JOHNSON TO ATTEND OLYMPIC
GAMES

Carl Johnson, the versatile athlete
of the University Of Michigan track
team, and captain of that organiza-
ton, is now almost certain to be one
of those chosen to represent America
IN the coming Olympic games. Last
year Johnson had the opportunity to
go to the Perishing meet held by AL
lies in France, but he refused for the
reason that it would have prevented
his representing Michigan in the
Western intercollegiate meet.
Johnson is probably the most spec
tacular track athlete who has ever
represented the Maize and Blue. In
1918 he won three first in the out
door meet; in 1919 he won four firsts
lin the high and low hurdles, in the
broad jump, and in the high jump a
performance never equalled in a ma
jor intercollegiate meet. In addition
to this he holds the unique record of
having won first I'm every event in
which he has participated in compe-
tition with Western Conference teams.
Ralph Craig, Michigan star of IL
and. IL, attended the last Olympic
games in Stockholm, winning honors.
With an equal if not greater star, in
the person of present Michigan cap
tain, the University again bids fair to
be well represented in that world
event in the walks of sports.

Gov. 6urnquIst, Of Minnesota, Telis
Why He Favors Woods Nomination
for Presidency.
FOUND SOUND AND PRACTICAL

In formal statement endorsing
Gen. Leonard Wood for the Republican
presidential nomination, Gov. j. A
A. Burnquist Of Minnesota, says:
in accepting a position on Gen
Woods committee. l wish to say that
am strongly In favor OF Gen. Wood
for president. From reports and con.
versations with people in different
parts of Minnesota, l am firmly con
WINGED that he Is the choice of the
Republicans of this state.
Gen Wood is the type of man need,
ed for our country at this particular
time. His record shows him to be
sound and practical. Business effici
ency has been one of his strongest
characteristics. His experience in diff
ferent sections of this country and in
so many portions Of the world has
given him the needed insight into
domestic and International affairs.
"The executive and military train.
ing of General Wood makes him the
kind of candidate that these times
demand. Nominating him would give
to the service men of the nation the
recognition they deserve. Opposition
to service man must, of course, be
expected from certain elements In the
country, Sbut when one can be found
with the character, ability, and
Americanism Of Gen. Wood. nothing,
in my opinion, will so closely unite
all our loyal people as his nomination
and election"

WHAT THE LEGION HAS DONE

Established service station at ma
tional headquarters and system Of CO.
operating war risk officers in every
state, thereby adjusting thousands Of
compensation claims for dependents of
men who died or were disabled.
National headquarters alone, which
takes up only the most complicated
cases that cannot be handled by posts
or state headquarters, has settled in
dividual claims aggregating approx
mately S1,000,OO0.. between November
IL, 1919, and May Is, 1920.
The American Legion was conceived
in Paris, February Is, 1919, at gath
ering of twenty members of the A. e.
f. Prior to the Membership Push
it had more than 100000 members
in more than 5000 posts throughout
America and foreign countries, besides
more than 500 women's auxiliary units.
How's that for "youngster" fifteen
months old?
The senate recently passed the bill
adopted in the house October 80, 1919,
providing for the deportation of GER
tain undesirable aliens and denying
readmission to those thus deported
This measure embodied principles ia
vored by the Legion at its st. Louis
caucus in May. 1919, and its passage
was largely due to the efforts of the
Legions national legislative commit
tee, of which Thomas w. Miller is
chairman.

Ex-sERvlcE MEN IN SPORTS
Olympic Games Will Recall Ancient
Days When All Athletes Were
Fighting Men.

Until the Oxford Cambridge relay
team went to the Pennsylvania relay
carnival short time ago and won the
mile relay race from some of the fleet
est teams in the United States, Amer
lean athletes looked upon the Olympic
games to be held at Antwerp as being
designed more or less for their own
particular amusement. The victory of
the English runners at Philadelphia
was something Of shock, and some
dopesters are willing to concede that
the Stars and Stripes may not after
all break tape first in all the events.
Contrary to general belief, there will
be quite Sprinkling of ex-service men
in the American team. One athletic
expert has estimated that 60 per cent
or more of the competitors will be vet
Grams of some branch of the service.
Many of these on form should be placed
high in the events. Athletes-the anna
teurs-travel at so fast a pace that
they do not remain at their top form
for long, but many of the ex-service
men still are leading in track and field.
We have, for instance, Pat Ryan,
former artilleryman, for the artillery
Is an ideal branch for hammer
thrower Pat is still the worlds cham
pion and the record holder. In the
Inter-Allied games in Paris year ago
he was only allowed to give an exhibit
ton. The French were afraid that Pat
would mess up some of the spectators
if he were permitted to put the full
heave into the hammer.
Earl w. Eby is one of the best mid
die distance runners in the United
States. He won the 400-meter race
and finished second in the S00-meter
race at the Inter-Allied games.

Rotary Club Of North Carolina Among

of the Measure.

Members of the Rotary club Of Will
mington, North Carolina, who recently
wired senators and congressman urg-
ing rejection of the American Legions
four-foId optional compensation bill
saying they did not believe ex-service
men wanted Stree will offering from

resolution adopted at mass meeting
of approximately 500 ex-service men
of their own community.
The resolution recites that the Will
mington post of the American Legion
had already gone on record in favor
of the bill and that therefore the
Rotary club members could not have
felt they were expressing the real
sentiment Of ex-service men.
"We believe" the resolution reads
in part, that said Rotary club men,

to cover their true selfish desires. he
