NAVY HEAD SENDS GREETINGS
Josephus Daniels, Retiring Secretary,
Expresses Appreciation for Part
In World War.

A message Of greeting and apprecia-
ton to the members of the American
Legion was written by Josephus DAN
iels, former secretary Of the navy, lust
previous to his retirement from office.
The message follows:
Upon my retirement as the direc.-
ms head Of the navy, which place ]
was privileged to hold during the
World war. wish to SEND a word OF
greeting and appreciation to all who
belong TO the American Legion and all
who served their country In the army
and navy during those crucial days
1t was a privilege 1 shall regard as
the most sacred In my life to have
been their comrade In those great
days. They truly saved the clviliza.
ton of the world by their spirit and
their valor. In the days that are 10
come the world depends upon them
for saving it from the perils of peace
l have profound faith that they wiz
not be wanting In the new call upon
them for the same courage and wis
dom In peace which they manifestaa

TO HOLD PRO-GERMAN MEETS
Sessions Alleged for Purpose of Pro-
testing Against Negro Troops In
French Army of Occupation.

PrO-German meetings planned for
the near future In number of cit.
les in the East and Middle West will
be closely watched by the American
Legion, according to national head
quarters Of the eX-service mems or
ganization. The series of meetings,
1t Is understood, will be held for the
purpose Of protesting against the re-
ported presence Of negro colonial
troops in the French army of occu-
patton despite the fact that the troops
in question were withdrawn many
months ago.
Cities in which the meetings are
scheduled are Milwaukee, Omaha,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louisville.
Chicago, Cleveland and New York. It
is understood that DIR. Edmund Won

ton, ID. c., in an effort to enlist the
aid of F. W. Galbraith, Jr, Legion ma

soring the movement
A bulletin from Legion national
headquarters, warning state head
quarters to watch for an attempt TO
revive German propaganda and to Gre
ate sentiment in America hostile to
the allies, has been sent out, and
steps have been taken by national off,
Gals to influence the Department "
Justice to prohibit the meetings.
"A recurrence of German prom.
gnnda activity in this country Is some
thing the Legion has been watching
for for some time" said Lemu9
Bolles, national adjutant of the Lee
gion. Il feel that the greatest check
to a movement of this kind will corn
from citizens of Teutonic extraction,
of whose loyalty and sincerity there
can be no doubt. Loyal Americans
should know Of the sinister efforts to
turn sentiment in favor of the nation
with which technically we are still at
war"

GOVERNOR NEFF AIDS LEGION
Chief Executive of Texas Urges All
EllgibIes to Become Members
Of the Organization.

Governor Pat Neff of Texas has rec
ognized the Importance of the Ameri-
can Legion's effort to extend its In
tiuence in that state by giving an I'M
qualified endorsement of the member
ship campaign now under way.
"Ofticials Of the department of
Texas, American Legion, the organiZa-
ton which stands as living perpetu-
alton of the spirit of the American
soldier during the World war, are now
making an especial effort to draw
more ex-service men into their ranks"
said Governor Neff.
THE record set by the men who
form the department Of Texas, during
that period preceding November Il,
1918, and the principles advocated by
these men since they have welded
themselves into the American Legion"
he continued, leads me to suggest that
the public would be serving its own
ends, as well as those of the American
Legion, by lending active support to
the membership campaign the latter
has launched. The former service
man who has not affiliated with the
American Legion should need no one
to point out the advantage to be lie
rived by him and his country through
his support of this organization but
in the rush of modern life, some things
are overlooked and those who have not
the privilege of eligibility for the
American Legion may aid by calling
this to the attention of their acqualnt-
ances who have been in the service"

LEGION MEN HIT BY RULING
Rational Judge Advocate Decides or.
aanization Officer Ineligible II
Holding Public Office.

A decision of far-reaching impor-
ance as affecting the participation in
politics of men holding Office in the
American Legion has just been hand
ed down by Robert A. Adams, ma
tional judge advocate of the Legion, in
response to an Inquiry from the Inter
Post Council of Los Angeles, Cal.
At it's annual election held In De
cember a Los Angeles post elected
Claiming Toilette as commander for
1921. A short time afterwards Fol
lette was appointed justice of the
peace by the board of supervisors Of
Los Angeles county.
The question arose whether, in view
Of the fact that Toilette had been APP
pointed to an office which, in its ma
ture, except In the matter of filling
vacancies, is an elective, salaried pub
lie office, he was eligible to serve as
an officer of the Legion.
In his official ruling the national
judge advocate says:
This being a salaried, elective pub
method Of filling vacancy Is not es
sential in determining the eligibility
Of Legionaire holding such office
The office is elective, although the case
with which we deal Is that of an ap-
pOintment.
THE purpose of the constitutional
provision Is, Of course, to prevent, so
far as possible, the use by a member
Of the Legion Of his Legion member
ship In furthering a political career.
Consequently, the effect of an APP
pOintment Is in no wise dissimilar
from an election, and it Is my opinion
that the incumbent is, by the accept
ance of his office, rendered ineligible
for the office Of the American Legion"
1t is believed that many Legion
members, appointed to political offices
