American Legion News

Endorsement Of the American Le-
gion's program for relief to dis
ahled, which was adopted by the
investigating committee, named by
President Harling, was voted at the
regular session Of the Maine legisla-
ture. A memorial resolution was
passed requesting Congress to adopt
the Legion's legislative recommenda-
tions.
After it was announced that there
were 5000 former service men in
Los Angeles, Cal, out Of work and
that an average of 500 men apply
for employment to the American
Legion headquarters there daily, the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation Of that city decided that
it was time to act. A campaign of
relief has been started and the funds
will be administered by the chair
man of the American Legion Inter-
post Council.
Three to one is the score of the
legislative program Of the American
Legion in Iowa. The following Le-
gion measures passed: Bonus Bill,
providing fifty cents day, with a
maximum of $50, to be voted upon
at the general election in November
1922; Tax exemption of $500 for
veterans Of World War, 1880 for
Spanish American War veterans, and
$4,000 for those who fought in the
Civil War and veterans preference
on all political appointments, state,
county, city and schools, for both
World War and Spanish American
War fighters. A legion boxing bill
was passed in the House, but was
defeated in the Senate Of the Iowa
legislative body.
George Sylvester Viereck's boast
that he can control 100000 votes
in the interest of Germany has been
denied by letters from twelve leading
citizens of Teutonic extraction in
Louisville, KY, to the Jefferson
Post of the American Legion in that
city. The letters, together with a
resolution condemning Viereck as an
advocate of un-American principles,
have been made public by the Post.

Louisville Legionnaires will hold an
All-American meeting on Decora-

When the fire department dashed
down the main street and red flares
burned brightly in the stiffness of
the night the solid citizens of Apl-
pleton, Wis, rushed out of their
homes in alarm. What they discov-
cred was that the local post of the
American Legion was starting its
membership campaign. Bands began
to play and illuminated floats ap-
peared. Boy Scouts marched in a
parade with the Legion members.
The effect of the night attack was
so strong that 600 members were OBJ
tanned the next day.
Although he was arrested and con-
victed of misdomeanor, a twenty
year-old wounded veteran of the
World War is to receive through the
offices of the American Legion of
Detroit, Mich, an education as an
electrical engineer. The boy had en-
listed at the age of seventeen and
was twice wounded during the st.
Mihiel drive. He had always wanted
an education, he told the judge, but
was compelled to leave school when
he was six years old because of the
separation of his parents. The judge
placed him on probation to a repre-
sentative Of the Legion, who is ar
ranging for the youth to enroll in
an engineering course under the gov
ernment provisions for vocational
training of wounded veterans.
When the government salvage de-
pot employment office at Toledo, o.,
failed to employ reasonable num-
Der of ex-service men, the Lucas
County Council of the American Le-
gian investigated the situation and
obtained promise of adjustment
from the captain in charge Of the
depot The Legion's investigation
showed that, out of 261 employed,
81 were ex-service men, 80 were in
eligible at the time of war, and la
had never been in the service.
