AMERICAN
LEGION
FIGHTING JOE" is
NATIONAL CHAPLAIN

Fighting Joe" is the title which
mas been bestowed by general consent
on Rev. Joseph Lonergan of Durand,
ILL.,, recently elected national chaplain
OF the American Legion. And the title
is not airy tinsel, either. It has a
background.
For it harks back to kid DAYS when
as boy with two fists who knew
how to use them and Father Joe
sometimes found employment for
them in ways other than earning
money by working on railroad tracks
to go to college. The story goes back
to the time when he was a famous
Football star, "the miracle halfbackr
at st. Viator's college.
The nickname recalls a baseball ca
reer eliminating in batting average
Tor his last year of .448, rather a big
league average. 1t carries a picture
OF Father Joe, the ecclesiastical stu

MANY POSTS AFTER
MEMBERSHIP HONORS

American Legion posts throughout
tive for some weeks In signing up
members in advance for 1925, accord
ing to Frank E. Samuel, national d.
rector of organization and member
ship. Posts have been tumbling over
themselves to claim honors for early
membership returns. Never before
has there been such contest and
such a scramble for recognition in
this work, it is declared.
First dues for 1925 were received
by national headquarters from Joe
Williams post at Farmer City, H.,
which had signed up IA men for 1925
by the first of October. The first post
in the country to sign up more MEM
bers for 1925 than it had had in 1924
and to send the dues to national head
quarters was Victor Cornell post, Peli-
can Rapids, MINI. Fowler post, Fow-
Ter, Ind, the home post Of Thomas s.
Mcconnell, department commander
for 1925, was close second. Other
posts which were among the first to
go over the top In this hot contest
were Pulaski post, Detroit, Mich, and
Roy Cole post, Grand Ledge, Mich.
The Florida and Connecticut de-
partments are staging contest to
see which will have the larger per-
centage of 1924 membership signed
up for 1925 by the time the bells ring
out on New Years eve. Florida sug-
gests that the losing department buy
the delegates and alternates of the
winning outfit a big dinner at the
Omaha convention of the Legion next
year.
Florida appears to be looking for
something. That department won
only three of the big Legion prizes
offered at the 1924 convention. They
carried home the trophies for the
largest percentage of membership
signed up by March / over the pre-
cc1ing years membership, for the
II gest percentage signed up for the
year over the preceding years total
and that for the largest number of
man miles Travelled to the national
convention at ST. Paul. Florida sure
ly basked in the limelight.
Colorado, Utah and Wyoming Gre
mixing things in little friendly
rivalry, Western style. The winner
is to be the department which signs
up for 1925 the largest percentage Of
its 1924 membership and will receive
stand of department colors present
ed by the losers.

Then comes the time when Father
Joe took up his work with the Eighty
sixth division organizing at Camp
Grant. He was without military
status and without salary, but he car
ried on. While there he lectured to
all officers at Camp Grant on the ne
cessity of religion. Shortly afterward
he got commission as first lieuten-
ant chaplain, and began his extraordi-
nary activity in the fighting game. 1t
was he who spoke at Camp Grants
greatest day, July A, 1918, when he
s addressed $4,000 of the division gath
cred there. A sentence stood out,
which was flashed over the country I:
"a man never became a man until
he got good punch on the nose"
Then the Argonne and the Vosges
Father Joe says that when the shoot.
ing was close he became Dugout Joe,
but the boys don't say that. They
think he's all man. The chaplain re-
organized a band for the Twelfth en-
gineers, "the band with personality"
chosen by the French mission to &C
company them when they took over
Alsace and Strassburg from the Ger
mans. He was transferred to the
Ninetieth division and remained
with them until he was discharged.
Membership in the American Legion
followed soon and then his election
as department chaplain for Illinois in
1922. In 1924 he was unanimously
named national chaplain. That's the
story of "Fightin' Joe" Lonergan,
whose record at the front with the
men endeared him to all veterans and
makes him a very popular padre"
