CLARK. - Washington.—Col. I*. W, Galbraitl;:| commander of-the American Legion, has been spending cousiderable time in Washington recently. He has been in conference with President Harding and some of the leaders of congress concerning legislation which the serv- ice men would like to have euuulcd{ at the extra session. | It seems to be the belief of thej Legion leader that at the next ses: provision will he made for the group- | ing of all government soldier relief | agencics into one burenu, and for u continuous hospital program, esp iul-l Iy for tuberculous and neuro-psychi- | atric patients. “lle is the one Boche we want.” This is what the Legions com- mander has said in reference to Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, Philadelphia draft evader, rich and ivfluential, who is now In a country which he loves bet- ter apparently than the land of his Dirth. It is the belief in Washington that the new administration will make an effort to lay hands on Bergdoll and bring him back to this country., The Legion s; hat it wants this man— and if the government wants lim It will get him.

The American Legion has not for- potten the recent meeting at Madison Square Garden, New York city, where pro-Germans were allowed to preach doctrines that were more than semi-| seditions.

Recently there was held in Madison Square Garden, New York city, under | the auspices of the American Legion “An All-American Meeting for God rud Country.” It was not necessary at that meet-! fng to have 1,500 policemen inside the hall to maintain order. When the lovers of Germany held their mecet- ing they succeeded in securing the services of 2,000 pollcemen who they thought might be ready to club any American Legion man who should show any too marked an affection for the American’ flag, | A Patriotic Document. 1 Ilere is the call for the recent meet- fng which the American Legion sent! out: “An All American Meeting for God and Country will be held in Madison Square Garden, Friday, March 18, _“For two years an insidious proj-| nganda been carried on through-: out the nation.

In prehistorie Hindu thought our world consists as to i 5 of seven concentric, continenwal Dvi- pas, whose names are Jambu, Pl Salmali, Kusa, Krauncha, § Pushkara. According to the Vishnu Purana: “They are surrounded severally by seven great seas—the sen of salt water (Lavana), of sugar-cane juice (Ikshu), of wine (Sura), of clari- fied butter (Sarpis), or curds (Dadhi), of milk (Dugdha). and of fresh water (Jala). Jambu-dvipa is the center of all these, and in the copics of this is the golden mountain Meru.” Jambu is the dvipa occupied hy human be- . Meru the indescribably glorious vorth polar mountain by which the portal to the heaven or heavens fis at- tainable. In oriental literatuve, therefove, the expression “the seven seas” has no ref- erence to the bodies of water named seas by our geographers, but is an in- teresting survival of the geocentric world view which we of the western ions have lost, but which all ortho- dox Brahmins and Buddhists still hold sacred and true, Its recent appear- ance in occidental literature is doubt- Jess more duc to Kipling than to any other writer.

There was another agree- able incident when the Turkish au- thorities, by an impulsive movement of religlous toleration, sent for n Greek priest to bury Greck soldiers, and told him to take his cholce in a heap of corpses of all creeds and colors.
