22OO SAILORS WILL

More than 2200 sailors and 90 off cers of the United States navy will go to New Orleans during the American Legion national convention, October 1920, as the result of a re- cent order made by Assistant Secre- tar, oi the Navy Roosevelt.
 The naval men will go with a fleet of one cruiser and six destroyers ordered to New Orleans for the con vention. The cruiser, Birmingham, flagship of Rear Admiral w. c. Cole, who will command the fleet, has a normal quota of 1000 men and 60 of ficers. The six destroyers that will accompany the Birmingham will have crews of 200 men and five officers each.

the I. w. w. and its work of sabot- age and intimidation. In Kansas, Phil Zimmerman, noted nemesis of the Wobblies, organized Legionnaires in combat throughout the wheat belt and succeeded in frustrating the l. w. w. in campaign designed to in- crease membership and coerce the farmers, aided with "cow itch," fire creating chemicals and other of their terrorism" weapons.
 In Illinois Commander McCauley cited American Legion efforts in Chi cago and in Centralia as illustrative of Americanism methods being employed by the Legion. In Chicago the rad icals have invaded the fashionable residential or "white collar" districts, and from soap boxes harangue the crowds with their un-American pleas and disloyal utterances.
 Instead of calling upon the police to quell the exhorters, furnishing them with persecution" appeal for sympathy, the North Shore Post of the American Legion, headed by Ferre Watkins, commander, organized a flying detachment of orators. Wher- ever radical soap box rostrum is set down, an American Legion soap box is placed near by. And sometimes it comes down to question of who can talk the loudest, sometimes 1t is a matter of eloquence, sometimes it is logic-but the "longhairs" are getting the worst of it on every occasion.
 In Centralia, H., nearly all the members of Centralia Post are union coal miners, and the post command CT, Paul M. Kramer, is one of the strikers. The post is conducting an aggressive, extensive campaign of Americanism, of patriotism, among the foreign-born elements in the com munity. Under the auspices of the post, and the Rotary club, Boy Scout camp is conducted in park near Gen. tralia, and boys of all classes, bank ers' sons, miners sons, sons of men of wealth and men in humble station, attend.
 In Oregon the immigration question has been occupying the Legion, and at its recent state convention the alien question was one of the most impor- tant questions considered. The con- vention adopted resolutions for the deportation of all aliens who have been in this country six years with out becoming citizens; the examina- tion of immigrants for entry into the country placed in the hands of bu- reau with the power to regulate the number; that steps be taken to edu- cate the immigrants in the duties of citizenship, and to prevent congrega- tion of aliens in colonies in the large cities-and for the filing by Oregon employers of semi-annual report of more than five alien employees, seg- regating the aliens from citizens.

AMERICAN a
LEGION WARNS PUBLIC
 AGAINST FALSE SECURITY

That the Americanism department of the American Legion, and the 11,000 posts of the Legion have their work cut out for them in an announce ed program of opposition to radical ism, and the Americanization of for eign born in the country, is indicated by surveys made in various states by officials of the organization. Some what typical of reports received at national headquarters is the declara- tion of William R. McCauley, com mander of the Illinois department.
 "Our American people feel entirely safe and secure-too much so for their own good" Commander McCau- ley said. Some cold facts, bluntly administered, might wake them up to the conditions all about them. It is not generally realized that in Illinois there are more than 175,000 persons above the age of 10 years who cannot read or write the English language. Those who cannot understand our tongue number thousands.
 "Is it realized that bolshevik liter ature, supplied through generous funds from the Russian government is being circulated among those who are ignorant of our own printed lang uage or institutions

FORMER FLAGSTAFF LADY
 TOURS IN ALASKA

Mrs. Leslie Eddy, member of the teaching tsaff of the Anchorage pub lie school, is spending her vacation "seeing Alaska" After the close of school in the spring she made trip down the coast as far as Juneau and then back to Skagway, over the White Pass railroad to Whitehorse, with a side trip to Atlin, and down the Yu- kon river to Dawson on one of the White Pass steamers.
 At Dawson efforts were made by officials of the Canadian transports tion company to discourage Mrs. Ed dy and other travellers from making the river voyage to Nenana, but to no avail. So they boarded the steam CT Alaska for Panama and completed the voyage to Nenana aboard mail launch with a scow in tow, arriving here early last Friday morning. There were about forty in the party from Panama, with no privacy for sleeping and no one to do the cooking for them.
 During her stay in Nenana, Mrs. Eddy was the guest of Mrs. w. c. Steinmetz. She went to Fairbanks today and will spend several days at Chatanika visiting with Mrs. Frank Monkman before returning to her home on the coast.-Nenana News, Alaska.
 Flagstaff friends will remember her best as Leslie Mayflower Eddy, who was a native of Flagstaff and whose mother and brother still live here.

PREVENTING

Is now one of the most practical studies taught in Business College. Typewriters are so cheap that even a very poor person can buy one as very good machines may be bought for S10 and even less. So popular is typewriting that nearly all the stu dents who enroll at the Lamson Bus mess College, Phoenix, Arizona, take a course in Typewriting. At the end of a month the students have learned how to write and how to use a ma chine for different purposes and are ready to begin practicing for speed. Right here is where the Lamson Bus mess College differs from most schools as it insists on accuracy as we'll as speed. The result is that the business men of Arizona prefer stu dents who have taken typewriting course at the Lamson Business Col lege. The fall term of the 34th year opened Monday, September II.

ORDERS IS ORDERS

General Pershing tells the story of a volunteer battalion of backwoods- men that once joined General Grant. The latter admired their physique, but distrusted the capacity of their un- couth commander to handle troops promptly and efficiently in the field so he said:
 Colonel, want to see your men at work; call them to attention and or der them to march shouldered arms in close column to left flank"
 Without moments hesitation, the colonel yelled at his commands: Boys look wild, thar! Make ready to thick en and fo' left ends-ays! Tote your guns, git!"
 The maneuver proved a brilliant success and the self-elected colonel was forthwith commissioned. Another real incident during the Civil war is told by a Yank out scouting in the early morn, who dis covered a bunch of Morgan's troop CTS. The officer in command started away like this: Prepare to mount yore critters; mount; right smart; git!"

WHO GOT THE MONEY.
 ASKS LEGION MAGAZINE

Under the caption of "Who got the money" the American Legion maga- zine has begun publication of ser ies of articles based on allegations of war profiteering, beginning Saturday Exclusive of loans to the allies, the war cost the United States govern ment something like $19,000, ,000, ,000 of which about $15,O00, 100000 was expended in purchases of materials the first article asserts.
 Life and property, men and muni- tions won the war, the article says It then tells of a lieutenant, worn out with fighting, who during his rest period back of the lines continued to make out reports, one of which failed to report loss of two rifles. The price of these rifles was deducted from his pay. The article declares that offic. CTS at the front sometimes were tempted to believe that the govern. ment regarded property as more val uable than lives.
 Treatment accorded fighting mer is compared with that given to rich and powerful companies at home which furnished food. An instance is cited in which it is charged that sew eral million cans of rotten food were sold to the government for $8,600,' 900. The charges say further that this food was packed knowingly foI sale to the army. The courts have thus far been denied the opportunity of deciding the case.
 The article asks whether equal jus tice was meted out to the soldiers and to the food sellers.
