American Legion Notes

St. Paul, Mimi, July 21-P. L.
O'Toole assistant ABUNDANT of the
Minnesota department of the AMER
can Legion, announced today that
the quartermaster general of the
United States army, at Washington,
has notified Legion headquarters that
the government will provide head
stones for the graves of soldiers,
sailors, and marines which have not
been marked.
"Blanks are available at depart
ment headquarters of the American
Legion, which give full details re-
garding the headstones," said Mr..
Mr.. O'Toole. "Headstones must not
be requested for the grave on which
a private stone, or monument, has
been erected. The stones will be
furnished and delivered at govern
ment expense, provided the person
applying for the same, will agree to
promptly remove and set up the stone
at private expense.
my impression is that few persons
knew that headstones were available.
The announcement from Washington
came as consequence Of request
for information from Fergus Falls,
which was transmitted through the
Minnesota department of the Ameri-
can Legion. F..
"The blanks, furnished by the gov
eminent, ask for the name of the de-
ceased, his company, rank, regiment
organization or vessel, date of
death, name of cemetery, and place
where stone should be shipped"
Mr.. OToole also announced that
Legion headquarters has been in
formed by the war department that
it will furnish transportation from
Hoboken to their homes, to one rel
ative or friend of each soldier whose
body is being returned from abroad
for final interment. The war de-
partment will send an official con-

PLANTING WILD CELERY

The members of the Rod and Gun
Club have been engaged this week
in the planting of wild celery in Sank
Lake. A large amount of celery seed
has been received by the organization
and it is now being planted along
the shores of the lake in an effort
to make the place attractive to wild
ducks and geese this fall. Wild rice
grows in abundance along the lake
and this with the celery ought to
make duck hunting lively this sea-
son. A shipment of bass fry was al
so planted here by the club this week.

RELIEF MEASURES
FOR COMING YEAR
TOLD BY RED CROSS

TNOLLOW1NG exhaustive reports
from its various Commissions
to European countries, the
American Red Cross can de-
fine fairly well the foreign relief pro
gram for the ensuing year.
1t is now clear that in the rehabilita-
ton Of nations and countries devas-
tated by the war, the problem of vital.
ity and the building up of man-power
takes the first place in Red Cross act
iVities. Further, it is evident that the
feeding Of foreign peoples, as well as
general material relief is not a field
which can be assumed by the Red
Cross. There remains, however, the
problem of sickness and disease, and
particularly a diminished and weak
ened child population, which none, of
the countries of Eastern Europe is in
a position to meet with it's own re-
sources, but where the American Red
Cross Is in a position b. offer indis-
pensabLe aid and service.
Recognizing these facts, the Red
Cross effort in Europe during recent
months has been concentrated more
and more on establishing and extend.
ing through the countries of Eastern
Europe, as well as Siberia, a construc-
tive health service, looking not only
coward relief In the immediate situa.
ton but also toward the establishment
Of permanent health service built on
national foundations in each country
concerned.
The medical and surgical supplies Of
all kinds made available for use by
the Red Cross by a recent Act Of
Congress at once enable the Red Gross
to plan this effort in medical relief On
a broad, comprehensive and construc-
tive scale. The SIS, 900, 900 asked by
the Red Cross in the Third Roll Call,
November 2-11, will be devoted, there
fore, largely to the administration of
this program and making effective
the distribution of materials derived
from surplus Army supplies. The ma
terials for general relief to be admin
istered In addition to and in connection
with the above will be obtained large
ly from supplies now in the possession
of the Red Cross, or will be covered
by small expenditure where purchase
may prove necessary.
This program permits not only a
definition in scope Of the work to be
carried on, but a limitation in time,
presumably period of one year. At
the expiration of that time the work
Of the Red Cross abroad will have been
largely rounded out, and activities con-
centrated on a program of service to
Americans.

Young Women's Christian Association
stands as an instrument of service,
