AMERICAN \LEGION)

Four years ago the words lover | There" meant a boy away from home
 and loved ones; hardships, rain, mud, privations, fighting, wounds and per i haps death. In the "Flapper Diction-
 ary" of today, according to the Amer
 ican Legion of Omaha, Neb., lover
 there" means a warning "that the girl | lives too far to take taxl! The
 Legion is trying to do something 1 about 1t.
 | A second great vessel of the United | States merchant marine now bears the
 name American Legion. In re-nam- | ing the so-called state boats after
 president, the shipping board made an | exception in the steamship Badger
 State, which was given the name American Legion instead. The fast
 est boat of the Munson line also is
 named after the service mems organ
 ization.
 In remaining the boats, the ship
 ping board undertook to re-christen
 the Leviathan, greatest American
 troop-ship, after President Harding,
 who directed however, that the giant
 liner retain the name she had during
 the doughboy days.
 Whether the crown of best all-round
 athlete in the military forces of the United States shall rest on the head
 of soldier, marine or sailor will be
 decided when the men from the three branches of the service meet in com petition at the third annual track and
 field meet of the Philadelphia Amer ican Legion, June 9 ana 10.

WILL REBUILD
LONDON BLOCK,
J.B. SAX SAYS
New Structure VIII Be Ready I'm
Four Months, Owner Tele-
phones LOaH Supervisor.

The London building destroyed
by fire last Friday morning will be
rebuilt, ]. B. Sax of Ottumwa,
owner of the building, told B. E.
Henderson of Chicago, district sup
ervisor of the Fidelity Loan COM
pany which incurred heavy losses
in the fire, in a telephone CONVEX
sation yesterday.
Mr.. Sax is expected in the city
tomorrow or Thursday to meet
with adjusters, and Immediately
after a settlement is reached, con
struction work will start, he said.
Just what will be done in the way
of remodeling or replacing an en-
tirely new building is mott known,
but the owner stated that the build
ing will be ready for occupancy in
four months.
Indications are that the walls
which appear to be in good shape
will remain, and the interior en-
tirely rebuilt. An adjustment with
insurance companies is expected to
be made within a week SO that no
time will be lost before the actual
construction work begins.
The l.. r. Steele company store
which adjoins the Kresge store,
which was completely wrecked, has
been closed and no date for the re-
opening announced as yet. Browns
Business college, which occupied
the third floor of the building, is
conducting its classes at the Dav-
export college temporarily. The
Fidelity Loan company has its of
fees at the Peoples National Bank
building for this month, and ex-
poets to create permanent head
quarters in the Safety building in
February.
The second safe of the Fidelity
Loan company which fell from the
second story of the building was
taken out today and removed to the
company's new quarters.
The safe is a huge vault weigh
ing about 5000 pounds, but was not
fireproof. However, the vault did
not fall in the path of the fire and
no records were lost The COM
pany recently purchased another
safe, fireproof, which weighs but
500 pounds, which also fell. In this
all the important mortgages and
records OF the firm were saved.

NEED OF STATE
AND CHURCH is
MORE BOOSTERS
Bishop Nicholson Says World Need
Is Eddys Rather Than
s-sa ArbnekIes.

