After having thoroughly investigated

it "not conducive to the convalesence

treated properly. The sanitarium will

believe that if we love our country
we should be willing to live for it as
we were and are ready to die for it.
We wish to give all we have to our
community, our state, and our nation.
"Having done our duty in time of
war, and having returned to civilian
life, we wish to join the great army
of citizens at home and take our place
in the sun. We are trying to find the
great highway of service, "for the high
soul travels on the highway, and the
low soul gropes in the low, and some-
where in between in the misty flats
the rest drift to and fro.”
"Legionnaires believe that by
being organized, former service men
can better serve their country. The
value of organisation is well illus-
trated by the story of the old negro
who learned to crack a whip. Driving
along behind his old mule one day, his
little boy said: ’Pappy, crack that
leaf over there.’ And the darky crack-
ed his whip and the leaf snapped.
Then the boy said: 'Pappy. crac that
hole in the fence.’ And pappy cracked
the hole in the fence. A little further
on the boy said: ’Pappy. crack that
hornets’ nest.’ No, suh; I aint a-goin’
to crack no hornets’ nest—dey‛s or-
ganized!' So is the American Legion,
for the welfare of its members, its
disabled and unemployed comrades,

try.”

OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 19.- For the
first time in its history the American
Legion has gone to court to defend its
name.
An alleged statement that the Legion
is "an organisation of trained murder-
ers opposed to organized labor” forms
the basis of a suit to collect $100,000
damages against F. H. Shoemaker, filed
in the courts here by the Legion de-
partment of Nebraska through William
Ritchie Jr., its commander.
Shoemaker is quoted as having made
the statement in a speech before a
butchers* union local here. Questioned
by the Legion commander, Shoemaker
denied the statement, but according to
Ritchie’s charges, declared that the
Legion "has created labor disturb-
ances in which men were killed”; that
the Legion ’is subsidized by big busi-
ness and the packers have contributed
to it," and that the ex-service men
“are opposed to organized labor.”
These statements, Ritchie charges,
are “wicked, malicious and false,” and
his suit is to “stop such contemptible
lies and show union labor that we
resent charges of being opposed to
them.”
Shoemaker says he is not a member
of any union. His army record shows
he was discharged after six daya’ ser-
vice.
The step of the Legion commander
is commended by George L. Berry,
Nashville, Tenn., president of the In-
ternational Printing Pressmen’s Union
and himself a World War veteran, in
a telegram to labor leaders here, and
Dennis Lane, secretary of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen, Chicago. Berry also re-
quests that the union officials issue a
statement and. "take necessary addi-
tional action to nail the unjustifiable
action and statements of Shoemaker
or such others as may be engaged in
similar practices.”

More than 250,000 war vetreans will
be insane by December, 1926, unless
something constructive in mental hy-

clared. "The national committee for
mental hygiene,” Mr. Chamberlain said
"estimates that 3,000 ex-service men go
insane every month. There are prob-
ably 160,000 insane veterans in the
country now."

countries, the veterans’ societies in
this period have been developing much
on the same principles as those of the
American Legion. In England the con-
solidation of the important veterans’
societies to form the British Legion
was a step that will facilitate the
activities of the international society.
In France, the merging of the im-
portant French veterans’ societies to
form La Legione Francais is now in
sight, largely as a result of the Ameri-
can Legion’s tour of France last au-
tumn.
The perfecting of the Interallied Vet-
erans’ Federation was one of the
strongest purposes of the late National
Commander Galbraith. At the time of
his death he was engaged in carrying
out plans by which the Legion hoped
to make its co-operation with the vet-
erans of other countries effective, and
these plans have been carried on since
his death by others. The officers of
the Federation during the last year
have been: Charles Bertrand, of
France, president; Cabot Ward, of the
American Legion. first vice president;
G. R. Crosfield. of Great Britain, sec-
ond vice president; Marie Davigneau,
of France, secretary; Arthur W. Kip-
ling, of the American Legion, treas-
urer. The American Legion’s commit-
tee for co-operation in the Federation
has consisted of Mr. Ward, Mr. Kip-
ling, Dr. Edmund L. Gros. Oscar N.
Solbert and Norman L. Coster. By
reason of their residence in London
and Paris, these men have been able

No reinstatement of government in-
surance can be made after Dec. 31,
according to word receive at national
heacdquarters of the American Legion.
All ex-service men can reinstate their
government insurance except those
who have a disability not traceable to
service. 1 he yearly renewable term
insurance may be reinstate by the pay-
ment of two monthly premiums. The
applicant must state that he is in good
health end provide a repol t of full
medical examination substantiating
that statement.
“If General Robert E. Lee was a
traitor, Napoleon Bonaparte was a

