 LEGION Copy for This Department Supplied by the American Legion News Service)
TO DECORATE 32,1O0 GRAVES
American Legion Plans for Endow. ment Fund to Annually Provide
 Proper Attention.

The graves of 32 100 American World war heroes on foreign soil will never be forgotten on Memorial day by the American Legion, under the plans for an endowment fund to be established by the national organiza tion. This fund will be of sufficient amount to annually provide for the permanent decoration of the graves of the dead of the World war, as long as the Legion itself shall exist.
 Shortly after the close of the war, collection of a million francs, approx imately S66,OO0 was made by the Paris post of the American Legion, but the income from this amount has not been found sufficient to do the necessary work annually, so that the endowment plan has been taken up by the national organization and the goal set at S100,- 0O0.
 AS a result of the operation of this fund, American Legion representatives will visit the graves of the dead in six different countries on Memorial day and see to it that the grave of every soldier, sailor or marine is fittingly re- membered. The government is main taining these graves in proper man. ner, taking excellent care of the ceme teries and plots. but the Legion con siders that its duty is to pay direct personal tribute to those who gave their lives to their country. According to information given to the Legion. there are 31 400 graves in France and Belgium; 4SS in England; 140 in Scot land; 40 in Ireland. One American sailor is buried in Spain.
 The fund will be raised from direct contributions from Legion posts and members throughout the country. The national treasurer of the American Le- zion is authorized to receive either contributions of posts or private dona tiOns.
