AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
Hundred of medals, decorutions and
citations, intended fcr veterans of the
world war, hut undelivered because of
insufficient or improper addresses, nre
in the hands of the adjutant perietal
of the army, who has appealed to the
American Legion to. assist in finding
iheir owneiv.
There is, for example, n hand.-omelv
ntrraped citation from the Italian
government, made out simplv to
"Frantz." One medal of the Blnck
Star of France, awarded to a certain
American lieutenant, has made several
n ips across the continent, but has been
returned each time nncluimn.i Tim
preater part of the recognitions of
nravery are irom allied government
ami societies.
Former service men. entitled to the
awards, are asked to write to the ad
jutant peneral, U. S. Army, Washing
ton, P. C, pivinK their name, rank,
organization, army serial number and
me incident or service for which they
think the recognition was made .
A letter of conpratulations hns been
received by F. W. Galbraith. Jr.. n:i
tlonal commander of the American Le
pion, from the French War Wtn
society of America, in reference to the
l.ep'on bead's determined stand
against the efforts of German propa
gandists to drive a wed ire between this
country and France. "To a campaign
of systematic ralumnv von mn.lo tho
only kind of reply which' it was fitting
to maite ami the "poilus approve it and
thank you,' the letter states. The In
diana state senate passed a resolution
commending the Legion's fight against
the Bochc-campaign.
The talk on Americanization which
B. G. Westover, member of the Lin
coln post of the American Legion, was
not permitted to deliver at the Ger
man Lutheran church at Emerald, was
given to a Lincoln audience at the an
nual chaplain's night in the Emman
uel Methodist church. In introducing
the speaker, Chaplain Harold C. Cap
fey said: "This man has been trying
for some time to break into a church
to make a speech." Mr. Westover
roundly scored the non-patriotic group
who are spreading German and other
foreign propaganda, and outlined the
Legion's part in the great American
ization program. The Germanic lan
guage group at Emerald, in refusing
to allow the Legion representative' to
sneak in the church after an invita
tion had been extended, aided in draw
ing attention to similar conditions
throughout the state, according to
American Legion officials, and assisted
materially in securing the amendment
to the Norval bill in the legislature as
to strengthen existing language laws.
The fact that there are yet thou
sands of former service men who have
claims against the government for
compensation and other assistance, is
Tevealed as a result of a service con
test among Illinois American Legion
posts, in which more than 24,000 new
claims have been filed. The contest
started on armistice day under the
auspices of a Chicago newspaper. Sim
ilar Legion campaigns to obtain just
compensation for the disabled are in
progress in Nebraska, Montana, North
TJakota and many other Legion ''departments.
A summer camp for disabled service
men at the state fair grounds is being
considered by the recently formed Lin
coln chapter of the Disabled Veterans
of the World War. The organization
consists of over thirty of the ICO vet
trans who are receiving compensation
or training from the government, and
is putting on a campaign to enroll all
the eligible men, in which it is receiv
ing support from the local post of the
American Legion, the state university,
the federal board of vocational train
ing, the bureau of war risk insurance
and other agencies.
The American Legion band of Lin
coln recently played a Sunday after
noon concert for the inmates of the
state hospital for insane. Band Leader
John Pasztor, formerly of the famous
355th Infantry band, is now an em
ployee of the hospital. Band mem
bers agreed to play after being assured
.that the hospital authorities would "let
them out again."
The click of the bones was heard in
the headquarters of the New Orleans
American Legion employment and ser
vice bureau.
"Uu, little Joe, get your papa that
job!" The dice rolled noisily on the
cement floor.
There are so many more men than
jobs that the choice between veterans
with similar qualifications has to be
entrusted to the ivory cubes, Legion
officials explained.

' Favors Ali-American
j Meeting in New York
The .mrrican Lrj.m of Ncbrask
J has sent its greetings and its endorse
mont of the great-AII-Amcrican mass
meeting to be hold under the leader
tvp ot the Legion at Madison Square
uanien, lew lork, on March IK, as an
answer and a national demonstration
against the revival of German propn-
! panda activities in the United State
it was announced bv Frank B. O'Con-
nell, state adjutant of the Legion.
Col. F. W. Galbraith. Jr.. national
commander of the Legion has been
placed in charge of arrangements for
the meeting by a committee represent
ing fifty patriotic, civic, fraternal, pro
fessional and labor organizations.
Colonel Galbraith has sent word to
Hobert G. Simmons, state commander
of the Nebraska Legion, that the meet
ing will be the "mightiest patriotic
demonstration that America has wit
nessed since the armistice." Telegrams
will be read from every state in the
union. On behalf of the ex-service men
of Nebraska, Kobert G. Simmons has
wired Co'onrl Galbraith as follows:
"Twenty thousand legionnaires in
Nebraska stand squarelv behind na
tional orpanization of the American
Legion in combating any attempt to
restore the German to his pre-war sta
tu5 in America. The Department of
Nebraska endorses patrotic demon
stration to be held in New York City
March 18. America must be constantly
on guard. This department extends to
you as national commander, invita
tion to hold such a meeting in this
state, providing sufficient time can be
had to properly arrange the same and
do necessary advertising.
"ROBERT G. SIMMONS."
There has been nothing like it since
the wave of patriotic ardor enveloped
the nation following our declaration of
war against Germany. It marks the
spontaneous beginning of a great All
American counter-offensive against
enemy propaganda which is sweeping
America. It is the natural reaction
from the national wave of resentment
which swept the country in the wake
of the exposure by, the American Le
gion of the projected revival of Ger
man propaganda efforts in this coun
try the insidious objects of which were
to estrange the United States and
those nations which were our com
rades in arms in war, and the restora
tion to its place of former power and
influence in our national affairs of the
powerful pro-German machine of
which Herr von Bernstroff and others
made such good use in the imperial
cause before we entered the war. The
cards are on the table now. The dis
loyalists have stated their cause and
America has made its answer.
