Ex-service Men Promptly Halt Ex
quotations Of Pre-German
Troublemakers.

In response to the warning issrcd
by their national commander, f. w.
GaIbraith, Jr., American Legion mem
bers In many parts Of the country
have been active in fighting against
efforts Of pro-Germans and other
h~yphenated persons to drive a wedge
between America and her allies In tho
World war.
Twenty-Five thousand patriotic citi-
zens OF New York attended the sAl
American Meeting for God and Coun-
try which was held in Madison
square Garden under the auspices OF
the Legion. as a protest against a pre-
vions pro-German meeting. said TO be
for the purpose Of creating sentiment
against the alleged Horrors on the
Rhine"
When word was received In Phila-
delphia that DR.. Edmund Won Mach,
notorious German propaganda, was
planning to hold a meeting in that
city, Legion members and other pa
triotic citizens opposed the PROPOSE
ton and succeeded In blocking the
scheme.
Similar action was taken by the
Legion and various societies in Indian
apolis. Among the organizations CO.
operating with the Legion was the ma
tional executive committee Of the
American Gymnastic union, composed
Of a large membership Of citizens OF
German extraction, which insisted
upon unhyphenated citizenship and
scored Won Mach and George Sylves-
ter viereck. On the same day the In.
dianapolis board Of public works an
nounced 1t would not permit the use
Of its large convention hall for the
proposed Won Mach meeting.
Learning that Louisville was on the
proposed itinerary Of Doctor Won
Mach, the Kentucky department OF
the Legion instructed posts to use
"every lawful means practicable to
stop the threatened invasion Of Boche
propagandists.' The Kentucky Legion's
bulletin also warned against the ac-
tivities of yiereck.
Legion posts have also opposed the
h~yphenates in Chicago, Cleveland,
Omaha. Cincinnati and Milwaukee.
