TO HOLD R0-GERMAN MEETS
Sessions Alleged for Purpose Of Pro-
testing Against Negro Troops In
French Army of Occupation.

PrO-German meetings planned for
the near future in a number of cit
les in the East and Middle West will
be closely watched by the American
Legion, according to national head
quarters of the ex-seryice mems or
ganization. The series of meetings,
it is understood, will be held for the
purpose of protesting against the re-
ported presence OF negro colonial
troops in the French army Of occu-
patton, despite the fact that the troops
in question were withdrawn many
months ago.
Cities In which the meetings are
scheduled are Milwaukee, Omaha.
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louisville,
Chicago, Cleveland and new York. II
Is understood that Dr.. Edmund Won
Mach, who was rebuffed at Washing
ton, d. c., in an effort to enlist the
aid of F. w. Galbraith, Jr., Legion ma
tional commander, in the project, and
George Sylvester Vierlck, notorious
Boche magazine editor, are among the
hyphenated Americans who are spon-
soriug the movement.
A bulletin from Legion national
headquarters, warning state head
quarters to watch for an attempt To
revive German propaganda and to ere
ate sentiment In America hostile TO
the allies, has been sent out. and
steps have been taken by national Off
Gals to influence the Department Of
Justice to prohibit the meetings,
"A recurrence Of German nrono.
sanda activity in this country is some
thing the Legion has been watching

to a movement of this kind will como
from citizens Of Teutonic extraction
Of whose loyalty and sincerity there
can be no doubt. Loyal Americans

turn sentiment in favor of the nation
with which technically we are still at

LEGION MEN HIT BY RULING

A decision of far-reachng iinpor.
lance as affecting the participation in
politics of men holding Office in the
American Legion has just been hand

tional Judge advocate of the Legion, in
response to an inquiry from the Inter

At its annual election held in De-

Claiming Toilette as commander for
1921 A short time afterwards Fol-
lette was appointed justice of the
peace by the board of supervisors Of
Los Angeles county.
The question arose whether, In view
Of the fact that Toilette had been up
pointed to an office which, in its ma
ture, except in the matter Of filling
vacancies. is an elective. salaried pub
lie office, he was eligible to serve as
an officer of the Legion.
In his official ruling, the national
judge advocate says:
'Thls being a salaried, elective pub
lie office, 1t Is my opinion that the
method of filling a vacancy is not es-
sential in determining the eligibility
of Legionaire holding such office.
The office is elective, although the case
with which we deal Is that Of an APP
pointment.
"The purpose of the constitutional
provision is, of course, to prevent, so
far as possible, the use by member
of the Legion Of his Legion member
ship in furthering a political career.
Consequently, the effect of an APP
pointment Is In no wise dlssimilar
from an election, and it Is my opinion
that the incumbent is, by the accept
ance of his Office, rendered ineligible
for the office of the American Legion

members, appointed to political offices

GOVERNOR NEFF AIDS LEGION
Chief Executive of Texas Urges All
Elgibles to Become Members
of the Organization.

Governor Pat Neff Of Texas has rec
sgnlzed the importance of the Ameri-
can Legion's effort to extend its in
fluence in that state by giving an I'M
qualified endorsement of the member
ship campaign now under way.
Officials of the department of
Texas, American Legion, the organiza-
ton which stands as a living perpetu-
alton of the spirit of the American
soldier during the World war, are now
making an especial effort to draw
more ex-service men into their ranks"
said Governor Neff.
'The record set by the men who
form the department Of Texas, during
that period preceding November ii.
1918, and the principles advocated oy
these men since they have welded
themselves into the American Legion
he continued, "leads me to suggest that
the public would be serving its own
ends, as well as those of the American
Legion, by lending active support to
the membership campaign the latter
has launched. The former service
man who has not affiliated with the
American Legion should need no one
to point out the advantage to be ie-
rived by him and his country through
his support of this organization; but
in the rush of modern life, some things
are overlooked and those who have not

Although the principal effort Of the
