Ketchikan Calls Election on Territorial Election
Constitution of u. S. Must be
Always Upheld Says Owsley i'm
Final Address to Legionr,aries

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1S.-Alvln
M. Owsley, retiring national command
er of the American Legion, in his
farewell address before the organiza-
tion's national convention. called upon
the men of the Legion with patriot
hearts, pure as gold. to respond In
this hour fraught with many possi-
bilities and laden with whispers of
impending danger.
"There is no back sliding for the
Legion away. from the original pur-
pose of its founding" he said, "and
the constitution of the United States,
which is the supreme law of the land,
must be upheld and defended by
you.
Law and order will be kept and
preserved; right proclaimed and
proudly asserted the Master of
Might" Mr.. Owsley declared. THE
memories of our sacrifices as com
rades must be carefully conserved
and the we'll being and happiness
and prosperity of all sanctified by
our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
NO Pronioate expenditure
"Our immense treasure OF ma
tional resources must not be wasted
away in profigate expenditure for
individuals for profit and benefit ac-
cruing to groups and combinations OF
capital that sometime may acquire
and keep vast holdings against the
public policy and common good. Let
us then inaugurate and freely support
an extensive program for the con-
servation OF our natural resources;
reclamation of waste lands, where
homes, farms and expression of indi-
vidualism can be built and estab-
lished; preserve and give fullest pro-
lection to our national forest reserves
and parks and the development of our
waterways, rivers and canals.
THE wild animal, so distinctly a
part of American history, is fast
passing out, so much SO we may say
is nearly extinct. Our bird life has
been Slaughtered and destroyed on SO
extravagant scale that they are
rarely to be seen: our streams
brooks, rivers and lakes once filled
with fish are stagnant or fished out
and empty. Attention wisely given to
protection of forest and field--closed
season for animals and birds-encour-
agement to the state and nation for
their breeding and propagation and
the restocking Of all our waters with
fish will in large measure give need
ed employment to numerous workers
and draw to the Legion the acknowl'
edgment from right thinking men
and women Of our controlling desire
for unselfish labors."
Help Laboring People
Always and fixed in the mind OF
the Legion is the recognition and de
sire to uphold and further the best
interest of the laboring people, Mr
Owsley continued.
i"Ours is the song of better homes
churches and schools. The inalien
able and God-given right of man to
work out his own salvation in his

GEORGE
GIVES MESSAGE
TO AMERICANS
Discusses German Repara-
tions Issue and Outlines
Plan for Procedure.

CHICAGO, Oct. 49, His CHIEF
message to America, which indorsed
the proposals of Secretary of State
Hughes for an international repara-
tions commission, was voiced last
night by David Lloyd George. He
Ia expected to resume his itinerary
and has recovered from his indis-
position.
The former British Pfemier said
in his speech at the Stockyards
amphitheatre last night "the United
States of America is absolutely i'm
partial and has no interest in re-
parations and certainly no more in
terest in Germany than anybody
else. She is very well disposed to-
ward France. She has great busi-
ncss knowledge at her disposal
eFurther discussing the repara-
tions question and Germany, David
lloyd George said blindness to force
and violence is the alternative to
the policy to be determined through
education of the capacity of Ger
many to pay reparations.
"If Germany refuses TO pay the
former Premier said. the Allies can
by such means determine that point
and force payment by marching to-
gether in any enterprise that is
necessary"
