LEGION TO AID IMMIGRANTS Plan Mapped Out by American Commission Com-mission of Veterans' Organization to Extend Welcome. Immigrants entering the United States will be received and welcomed by members of the American Legion, according to plans mapped out by the National American commission of the veterans' organization. Arrangements have been made whereby the local post of the community which is the ultimate ul-timate destination of the immigrant will get in touch with him immediately upon his nrrival. Information as to the names and destinations of all Immigrants will be secured at the port of New York and forwarded immediately to the thousands thou-sands of Legion posts' in order that they may prepare for the reception of the new arrivals. "In some cases the immigrant may be going directly to friends," says the announcement of the American commission, "but in many cases he will be friendless and will be sure to 'mve great trouble. He may need assistance as-sistance in finding out where he can learn English, where he can send his children to school, where he can find a place to live and a place to work. Nothing could be more effective in lining lin-ing up the new arrival on the' side of law and order and of the things we believe In as being best for the country coun-try than this friendly welcome. It Is this personal greeting from America Amer-ica that will help make the newcomer a 100 per cent American."
