WINS COOLIE LABOR BATTLE
American Legion in Queens County,
New York, Obtains Deportation of
Imported Workmen.

The coolie labor question has always
been considered as one affecting the
Pacific coast alone. But this is not the
case, according to recent newspaper
accounts. Had 1t not been for a post
of the American Legion, such cheap
labor would be turning out goods in a
Long Island IN. " factory.
For long TIME two hundred Chinese
had been employed in certain factories
in Long Island City, but the Legion in
Queens county, headed by the Bliss
vile post, brought pressure to bear on
the federal authorities so that they
swOoped down on these factories, ar
rested the men, and placed them on
Ellis Island, where they were later to
be deported.
This action by government officials
eliminated years fight by the for
mer service men, in the face of ad-
verse circumstances. Newspaper col
umns were closed to this gross viola
ton of the federal law, but the daunt-
less Legion men kept hammering away
until their point was carried and the
men were on their way out of the
country.

MEMORIAL TO ALL WAR DEAD
Structure in Oakland, CAL, Also to
Contain Names of Heroes of
Allied Nations.

A majestic memorial to the dead Of
contain the names Of the war dead Of
every allied nation, has been erected
in Oakland, Cal, as the personal con-
tribution of DR.. Leroy F. Herrick. AL
ready the names of S4,324 American
heroes have been placed in the crypt,
and records from other nations will be
sealed in the vault as they are re-
ceived.
The memorial has been erected In
the Allied Memorial Center on the
banks of Lake Merritt in Oakland.
Doctor Herrick, who for the past 80
years has been a practicing physician
in Oakland, paid the entire cost of the
memorial, a structure Of steel and
stone, and will maintain 1t. 1t has been
his ambition since 1919 to erect such a
memorial, and his unique plans for
recognition of the heroism Of the dead
have won commentator.
Special ceremony has marked the
placing of each list, participated in by
the American Legion and other vet
Grams organizations. Doctor Herrick
plans to mark each day made historical
by World war events with some such
ceremony.
He expects to receive the Canadian
list next, which will be followed by
the Australian and New Zealand rolls.
Much delay is anticipated in obtaining
the lists Of the 100000 war dead of
France, and for the complete lists Of
England, Belgium and other allies.
The monument has portraits of
Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt and
Wilson carved in the stone, and the
whole is surmounted by an American
eagle.

REALIZE VALUE OF LEGION
Victims of Arkansas City (Kan.) Flood
Appreciate Aid Rendered by
Ex-Service Men.

Citizens of Arkansas City, Kan.,
realized the value of an active post
of the American Legion during the re-
cent flood disaster which destroyed
many lives and caused millions of dol
lars In property damage to commune
ties in southern Kansas.
With the town placed under what
approximated martial law, members
of the Shelton Beatty post of the Le-
gion assumed a task that only men
with military training could master.
The duty was to act in conjunction
with the city authorities to obtain
obedience of laws formulated hurried
ly for the benefit of the town and to
guard the flooded area from the pill
Laying Of INSCRIPTIONS persons who
fiOcked to the stricken district to loot
what the water had left.
An organization was formed in short
order by the Legionnaires and a cor
don of guards was thrown about the
water front. Guard shifts were chosen
from 125 volunteers, who performed
this task for three nights until the
food abated. A battery of field artiI-
lery of the National Guard, called out
with the start Of the food, was in the
midst of a drive for recruits, and it
was necessary for LegiOnnaires to fill
the depleted ranks of the organization
to save its members from the strain of
night and day service.
The Legionnaires' members had IN
derwritten in part a guarantee to a
Chautauqua company before the disas-
ter occurred. Communicating with
Chautauqua officials they obtained re-
lease from their contract and an offer
from the company to stage the pro-
gram for the benefit of the flood relief
fund.
Now the veterans propose to coop
crate in plans TO be formulated by
civic organizations working toward
repair of damage caused by the food
and for permanent relief to persons
who lost their homes and property.

Armies of Ants.

Ants are harmless creatures in Can
ada. In South America are some big
enough to hide a quarter. Fiercest Of
them are the army ants, which or
ganize themselves into battaliOns. At
certain times of the year these insects
move in dense masses along the mar
row forest paths. No living creature,
not even the jaguar or the tapir, can
face them. If any animal failed to
move out of the way of the army they
would simply pass over ii, each ant
taking a bite without stopping, and in
a few minutes nothing would be left
but bones. Amongst these ants there
are special classes. The fighters have
huge jaws, almost as big as their
bodies. The workers collect food ana
build the nests, but they do nothing of
the tidying up, which is the work Of
special class of hOusemaid ants.
Others make massage their particular
duty. When tired workers come in the
masseurs take charge of them, rub
bling down their weary limbs.
