POEM BY DISABLED VETERAN
Member of Prescott (Ariz.) Post Makes
Appeal to Buddies to Become
Legionnaires.

inspired by patriotic addresses made
at recent meeting of the Earnest A.
Love post of the American Legion in
Prescott, Ariz., Robert Lee Beveridge,
disabled veteran, found that he was
unable 90 sleep when he returned to
the hospital following the meeting.
Thinking of the Legion's appeal to
men who fought together during the
World war, the feelings of Beveridge
crystallized into a poem which was
read for the first time by Mrs. Harry
L. Southworth, Arizona national ex-
ecutive committeeweman of the Amer
lean Legion Auxiliary, at recent
meeting in Prescott addressed by AL
vim Owsley national commander of the
American Legion. The disabled mans
poem follows:
Say. Bud have you joined the Legion
yet?
Now don't get angry and swear.
For we never can be pure stranger
you know.
For look at the memories we share
SO I'm asking you, have you Joined up
yet
You ought from that button you
wear.
There's fight ahead and you ought
to be
An American Legionnaire.
You're a comrade Of mine and I love
you, Bud.
Remember the gas alarm
And the o. D. sshirt
That was caked with dirt
AND served as a cootie farm
How we used to think in our careless
way
That taps was sweet goodnight
Til. with heads bowed down,
We heard taps sound
At the burial after the fight?
Are you putting your shoulders to the
wheel,
And showing with all your Nigh
To finish the fight you began in France.
Or have you steered clear of the
fight?
Have you forgotten Belleau, st. Mihiel
and Argonne
And your buddies you left over
there
And your crippled chums who are need
ing you now
Come on, be a Legionnaire
You're a comrade of mine, for haven't
we fought
On Flanders Field of France
And ducked our head
To the scream Of lead
Or checked the Germans advance?
We've frightened our belts notch or
Then over the top we've strobe,
With a Yankee grin
On a stubborn chin.
Or hiked down a sher-torn road.
OF course you belong to the Legion
man.
Your service has won you It,
There's no one can take 1t away from
you,
But you haven't been working at It.
It's duty you owe to the fallen slain
That you cannot shirk or share;
It's to fight the fight as you used to
fight
AS a militant Legionnaire.

LITTLE AID WAS NECESSARY
Most All Ex-Service Men and Women
Treated In Mayo Hospital Able
to Meet Expenses.

OF the 80 cases of ex-service men
and women treated during one month
at the Mayo hospital, Rochester Mimi,
only seven required aid from the local
Legion members according to reports
made to department officials Of the
American Legion in the state
The Legionnaires at Rochester found
some time ago that serious problem
had developed in their city when
many former service men and women,
learning of the reputation of the Mayo
clinic. would come there practically
without funds and even though receiv-
ing treatment, faced serious conse-
Quences. In order to meet this de-
mand for service, certain post fun.J
were set aside and the service officer
instructed to handle these cases.
Since that time demands for aid
from these patients have practically
ended, according to post officials,
though willingness to help is still the
part of the Rochester Legionnaires.
Some degree of Legion care Is Of
fered to every former service man or
woman who becomes patient In the
hospital but the requests for financial
aid show that most of the patients are
self-sustaining during the periods Of
treatment. The cases in the hospital,
from all parts Of the country, were as
follows:
Alabama 2, Arizona 1, Arkansas 2,
California 2, Colorado 2, Florida 2,
Idaho 2, Illinois II, Indiana 5, Iowa 16,
Kansas 4, Michigan s, Minnesota "a,
Missouri 6, Montana 6, North Dakota
8, Ohio 2, Oklahoma 6, Pennsylvania
6, South Dakota Z Tennessee /, Texas
l, Wisconsin 10, Wyoming 2, Canada 4.

NorthcIiffe,s Generosity.

Sir Philip Gibbs, writing in the
Worlds Work, tells the following
story about Lord Northcliffe's gener-
osity:
He was very generous at times to
those who served him. / know one
man who approached him for a loan
of f1O0.
He was shocked at the idea.
Certainly not Don't you know
that 1 never lend money? l wouldn't
do it If you were starving in the gut

Then he wrote check for f10O, and
said: "But I'll give it to you, my dear
fellow. Say no more about it."

FRENCH MAN WARNS COUNTRY
Ruhr Occupation PIIing Up Dangerous

Ruhr Occupation Piling Up Dangerous
Deficit In Treasury.
Paris-"If Frances 80 billion franc
floating debt is not consolidated,
France will be bankrupt within two
years"
This remarkable prophecy was made
by Deputy Schmidt, vice chairman of
the Definite War Accounts commits
sion of the French parliament. The
Poincare policy of making war in the
German Ruhr valley is so piling up
the debt of France that the govern
ment is certain to be attacked in the
chamber of deputies.
The French debt in 1918 was 10
billion francs. Now 1t is 423 billion
francs, including $50 billion of con-
solidated interior debt, 675,000,000
pounds sterling due Great Britain, 3d.
500,000,000 owed the United States,
and 80 billion francs of floating debt
not consolidated.

600 Permitted to Enter Gotham.
New York-Ellis Island, facing it's
greatest onslaught of immigrants
since the enactment of the three per
cent law by Congress, was place of
happiness as would-be citizens with
few exceptions were quickly passed
for entry into the United States.
Medical and immigration inspectors
working until nightfall scanned the
streams of humanity taken to the
island from four of the IL ocean liners
anchored at Quarantine. More than
1000 of the 2,074 aliens arriving at
the island, it was estimated, were per-
mitted to go to New York.
The race to port, across the imagin-
airy line denoting entry into American
waters, on the stroke of midnight,
when the fiscal year of the new quotas
began, was made by II liners, carry
ing approximately 10000 immigrants
from % nations.

KILLED APPROPRIATIONS BILL
Legislature Denies Approval of Uni
versity, Normal Schools Funds.


versity, Normal Schools Funds.
Madison, Wis.-The Wisconsin Leg
islature ended when the Senate joined
with the assembly in killing the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and nine Wiscon-
sin normal schools appropriation bills
by adopting the conference commit
tee report.
The refusal of the assembly to pass
bills without financing them through
income surfaces and the determine
ton of the. Senate to stand against
surtaxes resulted in a deadlock that
climaxed the six months session.
The university and normal schools
are now forced to fall back on con-
tinuing appropriations that carried
them through the last two years.
The normal schools situation is ex-
pected to be so bad that special ses-
sion of the Legislature will be needed
early in the fall to remedy conditions.
