OUR AMERICAN LEGION.

AT the time OF the initial organization, when
statements were made predicting the nationwide
power OF the American Legion thousands OF the
former-men-at-arms were inclined TO look on the
forecast with lightness But the succeeding
months have demonstrated the wisdom OF the
statements, and from every section OF the United
States come added evidences OF the growing pow
er OF the Legion.
Tried in the fires OF the hell OF war. tested in
the crucible OF extreme suffering privatons and
hardships, daring TO cast their all upon the death
less altar OF service to their own fellow country
men and the inhabitants OF the civilized world
the Legionnaires have proven themselves in every
way fitted as citizens OF the greatest country OF
earth, able not only to goven their own actions.
but capable OF lending aid in the government OF
society as a whole
Already the political parties OF the Nation. the
various states and municipalities are taking due
cognizance OF the Legion. Those who offer for
places OF leadership want TO know the wishes OF
the Legion. before announcing their platforms OF
the great world war. None may gainsay the fact
that patriotic Americans constituting the forces in
the lines back OF the lines, on this side OF the
Atlantic rendered great service, but at the same
time. there is no division OF honors with the
"boys who Offered their all, and those who made
the supreme sacrifice"
In the light OF this recognized superior serv-
ice at the hands OF the Legonnaies, and those eli
gible TO membership in the American Legion
the weight OF this organization in the affairs and
policies of the country in every subdivision OF
government is not at all thing over which to
marvel
