more posts that 1t had January
1920, according to official records al
National Headquarters here. In even
greater ratio was the gain of the
Women's Auxiliary, which started the
year with fifty units and 5000 mem
bers and finished with 1895 units and
a total of approximately 10000 mem
bers.
The annual increase in Legion posts
was characteristic of every state de-
partment and likewise in the over
seas departments where there is APP
parently small chance for expansion.
New posts were formed in the follow
foreign countries: Argentine Re-
public, ]; Belgium, /; Chile, / :;
China, l: Guatemala, 1; Japan, q;
Poland, 2; Samoa, 1 Santo Domingo,
J., and Peru, /.
Prospects for further growth of
both organizations are bright in that
membership campaigns stared with
the New Year in many states. The
six leading Legion departments, in re-
gard 70 membership, are: New York
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio and
Minnesota. The list of Auxiliary
units is headed by Massachusetts,
followed by Minnesota. Illinois and

An Interesting Case.

elphia-Believing that a vet
eran of the World war has a right to
return to his own country, George S.
Steward, chairman of the American
ism Commission in Philadelphia OF
the American Legion, will champion
the cause of Demertius Robos, twice
wounded lighting in France, who has
been refused admission to the United
States because of failure to pass the
llteracy test.
Robos, who is being detained at
Ellis island, was in Philadelphia when
he entered the service. He was a cor
poral in the 3l5th Infantry. On re-
covering from his wounds after the
armistice, Robos was honorably dis
charged and went to Albania to visit
his aged parents. 1t was when he at
tempted to return to his adopted
country that immigration authorities
denied him permission to enter.
If the government saw fit to draft
this man and send him to France,
where he was wounded he is entitled
to the privileges of citizenship in this
country, if there are no other reasons
for his detention, besides that given"
declared William G. Murdoch, state
adjutant of the Legion.

Seattle Legion STAGES Hotel
The Seattle American Legion Post
has rented a large hotel in that city
and are running 1T for the benefit OF
the many ex-sei vice men who are out
of employment and funds in that city.
They plan to give rooms and board
for reasonable length of time to
those ex-service men who cannot Sc
cure work Everything will be done
to get employment for them. This Is
the first case of this kind where the
American Legion has started such an
undertaking. We wish them the best
of success People seem to be ignor-
ant or Indifferent to the fact that
such condition exists in this coun-
try, so it is up to the ex-service men
to take care of the buddies who are
down and out.
In this connection The Spokane
American Legion is doing everything
possible to secure employment for
the ex-service men of that city. T'he
married men of course are given the
preference.
There are at this time over $500 900
men out of employment in the United
States. 1t is safe to estimate that
there is a bigger percentage of ex-
SSiNlCe men dillOHS lueSe THAN any
other group. These men were handi-
capped by coming back broke from
the army, and starting at the bottom
in every line of work. Many OF these
fellows haven't had a square deal.
Ex-Service men, the government isn't
doing anything to help them. Nobody
is, so let's pull together and help
these buddies get on their feet.
Ex-servlce men, you should take
your discharge paper or send it, to
the Recorder at the court house and
have it recorded on the county books.
Tomorrow you may have a fire or lose
1t and it Is gone, never to be regained.
In years to come you might need it TO
secure bonus, pension, aid, or as
record for the next war. If it is Oh
record 1t will be an easy matter to get |

same as the original. Tend to this |