The greatest need Of the hour is
for -us to throw away our ham
mers and get horns, boost not
knock, and to make Sherwood
Eddys and Frances Wizards of our
young people, not Fatty Arbuekles
and Peggy Joyces," Bishop Thomas
Nicholson said today in his talk be-
fore the Rock Island district Meth
odist conference in Galya.
Bishop Nicholson explained to
the several hundred delegates gath
cred at the GalYa church for the
opening session, that the receipts
of the Methodist church for its va
rious work has been remarkable but
added I'VE must not congratulate
ourselves upon our achievements
and retrench, bat we must go for
ward to larger things"
He paid particular stress on the
need of leading the young people in
the right path, declaring that the
conditions forced upon the public
by after war reactions made the
work among the young people more
urgent and more difficult than ever
before.
There were 10000 juvenile Grim
inals in Chicago last year." he said.
''That is as many boys as we have
received into our worldwide min
istry in Is years Thirty thousand
girls disappeared from homes in
year. There are only IS woman's
Foreign Missionary society recruits.
The world is open to US now as
never before. We can do now
what we cannot do in a century if
we neglect our opportunity. How
near civilization has come to COM
hitting suicide in Europe we have
not yet begun to realize. We have
the resources with which to meet
the need and we have the marvel
GUS wealth of young people"
In outlining Methodist program
which should be followed Bishop
Nicholson said:
1.-THE church has assumed ma
tional and an international import
ance heretofore undreamed of. It
is not enough to promote the sal
walton of the individual except as
he is a social unit. What must be
the Methodist program? The CEN
tenary pledges paid in full for the
5-year period; an unprecedented
use of information and publicity
the people must know the facts
training conferences for workers,
that we may furnish leaders for
reaching the last charge and the
last man; a recanvass of the whole
church, with a view to giving ev-
cry member and particularly the
new members and those who did
not previously subscribe, chance
to contribute to the full limit of
their ability. We need the faith
giving, mind-enlightening. unifying
power of the holy spirit and the
prayerful practice of the presence
of God"
Bishop Nicholson said that the
Methodist Episcopal church had
great cause for congratulations be-
cause of the marvellous response to
its world appeal The six boards
of the church, the board of negro
education, board of Sunday school,
board of temperance, American BIZ
bic society, board of education, and
deaconess board, have all received
their appointments in full for
three successive years, each

Pope Sends Message.
Dublin, Jan. 10.-(By the Associ-
ated Press.)-The Dahl resumed its
sittings at 1870 o'clock with the
reading by Speaker MacNeill of a
cable message from Cardinal Gas
parri, on behalf Of Pope Benedict.
saying his holiness rejoiced with
the Irish people at the agreement
that had been reached. and sent his
blessing to them after they had
passed through their long period
of SORROWS faithful to the Catholic
church.
Another message read was from
the Irish labor party asking the
Dali to receive a deputation for a
conference regarding the economic
and industrial situation.
Michael Collins then rose and
said the Dali must organize fmme-
diately some form of government
to prevent a state Of anarchy. He
moved that Arthur Griffith be ap-
pointed president Of the Dali Fir
cam.
The Irish nation had no captain,
Collins continued, who proceeded to
tell the Dali that he had received a
letter from the proprietor of the
Cork Examiner, saying the man
agement OF that newspaper had
been held up this morning at 2
O'Clock and compelled to publish a

proclamation. Collins said he call
ed such methods black and tan
methods" woever employed them.
The proposition to elect Grit
fifth was opposed by John Maclntee,
WHO said he questioned the wisdom
of putting In Griffith, a man who
was bound by his signature to the
treaty to wreck the Irish republic.
He declared no man who had
signed the peace agreement should
be president of the Dali.
DeValera Questions Griffith.
Eamonn de Valera asked Griffith
whether he intended. IL elected. to
act as the executive of the repub-
lie. The Dali Eireann, he said. was
representative of the republic, and
of nothing else. Peace was not
established by the treaty, he de-
clared, as the struggle for the re-
public would continue.
This body" de Valera added.
has no right to give away its pow
ers unless it is established as re-
publican government"
Answering the questions OF the
opposition, Griffith said that Ii
he would use his position
to give effect to the constitutional
vote of the Dali to carry out the
terms OF the treaty
Mr.. de Valera continued to press
for a definite answer to his ques-
ton whether Griffith would act as
the executive of the republic.
THE republic Of Ireland" Grit
fifth replied, remains in being until
the Free State comes into being
and there is an opportunity to put
the question before the elector-
ate"
Griffith said the Dali had approx
ed the treaty ard that it must bt
carried into effect. Therefore" he
added, I'VE must have a provisional
government"
