AMERICAN
 LEGION
(Thc Observation POsD

NHdt lS tlt puTpOsS UT uhS i"- giOn:" l am asked. and as I form ulate an answer there is visioned before my eyes an army composed of the very flower of American man hood marching with high resolve in to the face of the enemy's guns There ensues a veritable hell-on earth; cataclysmic eruption of forces unbelievably of mans mak- ing: horrible spectacle of mans destruction of himself--Then a chain of ambulances slowly weav- ing their way along the shel!-torn roads on their way to the hospitals at the rear with their mangled hu- man freight.
 I look into one of the cars and I see these maimed and dying soldiers actually smiling. and those who have power of speech give expression to regret that the loss of eyesight. the shattered limb, or the torn and bleeding body prevents them carry ing on" with their comrades.
 I see them lingering in crowded hospitals during the war; I see them brought to America after the strug- gle has been decided in favor of the ideals they supported. For a brief period of time I see them winei and dined, and driven in rich mems motor cars. until fickle fashion de crees change to pet monkeys and poodle dogs. then cast aside fn favor of a new plaything.
 Their sightless eyes remain the same; the hollow cheeks and weak cough of gas poisoned men is even more prevalent as the dread tuber- oolosis lays its icy clutch upon them; the crippled and missing limbs are no less evident. Death has brought A blessed relief to many of these doomed boys. but the great majc<1ty of them. these unfortunate heroes whose praises are sung but whose wants are forgotten, are still with us and both deserving and requiring of the very best a nation can give.
 The Government has done some thing for them. it is true. but ac- cording to the Legion's conception of their martydom--------- who witnessed their sacrifce----they have not dOne enough Had these boys been as long in making up their minds to fight as the Government has been to unwind the red tape of sleepy legislation than the war might have had far less happy end- ing to those who stayed at home. A valuable but costly lesson might have been taught.
 It is the Legion's real and primary purpose to hasten legislation in aid of their stricken comrades; to build hospitals and to maintain them; to learn the needs of our helpless ex- service men and the needs of their dependent families and to supply them: to administer personally to them in private homes: to visit them in the hospitals in which they are quartered and to cheer their num- bered days with the many little con- forts 50 important to them in their bed-ridden helplessness. And fin- ally. when Taps" sounds on high for them. we will give them the honored military burial which they have 50 dearly earned.

The mission was started in Rock

rapidly and has been economically
operated, doing a splendid Work,
During the past four months,
since it has been in its new building
the following is some of the work
which has been accomplished:
1886 men and boys lodged; 1850
had clothes fumigated; $500 free

A short time ago young man

was willing to go home. This mis-

and arrangements were made to
send him to his home in Cleveland.
His step-mother being away from

appreciative of what had been done.
Some extracts are as follows:

to have lost all interest in his

years and that is the reason
they are having such a hard
time of it, but l say thank God
for people who run missions
and take care of motherless
children whose father shifts the
burden of them onto anyone
who will take the responsible

to be the one bright spot for
just such boys.

Fashion NeUs|
Notes by Wire
to The Argus

Paris, France, May 1. = Faint
touches of color are affected by
brides this spring, the unrelieved
white of wedding gowns apparently
looking too cold and severe as
compared with the brilliant tones
in other frocks. Shell pink is the
favorite shade with which brides
are lining their trains or the pan
els of their gowns. More than once
a bride has had her underdress
made wholly of shell pink crepe
de chine, which gives a warmth to
the long folds of white or silver
lace. Silver and pearls are fash
ionable trimming and velvet COM
bined with lace is in vogue for
both gown and train.
London, Eng, May Now and
then one sees a distinctly Georgian
style among the Greek, Egyptian
and Balkan modes of the minute.
An afternoon costume suited for
stroll or for the tea room was cut
on Georgian military lines. 1t con-
sisted of a maroon silk gown with
plain snug bodice, and full skirt
smartIy f1ounced inside panels. The
coat of black velvet was short and
semi-fitting. With this costume
went a tricorn hat of black velvet
edged with furnished gold braid.

ton of the coal scuttle hat is being

There is a mushroom brim much
wider in front than in back. The
crown is high in front and slopes

to be the favorite mat for the coal

but beautiful affair of geranium
taffeta with a snug bodice, low

dozen huge, straggly flowers made
from the loops of the palest yellow
ribbon with crystal bead centers.
