The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-11-08

The parade committee of the le- zion was holding meeting in one room in the Hiliman hotel yesterday and in an adjoining room the execu- tive board of the league was discuss Ing the same question. However. one favored and the other opposed.
 When members of the league learned that the legion committee was holding a meeting they went In to discuss with them the matter of presenting disarmament by interna~ tional agreement on this day when the disarmament conference starts in Washington.
 Mrs. Jacobs Speaks
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs, member of the national committee on disarmament made a brief talk in which she told members of the legion that it would be a shame for Birmingham not to present this question to the people. 50 far as I know Birmingham is the only city, town or hamlet in the coun- try that Is not going to celebrate disarmament" said Mrs. Jacobs. "On Armistice day the disarmament con ference will be started In Washing ton and the whole world Is looking to this movement which Is disarma- ment by reduction of armament"
 Mrs. Jacobs, who was supported by a group of members of the League of Women Voters further urged that disarmament be featured in the forthcoming celebration. The chair man of the parade and celebration committee, Maj. J. T. McEwen. could give her no encouragement, however, saying that no provision had been made for such feature.
 Mrs. Jacobs then asked whether tho Jurisdiction of Major McEwen's com mittee extended to the exercises that were being scheduled for the schools. Major McEwen replied that he thought the school celebrations were being looked after by some other committee.
 school Programme
 At this juncture, Sam c. Bowman stated that he was there to represent the school committee" He said that at the last executive meeting of the American Legion, the post command er George L. Bales, had appointed Major Ullman, Frank Dixon and him self to arrange and carry out pro- gramme of appropriate exercises in- all of the city schools which was to be in lieu of any other form of celebra- tion; that in pursuance of that ap- pointment Major Ullman and he had called on Dr. Glenn, city superintend- ent. and had made the suggested ar engagements; that last Friday night at special meeting of the post a resolution was adopted supplement- ing this programme with parade and demonstration at Capitol park: and that 1t was this part of the cele- bration--the supplementary part that had been entrusted to Major Mo- Ewen and his committee.
 Mir. Bowman, adressing Mrs. Jacobs, said that so far as he was concerned. and so far, he thought, as his committee was concerned every facility would be offered tn. League of Women Voters to get their dis armament propaganda as thoroughly as possible before the public. Special Meeting
 There was considerable discussion about calling a special meeting of the post to enable delegation from the League of Women votesr to submit their appeal for participation in the Capitol park exercises; and from the views expressed by individual legion naires 1t Is not unlikely that meet ing. either of the post at large or of the executive committee, will be called today or tomorrow to pass upon this and some other important matters concerning the celebration. In speaking of the matter of the school programme. M. M. Ullman, chairman of the committee appoint ed by executive committee Of the Birmingham post, Nc. 1. of the Amer ican Legion. said:
