L
cans rejoiced in the news that there
had come an ending to the carnage
of war and that the slaughter of the
sons of America in the great world
struggle was at an end. No time in
the memory of those now alive had
been marked by such a demonstration
of Joy: ~
five years after that eventfCl day,
there is rejoicing in the hearts of the
people. The general note is of that
tenor. and since Memorial day, May
80. has for years been officially set
apart as time of memorial for the
martial dead of the nation, 1T is fit
ting that this note of happiness
should prevail
TT is the privilege of the members
of the American Legion in the District
of Columbia to pause in that general
demonstration and render tribute to
the dead of the world war principally
because today marks the second an
niversary of the burial at Arlington
of the unknown soldier dead, cere-
monial that will live forever in
American chronicles.
mo person breads a terrible thing
so much as the one who has been a
victim of its fearsome effects, and the
result is that when members of the
American Legion assemble this after
noon at Arlington for the memorial
service there in honor of the un-
known dead. the wish that will be
uppermost in all minds is one for
continued peace and happiness to be
unmarried by the disasters of war and
its horrors.
'It is particularly significant that
the members of the American Legion
should have this appreciation of the
real significance of the Armistice day
celebration. The membership of the
organization represents those who
bore the greatest burden of the war
of which the day marked the termi-
nation.
"The best thought of the American
Legion is given to things for the gen.
eral good. 1t has suffered the criti-
cism of being selfish in it's aims and
purposes Vet the activities today at

Chances Slim for Passage of Wine
and Beer Resolution in
CONGRESS
Congress

One OF the most widely advertised
acts of New York's new governor is
his seeking to have the state legis-
lative body memorialize Congress
to so modify the Volstead Act as to
permit the sale of beer and wine.
Although a resolution to that effect
was adopted by the state senate, it
failed at first of passage in the
assembly, and was referred to the
judiciary committee. Some weeks
ago, it is said, Congressman Rior.
dan, personal friend of the govern
or, was asked what would happen
to such resolution, if passed by
the legislature as a whole and
presented to congress. His reply
was brief and to the point:
Nothing at all. 1t will go first
to the Judiciary Committee and
will be placed on file. The Judi.
ciary is dry. the Rules Committee
is dry, the House is dry and the
Senate is twice as dry as the House

The American Legion's appeal
for contributions to 2 100000

annual decoration of the graves Of

one froLI which no American could
turn aside by James l.. Feizer,
national vice chairman of the
American Red Cross, who recently
visited Legion national headquarters
in indianapolis.
A donation to the Legions Graves

much comment at national head

These men gave their best of the

dropped it into a tin wafer can, slit
in the top. When the can was
opened it was found to contain
SIS in nickels dimes and quarters.
Accompanying the contribution
was the following poem:
