Word has ben received that a re-
lease from active duty, where man
served in the navy, or an actual dis
charge from the navy. acts the same
exactly as an army discharge and
should be sent to the Red Cross for
forwarding to the authorities. In all
cases the discharges are returned to
the holder by registered mail and no
chance of loss is taken by the sender.
The committee urges that all ca
service men sent their discharges to
the Red Cross at the first possible
moment and begin now to plan to be
in Olympia on November II and to
take an active part in all the celebl a.

The uniform of the day will be the
same old o. D. for the army men, the

announced at the next meeting Of the
Legion on Wednesday, October -,

can possibly do so attend this meet

notify them as soon as possible.
The committees were greatly en-
couraged last week when the Masonic
lodge contributed the sum of $500 to
help with the building. 1t is under
stood other organizations will volun-
tarily help in one way or another.
The Elks discussed the matter at its
last meeting and voted their approval
and while they will probably not De
able to make a cash donation, it is
intimated that they will offer the
10000 feet of lumber used in the
construction of their open-air arena
last summer. High school students
also voiced their enthusiasm at last
Tuesdays assembly, and the commit
tee is counting on this body to help
most in the sale of tickets.
Altogether everything is progress
ing favorably and a building that will
be a credit to the city and fitting
memorial to the members OF the
American Legion is now assured.

SERVICE MEN no GET
GOVERNMENT POSITIONS

WASHINGTON D. c. Congress
SO amended the civil service regula-
lions at its last session as to insure
all ex-service men and women the
preference in the distribution Of thou
sands Of government positions. and
the American Legion. through its ma
tional legislative committee is seeing
to 1t that ex-soldiers get the jobs.
The amended regulations provide
that the ex-service person must be
given the preference where his stand
ing. is as good as anyone else's. and
may be selected for the position re-
gardless of his standing on the list,
just so long as he has passed the ex-
animation. The Legion's efforts to
bring about this liberal interpreta-
ton of the law in practice have not
been without result.

man in Southern state that he had
passed an examination for post
mastership and had not gotten the

claims himself a Legion member, yet
he has never once appeared at a
meeting Of the organization. He is a
typical obstructionist. He has never
exerted an ounce of power towards
the building up of this post, yet he
goes out of his way in an effort to
tear down what others are proudly
working for Perhaps something has
occurred which has peeved this com
rade." Perhaps he is honestly OPP
posed to the Auditorium idea. But
the place to talk is on the floor of an
American Legion Assembly. No
member has ever failed to receive
recognition there. and his voice and
opinion at that time carries just as
much weight as that of any other
member. AS it is, this backslider is
simply placing himself in ali unen-
viable light with all who hear him,
and is gaining nothing. His Buddies
are not likely to forget him and his
underhar ded actions

CESS IN FINANCING
STRUCTURE

The ways and means committee
Of the American Legion. which has
undertaken to finance the proposed
public auditorium. Is hard at work
and producing results. The commit
tee does not desire to ask for any out
right donations. but plans on raising
the money needed to put up the build
ing principally by the sale of tickets
which guarantee the holder value re-
ceived. There are two classes Of
'tickets-the IS ticket, admitting the
holder to the opening event which
will be presented Immediately upon
completion of the Auditorium; and
the SIS ticket. covering all Legion
public events for the season of 1921.
Ticket sellers, representing various
organizations, are now in the field
and are experiencing little difficulty
in disposing Of the pasteboards. One
young lady has already raised over
$500, and others are doing nearly as
we'll. Through the courtesy of the
Capital National and Olympia Ma
tiOnal banks and several Olympia
business houses. the committee is en-
abled to offer to it's workers about IS
valuable prizes, ranging from a bar
rel Of -four to $25 in ogld.
While the plans are not completed
for the building, Architect Wohleb,
who has donated his services free, is
working on them and actual work on
the structure will start about the
middle of October. 1t is hoped, if
possible, to have the grand opening
on New Years Eve. The building
will provide a large dancing floor, as
we'll as stage facilities and accommo-
dations for large conventions.
1t is hoped to secure large
amount of free labor when actual
construction starts. and already Lee
gion members and business men have
offered to donate from day to a
week at any sort of work they can
do. The building committee, COM
posed Of E. c. Dohm, NJ. L. McCully

