 the municipal authorities. The bodies of the dead and injured were carried into the exhibition grounds and King Victor immediately pro- ceeded to carry out his duties of opening the fair.
 King Remains Cool As soon as possible the injured were removed to the hospital. The king displayed wonderful coolness, showing anxiety not for himself but for the wounded and for the fam lilies of the victims.
 It was in order not to disa ppoint the organizers of the fair and the eA hibitors. particularly foreign eXhi- bitors, that he officiated at the in- augural ceremonies which were cut short.
 In front of the Argentine pavilion. after making a nasty inspection of the exhibits the king exclaimed: Now I feel my duty is elsewhere. I must so to the hospital" This recalled the utterance of his father. King Humbert, who having been invited to the officers ball at the Maneuvers camp at Pordenone. when news reached him that a thou sand persons were dead or dying of cholera at Naples. said: "At Por- denone they dance; at Naples they die. ] am going to Naples l King Humbert fell at the hands near Milan.
 When King Victor Emmanuel visited the hospital, he spoke to each Of the injured. expressing sym pathy. and saying hc would take a personal interest in their recovery. 1 On leaving the hospital. the king was greeted by an almost delirious dem onstration from the crowds which seemed unable 10 express suf- ficiently their joy at his escape. Most of the killed and injured were women and children, who were awaiting the coming of the king. A girl who stood near the lamppost had her head severed. The 1amppost was blown to fragments which. to- gcthcr with the slues contained in the bomb, were largely responsible for the slaughter.
 The king had arrived in the city about a half hour before the outrage and he was given an enthusiastic welcome, on his trip from the sta. tion to the royal palace, where ht was received by the Milan authori. ties. All the streets were crowded the school children being lined III behind cordons Of troops.
 Among the killed were five Of thu | the route. \ preliminary list Of tn wounded received at the militar. hospital contained the name of Pli Natc rietro Eatti. of the Fifth Alpin' regiment.

Render Public Service

"There is need of the spirit and
the will to render public service.
In it's efforts to carry the finest
war time spirit into peace time ser
vice the American Legion is do
ing much to meet that need" de-
clares the Austin Legion conven-
ton Americanism report, which
continues:
Something of the spirit and
will and purpose of the Legion is
expressed in more than 200 kinds
of community activities through
which it is rendering unselfish SER
vice throughout the nation. The
variety and volume of thes activi-
ties are such that new committees
are provided from time to time ia
specialize in certain fields.
"Recent examples of this de-
velopment in Minnesota are the
committees on junior baseball,
Ilife-saving, and conservation. But
even the every day activities such
as getting Legion members, form
ing bands and, drum corps, estab-
AioihiiS IVY oSOuG IIOVpo, are SOOU
Americanism."
The report outlines Legion aims
for national defense, emergency re.
lief such as rendered last week by
Austin Legionaires, citizenship
training through clubs, teaching OF
constitution facts, observation Of
patriotic holidays and encourage
ment of scouting. It concludes by
!, quoting President Joseph Lee, OF
Community Service, national or
ganization, who says:
1t is up to the American Lee
gion more than to any other group
of people to say what kind Of citi.
zens the growing boys shall be. The
rising generation will eat out OF
the hands of Legionaires. It will
be for the Legion to decide what
kind of moral sustenance they shall
receive. This responsibility can
be met by scouting"

Survey Minnesota's Resources


When Chairman A. A. Van
Dyke, of st. Paul, had announced
the recommendations of the Austin
Legion convention conservation
committee report, it was unani-
mously adopted. Conservation of
Minnesota's natural resources is
stressed and the plan followed in
Pennsylvania is cited as one which
the North Star State well might
follow in order to replenish its
dwindling stores of fish, game and
forest.
The report says: "Your conven-
ton conservation committee recon-
mends that Legion support be Civ
en- legislation looking toward soil
survey of Minnesota's cut-over
lands to insure prospective settlers
the best of tillable soil; we should
seek a typographical survey of the
state, a statewide survey of
streams with reference to pollution
by Industrial and domestic waste
and encouragement of establishing
more fish hatcheries and Hoover
bass ponds.
owe recommend that the next
Legislative session make a suffi-
cient appropriation to continue
and complete the survey and class
ification of all state lands; and we
recommended that legislation be
enacted putting in force the Penn
sylvania conservation plan which,
while costing the people nothing,
has constantly increased game, fish
and other natural resources in the
Keystone state since it's adoption
through the purchase of $4,000
acres of land from hunting license
fees, which land has been set aside
for propagation of forests, game
and wild life. We ask the incom-
ing Legion state commander to APP
point a committee on conservation
to contact public officials and citi-
zens and spread an understanding
of what the Pennsylvania Plan can
do for Minnesota"
