ft Legion Members Urge Removal Of Postmaster THE BEE: (JIM AH A, lDMUAT, M.13KUAKT ZZ, IVZl Ex-Service Men Send Resolu tion to Nebraska Delegation Following Incident at Emerald Church. By E. E. SNYDER. W asltington Correspondent Omaha Bc. , Washington, Feb. 21. (Special.) American Legion post No. 3 of Lincoln and the Rotary club of the Nebraska capital are wrought up greatly over an 'incident that occur red in the parish of St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran church near Emerald, Lancaster county, late in January of this year, when the com mander of the post, George Farwell, and an associate, -Mr. Westover, were invited to make an Americani ation speech to the community. Upon their arrival they encounter ed a bitter factionaj fight between the various members of the congre gation over the question of whether or not the English language should he excluded from the Sunday school, the confirmation class wd the (hurch services. Quote Leader's Statement. According to a report of a com niitec of Lincoln post No. 3, Ameri can Legion, an "assertion was made by the leader .of the Germanic ele ment. Henry C. W. Jarms, post master at Emerald, to the effect that, "this is a German church and wc propose to keep it a German church." This, the members of the committee niakirg the report, say is a backward step and they bcliev it unfortunate that Henry C. V. Jarms, the leader of the element at tempting to prohibit the use of English, enjoys the prestige and emoluments of a federal position. Today Congressman Reavis and he other members of the delegation leceived a copy of the resolutions ildopted bv American Legion post, reciting that Henry C. W. Jarms the leader of the clement in St. Johns Lutheran chtircTi. "which re cently has supplanted the American language by the Germanic language, which in our dpinion is a backward and un-American step. Inimical ot the best interests of the nation." Want Postmaster Removed The Legion members called upon Mr. Reavis and the other member of the Nebraska Legion posts to employ their efforts to relieve Mr. Jarms from his federal appointment. Mr. Reavis, who was absent from the capitol today on account of a bad cold, it is understood will ad vise the adjutant of the Lincoln post, C. S. Kittingcr, that the Emerald postoffice is under civil service by executive order and that the position of postmaster is not an annointive one. The civil service commission is the proper bureau to ; hear charges of the character out lined and disloyalty is a good ground upon which to base such , charges, in Mr. Reavis" opinion. What position the other mem hrre nf the delegation will take is problematical. L)ebs Incommunicado Due to Criticisms of Government Officers By tnlversal Service. Atlanta, Ga., Feh. 21. Eugene V.