GOV. HARRIS PROCLAMATION
URGES STATEWIDE CEI.E-
BRATlON ON ARMIST1CE
DAY

Armistice Day celebrations were
given big boost this week when
Gov. Hart issued a proclamation de-
claring November IL legal holiday
This means that stores and offices
will close and everyone will join with
the ex-service men in the observance
Of the day marking tn cessation of
hostilitis in the World War.
Gov. Hart has added new mean
ing to the date, however, by remind
ing citizens of Washington that Nov
II also marks admission day of this
state into the Union. For Legion
members, however. that part of the
proclamation dealing with the Cen
tralia massacre stands out most prom
inently. 1t was only year ago that
four Legion members were shot down
from ambush while marching in pa
rade in the neighboring city and Gov.
Hart is being warmly commended for
the stand he takes regarding this
affair.
The proclamation is as follows:
")1hereas. On the 18th day of No
vember. 1889. the territory of Wash
ington was by presidential proclama-
ton formally admitted into the Unite !
States, and,
Whereas. On the 18th day of No
vember. 1918, the armistice termi-
mating activities between the United
States and allied nations on one hand
and the central powers of Europe OR
the other. was signed, and,
Whereas, On the 18th day Of No
vember, 1919. while peacefully cele-
brating the first anniversary of the
signing of the armistice, four re-
turned rvice men we're shot from
ambush in the city of Centralia.
Therefore, I, Louis F.. Hart. act
ing governor of the state of Wash
ington, proclaim and declare Thurs
day. November II, 1920, as a legal
holiday, and on this day all public
offices will remain closed and people
will refrain from engaging in their
usual lines of activity; and all liberty
loving citizens will join in properly
celebrating the cessation of warfare,
and with appropriate patriotic and
historical exercises revive the inter-
SITS Of the people in constitutional
government in commemoration of
admission day. not forgetting to stop
their activities and exercises for a
moment to breathe silent prayer Of
sympathy for those bereft by the act
of dastardly criminals at Centralia."

the postmaster general. and brought
out the fact that, the postofflce depart
'ment had pretty good batting aver
age, having appointed to Office 80 per
cent of all ex-service men and women
who had taken and passed the civil
service examinations regardless Of
the standings they had made. The
Legion has also succeeded in securing
from the civil service commission
itself a ruling which practically es-
tablishes the regulation for all gov
eminent departments that ex-service
civil service are to be certified for

ARMISTICE DAY
PLANS ANNOUNCED
EX.SERVICE MEN WILL STAGE
BIG PARADE IN OLYMPIA
ON NOVEMBER 18th

An Armistice Day parade. with u
large percentage of the ex-service
men Of Thurston county marching, is
an assured fact at this time. The in
terest that the discharged soldiers
and sailors are taking in the days
celebration shows, beyond a doubt,
that the men who when in the service
expressed their dislike for all and
any parade will turn out willingly to
show their respect for their COM
rades who were murdered a year ago
at Centralia. The parade will be
staged with the idea of demonstra
ton Of the fact that the men who
wore the uniform a short time ago
are anxious to show their townsmen
that they are still well enough organ
lied. and above all willing, to take
any action that might be necessary to
quell any disturbance that may be
made by the unlawful element of the
country.
AC SOAAmittCc ia &c VI tIlS
parade, composed of Leland P. Brown
Enoch w. Anderson, and Merritt L.
McCully, has practically completed
the details for the days celebration
The victory medals, awarded by the
government to all men who took part
in the World War, will be presented
on November II and the address OF
presentation will be made by some
man who understands how to talk to
men in uniform.
Besides the parade, presentation OF
the medals and address. other pa
triotic exercises will be held and al
will be of a high character and will
be of interest to both the soldiers and
the civilians.
The tentative plans, as arranged by
the committee. call for the presenta
ton address to be made at II O'Clock
in the morning. the parade will b
staged both before and after the ad
dress.