The statement was made by an ad-
mirer of both the great military lead-
ers Ferdinand Foch of France, while
he was visiting Harrisonburg, Va., ac-
cording to “a man who heard it," who
has written nationai headquarters of
the American Legion.
During a ceremony the marshal was
handed a telegram. "Lee is the great,
est traitor America ever has known,”
it read, signed by “An American Pa-
triot.” Foch read the telegram, smil-
ed, and showing it to his aides said: '

INDIANA POLIS, Ind., Dec. 19.--
"How to be successful” is boiled down
to two short sentences by Ferdinand
Foch of France, who may be counted
a success in his generation.
Members of the American Legion
party who had the marshal on a tour
of the United States asked him to leave
a message for the young men of Amer-
ica. The general complied during one
of the long railroad journeys en route
through the west.
The original of what Foch termed
“the Past to the Future, in a few
words,” will be kept by the Legion’s
national headquarters here.
"He who hesitates is lost. He who
moves forward wins.” sums up Foch’s
formula for success.
He continues:
“The way not to move forward is
by adopting the methods of the bore,
wno ruthlessly pushes others aside that
he may reach the front of the crowd;
the self-seeker, who tries to impress
on everyone that he is entitled to what
he is not; the nervous arrogant mar
who cannot wait, who feels that if he
does not retch the front at once the
world is lost for him.
The way to move forward is by
patience, by earnest endeavor, by dili-
gent study. by tireless work. Plan your
battle of life in advance. Map out
every detail of what you want to ac-
complish and then follow out your pro-
gram. No man who has been succest-
ful in life can be counted as lucky.
His success has been due to his own
effort.
“Success is work, and work is suc-
cess. The two are inseparable.”
As a motto. Marshal Foch recom-
mends his own, a quotation from Ra-
cine:
"I fear God, andqhave no other fear.”
mander of the American Legion, greets
the members of the American Legion
in the following Christmas messaze:
“One night nearly two thousand years
ago three wise men came plodding
from the East guided by a star to the
manger of (he Christ child. They knew
that which they were seeking, but they
knew not how nor when it would be
shown to them. The y sought the spirit
of service that should moan to millions
following after "Peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men."
“Associated together in The Amer-
ican Legion for service to God and
Country, bound by ties of service to-
gether in dangerous times, this day of
days should mean much to us. We
know its message and our duty 19 clear
before us.
Thousar.ds of our comrades lie brok-
en and sick for whom the war can
never end. Our first duty is to them
and our star—the white light of our
conscience—guides us there. While we
fight for their proper recognition by a
willing but forgetful nation, let us
make this Christmas Day a starting
point In our personal service to them.
“Those of us who were fortunate
enough to come back untouched can,
if only by our presence beside them
and those they hold dear sometime on
that day, give them assurance that we
have not end shall not forget. It is no
more than we would expect from them,
were our positions reversed. There may
be things which can be done for them,
not in charity, but an one buddy to
another. If there are, let us do them.
"And, if during the holidays each one
can find employment for even one of
the thousands of ex-service men who
are tramping the streets of our cities
looking for work, no better Christmzs
present could come to them. It will
make Christmas Day mean more to
us all. aMy yours be a happy one.”

to participate actively with the com-
mittees of the foreign veterans' so-
cieties. Other Americans living in
France and England have also assist-
ed. President Bertrand has made tours
of the allied countries in the interest
of the Federation, and was the guest
of the American Legion at the Kansas
City convention.

alliances in quantity were in the latest
shipment of American troops from the
Rhine to arrive in this port.
The army transport Santigny, dock-
ing here, brought back 602 veterans of
the army of occupation at Coblenz, 63
German wives, 12 French wives and
36 babies, offspring of the German
brides.
On board the Santigny also were the
bodies of 806 Americans killed in ac-
tion against Germany. Representatives
of the American Legion who met the
boat at dock to render honors to their
dead heard from passengers a story
of the trip.
The mixture of brides In the troop
quarters, the story said, produced per-
turbation due to occasional outbursts
of patriotic fervor. The French brides,
singing the "Marsellaise," were an-
swered by the German wives with an
outburst of "Die Wacht am Rhein.”
Six nurses who said they were Irish
added to the musical duels by the ren-
dition of "Ireland Must Be Free.” In
turn, the overseas brides would burst
into a German or French accent re-
cital of "The Star Spangled Banner*
for the benefit of their rival wives.
The returned soldiers had been In
the Coblenz district from one to three
