Men who accepted officers commits
sioners for the world war only and
who were wounded or disabled should
be retired with pension the same as
are officers of the regular army, the
American Legion's national legislative
committee declared last week in pray
ing Secretary of Val Weeks to ex-
tend the privilege to them. The Sc
lective service law and an opinion of
the army's judge advocate were icted
as justifying the claim.

No mystery surrounds the shooting
in Nashville, Tenn, last week of Carl
Peters, world war veteran. He refus-
ed to take a drink. Carrying out his
American Legion injunction of claw
and ORDER, Peters when accosted on
the street late at night by a hospita-
BILE bootlegger, politely declined a
proffered draught of white whiskey.
The h. b. insisted and when Peters
still refused, the former drew a pistol
and fired. The ex-soldier went to the
hospital with a bullet in his leg and
the moonshine merchant went to Jail.

Representation of the American
commission to the international dis

at least one soldier of the world war
was asked of President Harding last
week by the American Legion's ma
tional legislative committee at Wash
ington. "There is no group in the
nation that knows as much about wal
and has as vital an interest in the
problem of var and peace as the ex'
service men of the country" the Lee
gion declared. The committee also
urged Secretary Hoover to give the
Legion representation on behalf of
service men in the unemployment con-
ference soon to be held.
During the celebration of ('Buddy

the American Legion post of Wichita,
