Legion Is Endeavoring to Find Man
Alleged to Have Helped Stacker
Reach Germany.

The American Legion is searching
for the man who is reported to have
aided Grover @. Bergdon. notorious
Stacker, in his escape from Canada to
Germany. according to Lemuel Bolles.
national adjutant Of the Legion. who
said that the Legion is especially con-
cerned in that BergdOll is alleged TO
have obtained his passport in Winni-
peg by using an American Legion but
ton and the army discharge papers of
u Legionnaire
Mr. BoIles has appealed 10 the De-
partment of Justice to ascertain the
facts in the case and proposes, if the
report Is true. to see thar the man
is apprehended, expelled from the Lee
gion and brought to n speedy trial.
Bergdoll has been the target of nu-
merOus attacks Of the American Lee
gion. When he escaped from prison
a reward of $500 was offered for his
capture and a number of Legion posts
in many parts of the country took
similar action to bring about his cap
ture. One post adopted resolutions
urging the President to demand the
release of the two Americans who tried
TO recover Rergdoll in Germany.

Bentley Post at Cincinnati Regarded
as Model for Systematic
Program for Work.

aided the post committee by stationing
a worker at the club rooms at all times

Visits to each Cincinnati hospital
where veterans are lodged are made
at least twice month by the hospital
entertainment committee, which notes
the general condition of the hospitals
and provides entertainments for the
patients.
The sick committee visits all ex-serv-
ice men in their homes as soon as the
cases are brought to the attention of
the post members.
A free employment bureau for all
veterans is operated at post headquar-
tiers by the employment committee.
The Women's Auxiliary of the post
has assumed a large share of the work
man of hospital work with sub-chair-
man for each hospital.
At the General hospital complete
dinner is set once q month Cigarettes,
candy, fruit and cakes are provided
weekly at all hospitals. as are maya
zines and books. At ROckhill the men
were supplied with piano and victrola,
a motion picture protector, knitting
pajamas, sweaters, caps,
socks and other comforts. The AuXil-
larry women have made sheets, pillows
and bed sacks for the patients Each
man is interviewed at each visit and
personal favOrS are executed whenever
possible.
For the benefit of those men who are
handicapped the Auxiliary

where disabled men are employed in
the manufacture of wicker bead and
mat work. The articles are marketed
by the women and the proceeds are
turned over no the veterans

what we know as "chattering."
We think of it in connection with

The chattering occurs in spite of the
