The service men have not had
justice. They won't get justice un-
til they fight for it. They can't fight
for it until they organize. The Am
erican Legion is. in our judgment,
not perfect, but IL has as much a lead
among service mems organizations
as the Nonpartisan League among
farmers political organizations and
the U. S. Grain Growers among
farmers economic organizations. It
is every service mans duty, both to
his country and to his jobless bud
dies, TO get into the Legion and make
that an effective instrument to end
the intolerable wrong that exists to-
day among the jobless men who Of
fered their lives for democracy in

Press Comment on the
American Legion

Fuller and deeper study in schools
Of American government and Ameri-
can history will form a part OF the
program OF the American Legion.
The Legion leaders know that there
is probably more study OF national
history and civics in the schools to-
day than there ever has BEEN before.
But 10 urge more and more IS 10 in
sure heartfelt Amerlcanism. more
unshakable loyalty. more fortifica-
ton OF our institutions against alien
propaganda, either radical or auto
cratic.-Detroit CMich.) Journal.
Our Socialist neighbors find delight
in slurring the members Of the Am
erican Legion, collectively or other
wise. OF course. this altitude IS un-
doubtedly prompted by the rather
strenuous exception taken TO various
radical activities on a few occasions
by some men in the veterans or
ganization. But the thing 10 be won
dered at is what the Socialists hope
to gain by calling names. These
Legionnaires stand high in the re-
gard OF a great majority OF the peo-
pie. They are men who have been
tried and not found wanting. They
accepted the letter Of the law TO meet
a great emergency, whether they
thought that law was good or other
wise. Finally, they are the sons and
brothers OF the masses Of the peo-
pie whose opinions count. Asper-
sions cast upon these Legion men
are bound to arouse resentment and
may provoke trouble.-Hoboker On.

 BURNED; I3 KILLED

 Among Victims

Hoboken. N. J.. Jan. s1.-The death list resulting from the fire which destroyed the Hotel Colonial here today totalled 1s, seven women and six men.
 The thirteenth victim, Miss Blanche kahler, 3S, of Jersey City, died today In hospital here. Two men, badly burned. are in the hospital where it was said their condition is serious.
 TWO investigations were under way today. Fire department officials started an inquiry to determine the cause while the police department, ir- vestigated the manner in which the hotel was conducted. Charges of Fire Chief Gilday of Hoboken that whiskey bottles were found in some of tho rooms caused the second inquiry
 The bodies of five of the victims. three women and two men, remained unidentified this morning. Scores of friends of missing persons from New York and places throughout this sec tion visited the morgues today in eff forts to identify them. The bodies were so badly charred from the flames. however. that hope of identi- fication rested mainly on the few pieces of clothing and jewclry found in the debris.
 Later the list of unidentified victims was reduced to four when one body at the morgue was recognized as that of Irene Woertz. 25, of Irvington, N J., by Joseph Smith, a friend.

MAD EMPRESS
 WELCOMES DEATH
Charlotte, Wife of Ferdinand
 Maximilian, Has Influenza
(N. E. A. Staff Specially

Brussels, Jan. 3I.-A visitor that Empress Charlotte has awaited S4 years is riding swiftly to her chateau at Bouchot. The visitor is Death.
 Charlotte is S1 and feeble. She is i'll of influenza
 Wife of Ferdinand Maximinan, em- peror of Mexico. she Is the only em- press North America ever had. Ever since her royal husband was executed at Mexico City. June 1s. 1867. she has been berefit of reason.
 It was in 1857 that Maximilian brother of Francis Joseph. the late war emperor of Austria, arrived in Belgium after sailing the seven sens.
 Royal Romance
 The Hapsburg was 25. tail, of com manding figure.
 Charlotte. daughter Of King Leopold I. was IT. She. too. was tall. Her face was oval. her checks rosy. Her mouth was pretty. her lips ruby red. Her eyes small and sparkling.
 But Charlotte was a royal shut-in. Her mother allowed her to attend only four. balls a winter. Then she could waltz only with her brothers.
 Shc was Il student and a weaver of dreams.
 When Maximilian came romance arrived. It was love at first sight.
 Happiness Complete
 After the wedding they went to Milan and the island of Madeira and to Trieste. Maximilian was governor general of Italian provinces.
 Charlotte was beloved by the people. Life was without worry or care.
 The Maximilian grasped the oppor- tunity of becoming ruler of Mexico. Wherever Maximilian and Charlotte went in their new American domain flowers were strewn at their feet.
 The empress was hailed as ''The beautiful and lovable Carlota!"
 But Mexico soon wearied of Max imilian. as 1t has of many other rulers since. His rule and his life were threatened.
 Charlotte went to Europe to plead with Napoleon III for finances and the keeping Of French soldiers in Mexico.
 She knew that Is she failed Max imilian was ruined.
 Napoleon refused to promise sup port.
 Crushed. Charlotte started for Italy. Then came the first indication of mental breakdown.
 Her Mind Breaks
 She would eat no food unless it was prepared in her presence.
 They'll poisoa me" she cried over and over.
 In Rome she remained all night at the Vatican. saying she was afraid to leave.
 A mental specialist took her to the Palace oI Tervueren in Belgium. The
  Wales tried to reassure her.
 Meanwhile Maximilian was seized by revolutionists and shot by a firing squad.
 News of the emperor's death was kept from his wife. but somehow she divined the worst, and became raving mad.
 Years later. in one of her rare lucid intervals, she was told of his end. Thousands of times since then she has called for Death.
