Quentin Roosevelt Post, No. II, of
Washington is the latest American
Legion group to take a hand in the
Jack Dempsey discussion, having
voted last week to ask the national
executive committee, through the de-
partment commander. to Investigate
the action of Gordon Barbara Post
of Milwaukee, reported to have made
the pugilist an honorary member. If
it is found that Dempsey is not en-
titled to membership in the order the
post asks that he be expelled and the
charter of the Milwaukee post re-
voked.
An erroneous impression has gone
forth that the, American Legion has
officially opposed a match between
Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpen-
tier. the French champion. on the
ground that the American fighter
missed the biggest fight of all. The
fact is that the national organization
has taken no cogniZance of the con-
troversy. nor has any state depart
ment of the legion done so. In all
parts of the country American Legion
posts have passed resolutions uncom-
plimentary to the American pugilist.
and Dempsey in consequence asked
the national executive committee of
the American Legion to give him
committee, however. as it was not
thought a proper subject for the ma
tional organization to take up.
An American Legion post in Ell
Paso recently adopted a resolution
criticising Dempsey for not getting
into uniform during the war and
voted $25 out of the post funds to be
wagered on Carpenter in the event
the two men ever fought.
1t is improbable that the action
of the Milwaukee post will be per-
mitted to stand, as the 1egion's con-
stitution forbids the election of hon.
orary members and restricts member
ship to those who were in uniform.
Appointments of post representa-
tives on departmental committees

Henry Hayes of Stuart Walcott Post.

ArduouS work by the District OF
Columbia department executive COM
mittee of the American Legion in
framing the new constitution bore
fruit last Thursday night. when the
committees draft was adopted by
the special convention without one
material change. Without exception
every vote on matter of policy was
recorded in favor of the position
taken by the committee. particularly
when attempts were made to curtall
the power of the departmental COM
mander or his appointees.
The convention showed great una
nimity in the election of three de-
partmental vice commanders, the
choice being James a. Drain of Ma
tional Press Club Post, No. 20. first
vice commander; Alice Il. Harvey of
Jane 4. Delano Post, No. 6, second
vice commander. and Harry j. Davis
of Robley d. Evans Post No. 4, third
vice commander
So far as possible, the new con-
stitution follows that adopted at the
national convention of the legion in
Minneapolis last November. The most
heated discussion at the convention
developed over the question of wheth-
err delegates and alternates were
bound by rules adopted by dele
CATION caucus. An affirmative ruling
by Departmental Commander F.. Les

Gen. Pershing has accepted the invi-

usual significance, for the post was orig

forces, but when it was later decided
at the st. Louis caucus that no post
should be named in honor of living
man the name was changed to that of
the father Of his country.
