LEGION SUPPORTS
. CO0L|DGE'S VIEWS
Drain Replies to Suggestion
That Peace Be Emphasized
on Armistice Day.

President Coolidge today made
public a letter from James A. Drain,
national commander of the American
Legion, who assured him that your
sentiments" as to the observance of
Armistice day are the sentiments of
the legion.
Mr.. Drains letter was in reply to a
communication from the President,
who suggested that the legion en-
phasize the need of peace in it's Ar
mistice day celebration.
The legion desires peace, it's COM
mander wrote. and Strives for peace
as it's opportunities for acquainting
itself with the alternative of peace
have been exceptional"
Hopes for Arms Parley.
Mr.. Drain said the legion lis doing
what 1t can to advance the day when
armaments may be reduced and hopes
that its labors may help to hasten
the time when a convention Of the
powers will be called to reduce all
military establishments But until
that day does come the legion will
insist that the United States take
steps OF its own to put war and the
prospect of war more remote.
TO this end" he continued 1.-The
legion has long advocated and will
press for enactment at the coming
session OF Congress, Of what is popu-
larly known as the universal draft
bill, which would place on all citi-
zens an equal obligation in war by
utilization through the Government
OF man power to fight, man power to
work, factory power to produce, and
money power to finance. This is peace
measure, because it t~places the bur-
dens OF war equally upon all citizens
1t is preparedness measure because
1t provides the Nation with the
means for defending itself with a
maximum of efficiency and minimum
OF costs.
Wants World Court.
THE legion believes there will
never be lasting peace until we have
justice between nations, and that this
competent world court. 1t will put
forth all efforts to attain this
Until an international concord is
attained for the reduction of arma-
ments and the adjudication of contro-
versies on the principles of justice,
the United States must maintain a
Navy the equal of any in the world,
a small but competent Army capable
or quick expansion, adequate air
forces. National Guard and adequate
reserve forces for air, land and sea
duty. Furthermore, industry must
be kept currently informed and pre-
pared in peace time for it's emergency
obligations
The legion will emphasize on Ar
mistice day the substance Of your
words that humanity has more rea-
son for unity than for discord'"

near-gale winds and coming at a

tinderlike condition. forest fires were
raging at widely divergent points in
Kentucky today.
Volunteer fire fighters at Irvine,

were reported to be ablaze, early to-
day had succeeded in completing a
belt of plowed ground around 700
crude oil tanks, and thus apparently
flames reaching 10,500,0o0 gallons of
oil in storage.
Seven houses in that section had
been destroyed and guards were
watching to prevent sparks from the
fires starting blazes in Irvine and the
adjacent town of Ravenna.

In western Kentucky Mclean Coun-
ty was hard hit, a number of farm
houses and buildings had been de-
stroyed, the towns of Island and Sac

lieved under control after having
swept an area three by six miles and
causing heavy damage to orchard,
