delphia that DR.. Edmund Won Mach,
notorious German propagandlst, was
planning to hold meeting In that
city, Legion members and other pa
triotlc citizens opposed the propcsl-

POST WINS ON GOLDEN CALF
Two. Headed Animal Aids In Raisino
Organizations Funds From
$500 to $500.

The Golden Calf of the Twentieth
century has been discovered by the
American Legion post at Fredericks-
burg, Va, which owes an increase in
its working capital from 500 to 81 800
to a two-headed Juvenile COW, in full
title to which the post invested its
scant 500 last fall,
Having induced Westmoreland
county farmer to part with the freak
animal for this sum, a special levy of
various small amounts was made
upon the treasury to buy nourishment
for the calf. Then came the Virginia
state fair in Richmond and the calf
was in full bloom, eating both his
heads off and waxing fat withal.
The Fredericksburg post put him
on exhibit, charging a suitable fee.
When the fair was over and the dust
had settled, the post treasury con
tanned S1.500-the accrued earnings of

Legion Men Among the Miners.

The activity of the American Legion
in the mining districts of southeast
Kansas is another pertinent proof
that the Misunderstanding between
labor bodies and the ex-service mems
organization has been disslpated. At
Scammon, Kan. the climax of the
eight-hour day celebration of the
miners In District IA, was reached in
a ball at the Legion hall, under the
auspices of Francis Ellison Post.

POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse Indignation Over

Dismal Failure.

THE Germanophile attempt to
arouse American Indignation over the

diplomatic between America and her
recent allies has failed of It's purpose
IN precisely the same way that Ger

In every one of the years between
1914 and 1918" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
THE truth is merely that the Ger
mans do not know how to 60 about
1t. 'Kultur' obviously does not include
any knowledge Of the fine art of get

tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The

no more subtle than the efforts of II
St. Bernard puppy to stand up on a

however, in its intent IL not in Its ap-
plication.
DIR, Won Mach has proved himself
a poor servant Of his country, wheth-
er he regards his country as America
or Germany. He Is poor American

served only to arouse America to the
fact that she is still at war with Ger
