1.-The attitude of the Legion toward
organized labor is the same as its at
titude toward all groups of American
citizens who are interested in a, 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 on
either side, in case situation should
arise where life and property are en-
dangered it is the duty of members
of the Legion to perform their full
duty as citizens, according to their
own conscience and understanding.
In such a contingency it is the Le-
gion mans duty to assist in the main
tenance of law and order by actig as
an individual dnd Offering his services
to the duly constituted uthorities for
the maintenance of law and order.
There is nothing to prevent the indi-
vidual member of the Legion. as an
individual from taking either side in
such a controversy but the Legion,
as an organization, will not do So.''

BERLIN, Nov. ga group of
German steel works is understood
to have obtained control of large
iron ore deposits near Sahara, in
Minas Geraes. Brazil. The deposits,
which are reported to compare in
quality with Swedish ores, are
about zoo miles from the sea. 1t
will be necessary to construct a
railway and harbor works before
they can be profitably exploited.
This invasion of Brazil is in line
with the general policy of the Ger
man mills to broaden the sources
of their ore supply and to assure
supplies as far as possible by the
opening of mines of their own.
At present, when running at from
IS to so per cent of their capacity.
German industry finds no difficulty
in getting all the ore it needs-or.
rather, can pay for-despite the loss
of the Lorraine fields. France and
Gutenberg raise no obstacle to the
export of their Minette ores, and
sufficient ore is obtainable from
Sweden, Spain and India
German ironmasters, however
forcsee possible political and eco
nomic difficulties in the way of get
ting enough raw material, once the
iron and steel industries-not only
in Germany. but also in France and
the rest of the world-are on their
feet again. They wish to assure
themselves by the access to inde-
pendent sources OF adequate guam
titles OF ore for the full require
ments of German mills.

that he would die of stomach trou-

could neither eat nor sleep and IL
was necessary for him to wash out
his stomach two and three times
daily. After this diagnosis was
made again and again by many dif-
ferent specialists on stomach Trou-
Bile. DIR. Reese set out to do what
ne could to relieve his own condi-
ton. With considerable effort he
arrived at q formula that seemed
to relieve him. He took -tsifs. max
