ton, and before the Minneapolis COR
vention he had succeeded in obtaining
from congress an incorporation of
the American Legion. In September
he was joined by the other members
of the Legislative committee provided
for by the convention.
Because of the pressure of his pri-
vate business, which is the reason for
Mr. Miller's retirement from this highly
important Legion post, he placed his
resignation in the hands of Mr.. Dol
Ter, the national commander, as early
as last spring. At that time, however
he was prevailed upon to remain at
his post until congress adjourned, be-
cause his committee was in the midst
of its fight for legislation for the dis
abled and for congressional considera-
ton of the four-fold optional plan Of
adjusted compensation.
John Thomas Taylor of Washington,
d. c., a member of the committee
since November, has been appointed
chairman to fill out Mr.. Miller's I'm"
expired term.
Although Mr.. Miller is only thirty.
three years old, he has an unusual
background Of army service and ex-
perience in public life. He enlisted in
the army as a private and came out
Of it a lieutenant colonel. Although
he had attended the first Plattsburg
school, he was unable to obtain admis-
sion to the first officers training camp
after war was declared because of a
physical handicap. He was a first
lieutenant before going overseas with
the One Hundred and Fourteenth in
fantry of the Twenty-Ninth division
with which he served in France. He
first became conspicuous in public life
as the youngest member Of the Sixty
Fourth congress, having been elected
at the age of twenty-seven. Before
that he had been secretary of the state
Of Delaware at twenty-six.

Three more French war orphans
have been taken under the Legion's
wing by contributions of SIS each
from two posts and an individual
member" of another, as listed above,
who asked that his name be withheld.
The anonymous donor, in his letter
transmitting check which will care
for one of the fatherless waits a year
under the Legion plan, says he would
be glad to have the privilege of being
an adopted father another year if nee
eSsary."
The New Jersey post forwarded its
contribution to the Legion's national
treasurer, Robert H. Tyndall, through
Thomas Goldingey, state adjutant, and
expresses no preference as to the sex
or age of it's prospective protege.
r. L. Jones, adjutant of the Mil
Uaukee post, writes:
"At the last meeting of the post,
the membership unanimously decided
to adopt little French orphan and
would prefer little girl I am in
structed to request Of you, If possible,
the little girls picture and also her
name and address in order that we
may keep in touch with her from time
to time.
Luckily, there is member of our
post who is able to read and write
French and therefore will have no
trouble in corresponding with the little
girl"
Advices from France are that 5000
children, the keenest sufferers in the
after-the-war distresses of the coun-
try, are threatened with actual want.
Many We're once the wards of A. e. f.
outfits.
Posts of the Legion, or individual
members or friends, may adopt a
French war orphan for at least one
year, contributing seventy-fve dollars
for the first years support. The mas
cots assigned will be either orphans or
the children of permanently disabled
French veterans.
All of the money contributed will go
to the child. The Red Cross bears all
expenses of administration.

DISARMAMENT;
SOVIET DEMAND
Reds Also Ask Closing OF Polish
War industries In Hard
Terms.
WARSAW MAY YET FALL
War Ridden City Likely To capituIate
Before Negotiations Are Com
pIeted Is Belief of British
Observers.

London-The Polish crisis is ap.
preaching it's climax. AS viewed In
London, Warsaw seems likely to fall
before the negotiations at Minsk be-
tween the Bolsheviki and Polish rep
resentatives are concluded.
Premier Lloyd Georges speech to
the House of Commons showed he is
still working for peaceful settlement
which he evidently is hopeful of Sc
curing.
Leo Kameneff, one of the Soviet
emissaries in London, has submitted
to the premier the Russian armistice2
terms and at the same time issued
them to the British press with the evil
dent object, it is said in some quarters
of strengthening the hands of the
British Labor party.
They are hard terms, demanding de
mobilization of the Polish army and
war industries and complete disarma-
ment, except for $4,000 men. Russia,
on the other other hand, undertakes to
withdraw her troops from the Polish
front, reduce her troops on the frontier
anu CLlI SIlpuloI-
ed by the British government, with
additional territorial concessions to
Poland in the Bialystok and Cholm
regions.
Mr.. Lloyd George in his pronounce
ment declared mo action would be
taken except to support the struggle
for Polish existence and indepen-
dence.''
He admitted the Polish attack on
Russia was unjustified and that the
Soviet government was entitled to de-
mand guarantees against a, repetition
of such an attack
The question has been asked by
some close observers whether the
terms outlined by NJ. Kameneff come
within the scope of guarantees against
a repetition of the attack or whether
they are of such nature in the
opinion of the Allies, to threaten the
independence and existence of Poland.

HOT ON BERGDOLL's TRAIL
Effort Will Be Made to Have Alleged
SIacker's Aero Pilots certifi-
cate Cancelled.

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, arch
Stacker and fugitive from justice for
whose apprehension rewards aggregat-
ing $5,056 have been offered, holds
pilot certificate No. 1859 in the Aero
Club of America and, representations
for its cancellation will be made at
once, it was announced at Legion ma
tional headquarters recently.
The first intimationS that Bergdoll
held a license in the club was con-
tanned in letter to Lemuel Boxes,
national adjutant of the Legion, from
Kenneth w. Haiti, member of Frank
Luke, Jr., post, American Legion, Of
Phoenix, AriZ.
Mr.. Bolles has written, in part, as
follows:
'I have no hesitancy in expressing
my conviction that, as soon as the
facts become public, there will be an
overwhelming sentiment among Legion
members and the public generally for
the cancellation Of Bergdoll's certifi-
cate with the least possible delay. Per-
sonally, consider his retention of the
certificate, under present circum-
stances, would constitute a grave in
suit to the memory Of our heroic avi-
ator comrades who gave their lives to
uphold the honor Of the flag which
Bergdoll and his kind would delight in
desecrating.
81 trust national headquarters will
be advised shortly Bergdolrs name has
been stricken from the rolls of your
estimable organization and that one
more substantial black mark has been
chalked up against this slacker's
name"

MILLER DID GOOD SERVICE
Chairman of National Legislative
Committee Who Has Resigned,
Proved Value to Legion.

The recently announced retirement
of Thomas w. Miller of Delaware, as
chairman of the National legislative
committee of the American Legion,
gives an opportunity of recounting the
efforts by which one individual has
done much to make the Legion what
it is today.
Mr.. Miller served as chairman Of
the committee for full year. It was
under his direction that such generous
results were obtained as the passage
OF the Sweet and Darrow bills for bet
terment of the condition of the dis
abled ex-service men, and such marked
progress was made in placing SO thor
oughly before congress the claims of
all ex-service men for just compensa-
ton. All during last summer and
autumn Mr.. Miller handled alone all
Legion legislative matters at Washing
