AMERICAN LEGION
ENDOWMENT FUND
DRIVE UNDER WAY

Helena, Montana, May 3O.-"Mon
tana is ready to hear the appeal Of
the American Legion for the two
greatest classes of World War suffer
ers-disabled men and the orphans OF
fallen veterans" declared N. j. Gill.
land, commander Of the Montana de-
partment of the Legion.
The American Legion campaign for
$5,000,000 endowment fund for re-
Mobilization and child welfare, which
is going on throughout the nation, is
now under way in Montana. 1t will
eliminate in an intensive drive prob
ably about the last of June.
The endowment fund movement in
Montana will be headed by Albert j..
Galen, of Helena, associate justice Of
the state supreme court, who has &C.
cepted the Craftsmanship of the state
endowment fund committee. The state
committee will include a number Of
other prominent Montana citizens and
will parallel the national endowment
committee of which President Cool
idge is chairman. Justice Galen serv-
ed as lieutenant-colonel during the
war. He was formerly attorney gen.
eral of Montana for two terms.
The raising Of Montana's $4,000
quota will be the immediate objective
of the endowment fund work in the
state and organization of local COM
mittees in every city and county will
be begun at once, Commander Gill
land stated. In explaining the need
and purpose Of the fund, he said:
Fifteen veterans of the World War
are dying every day. Fifteen yester-
day, fifteen tomorrow and fifteen the
next day. Many of them. die without
knowledge Of the great machinery
erected in the Veterans Bureau for
their help. 1t became and continues to
be the duty OF the Legion to find them,
take them to the bureau and arrange
for temporary care and permanent
cure before it is too late.
while America has been generous
" aiding the orphans of other coun-
ries the people have not been told
nat we have war orphan problem of
lur own. Today, according to Vet
rams Bureau figures, there are 10000
orphans of fallen veterans in this
country. Five thousand of these help
less children need some care and hum
dreds of them are desperate, emery
ency cases which we must aid at once.
by helping them now, we save them
from being punished because their
fathers died in the country's service.
'The American Legion has been
working for these two classes of war
victims with what means it had avail
able. Now it has become imperative
that fund be established to place this
work on an enlarged and permanent
basis, am sure Montana will gen
erously support this great cause. We
did our share in the war and | know
we will do our share for its conse-
quences."

president of the United States, for two
consecutive terms, passed away quietly
in his room at the Willard Hotel in
the Nations capital Monday from a
heart attack. Mr.. Marshall was taken
sick upon his return from a trip to
Indiana and it was thought he was re-
covering when he Unexpectedly died
while reading favorite passage from
the bible and smoking cigar in bed,
after eating his breakfast with an en-
joyment that impressed those about
him that he was regaining his health.
Mrs. Marshall was in an adjoining
room, Mr. Marshall laid his bible down,
face downward, dropped his cigar and
fell back dead, apparently without any
pain.

ington Tuesday, the highest officials

olis. Funeral services are being held

graduated from college at the age of
10, and was admitted to the bar on his
twenty first birthday. He proved to
be very successful lawyer in Column
bia City, Indiana and apparently
seemed to be without political ambi-
tion until it was thrust upon him by
his nomination for governor of In
diana and again later when he was
selected as President Wilson's running
mate in 1912 and 1916.
He was loyal supporter Of Wood
row Wilson and will be remembered
chiefly for conceded fairness of his
rulings, his bubbling wit, direct man.
ner of expression and for the biting
rebukes he administered to senators
who insisted upon taking themselves
too seriously.
Mr.. Marshall continued to be an
easy-going citizen to the end despite
his rapid rise to fame and was one Of
the most interesting figures of his
time in American public life.
MIR. Marshall's administration as
Governor of Indiana was character
lied by large number Of common
dAble policies Of legislation and among
them was the enactment of legislation
looking to the moral and physical vel
fare Of the states unfortunates.
He married Miss Lois | Kimsey Of
Angola, Ind. in 1895 and she always
accompanied him on his lecture trips
and campaigns.
Mr.. Marshall's immensely friendly
life was deeply conferred about young
adopted son who died at the age of
ten years and his death caused one of
the greatest sorrows in Mr.. Marshall's
life.
Mr.. Marshall was student Of the
Bible and was always greatly inter-
ested in educational, charitable and
church work. He was Presbyterian,
an active thirty-third degree Mason
and held the honorary degree from

well as being a member of several
ether fraternities.

Second, practically all bank
