 FOR SERVICE MEN

run 1ERVlGE WIEN MESA, Dec. 19-MalSing a plea for | better care and more direct attention by the United States government to the soldiers who were physically dis aoled during the war, and stating that there now are fully 5000 soldiers who have been absolutely neglected by the government, E. J. Winslett, national vice commander of the American Le- zion, delivered an interesting address to members of the Mesa post in behalf or the disabled men, at the posts reg ular meeting held here Saturday night. Herbert Updegraff of the American Legion news service and Bert Clingan, Arizona department commander of the Legion, also addressed the members. The Mesa post originally had laid plans for the reception of the depart ment commander Saturday night and the membership was agreeably sur prised when the two officials from national headquarters also attended as guests of the post. In addition to the regular meeting of the post, a smoker and Sally Ann" doughnuts and coffee feed was enjoyed by the membership. Mir. Winslett, who is spending some two weeks in Arizona in behalf of dis
  tional heaquarters, to be used in an ef- fort to secure better attention for the men from the government spoke of Arizona as the ideal health resort of the United States for men who were incapacitated by the war. If the Amer ican Legion can but accomplish a di rect result for disabled men" in the words of National Commander Gal braith. it will have accomplished it's fn NTr Winslett. National headquarters oe the legion is now bent on an active campaign in behalf of the invalided and wounded soldiers, he said, and the data that he and others are gathering from over the United States will be concentrated at an early date and pre- sented to the proper officials in Wash ington in an effort to gain the benefits and needs that the sick men deserve. Mir. Winslett and Mir. Updegraff were in Tucson last week, where they wit messed and participated in the demon stration by Tucson citizens in cessa- ton of all business for a day and de- votion of the time to a construction of hospitals for the sick men of that city. It was what MT. Winslett termed "the greatest demonstration ever made" for the sake of the men who served their country and are now suffering from the results of it.
 An interesting surprise accorded he three visitors to the Mesa post was the use of the ritualistic form here and the conducting of the posts busi- ness ceremony. They commended the members for their adoption of the work and spoke of it as another link in the making of the American Legion posts what they should be.
