Prior to burial the body was wrapped In an American flag, but some of his countrymen removed the flag, and placed it over his grave, where It flew from a bamboo pole until it became tattered. When the body was sent back to his native home, an American Legion delegation in France sent what remained of the flag to his relatives.

Two years ago the American Legion began a campaign for cleaner and more truly American films. The campaign has been conducted by the Legions film service under the direction of Meyer. As a part of the campaign the Legion has produced several pictures for exhibition in theaters throughout the country under the auspices of the 11,000 local Legion posts. These pictures have been educational, historical and entertaining, and the enthusiasm with which they have been received, according to Meyer, is evidence a plenty that the people of America want more wholesome films. one-ha- lf thetic.

President Coolidge evidenced his personal interest in the situation by inquiring at the hospital concerning Mr. Greens condition. At the same time some White House officials inquired of the police what action was being taken against those responsible and were informed that the cases of three men held in connection with the shooting were under consideration is the district attorneys office.
