CASH BONUS PLAN FAVORED
Referendum Laws Adopted by New
York, New Jersey, Washington
and South Dakota.

Four more states adopted referen-
DUN laws providing for the payment
of a cash bonus to veterans of the
World war at the elections on Novem-
Der 2, following well organized cam
paign by American Legion posts and
various civic organizations. The states
were: New York, $40 a month, $3.50
maximum; New Jersey, $40 month,
500 maximum; Washington, $50 a
month for service up to November IL,
1919, and South Dakota, SIS a month.
Twelve states, which supplied 1,00O,-
600 men to the army, have now grant
ed the cash compensation. In addi-
tion to the four named above, the cash
bonus states are: Massachusetts, 500,
plus $40 month to January 10, 1918 !;
Vermont, $40 month, maximum Of
IL months; New Hampshire, 500 ;
Minnesota, SIS month, maximum of
500; Wisconsin, $40 a month, mini
mum of $780, Rhode Island, 500 /;
North Dakota, $25 a month, and
Maine, 500.
In New York the bonus rode to vic
tory by a majority of more than a
million; the vote in Washington was
three to one in its favor, while in New
Jersey and South Dakota the Legion
naires were successful by large mar
gins.
National officials Of the Legion con-
tend that the bonus referendums show
conclusively that the people of the
, United States favor compensation for
ex-service men and they propose to re-
double their efforts to obtain the pas
sage Of the Legion's fourfold nation
al bonus law in the next congress.

PARIS POST IS EFFECTIVE
Organization in French Capital Has 1877
Veterans Of the A. {. +. on
Membership Rolls.

Over in France where the men who
make up the American Legion fought
and suffered and In the very city
where in the winter of 1919 the Amer
lean Legion was born, there is carry
ing on today large representative
post of the organization. With 1877
veterans of the A. E. F. on its men,
bership rolls and the entire second
floor of a handsome building for it's
headquarters the Paris post today is
making its influence felt In caring for
the needs Of its members and all for
mer service men.
One of the chief benefits rendered
by the Paris post has been in the way
of obtaining employment for honora-
bly, discharged service men seeking
work in the capital. More than 100
men were placed in positions during
the first seven weeks of the posts
service bureau operations. Helping
men to return home when their funds
are insufficient is another phase of the
work that is bringing relief to many.
The post. which is located in the
building of the American Library as
ISOLATION, at 10 Rue de l'Elysee. has a
fourishing women's auxiliary of some
fifty members with applications COM
ing in all the time. In addition TO
serving the American veteran. the
Paris post is striving to strengthen the
bend between France and America
through the younger generation of
Paris by offering yearly prizes for the
best essay written by any boy or girl
In Paris lycee on a subject which
connects the history Of France and
America.

ENDOWMENT FUND PLANNED
Paris (Franee) Post Begins Drive to
Raise Large Sum to Aid Ex-
Service Men.

The Paris (France) post of the
American Legion has started a drive
FOR five million-franc endowment
fund with which to meet the demand
made upon it daily by ex-service men
who are stranded, and by their famil-
es. The Paris post has been kept
busy helping former vets who were
sick, Strengthening out legal tangles,
securing employment and helping the
stranded to get passage home.
The Paris post is obviously barred
from utilizing the usual method of
raising funds by entertainment for the
community, and has been forced to ap-
peal to the outside. The American
embassy and the consulate seni-ofi-
:ially recognize the posts work by re-
ferring hundreds of cases to its Off

killed defending Verdun from the

the Americans have gone home and
Denise and her invalid mother, her lit

already have followed the suggestion

TO CHEER DISABLED HEROES
All Legion Posts to Join in Campaign
to Aid World War Men In
Hospitals.

More than 100000 men In almost
10000 American Legion posts in all
parts Of the United States and its pos
sessions have been enlisted In q cam
paign to make life more worth living
to some 20,00O sick and disabled
heroes of the World war who still are
patients In government and private
hospitals and to humanize all activi-
ties that enter into their care and
treatment. Government bureaus at
Washington have supplied the Legion
with lists of these hospitals, about
1000 in number, and the number of
ex-service men who are patients In
zach. The country has been districted
according to Legion membership and
each of the five national vice COM
manders of the Legion has been as
signed to supervise the work of Lee
gion posts, committees and individuals
In various states. A plan to take 9
rensus of all ex-service men, especial
ly those still in hospitals, and straight
en- out their compensation and insur-
ance claims, is included in the general
program. The full weight Of the wom-
ems auxiliary of the Legion will also
be thrown behind the movement and
the assistance of all loyal Americans
is being asked for and gladly accepted.
"These men in hospitals are our
first concern" r. w. Galbraith, Jr.,
national commander of the Legion,
said recently, "and the situation with
regard to them is far from satisfac-
tory. They are coming to believe, and
justly to a large extent, that their
country has forgotten them. Their
greatest need is friendly handclasp.
cheerful smile and an unqualified and
oft-repeated demonstration that we
have not forgotten them and will
never forget them while God gives us
strength to stand four-square with
and behind them so long as they need
our help. It's not our. job alone-it's
everybody's job-but it's just a little
closer to the hearts of men and wom-
en- of the Legion"
The Legion takes the position that
the MANNED World war heroes repre-
sent Americas fundamental obligation
and that the Legion, backed by the
full weight Of sound public opinion,
can make conditions with regard to
them as nearly perfect as human
agencies will permit
