Bonus Army May Copy

Organizing of Khaki Shirts
Considered by Leaders
of B. {. F.

By Scripps-Howdrd NeUspa AHicacc
WASHINGTON, July 26.-For-

nation wide organization, with nom
veteran as we'll as veteran members,
comparable with the Fascist armies
of Mussolini and Hitler, is suggested
in this weeks issue of the B. E. F.
news sheets.
Many persons interested in the
new development of the B. E. F. al
ready have urged commander Waters
to give the movement a more strik-
ing solidarity by adopting as SYM
boil the khaki shirt" says the lead
article on the front page of the pa
per. THE plan is under considera-
ton, and decision will be an
nounced soon. Those who favor it
feel that it will be easy to organize
a million men, to be known as the
Khaki shirts.
LAS members of the Khaki Shirts,
both veterans and nOn-veterans
would form local units. These units
would be united into divisions or
corps areas, Then all would be
brought together into great ma
tional union.
Inevitably, such organization
brings up comparison with the
Fascist of Italy and the Nazi OF
Germany. For five years Hitler was
lampooned and derided. But today
he controls Germany. MuSSolinl,
before the war; was a tramp printer
driven from Italy because of his po-
litical views. But today he is a
world figure.
THE Khaki Shirts, however,
would be essentially American. It's
principles would be based on whole
hearted devotion to the best tradi-
tons of the nation, and deter
mination that the own-trodden
masses have justice
