Lindsley of New York, past national commander of the Legion, the Land of Flowers" LEGION (Copy for This Department Supplied by American Leaioo News Service.) tbi REAL PURPOSE OF PEACE MOVEMENTS Characterizing efforts of certain peace movements as Insidious attempts of radicals to gain control of United States, the Americanism commission of the American Legion Is warning members of that organization against participation. We know that war is terrible, says a bulletin Just Issued by the Legion's commission. Many brave lives have been sacrificed in defense of American principles and Ideals. Are we going to allow desecration of these lives by a lot of extreme pacifists who hide behind the cloak of the Deity? the bulletin asks. Garland W. Powell, director of the Americanism commission, prepared the bulletin, In which he says that the Womens Peace society, the Womens Peace Union of the Western Hemisphere, and the Fellowship of Youth for Peace are bodies which, in exactpledges from members, ing anti-wa- r will preclude such Americans from participation in defense of the United States, should it be drawn into war. He says that the efforts of these organizations are uspd by radicals as tools, and that, working in fertile fields among the youth and Bible classes of the nation, they are gaining strength. He urges that every American who learns of such meetings attend, and If possible present the patriotic viewpoint of America. . . . They are the tools of the bolsheviks, the revolutionary radicals the bulletin and the communists, Nothing would suit them betsays. ter than to have all Americans sign pledges of this kind. Then they would walk in, seize our country and destroy our institutions. . . If there ever was a time in the history of our nation that action Is needed, it is now movements when such as the one described are in progress. Show these people that we have no place for them in our institutions and government, the bulletin concludes. will receive a handsome loving cup, presented by the donor to the department making this achievement. The figures tabulated for the state show that on March 1 a total of 93.2 per cent had been enrolled of the total membership obtained on December 31, 1923. This is most unusual, and while Legion renewals are more advanced at this time by departments than is usual, Floridas feat shows effects of an earnest campaign. The department of Mexico was not far behind the winning state, however, as It enrolled 92.2 per cent of those affiliating with the Legion during the previous year, and for a time it was thought that the foreign departmeitj had surpassed the winner. In a second group, the department of Wisconsin was in third place with 78.4 per cent renewed, while Oregon was but a single point behind the Badger state for fourth place. Other deportments enrolling more than 50 per cent of the 1923 membership were announced to Trades or Professions for Individual Posts Formation of posts of the American Legion to specifically serve certain trades or professions is growing rapidly. Many posts in the organization number as members, doctors and dentists, employees of great corporations, members of fraternal orders, or some other group that has a trade or similar Interest as a reason for their affiliation. One of the most decided of such movements is that of advertising men, who as World war veterans, are associating themselves with the Legion, and carrying on in their own line. Strong posts of this character have been formed in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Boston. In Cleveland, another post composed exclusively of advertising men Is in process of formation, and groups in St. Louis and Indianapolis include members of printing nnd allied trades advertising men, men, journalists, circulation printers, pressmen and similar professions. From many of these posts come some of the livest ideas in post advertising that are seen In the organization, and it is not unlikely that department and nafionnl officials of the r of Legion will call on the posts for help in preparation of advertising material In the future. man-powe- Legion Will Battle Against Illiteracy from the state of Georgia will be undertaken Immediately by the American Legion In that state, according to recent action taken at a conference of all posts. The Georgia Illiteracy commission will receive not only financial support from the Legion, but the man power of the veterans organization will be made available as well, according to statements made by officials. Georgia has more than 70,000 white Illiterates, and the grentest need of the state In combating Illiteracy is the provision of funds with which to open schools for these men and women, the Legionnaires were told. Garland W. Powell, director of the Legion's national Americanism commission, told the delegates present that among these illiterates, radicals might find fertile field for their work for overthrow of the nation's institutions, as the insidious propaganda of such forces is spread through the unknowing. Painting Presented to Post A realistic war painting, depicting American engineers holding a portion of the line near Amiens, is now the property of a Legion post In Adams, Mass. The painting, one of the largest of war canvases, is the work of Harold Brett, a artist, and was presented to the Legion by Arthur W. Safford, registrar of deeds. well-know- n Horrors!

It appears that the governor of Pennsylvania suggested the employment of Heney as special counsel for the senate committee to its chairman, Senator Couzens of Michigan. Also, that Senator Couzens was to bear the expense. Secretary Mellon wrote to President Coolldge declaring that should unnecessary interference with the proper exercise of his duty be continued neither I nor any other man of character can long take responsibility for the treasury. Thereupon President Coolidge sent a message to the senate, in which he said, among other things: The constitutional and legal rights of the senate ought to be maintained at all times. Also, the same must be said of the executive department. But these rights ought not to be used ns a subterfuge to cover unwarranted intrusion. It is the duty of the executive to resist such Intrusion and to bring to the attention of the senate Its serious consequences. That I shall do in this instance. It is time that we return to a government under and in accordance with the usual fonns of the law of the land. The state of the Union requires the Immediate adoption of such a course."

Shortridge and Japanese Immigration Senator Samuel Morgan Shortridge of California is naturally much interested in the question of Jnpanese immigration. So he was quite extensively In the limelight during the excitement in the senate over t he protest of the Japanese Ambassador Hanihara threatening the United States with In a speech in "grave consequences. support of bis amendment excluding Japanese Immigration he said, among other things: Japan seeks to expand. It wants these things: First, more land; sec ond, permanent residence for its chil-dethird, citizenship in the United States; fourth, ownership of the land its citizens live on in this country nnd, fifth, and above all, it wants social and racial equality with the United States. Japan wants an outlet for Its surplus and its overflow nnd in looking about for a place for them she has decided on the United States. "We wish for Japanese sovereign independence; for Japanese prosperPy in the arts and sciences, for commercial prosperity and happiness for her people ; but we also wish to say to Japan; We will not shape our legislation except for the welfare of the men nnd women and children of our own country. And we should make that known to Japan in no unmistakable terms.

Belying upon the confidence you have been good enough to show me nl all times, I have stated, or rather repeated, all this to you very candidly nnd in a most friendly spirit, for I realize, ns I believe you do, the grave consequences which the enactment would bring. Thereupon the senate promptly forgot all about home political squabbles nnd proceeded to speak Its mind ar.d to vote overwhelmingly to cull the Jap enese bluff.
