D., Feb. 22.—()—Per- sonal visits by the department presi- dent and cach of the three district committeewomen will be one of the methods used by the American Le- gion auxiliary in boosting the attend- ance at the state convention to be held at Minot June 23 and 24, it was announced at department headquar- ters here today. In order to help meet the cost of these visits the department has ap- propriated $50 for each district com- mitteewoman and $150 for the de- partment chairman. The money was taken from the fund to pay the ex- penses of delegates to national con- ventions, in which there was a sur- plus because the last two cpnven- tions were comparatively near at hand. Mrs. Anna 1. Hazen, department president, has announced formation of a new unit of the auxiliary at Mi- not. Joint Meetings Urged In a circular ‘sent out from de- partment headquarters, auxiliary members are told how to entertain members of the American Legion with whom are urged to meet in fur- thering-the interests of both organ- izations. The process, as outlined, is simple. It is: “Entertain them, amuse them, dance with them, play cards with them, put on stunts for them and feed them.” ‘Auxiliary members also are urged to give an “Easter Monday Ball,” and a party for the fathers of world war veterans is another idea urged on the varioys units as a means of enter- tai t_and prothotion of the in- te of the organization. NS Legislative Program r In*a cireular letter sent out to each unit, Mrs. Bernard Nickerson, Mandan, urges auxiliary members to stand solidly behind the legislative program of the American Legion ‘which she outlined as follows: 1, Universal draft law. . 2. Retifement of disabled emer- gency army officers. 3. Amendments to the adjusted compensation law. 4. Civil Service. 5. Hospital construction bills. 6. Amendmengs to world war vet- erans act of 1924. Mrs. L: P. Larson, Finley, chair- man of the cooperation committee in another communication sent out from department headquarters, has urged raf’ auxiliary units join with Legion posts in providing skating rinks, plav- Blound equipment for schools, bath. ing places and bathhous to improve the social life of a com- munity. ATTACK ON, WORLD COURT Senators Reed and Borah Urge Ea Defcat cf Senators Who Supported It ea Chicago, Feb. 22.(4)—Two sena- torial opponents of’America’s adher- ence to the world court—one a Demo- erat and the other a Repub n— have launched their opgning broad- sides here against that measure, sen- ators who supported it and methods by which the issue was brought to a vote in the senate. Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, addressing a Washington ‘birthday gathering of Knights of Columbus last night, pleaded for the defeat of “every man who voted for this ini- quitious measure,” and then moved on to East St. Louis, where he speaks again, tonight. : Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, attacked the world court in a radio speech preliminary to his formal ad- dresses planned for this afternoon at the Coliseum and this evening at a political gathering. 9 “The greatest influence in the world for peace and’ good is the un- contracted, unembarrassed independ- ence of the American government,” he asserted. Part Primary Campaign The invasion of Illinois by the anti- world ami ead bose occurred as the ublican primary campaign tea dear Wm. B. McKinley and Frank L. Smith, irman of the Republican state committee, is in full swing. Smith has made Senator Me- Kinley’s vote for the world court an outstanding issue hetween them. Illinois is the first large state where a pro-court senator is up for renomination, with the primary set for April 13. From Iilinois, Senator Borah will go into Wisconsin for two speeches in the state of Senator Lenroot, Republican, lender of the administration forces for the world court, who likewise is up for renom- ination.
