a The annual national drive for mem
hers for the American legion starts to-
morrow. Fred Hilburn post number IL,
of Douglas, is to make a great drive
this year. as it is estimated that 80
per cent of the ex-service men in this
district do not belong to the organ
ization. In connection with this drive
for members the post is conducting an
educational program to educate the
community, both ex-service men and
others, as to what the American legion
stands for, what it is doing and what
it intends to do.
The legion was started in Paris
France, in 1919. After that number
of conferences were held in different
large cities in the United. States and at
national convention held at Mime
apolis in November of 1919, the consti-
tuition and bylaws were adopted.
The legion is an organization OF

REAL ESTATE IS
MOVING IN CITY
OWNERS REPORT

Rental property and real estate
generally, in Douglas is looking up
according to local real estate deal
ers and property owners. The rent
ing of houses has come to be q
matter that takes not more than one
CT two days, while a few months
ago a house had to be extensively
advertised to get q tenant for it
Real estate men report that the
raising of rents has caused q gen
eral readjustment of conditions oil
over the city.
class of people have come here
in response to the national adver-
tising campaign who are willing
ana able to rent the best class of
houses in the city and with the
raise of rents many permanent resi-.
dents who are renters have secured
houses further from the center OF
town at a lower rental so that
there has been an epidemic of NOV
ing.
/! Furnished houses are at a premium
and unfurnished houses are renting
! rapidly, the realtors report. They
point out that the city at present
/ has reached climax between stop,
I ping growth, because there are no
! homes in which to house more peo-
| pie, or continuing growth, building.
| The situation has already started
| mild building boom but so rar only
small ventures have been started.
! The realtors are not worried about
growth stopping. They state that
| such situation has developed in
every city that ever grew and that
1 a natural adjustment meets the sit
uation. When g man cannot rent
! a home or buy one that is already
! built he manager to build one for
himself and if he has extra funds
he realizes that there is an oppor-
tunity and builds other homes to
rent or sell to other people.
The classified columns Of the Dis
patch are a barometer on condiU
! tions also When times were dull
and the city was not filled with
people, advertisements for rental
property ran for several days with
cut being cancelled, while at the
present time a classified advertise
ment for furnished house for rent
seldom runs more than one or two
! times when the advertiser calls to
say that he has rented the property
and does not want the advertise
run any longer.
In this connection also the con-
stantly changing list Of properties
for rent and for sale indicates the
steady movement of real estate.
| Places being sold are rof the more
! moderate sort and there have been
few deals for fine homes but there
i is a steady trend toward buying
homes and the owner who wants to
sell is finding that sales are not
hard provided a payment plan "like
rent" is used.

has no recognition in the legion. All
members of legion rank exactly the
same except as they may be duly
elected to office in that organization.
Amount or class of service while in the
war has no bearing. in the legion ex-
cept as a man may be recognized as
having done his bit
The purpose Of the legion is service,
to the community, state and nation"
said John A. Weiss, commander of the
local post.
The legions first concern is for the
disabled veterans Of the World war. A
national rehabilitation committee, with
general offices in Washington and
| field men at strategic points over the
country, is maintained. The committee
| is in close liaison with the United
States veterans bureau and is the cen
ter of nationwide system of assist
| ing veterans in getting their claims
adjusted. 1t is assisted on technical
questions of care and cure by an ad-
visory council of leading medical and
surgical experts.
/ Nearly every legion post in the
/ country maintains an employment
/ bureau or has committee whose busi-
ness it is to aid service men in finding
employment. In the troubles of 1921
1922 the legion national organization
( found positions for 100000 service men
and temporary work for 100000 more.
1t is estimated that total of million
dollars has been spent for relief of
! jobless veterans
/ The legion is supporting as its legis-
lative program proposed law for a
I universal draft, bill to retire disabled
! emergency army officers on the same
status as regular officers, amendments
i to the adjusted compensation act and
8 much legislation to aid the disabled
!, men and to make more just the many
4 provisions already made into law.
4 All legislation so far enacted for the
benefit of the disabled service men has
been supported by the legion. The
] army reorganization bill of 1920 was a
legion bill and adequate national de-
4 fense is legion standard.
Il Every legion post is a service bureau
+ for ali ex-service men. In case OF
death the legion will take up all ques-
tions OF settling claims due from the
government and if necessary will ar
range for caring for dependent chill
dren
Dues to the legion are not high. The
Douglas post dues are SIS q year. This
covers department and national assess
ments and entities the member to the
American legion weekly. The portion
of dues going to the national organiza-
tion carry on the work of the great
program that has been outlined.
The legion has an endowment fund
of $5,O00,000 which is held in trust by
a corporation specially organized to
handle this fund and the fund is held
intact. The income from it is devoted
to the rehabilitation and child welfare
work.

Polish Jews Only Got
500 of Money Raised
In the United States

Denying that he had used the word
stolen" in connection with the SUBJ
ject, Max D. Steuer yesterday re-
iterated his charges that only so per
cent of the money raised in the
United States for relief work among
the Jews of Poland reached it's proper
destination up to two years ago.
"The exchanges were so manipu-
lated on the other side that at least
40 per cent of the money was con-
sumed before single dollar was
distributed to any person for whom it
was intended" he declared.
Steuer explained that DR.. Greene
baum Of the Polish Parliament told
him that even the money reaching
Poland "was not used according to
the best and most approved methods,
but that it was used to give relief
that was entirely temporary in its
nature"
Replying to Louis Marshall of the
funds distributing committee, who
criticized him for making the
charges, Steuer said he had no apol-
ogy to make to anyone.
