st. Louis, Feb. 15.-In an adver-
tisement appearing in today's pa
pers over the names Of ex-serV1ce
men. an appeal is made to the pub
lie and congress to oppose the pro-
posed soldier bonus legislation.
Many of those whose names appear
in the advertisements, are members
of local posts of the American
Legion.
We, the undersigned" { he ad-
vertisement reads, "ex-service men,
members and non-members of the
American Legion, regard the soldier
bonus as contrary to the ideals
which prompted our military ser
vice and economically unsound. We
believe the wounded and disabled
ex-service men should be imme-
diately and adequately provided for
by the government"
A local American Legion post has
adopted a resolution in protest
against the advertisement, which
according to the resolution, did not
express the views of ex-sefvice men
in general.
