nomenal child actress, who is hailed

Weber discovery; Robert Frazier,
Eva Thatcher. Ralph Yearsley, Fred

Legion Can Help End War
Says English Veteran
By MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Stan Correspondent

LoNDON.z"Get rid of the hate
complex That is the slogan OF
9eneral Sir Ian Hamilton, a fighting
spider for fifty years, would like to
see adopted and taken to heart by
we members of the British Legion
and h American Legion.
That old enemies should cease
60 hate each other" said Sir Ian to
me, is far more important than
conferences about the war damages
Germany shall pay.
Europe especially is suffering
nom the hate complex. You see it
where the French face the Germans,
where the Hungarians face the Ru-
manians, where the Serbs face the
Bulgarians."
Fought in Many Wars
Few have a better right to talk
this way than Sir Ian. He's been a
soldier for nearly half a century. He
has seen hard active service in all
England's wars in that period-the
Afghan campaign, the first Boer war,
he Nile expedition. the Burmese
gar, the Chitral relief force, the sec
md Boer war, and finally, in the
sreat war as commander-in-chief of
he army at Gallipoli.
He was chief-of-staff to Kitchener
N the last years of the Boer war.
lie became a great friend of the IA
nous Boer statesman-Jan SHUTS.
Theodore Roosevelt was another
friend. The last few years he has
been devoting much of his time to
he affairs of the British Legion.
One OF the jobs he has set for HIM
self is to fight hate. He says our
propagandists during the war did
their work too well. Many people
still have their wartime conceptions
of Germans.
I told him of a great American
editor / know who the day after the
irmistice said Of his men that from
hat time on Germans ceased to be
Huns and "Boches," but were
imply Germans again.
"That is splendid" said Sir an.
1T illustrates the point exactly.
II am striving by all the means In
NY power to show that the German
" today is entirely different than the
propaganda German of yesterday.
Ny audiences have been mainly vet
,rans of the war-men who went to
he front and suffered in what they
ully believed was a war to prevent
uluTS wars.
1.-THE fact that | was unanimously
