. prejudice. s#i.s
Again, it is charged that the World
War Veterans is not a national organi-
zation. Only recently the newspapers
have announced the union Of our or
ganization and the Rank and File As
ISOLATION, formerly the Private Sol
diers, Sailors and Marines Legion, hav-
ing membership Of one hundred thou

the Eastern states and Oh the Pacific

The Cardinals scored once In

Against Hoosiers.

Decatur, H., Nov. 22.-Showing a
wonderful offense that swept the
Hammond team of their feet during
the first half here yesterday, the
Staleys defeated tie Indian eleven
% to Z.
Although reinforced by three of
the Chicago Tigers, the Hammond
eleven could not break up the ma
chine-iike play of the locals in the
first half. Long runs by Lanum
and Sternaman gave the Starch
workers their first two touchdowns.
while two forward passes for total
OF SO yards put over the third one
10 seconds before the end of the
half.
Hammond came back strong in
the third period and a series of
passes gave them their only score,
Specht to Hess doing the work. The
Staleys secured their final touch
down on long pass to Halas over
the line. Fumbles cost the starch
workers at least two touchdowns.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Contestants In
the prelimfnaries Of the national
three-cushion billiard championship
tournament are staging q pretty
fight for the honor Of challenging
Bob Cannefax. St. Louis, who holds
the title.

and are still within easy striking
distance of the leaders.
Short Game Brings Upsets.
Fifty points in . short game for

trants are agreed. The short game
has brought about many so-called

Both DALEY and Deere survived

Huffman. The Catholics have de-
feated Purdue. Indiana and North

have been among the best this Sea-
son. Because popular opinion usu-l
ally regards the conference cham
pion as the best in the section. the
Catholics will probably be rolegkt-,
ed to second place by most people,
whether they really belong there's
or. not. U0F :;
Minnesota has undoubtedly been
the biggest surprise OF the season.
because O. its failure to win one
game. The showing made against
Michigan and Wisconsin probably
represents the real ability of the
Gophers. Williams team has BEEN
struggling with bad luck from the
very start Of the season. and tho
fact that johnson. Reuben and
sometimes Oss and Arnsten WERE
lost to the team undoubtedly weak
encd them greatly. Oss was an all
conference man last year, but In
turies have SO hurt him that hel
could not play anything like hisI
game this year.
Maroons 'Were Crippled
Chicago. in losing to Wisconsin,
by o 80 margin, established an mn
Gefeatable claim to being the bestl
losing team in the league. Ohio
beat the Maroons, rs; Illinois and
Wisconsin triumphed, 80. In tho
last two games the Staggmen put
up magnificent battle and playedi
wonderful defensive football, but a
team has to win before 1t will get
rank. There is no question but
what the Maroons have had the,
worst luck in years in regard to-
injuries, because they have, been
without their star men in all Of the
big games or else had to play them
badly crippled The Michigan con-
test represented the lowest point OF
the season for Chicago.
Northwestern regards its show
ing for the season as satisfactory,
and after the thorough house
cleaning that was made last year
at Evanston, the record for the
year was about all that could be
expected. The Purple had lots OF
false hopes raised by the defeat OF
the Gophers. but since Wisconsin
punctured their balloon the going
; has been rough. In percentage the
/ Northwestern eleven tops Chicago.
| but il is very likely true that the
Maroons are much the better team.
That question may be settled next
year. for a resumption of athletic
relations are due between the two
Chicago schools.
Purdne Fights Indiana
Indiana likewise was given .
hard battle in beating Purdue,
which has been ragged eleven all
season. 1t is almost certain that
Scanlon will not be at Lafayette
next year, for the Purdue authori-
ties are known to have angled for
Rockne of Notre Dame, who re-
fused to switch. Down at Indiana
they are satisfied with the showig
of Stiehm's eleven, which won three
games and lost one in the confer
fence season.
