headquarters, destruction by fire Of

GREED STILES
IDEALS, LEGION
LEADER WARNS
Howard P. Savage. National
Legion Commander, Gives
Decennial Message

Boston, Mass. April <G, @.-The
ideals which led the United States
to war against Germany ten years
ago today "have been lost in the
abundance of wealth and rush Of
amusement" which followed termina-
tion Of the conflict, Howard r. Saw
age, national commander of the
American Legion. declared in a mos
sage to the nation today.
"On this day a decade ago the
United States declared itself at war;"
Savage said.
"Then. with no thought Of ageres.
sion, with no wish to profit. our
nation threw itself into the greatest
conflict Of history to vindicate our
national ideals and to defend what
we believed to be the rights of man.
Set Tremendous Pace
''ln ten years since that time we
have lived at a tremendous pace.
We have created wealth on a scale
never before approached. We have
enjoyed life richer in material
things than any other people ever
knew. We may we'll stop and take
stock as to what moral progress we
have made since that time.
ut would seem, in taking a bal
ance, that these ideals of ten years
ago have been lost in the abund-
ance of wealth and rush Of amNse-
ment which dominated the after
the-war spirit. The pure spirit OF
unselfish service which animated us
in 1917 and 1918 has been lost in the
search for material prosperity, for
getting in that search our moral
obligations.
Find New Inspiratioa
THAT we Of the Legion may re-
imb0e ourselves with the ideals which
caused Us to don the uniform ten
years ago, we are going back to
France this year. We shall stand
beside the graves Of the comrades,
men who died with this true spirit
Of unselfishness ablaze within them.
There. ] know, we shall find the
flame Of Americas 'ideslism still
burning. l know we shall find again
the inspiration to help return to true
patriotism and the love Of country
which is sure to come.
With it will come 4 march Of
ideals and thoughts. . march back
to the fundamentals Of citizenship
which actuated those who lJ0 years
ago laid the foundation for the soenr-
ity. peace and happiness wAich "
Americans now enjoy."

Boston, April 6.-(P-Unusual pre-
cautions were taken today to guard
members of the supreme judicial
court of Massachusetts, who yester-
day without dissent, denied new
trial in the internationally celebrated
case Of Nicola SaccO and BartOlemeo
Vanzetti, socialists convicted as
slayers.
Guards were posted about the resi-
dence of Justice William Gushing

Of Judge Webster Thayer, who pre-
sided ut the trial, as we'll rs in the
vicinity of the homes Of other men,
bers Of the court.
At the Pemberton Square court
house special officers were armed at
once. and persons not known to have
business near chambers in which
members of the court were sitting,
were placed under careful scrutiny.
Electrocution Mandatory
Sentence to electrocution is manda-
tory, but no time for imposition Of
sentence has been fixed.
The possibility that means might
be found of carrying an appeal to the
United States supreme court, was
apparently the last legal move in the
battle which has been waged at the
expense of hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars by u volunteer defense COM

there will be an appeal to Governor
Fuller for Communication.
Sacco, who is in Norfolk county
Jail, and Vanzetti, who is serving a
