Grams Of World War No. / poured
into Kansas City today to attend
the cath annual convention of the
American Legion which opens to-
morrow
Although the city took on new

vention. due to the war About
1900 delegates are attending, the
largest number OF any Legion con-
yentiOn They represent. l.130,000
organized veterans Of the First
World War.
At least two important issues
confronted the delegates:
1.-The CONT oversial question Of
opening the American Legion mem
bership TO the millions OF service
men who will emerge from the pres.
ent war.
2-Resistance Of any movement
to again bring back prohibition.
Other matters to be considered
include the suggestion that the dues
of the 100000 Legionnaires now in
service be waived for the dura-
ton and the problem Of what &C
ton to take On electing officers IL
no convention is held next year.
The No issue, however, appar.
emily was the question of opening
up the Legion membership to the
present fighting men OF the armed
forces. lnasmuch as millions OF
men will fight for Uncle Sam in
this war their inclusion would
make the Legion the most powerful
American organization in the coun-
try.
Sentiment uf a vast majority OF
the Legion delegates seemed to he
in favor Of getting the present fight
ing men into the Legion. 4 big
question was. however. will the
younger fighting men want TO join
the Legion or will they prefer to
form their own organization?
