# each war orphan into the home OF
m American family that will give
genuine home love, care and upbring.
Legion members will be favored
among those applying to adopt these
children and each foster home will
be carefully investigated.
To meet the question of immediate
care, the Legion is building a series
Of "billets," as they are called, or
cottage groups where children can
be cared for in home-like surround
fngs until such time as offers may
be made for their adoption. The first
of these billets is now operating at
Otter Lake, Michigan, and a second
will soon be opened in New Jersey.
Bilets in Tennessee, Kansas and one
in the far west are planned and land
for the first two has been given.
Much Local Work Done
There will probably be a limited
formed locally
number of these homes, because much
of the Legion child welfare work is
performed locally by the posts of the
Legion, and children are cared for
without being sent to the billets.
The Legion also co-operates with the
many excellent welfare agencies al
ready existing, in order to avoid du-
plication and to strengthen the work
Of child care.
National Commander James A.
Drain of the Legion, who is leading
The new effort for care of every war
orphan, said in a recent address at
Salt Lake City:
After all that we have done for
saving children in Europe, We find Il
definite and serious need right here
at home among the orphans of our
American fighting men. That need
is, of course, very sacred trust.
Not one Of these children must be al
lowed to grow up homeless, in pow
erty or in vicious surroundings. The
Legion has already tackled the pro-
blem, and while meeting the emer
gency by more or less hand to
mouth method of financing, we are
also establishing The American Lee
gion Endowment Fund of five mil
lion dollars, which will make certain
that this work is not left to chance.
Fair Chance Demanded
Every one of these children Of an
American soldier shall have as fair
and square chance in life as if his
father had not fallen in battle for
America. The war has opened up
this new sector in the farflung bat
tie line of child welfare. Into this
new sector The American Legion
throws its force of 1000 posts, and
The American Legion Auxiliary OF
women its $500 units. We will hold
the line against poverty, disease
vice and crime, the natural enemies
of neglected childhood. The motto
of the Legion in this task will be "A
home for every homeless child of a
veteran It must be a frst-class
American home, with education and
loving care as good as the parents
if living would provide for their child
or such a home as the parents, dying,
would have approved for their loved
ones"

AMERICA FACES WORLD WAR
ORPHAN PROBLEM OF HER OWN

America has war orphan problem
of her own.
Six years after the World War,
and after a billion and half OF
American dollars have gone to re-
lieve suffering and starvation abroad,
the Child Welfare Committee of The
American Legion reported on Janu-
airy /, 1925, There are 5000 child
rem today in the United States, or
phans of men killed in the World
War, who need immediate help to
secure for them decent homes, proper
education, and fair chance in life. "
The Legion survey shows that
about $4,000 American children lost
their fathers directly in the war SER
vice. Many other fathers, disabled
by wounds, disease or "shell shock"
are dying or permanently helpless
TO care for their families. In a GER
tain proportion of cases the mothers
of these children have also died. The
total of American war orphans and
"half-orphans" is large, and is con-
stantly growing. Of that total the
Legion child welfare report indicates
the majority are being we'll cared for
in good homes. 1t is the needy 5000
who constitute the immediate pro-
blem.
Steps Already Taken
Having discovered the extent of
this problem, it appears that the Lee
gion is already taking steps to meet
the situation. It's basis of action is
a determination to see that every
war orphan shall have as good a
home and as fair chance in life as it
could have had but for The fact that
of its father giving his life for his
country. The Legion national child
welfare problem calls for preserv-
ing the natural home if one parent
survives and is at all capable of
maintaining a home, with reasonable
outside help. If no home is possible

plan is to arrange for the adoption

Friction Between Dempsey
and Kearns Delays
Wills Bout
By DAVIS j. WALSH,
International News Service Sports
Editor,

E0lCOfo
NEW YORK, April 4.-Strained
relations, which are pretty gener-
ally admitted to exist between the
members Of the firm OF Dempsey
and Kearns, have prevented the
signing Of the champion to meet
Harry Wills this summer, 1t was
declared by friends Of the pair to-
day. This statement was offered
MS an excuse for Kearns giving
Wills proposition the wide detour
when the New York Athletic Com.
mission issued an ultimatum on
the subject and later declared
Dempsey ineligible until further
notice.
Kearns, they declare. remained
inactive in the face Of these de-
velopments for two reasons: First,
because he doesn't care about hav-
ing his hand forced; second, and
most important, because he is not
certain that Dempsey will fight for
him and doesn't want his authority
publicly flouted.
Kearns' departure for the West
yesterday is said to have been has
tened by this condition of uncer-
taipty. The tip is that he Is on
his way to Dempsey to lay his
cards on the table and ask the
champion to do the same. What
he may have learned OF the plans
Of Richard, Henderson DeForest,
Curley and other possible promoters
Of the Wills enterprise will be out
lined to Dempsey in detail and a
showdown requested.
To -
blanket sanction to sign with the
highest bidder, Kearns will then
return East and accept the Wills
challenge. II not, the inactivity
OF recent weeks will be prolonged
until such time as the champion
is ready to make known his plans
for the immediate future.
AT least, this Is the good word;
passed along for what it might be
worth by those in the confidence
Of both men
1t is significant that in the wake
of Kearns' departure the rumor
has been revived that Mickey
Walker. welterweight champion
and the best drawing card outside
Of Dempsey, will join forces with
Kearns. This time, 1t is intimated
that the only thing that holds up
an official confirmation Of the
deal is Kearns' fear that he may
offend Dempsey's dignity, although
the champions in question are the
best of friends.
Therefore, the question Of pos
stble jealousy on the part Of Demp-
sey doesn't enter into the ques-
ton. 1t is merely a case Of Demp.
sey wanting Kearns' entire atten.
ton and it is generally understood
that he Is entitled to no less. He
pays Kearns exactly one-half Of
what he earns in the ring, the
most generous cut manager ever
got.
That fact, as much as anything
else, has contributed to the exist
ing unrest in the Dempsey camp.
