LEGION MEN WANT P. M. FRET
Lincoln (Neb.) Post Takes Exceptions
to Government officials Demand
for Use of German.

A resolution requesting the govern
ment to relieve Henry G. farms, post
master of Emerald, Neb., from his of
fee was passed by Lincoln (Neb.)
Post No. 8 of the American Legion, as
result of the postmaster's efforts to
supplant the American language by
the German language in a church of
Emerald.
The trouble started when the pastor
of the church invited two Legion MEM
bers to deliver patriotic addresses in
the church. When the speakers APP
peared, farms objected to their pres
ence and called for vote of the con-
gregation to decide whether they
should be Ousted. 1t was the will of
the majority that the Legionnaires
should not be heard. After the vote,
the Legion members quietly left the
church.
The pastor whose invitation to the
Legion men was made in an endeavor
to conciliate the pro-German and
American elements of his church in
lIlelr Controversy ONtT Illc use VI TIC
American or German language, then
took the floor and expressed his sur
prise at the turn of events and left
the meeting.
In commentator of the patience of
the American Legion members Lin
coin newspaper expresses the follow
ing sentiment in its editorial col
umns
"The policy Of the Legion to send
speakers to address meetings on in
vttation only and to teach American
ism by example rather than by force,
has everything to commend it. The
small groups of unassimilated fo~
eigners in this country can readily be
curdled into compact masses by hate.
On the other hand, they can be dis
solved in time by patience and friend
ship. The American Legion is honor
ing the name 1t bears when it adopts
the latter course"
