elected national commander of the
American Legion on Sept. % last.
During the war he served in COM
mand of the First Ohio National
Guard at Camp Sherman, Chilli
Gothic. Subsequently he was trans
ferred TO the 141th Infantry and
embarked for overseas in June, 1918.
BY leading his regiment through the
lines of the German under fire he
won the title of The Fighting Col
onef of the Fighting First"
AS head of the American Legion
he has been active in behalf of the
organization in urging legislation
favorable to eX-Service men. His
public addresses have been marked
with forceful utterances against al
legged mistreatment of wounded SOL
diers, and in defence of the legion
1plan for their relief
In civilian life. Colonel Galbraith
was president of the Western Paper
Goods Company of Cincinnati. He
was Republican, but never active
ly engaged in politics, and was never
a candidate for public Office. In Gin
cinnati, however, he was active in
civic movements for more than 20
years.
AS a youth the legion head was "a
sailor. He once passed the en-
trance examination to Annapolis. but
never matriculated.
The birth in the United States ar
senal at Watertown of Fred w Gal
braith, Jr., may be said to have been
in keeping with his career through
life as a fighter. He attented gram
mar school until he was 10, and then
went with his father to San Diego.
Cal. here he obtained DIRK as q track
walker. A round house fight was the
nightly program of the track walk
ers in those days and the future col
onel gave good account of himself.
At the age of Is he made another
cross country jump to Springfield,
Mass. where at 10 he became fore
man of a factory. He studied to fit
himself for the naval academy and
passed the mental examinations but
was six months over the age limit.
Still resolved to be a trained seaman,
he entered the Massachusetts Maui
teal Training school, completed a
three years course in less than a
year and at IS was assigned to the
ship Enterprise and made a trip to
Japan. Later on another voyage to
Japan he risked his life in fighting
his way through oil flames to save Il
comrade who was asleep. From
that time he was known to officers
and crew as the battling third
mate"
After six years at sea he returned
to Springfield He went to work for
packing firm and "A year later was
made general superintendent. The
firm had been in the hands OF re-
ceivers and Galbraith who had been
especially assigned TO put the plant
on an efficient basis VS. credited by
the directors with having saved
100000 a year without decreasing

His creed as commander of the
American Legion was expressed in
an address at the City club here last
year in the words: "One America for
