LONDON, England. January 30
Deeply impressed by what he conceives
to be the importance Of the Amer
lean Legion, John st. Leo Strachey,
the famous editor of the Spectator.
devoted long leading article in that
journal to advocating a British legion
on practically identical lines with
those Of the American organization.
Commenting on the preamble to the
American Legion's constitution, he
says:
This organization appears destined
to accomplish very great things in
the republic. If the members of the
legion remain true to their princi-
Piles they may save the United States
by their action, and like England of
old, save the world by their example.
At any rate, this example, which is
not the first we have had from the
new England beyond the Atlantic,
may save us from the crimes and
miseries of that form of violent mi
nority rule which for want OF
better word we now call revolution.
such a legion with difference or
two is what we want here. We need
an organization with similar aims.

bind the best men and women of Eng

and furtive friends, with some haZaru,

steps to be taken in effecting such an

tied by the Davenport Democrat as
nntting pep and life into the U. G. II.
Invention. The band made ire
nendous hit at the big joint session
his week at Davenport and went
even bigger than it did last year at
the big convention of travelling men.
Under the direction of w. H. Bower
and management of l.. j. Wolf, the
hand is making a name for itself all
over the state of iowa and in adJoin-
ing states.
The Democrat says:
.The Keokull Concert band, styled
the premier musical organization of
Iowa arrived in Davenport from the
nam city at 2 o'clock this morning.
They were so full Of pep that they
marched around to each of the hotels
and made the night merry before
turning in at an early hour this
morning The guests enjoyed 1t so
immensely that numerous encores
were demanded. Certainly they did
not begrudge the loss of sleep. The
Keokuk bunch is recognized as one
Of the liveliest councils in Iowa, and
if they all show as much class as
their band, Davenport is for EN-
good and plenty
The Democrat carries a t've-c,N
umn cut of the band and generally
gives the impression that the band
and the Keokuk delegation were two
mighty live outfits from Keokuk at
the big meeting this week.
