The Paris (France) post OF the
American Legion has started drive
for IA five million-franc endowment
fund with which to meet the demand

Hospitals.

More than 100000 men in almost
10000 American Legion posts In all
parts Of the United States and Its pos
sessions have been enlisted In a cam
paign to make life more worth living
10 some 10000 sick and disabled
heroes Of the World war who still are
patients In government and private
hospitals and to humanize all activi-
ties that enter into their care and
treatment. Government bureaus at
Washington have supplied the Legion
with lists Of these hospitals, about
1900 In number, and the number of
ex-service men who are patients In
each. The country has been districted
according to Legion membership and
each OF the five national vice com
handlers Of the Legion has been as
signed TO supervise the work OF Le-
gion posts, committees and individuals
In various states. A plan to take
census Of all ex-service men, especial
ly those still In hospitals. and straight
en- out their compensation and insur-
ance claims, Is included In the general
program. The full weight Of the won.

be thrown behind the movement and

The Legion takes the position that
the manned World war heroes repre-
sent Americas fundamental obligation

can make conditions with regard to
