LEGION RULED IN CLASS

| trustees who are uncertain regarding
how to dispose of them.
In hearing the case, the Ohio court
considered the aims md purposes and
general character Of all the veterans
organizations. Its decision was that
The American Legion was "in class
by itself" because of its all-inclusive
membership.
Several soldier organizations laid
claim to the fund but the Legion won
out on it's plea that it is the only one
to which all soldiers in the World
War are eligible.
The fund as originally raised
amounted to about 100000. 1t was to
have been used to provide comforts
and necessities for the men of the
Ohio divisions while they were in
France. The money was left in the
possession Of William Cooper Proctor
of Cincinnati as trustee, to be called
for when needed by General Glenn,
Commander Of the Eighty-third Divi-
sion. The money was never called
for. When with interest additions it
had reached the total Of $4,000, the
trustee filed his action in court, sug-
costing that the fund be turned over
to trustees to be administered by the
Legion.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1921-11-04

An Ohio court has decided that The
American Legion Is the "only all-in-
elusive military organization" and
therefore has designated the American
Legion of Ohio as the administrator
of trust fund Of $4,000 which had
been raised originally for the benefit
Of the soldiers of the Eighty-third and
Thirty-seventh Divisions.
The Ohio department Of the Legion
will advise and assist three trustees
appointed by the court who are
charged with administering the funds
tor the benefit of the sick and wound
ed and otherwise disabled soldiers Of
Ohio.
The Ohio decision is extremely i'm
portant as a precedent establishing
that the Legion is the only all-inclu-
sive and truly representative organiza-
ton of American World War veterans
and that 1t is entitled for this reason
to administer the residue of all war
funds.
This precedent is expected to enable
Legion departments in many States
and posts in many cities to obtain by
court action control Of funds raised
during the war to assist soldiers Of
States o. localities. Many such funds
remain in banks or In the hands Of

Legion TO Open Finest Hospital For Vets

For the relief of Michigan's tuber-
cular veterans, the American Legion
soon will throw open at Battle Creek
the finest hospital in the United
States exclusively devoted to former
soldiers.
The healthfulness Of it's surround
ings, it's site on a beautiful range of
hills, and the size and character of it's
buildings combine to give it this
prominent position. in the opinion Of
medical men who have examined it.
The institution will be known as
the Roosevelt American Legion Hos
pital. The buildings and site were
originally designed as a hosiery for
relatives of soldiers who came to visit
and as a place for entertaining the

FOCH TO DEDICATE NEW
HOSPITAL FOR VETERANS

Marshall Foch, who as general
issimo of the Allied Armies, was the
supreme officer over all American
boys, was chosen to dedicate the
American Legion hospital for tuber'
cular veterans at Battle Creek.
To pay this tribute to Michigan's
veterans, Marshall Foch rejected many
other pressing engagements, and az
ranged his American tour so that this
date could be kept beyond all doubt.
In urging upon him this course, the
American Legion reminded the dis
tinguished visitor that the Battle
Creek hospital is the first enterprise
of it's kind in the United States-a
hospital for veterans, conducted by
veterans.
A bronze tablet on the hospital will
attest to the historic occasion Of its
opening with the Legend:

ican Legion. Dedicated by Marshall
Foch."

For time, 1t was turned into a

Though the process OF paying the
state bonus has dragged over several
months, the state officials are handling
the matter efficiently, is the opinion
of Paul A. Martin, state commander
of the American Legion.
In a written statement to Legion
members, Martin urges them to recog-
ize the difficulties In paying out 80
large a sum as $30,000,000; and to
give help and encouragement rather
than unfriendly criticism.
The statement is particularly i'm
portant because of Martins ontstand-
ing vigor in pressing the just claims
of ex-service men.
In part, Martin says:
1.-THE state administration has been
faced with a tremendous task which,
in my belief, has been handled In
most efficient manner and with min
imum Of errors.
"Tbe fact that It has been able to

I'm the matter of securing help for
the handling of the work at hand 1t
was with satisfaction that 1t was
learned, and shown on the records,
that ex-service men were always given
the preference; that none were dis
charged except the absolute incom-
petent; and that no women were en-
ployed except where 1t was necessary
to secure expert typists to expedite
the payment of the bonus checks.
Former service men who have ap-
peared in person at the state capitol
to receive first hand payments of their
checks were treated with the utmost
courtesy, and in every case where 1t
was found that the need for the
money was pressing steps were taken
to speed up that check ahead of it's
regular order.
THE department commander be-
lieves that the governor, the auditor
general and the adjutant general are
deserving Of the greatest commenda-
ton for the manner in which the
bonus has been handled, and that the
time Is now here to praise them for
what they have done, rather than
criticize them for the few mistakes or
delays that might have appeared"

NEED MILLS TO MAKE PAPER
 DOWN SOUTH

Madison, Wis, July 1S.-Establish- ment of paper mills in the southern states is all that is needed to utilize much southern pine for the manufac- ture of book paper, the Forest Prod ucts Laboratory here announces. Its experiments are said to have deter mined that pulp paper made from one variety of pine is suitable for this purpose.
 Southern pine has often been sug- gested as a possible supply of mater iaI for pulp purposes, but experiment met with failure until the local labor atory, working with Ioblol1y pine successfully turned out book paper by the sulphate process
 Further experiments will be made here with other varieties of southern pine to determine whether they will be equally acceptable to the manu- facture of pulp.
 What work has been done with the other woods from the south-black and tupelo gum. swamp maple and other similar materiaTshows that they are all substantially as we'll suited for the purpose as the 1oblolly pine and the red gum, the engineers says.

CONDITIONS ARE
 BAD IN KEY

Warsaw, July 1s.-Condfttons in Kiev, in the Ukraine, are reported worse than at any time since the trouble of Russia began.
 Word reached Warsaw recently that the population o6 the city had dWin- dIed to something like 100000 per sons, whereas at the beginning of the war there were approximately 100000 inhabitants.
 Travellers who have crossed the frontier within the last few weeks, most of them under difficult circum- stances, assert that the Bo1shevik au- thorities are again in complete con- trol of the city. At intervals during the spring there were times when the insure ionists held the upper hand.
 In many villages in the Ukraine the peasants are reported to have or ganized and driven the Soviets out and the peasants are reported endeav- bring to strengthen their antl-Bolshe- yik organizations to prevent interfer- ence with their farms and villages.
 Travellers say only a few stores are open in Kiev, one of these being florists shop.
