BY William r. PooIey

National Commander Galbraith, at
last Tuesdays session of the national
executive committee, called attention to
the fact that membership in the Ameri-
can Legion automatically ceases for nom
payment of dues prior to March l, 1921,
rms IS the third year of our organiza-
ton and in many respects will be the
most important in its history.
The national executive committee, fol-
lowing the dictates of the Cleveland
convention, has adopted a definite ma
tional policy, and while we have in no
respect deviated from our position on
the question of adjusted compensation
our first duty is to our disabled COM
rades. The American Legion early re-
allied this and dedicated itself to the
care and rehabilitation of our comrades
who were less fortunate than ourselves
and we have thereby endeared ourselves
In the hearts of the people of our entire
country.
To carry on its various worthy activi-
ties the national body depends solely
on the payment of dues by its members.
Renewals are coming in at the rate of
20,000 day and we are adding thou
sands of new members, but dues are
payable on January l and we should
acquire the habit of paying in advance,
doing away with the dilatory practice
OF remltting any time from January to
July.
The Department of New York should
and will maintain its lead, and I ear
nestly urge upon our members early con-
slderation for this important matter, so
that we may successfully carry on the
good work we have undertaken.

New York Veterans
Lose Their Battle
For Wars Insane
U. S. Senate Defeats 3,OOO,-
600 Appropriation for
Hospital for the Mentally
Disabled Ex-Service Men

Defeat by the United States Senate
during the past week of the Wadsworth
amendment Of the sundry civil bill,
providing for the erection Of $3,000,-
600 hospital in the New York Depart
ment, for the housing Of insane vet
erans of this state, was a crushing
blow to the Legion leaders, who have
worked increasingly to put this program
into execution.
Under the project New York State
was to have advanced the S3,000,000
and immediately begun work on the
hospital at Creedmoor, Queens County,
The government was to have paid the
state at the rate of 100000 for ten
years.
The day before the Senate rejected
the plan the House passed the provision
unanimously and Legion leaders be-
lieved it would meet with the approval
Of the Senate. The Senator'S objected,
however, on the ground that the hos
p1tal was to be occupied exclusively
by New York State veterans and that
such an institution might establish
bad precedent-that other states might
demand similar facilities.
The state commission which has this
plan under it's supervision was composed
of State Architect Pitcher, Attorney
General Newton, Comptroller Wendell,
Hugh Frayne, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and DR.. Thomas w.
Salmon.
Legion leaders who appeared on Janu-
ary 20 last in the office of the State
Architect and made an appeal for early
action on the hospital bill were Cor
nelius w. Wickersham, State Vice-Com-
mander William F. Deegan, Hugh w.
Robertson, assistant to Commander
Blakeslee; Lorillard Spencer, Francis l..
Robbins and Parkhurst Whitney.
1t was brought out at that time by
Mr.. Wickersham that, while disabled men
could be rehabilitated in some way, the
insane were hopelessly disabled and
could never be restored.
"Ee is practically dead" he said, "and
we must not allow the government to
forget its duty to endeavor to the utmost
either to cure him CIR to make his con-
dition during this terrible illness az
pleasant as possible"
New-York tribune., 1921-02-13
By James F. Gallivan
Chairman, 7th District

The major efforts OF the American
Legion up to date have been devoted
toward organization and beneficial
legislation for the disabled. In three
years at the most the Legion will
reach it's potentiality in membership
and will have secured the passage of
all legislation which it is now spon-
soring. This will leave more time ia
devote its force to measures for civic
betterment. 1t will take the lead N
each community in patriotic and memo
rial functions. Each city or town will
have, memorial building which will
be the center of civic life.
Already in the 7th District a
post in Canandaigua has undertaken
the raising of the entire quota for the
Near East Relief. This, is only one of
the ways in which the power Of the
Legion will be exertsd. In each com
munity there will be funds to aid
worthy disabled or INDECENT ex-service
men, and these will be administered bv
the American Legion.
Our disqualification and Americaniza-
ton work also will keep US busy. The
one dominant thing that will be ac-
complished, to my mind, is establish,
ing the fact that the Legion in each
city or village will be reminder to
all radicals or revolutionists that law
and order must and will be main
tanned.

can never forget the summary action
taken by their national commander, F.
w. Galbraith jr., in his handling of one
Edmund Otto Won Mach, former lieu
tenant in the German army, when the
latter tried to use the American Legion
as party to protest against the
military program adopted by France.
Won Mach sent his card to Comman-
der Galbraith while the Legion execu-
tive was presiding at meeting Of tho
national executive committee, and an
engagement was made for later in the
day. Won Mach went to Commander Gal
braith's rooms in the Washington Hotel
and conference which ended disagree
ably for the visitor ensued.
The former German army officer
asked Galbraith to be the principal
speaker at mass meeting in Madison
Square Garden on Feb. 2S, at which
a formal protest would be made against
the retention of Moroccan and Algerian
troops in the French army of occupation
in Germany. Galbraith asked him:
Due to the fact that we ARG still
at war with Germany, do you not think
that such activity by US might have a
bad effect ?"
'. "lt might cause break between the
United States and France" WAS the re-
ply by Won Mach, "but as the matter
has been introduced before the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate and
hearings will be held when l am ready.

