GALBRA|TH GLAD
SLACKERS ARE FREE
Legion Head Says Baker Now
Has Time to Look Out for
Real Vets.

Indignation among leaders OF the
American Legion over the action OF
Secretary OF War Newton d. Bak er
in releasing the last OF the men who
refused 70 serve the United States in
the war with Germany was voiced yes
terday by Commander F. w. Galbraith,
OF the Legion.
T am glad" said Galbraith, that
Secretary Baker has released these
men, / am glad that he completed the
job he started long ago of releasing
the men who refused the first duty
OF citizenship. who proved untrue to
American ideals and who outlawed
themselves forever in the estimation
OF all American patriots.
II am glad that he released these
men and got them off his mind for
they seemed to be his first considera-
ton. l hope now that all these
conscientious objectors have been re-
leased. Mr.. Baker will find time to
consider the cases of the men who
served their country, who went to
France to fight and who did not OBJ
ject to serving their country: men
who went A. w. o. L in France and
are serving long prison terms as the
result Of court-martial.
Let Mr.. Baker consider that in the
one case, men refused even to bear
arms and think what that would have
meant for the nation had every one
adopted that attitude. Let him then
consider that men who were willing
to fight are serving these long terms
as the result OF indiscretions that are
minor compared to the crime OF re-
fusing to fight. Let him give some
attention to these army men in
prison.
'He now has plenty Of time to do
so.'
The hospital committee OF the Amer
lean Legion met here to inquire into
reasons why Government red tape
tied up and denied aid to former SOL
diers and sailors.
