MEMORIAL DAY PLANS. Franklin, D'Olier, national. command- er, today announced the plan for ¢’. rying out the Instructions’of the Min- neapolis convention in décorating on Memorial Day the graves of Americans who fell in the war and le buried on foreign soil. The plan, as outlined in a bulletin just issued, is as follows: . The natoinal executive committee, at their, meeting. {2 Washington, March }, 24, discussed tha question of the prop- |) er decoration for the graves of those of our comrades who paid the supreme sacrifice and He buried in foreign soil. It was unanimously agreed that the Amer! Legion should, through vol-| untary contributions, raise — sufficient funds to properly decorate the grave of every American soldier and saflor in Europe on) this coming Memorial Day. It is, therefore, requested that each state department call this matter to the attention of all posts with th®-sug- gestion that where a post is able and disposed so to do, it remit. for this purpose §5 or ‘more, to the treasurer at national headquarters, through its respective department adjutant. National headquarters is now ar- ranging with the organization of the American. Legion, In. both France and England for handling this matter. Remittaces should reach © national headquarters not later than April 24, in order that they may be remitted: to | France ang England, although ‘special arrangements can probably bé made to cable later remittances where posts have been unavoidably delayed. This, of course, is a matter which will ap- peal strongly ito every Individual mem, ber ¢fthe Legion and many small con- tributions are preferred. Posts with large memberships, which desire to forward more than $5, of ‘course, may use their own discretion. Owing to the keen interest which many outside of the Legion will take in this matter, there is nothing -to pre- vent department ‘organizations accept- ing voluntary contributions from those outside of the Legion, but, neverthe- Jess, anxious to share in a small way toward the decoration of the graves. PLAN LEGION HOME. Gov. James P, Goodrich of Indiana recently appointed a ¢ommittee of the Liberty Joan chairmen of the ninety- two counties of the state to decide on a ywar memorial building as the perma-! nent home of the national headquarters ot the American Legion. Charles F. Coffin, president of «the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, was chosen chairman, and John B, Reynolds, gen- eral secretary of the chamber, was made secretary of the committee. ‘Resolutions favo! a special sion.of the legislature to provide fot the memorial, The committee is con- sidering a, $10,000,000 building, half from state appropriation and half to be paid by city and county govern- ments, Mr. Reynolds attended the Wash- ington meeting of March 22, in the in- terests of the memorial. He formerly was in charge of the Indiana district of the information fand service branch of the war department. He is 2 mem- ber of Robert E.

The Woman's Patriotic League co-operated with the post to make the dance a success. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion and several novelties were introduced. Over the dancing floor long streamers of alternating red, white and blue crepe paper were brought from the sides to a peak in the center, making a canopy over all. On the stage was arranged a cool, green, delightful looking sylvan glade, American Legion _ News Notes Sia and Natonl Tovey af Tatra io ExServie Men an the American Legion, Which Designated Th .

Provision was ‘made for ‘the distribution of these’ rifles, valued at about $2,000,000, by legislation recently, enacted by the Congresg. bill provides. for the le to posta of 'the American Lezton of “blank ammu- nition’ in» suitable amounts for said rifles” and further snecifies that the rifles be “obselete or condemned army rifles” and that the number distributed | shall not “exceed ten such rifles to any one post." The posts of the American Legion re- quested these obselete rifles for use “in connection with the funcral ceremonies of deceased soldiers, sailors and ma- rines, and for other. post ceremonial | purposes,” the uses to which the rifles are to be put having been Included in the bi. The rifles’ will be stripped of bayonets and other appurtenances,, as was done in the, loan by the» govern- ment of obsolete rifles to the high school cadets in Washington. No distribution. can. be. made until some system for handling the loan will have been devised. AID AMERICANISM DRIVE. Every public library in the country will be requested to co-operate in the Ameficanism campaign of the Ameri- can kegion as the result of a bulletin issued by Arthur Woods, chairman of the Americanism Commission of the Americaiy, Legion, from national ,head- quarters, sndianapolis. The bulletin is in part as follows: “Reports from many posts: indicate that the 1= library hi.s proved one of the most valuable, agencies with which the Legion ¢an work. Where the active co-operation of the librarian has been sought, he has often proved an authority, not only on what books should be read, but how they should be brought to the attention of the thou- sands of readers, both native and for- eign born, whose ideas are largely formed through books and periodicals read in the public libraries. “The New Yory County Americans ses-Tism committee of the department of New York, has sent. to all the Ubraries in New York City copies of a resolu- tion adopted by jhe committed: asking the co-operation of the libraries in exer- books and other literature that tend to incite sedition, anarchy, er attempt to other means than those, order ernment by consistent with the law. and “Other posts have found that, where the Hibrarian has not already done so, he will, if requested, gladly assemble ; and. place at the disposal of readers | books under the general. subjects of | America, ‘How-to Become a Citizen’, | ‘Learning English,’ etc. If the library has not a sufficiently large collection of readable books/ on these subjects, ex-) perience has proved @hat the librarian) Wii welcome the’ public support of the | such additional books as may’ be néeded.” 4 A suggested list of over fifty books that would prove helpful in the work accompanied the bulletin. | COMPANY GIVES $3,000.