your protest will properly represent
the spirit of America toward France.

reply; Ply, -. , : ;, =,

Again Won Mach replied:

Commander Galbraith rose from his
chair and stood over his visitor.

told him. "The American Legion will
never permit itself to be used by such
as you'll" 'N~''
Won Mach reached for his hat and
coat and beat hasty retreat. Gal
braith. followed him to the door. and
throwing it open, ordered him to "Get
out, and get quick!" with the following
parting shot:

Civil Service Bill
Support Is Asked
BY State Official
Chairman Aronowitz of the
Legislative Committee
Warns Against Organized
Opposition Developing

An appeal to all Legionaires to cam
paign untiringly to bring about the
passage of the Martin Baumes resolu-
tion providing for amendment to the
State Constitution giving civil service
preferment to all veterans is made in
6 bulletin issued by Samuel E. Arono-
witz, chairman of the state legislative
committee. 1t follows:
The Martin -Raumes resolution pro-
vldlng for amendment to the State Con-
stltutlon so that veterans of all wars
Will receive preference in civil service
examinations is now being discussed by
the Senate and Assembly judiciary
committees.
Tremendous opposition has arisen
TO the measure from those now hold
ing civil service positions who were
not in service and from the same class
OF people who opposed the bonus and
other measures advocated by the
Legion. The Senators and Assembly
men are being flooded by letters and
resolutions inspired by the opposition
In an effort to make it appear that a
very great majority Of the citizens are
opposed to the measure.
This action must be counteracted
at once. Every county organization
and post should send letters to its
Senator'S and Assemblymen urging the
Passage of this resolution so that the
people might have a chance to vote
upon it this fall. Individual members
OF the Legion should also write to
their representatives at Albany. State
ments have been made that all mayors
and city officials are opposed to this
measure. Wherever possible letters
should be secured from mayors and city
officials favorable to the measure.
"All replies received by individuals
or posts relative to the attitude of the
various legislators on this proposition
should be forwarded TO Samuel e.
Aronowitz, Chairman State Legislative
Committee, 36 State Street, Albany.
Immediate action is necessary.
Write your Senator'S and Assembly
men to-day. If this measure does not
pass 1t will be deferred for two years
more. Let the people have the right
to make their decision on this i'm
rortant question"

State Auxiliary Units
Show Great Increase
Chairman Ray c. Sawyer Re.
ports 1873 Organized and
Other Applications Pending

Women's auxiliary members in the
New York Department OF the Legion
are awaiting with much interest the call
Of the State Commander to department.
caucus so that statewide exchange of
views may be had for the betterment Of
their organization.
At last reports from Miss Ray C.
Sawyer, executive secretary Of the de-
partment, and chairman Of the State
Auxiliaries Committee, there were 1873
chartered auxiliaries and many addition
al applications pending. Two Of the
latest auxiliaries to be formed are those
of the Seaman Horwig Post, Of the
Bronx, making the fifteenth auxiliary
for that county, and the Richard J. Nc
Naily Post, of Manhattan.
Members of the Legion are beginning
to realize the value of the auxiliary in
the matter of obtaining new members
roliments in those posts having auxil-
iaries are responsible for their anxiety
to promote these units.
AN example of the enthusiasm with
which the women folk have entered into
the spirit of the Legion was found last
week at meeting Of representatives of
auxiliaries in Bronx County. Speakers
were Miss Sawyer, State Command
er William F. Deegan, Daniel Sullivan
and Walter Hamilton, chairman of the
Bronx welfare committee.
The auxiliary delegates passed several
resolutions during the meeting, one Of
the most important of which was that
providing for the creation Of an auxil-
iary welfare committee, composed of
member from each auxiliary, to minister
to the needs of dependent families Of
disabled men.
1t is believed state caucus Of women
will be called early in the summer. pos
sibly in June.
The Michael Spitelnik Post, BROOKLYN.
has organized an auxiliary with the fol-
lowing officers: President, Mrs. Eugenie
Phillips; vice-presidents, Frieda Spitel-
mix, Mrs. May Goldfarb and Mildred ]
Meyers; secretaries, Hannah Smolen and
Sadye Ginsburg; treasurer, Florence
Ginsburg; delegate, Dorothy Leibowitz.
