meet Tuesday in the rooms of the
Washington Board of Trade Lieut..
Lineberg, chief of the Crime Preven-
ton Bureau and senior vice COM
mander of the District of Columbia
Department, and National Executive
/ Officer Kirby of the Disabled Ameri-

Villas H. Whaley, chairman of the
National Legislative Committee, has
advised Department Comdr. James
OConnor Roberts the legislative pro-
gram for the coming year has been
completed and urging the active sup
port of this department. The opening
OF Congress next month will find the
Legion lined up with a program COW
erlng four points, which have been
placed first on the list of objectives
for 1885 because it is believed they are
of a paramount importance to every
American citizen.
Announcement from the Capitol
that House bill No. l had been as
signed for the immediate payment of
the adjusted service certificate or
bonus" the Legion feels would be an
effective medium for carrying out the
Governments program for human re-
lief and business recovery without ad-
ding a dollar to the national debt
This is also the first point of the
Legion's program.
Tho i,t g
be Of interest to many residents of
the National Capital and members of
the veteran organization. 1t is ade-
quate protection for the widows and
orphans of World War veterans, who
should not be without Government
protection. This was the fourth point
OF last years program and as with
drawn at the time in favor of the
other three points which received the
approval OF Congress. 1t has been the
policy of the Government since 1886,
with only minor variations, to provide
care and protection for its disabled
veterans and the widows and depend
ant children of deceased veterans. The
widows and orphans of every other
war in the history of the United
States have received this protection.
Only the widows and orphans of the
World War are without it.
A permanent universal service act,
providing for the conscription of capi-
tai, industry and manpower in the
event Of war, and the use of each In
the service of the Nation without spe-
cial preference or profit, is the third
point. The fourth point, is an ade-
quate national defense, not to foster
war, but to assure peace and to af-
ford proper protection for the Nation,
resources, homes and fortunes if war
should take place. These comprise
the major activities of the Legion
next year.
Lincoln Post, No. IT, will meet to-
morrow night at o'clock in the Riggs
Bank Building, Fourteenth and Park

sion are: Membership and the chill
dren's Christmas party. The meet

tertainment.
