VSLEY CALLS ON AMERICA FOR REDEDICATION TO IDEALS
National Commander of American Legion, Urging Reconse
Grafton of Graves of Hero Dead on Memorial
Day, Says Nation Keeps Faith

Fitting commemoration of the
splendid sacrifice Of the war dead Of
the United States on Memorial day
was urged by Alvin Owsley, national
commander of the American Legion
here today.
Owsiey's statement:
THE world is wracked by the
clubbing Of nations over the spoils
of war, but the sublime faith in the
achievements of the recent world
struggle is still in the minds of the
men and women Of America, who
cherish a belief in the righteousness
Of the cause.
Brave Americans in the pursuance
of the conflicts grim course became
imbued with the fires of ambition
which carried them on to the wars
obiective-the destruction Of an I'M
righteous power.
THE ideals Of our citizen-soldiery
found expression in the defense of
humanity. To have fought for the
flag in the great conflict was to have
maintained the cause Of right. In the
words of one soldier, who wrote to
his mother on the eve Of battle: For
myself I would have you believe
that whatever end I met, I met it
with an even mind, constant in the
conclusion that 1 would have rather
gone out to this war and not come
back. than not to have gone at all.
My chief regret, If / may not live to
see the end, is that I may not witness
the triumph Of right over wrong in
this, the most terrible eruption of the

forces of reaction in the history Of
man. That these forces can triumph
is unthinkable; If they are to win,
I would, rather die than witness the
victory.
''It was in such spirit that the men
of this great nation died. It was that
unalterable pride in the defense Of
humanity's rights that led them to
give their all. Theirs was the realiza-
ton of the spirit of America.
Our sacred privilege Is TO enshrine
them in the heart Of America and
the world. Hallowed tombs Of our
dead lie in the poppy covered fields
Of Flanders and in the homeland. We,
their comrades Of the American
Legion shall not forget their deeds.
ION the annual recurrence Of
Memorial day, in devotion and rever-
ence, we turn to consecrate the rest
ing places of these, our heroic dead.
We must bow to the splendor Of the
sacrifice, the heroism OF their lives,
the glory Of their belief in America
and our institutions.
"As national commander Of the
American Legion, I implore every
man, woman and child Of this mighty
nation to pay homage to the memory
of these brave men Of every race,
class and creed and Of every war. Let
us reconsecrate their resting places
as shrines Of a free America; re-
dedicating our lives to the further
ance of the ideals for which they
died -

OF NEW YORK KHAN
White ROBBERS Stand on

By United Netos

By United Meas
NEW YORK, May ga Klans-
mans mask Is his mansion and any
attempt to deprive him Of his secrecy
infringes on his personal liberty
This Is the stand Of the KuKlux
Khan, to be tested in the courts if
necessary, its leaders, both State and
National, declared today.
Since the Walker act, aimed to IN
mask the Khan, raises this issue first
and most clearly in New York, the
opening salvos Of the fight for an
onynity viii be fired as soon as Khan
officials are prosecuted for failure to
submit lists Of their Klavern mem
bers.
From National Khan headquarters
at Atlanta came the announcement,
although the most exalted officials of
the organization are sympathetic with
the views expressed by the empire
State King Kleagle in defiance of
Governor Smith, they have issued no
orders on the subject. and intend to
let the New York Kleagles fight the
battle themselves.
Nevertheless the past forty-eight
hours compassed displays Of Khan ac-
tivity all over the country, in what
happened to be a united effort to make
an impressive showing. Statesmen of
Khan memberships and regalIa are re.
ported most active everywhere, and
observers believe limitations the past
week mark the highest rate Of Khan
growth.

Khan war cry, II State and country
officials make any real effort to i'm
pound records.
It would take a neat fob Of sleuth-
ing to pin the goods on the night
riders, unless they are caught on the
road In the full panoply of their sheets
and pillow cases.

said, IS now emphasized in two chan
nels; the organization Of 100 per cent

emily not connected with Ku-Klux
which locals are later converted to
Klansmen In a body by high pressure

WHIPPING POLICY
IS TO BE DECIDED
Florida SOlonS Divided as to Wis
dom Of The Lash

Tallahassee, Fla, April 30.--An-
nouncement that the federal govern
ment is investigating the death of
Ned Thompson, S. years old negro,
in the Leon county Jail shortly after
he was returned from the lease con-
Wet camp and the prospective legisla-
tive battle over the move to establish
corporal punishment of Florida con-
victs are of outstanding interest to-
day in the situation brought about by
the investigation Of the death of Mar
tin Tabert, North Dakota youth after,
it is alleged. he had been flogged while
serving a sentence for stealing a
ride on train.
Opinion apparently is about evenly
divided as regards the anti-whipping
idea and only the most optimistic VEN
ture to predict victory favoring the
proposed measure. Many of the sena-
tors are said to be opposing it on the
ground that doing away with the use
of the whip may possibly disrupt the
states convict road forces. Other
senators believe the convicts can be
handled in a more humane manner
and declare that to do away with the
whip at this time would tend to
modify great deal of the unfavor-
able publicity which the state has re-
ceived as result of the disclosures
in the Tabert case.
1t is declared prison reformers are
following developments closely and
are preparing to carry the battle to
the state administrative officials who
they claim hold the power to ban the
use of the whip in the event the
measure is defeated in the senate.
An agent of the department of JUS
tice arrived here several days ago and |
had been investigating the Thompson |
death to determine whether he was
held in peonage.

Immediately made. District Attorney
Gordon objected and Justice Stafford

evidence including certified copies of
