LEGION PLANS TO AID POLES
ORGANIZATION Will EndeaVor to Have
Naturalization Requirements
Amended in Their Favor.

The assistance of the American Lee
gion has been asked for a group Of
American-born men who seek easing
Of naturalization laws because Of war
service in the Polish army.
"Haller's Army" contingent Of
American Poles, fought at the side of
allied troops all through the war.
Their service caused them to lose
rights as American citizens, and in
order to obtain citizenship they must
pass through the same formalities as
would an alien seeking naturalization.
The veterans base their plea for the
Legion's aid on the fact that they
served with allied troops and should
be entitled to naturalization by dis
play of an honorable discharge and
testimony of witnesses to their service.
Others in this army were citizens of
Poland, then subjugated by the enemy,
and were classed as enemy aliens, al
though they fought with the allies.
Efforts viii! be made to reduce natu-
ralization requirements for these men,
as well as those who were previously
citizens Of the United States.

Dakota Supplied Men During
Harvest Season.

an American Legion employment
bureau, operated in South Dakota dur
ing the harvest season, is regarded as
having been one of the most effective
checks in the spread Of 81. w. W."-ism
IN the North and West. Through the
services of the Legion's bureau hun
oreds OF men known to be of non-radi-
cal tendencies were sem to the farm
ers of the Dakotas to obtain work. the
radical type staying away from the
Leglon's employment agents.
The bureau was instituted by the
Sidney b. Smith post Of the Legion at
Aberdeen, S. D. Service was rem.
dered for period of eight weeks, dur
Ing which time the Legion placed $50
men OF LOO registering, without cost.
In some instances these men were
sent 200 miles from the agency to a
FARMER who had turned to the Legion
TO obtain reliable help in harvesting
his big crops.
But service did not stop with jobs
alone. Many of the men arrived at
the Legion tents, broke" hungry and
dirty. The Legion men provided 800
men with meals, gave lodging to 400
men, and arranged for a large num-
Der to receive free shower baths. Odd
jobs were found for a large number
to fill in until farm employment would
be obtained
Local police regarded a slip from
the American Legion employment bu-
reau as sufficient evidence that the
man was all right, but those who did
not have the Legion cards were usual
ly told to move on. The project was
given endorsement of federal, state
and municipal authorities.

He led a movement to commemorate
the war dead of Gloucester with a
Joan of Arc monument, which is
unique in that the base is formed Of
stones taken from every building in
France sacred to the memory of the
patriotic girl. He also served as first
vice commander Of the Massachusetts
department in 1919-1920.
Congressman Andrew has been Of
vital assistance to the Legion in it's
fight for compensation. In defense of
this measure he has said:

and fair, if long overdue reward, but
