LICAN DECEPTION

Washington d, c., Oct. 1.-The Re
nublican Bureau is making political
capital out of a list Of American Le- |
gion posts and commanders given the
War Department in confidence by the
Legion for use in mailing out bonus
insurance information, according to a
report appearing today in STARS and
Stripes" the independent veterans
publication.
The report states that eX-service
men are greatly aroused" over the
use of the list for sending cut Cool
idge propaganda, and that Legion Of
fcials assisted in a survey of the
centers of soldier population, which Is
also being used.
Stripes" which had its origin in the
trenches as the soldiers paper over
seas. SAYS in another article that Sen
ator La Toilette will demand a cash
bonus for the ex-service men instead
of the insurance sheme which he calls
a hoax.
The article says in part:
"Ex-service men opposed to Presi-
dent Coolidge say the list is used for
political purposes, and they are high
~ incensed. They say the propaganda
is prepared under the direction of the
Republican committee and distributed
by another agency
Political parties have before at
tempted to obtain a list of Legion
Posts, but have never succeeded. In
1920 the National Convention ruled
the list should be given to no one
without permission Of the National
Executive Committee. Since then
only two lists have been given out;
one to the Veterans Bureau and the
other to the War Department.
"The present list was given to the
War Department shortly after the en-
actment of the Adjustment Compen-
sation Act this summer. Russell G
Creviston, National Adjutant, notified
the departments to revise their lists
and send them to Washington with
the names Of the ost Commanders OF
Adiutants. In addition the Posts fur

on the river road between Gardiner
and South Gardiner when car
driven by Calvin Bunker of this city
left the road and plunged over a
fifteen foot embankment. landing
upside down with Mr.. Bunker and Il
young lady passenger under the
auto. The car landed with the rad
iator upon a large stone which kept
it clear from the ground and the
only injuries received by either one
of the occupants of the car was a
dislocated knee and two slightly
fractured ribs suffered by young
Bunker.
The accident occurred as the car
was descending a steep hill, at n
sharp curve which is not protected
by rail. Something about the
steering gear gave away, allowing
the car to swerve toward the side
of the road. 1t then changed its
direction and rolled to the other side
of the road and over the embank
ment, the radiator striking the
trunk of a tree as it fell so that the
car rolled over and landed upon the
top and windshield which were both
smashed. The only other damage
to the auto was crushed mudguards.
