Support of Poppy Sale
to Honor Heroes Urged
Appeal to City Issued by
National President of
Legion Auxiliary.

An appeal to Indianapolis to sup
port the annual poppy sale of the
American Legion Auxiliary Satur-
day was made today by Mrs. Irene
Mcintyre Walbridge, national presi-
dent from headquarters here.
The appeal:
Memorial day, when we honor
the men who have died for America,
also brings thoughts of the thou
sands of disabled men who are still
struggling under the burden of war
wounds and sickness.
more than $1,000 World War vet
Grams today are in Government
hospitals and the number outside
of the hospitals, who with weak
ened bodies, are striving to re-
establish themselves in life, is vastly
larger.
Tighten Loads of Vacation
"And for nearly every disabled
man there is some one, an aged
father or mother, wife, child, who
must bear part of the handicap of
dis disability
THE American Legion auxiliary is
endeavoring in every way possible
to tighten the load of these living
victims of the war.
Through its $500 units, located in
cities and towns throughout the
country, it is working to bring re-

families in distress, to secure Gov
eminent aid for them, to give them
employment, to help the mothers
hold their families together and to
see that the children are not denied
a fair start in life
1.-THE chief financial support of
this vast relief program comes from
the sale of the Memorial day poppy.
Each year the poppy sale brings
more than half million dollars into
the welfare funds of the auxiliary
departments and units
Serve Living, Honor Dead
"This is in addition to the fifty or
sixty thousand dollars which are
paid each year to the disabled men
who make peoples. The amount of
distress which is prevented by these
little red flowers of remembrance
is inestimable
There is no finer way Of honor
ing the dead than by serving the
living. The wearing of the Me-
mortal day poppy marks the wearer
as one who has forgotten neither
the dead who gave their all for
America, nor the disabled who gave
so much of that which makes life
worth living"

8 Dead, $50 in Hospitals as
Result of Mishap in

HAMBURG, Germany, May o.
The combination of two forces of
nature today had checked the
threat of great disaster in the we'll
populated Vedder labor district
where quantity of deadly phosgene
gas escaped from a container.
A friendly wind sent the gas cloud
carrying possibility of death to
anyone close to it-safely away from
the more thickly settled parts of the
towns.
A steady rain beat down for sew
eral hours and dissipated the fumes
that menaced some 10000 of the
city's residents. Rain and the wind
we're able to give more aid than the
ammonia guns that police, troops
and firemen used.
$50 in Hospitals
However, eight persons were re-
ported dead today while it was said
$50 were in hospitals suffering from
poisoning. Many of those in hos
pitfalls we're not expected to live.
Only about nine cubic meters OF

suburb. However, chemists have
found that a half gram of the gas

Gent to kill a person who breathes

Many of the Hamburg residents
had known of the disastrous re-
suits of gas from the war days.
Consequently when the residents
learned the air was filled with the
fumes of this one time war imple-
ment, there was panic.
Masks Sent By Plane
More than 10000 persons rushed
from their homes, some collapsing
ir the streets, while police urged
complete withdrawal from the mosi
highly affected zones. Firemen and
ReichsWehr troops fought against
the fumes with ammonia guns.
Some hremen and some police were
overcome.
One group was said to have been
able to check the flow of gas from
the container, but not until after
special phosgene gas masks had
arrived. Some of these were sent
by airplane from Berlin.
