He added that he felt that *‘no person ig public life, in wbeiniynity, “state or nation, should be allowed to speak for the legion, and that the legion must be allowed to continue to speak for itself when 1s. sues involving service men afe con- cerned, and then in terms which all the world will understand.” Commander Emery paid high trib- ute to the late Commander Frederic W.

The afternoon session was turned over to receiving Gen, Armando Diaz of Itsly and Lieut. Gen. Baron Jac- ques of Belgium, who delivered mes- sages of friendship to the American war veterans, and Maj.

He said his one aim had been to carry through the great program which Commander Galbraith had left unfinished. A notable public service of the past year, Commander Emery pointed out, was the “frustration of a nation-wide German propaganda campaign in the United States.” This, he said, was to start with a series of “Rhine Horror” meetings. “The notorious propagandist, Von Mach, believed he had so cleverly concealed his motives that he asked Galbraith to speak at the first Rhine horror meeting at Madison Square Garden,” Commander Emery said. “As you will remember, Galbraith did | not wait that long before he spoke. He told Von Mach on the spot what he thought of him and his project. The legion prepared immediately to organ- ize counter demonstrations wherever the pro-Germans might carry out Program. Most of these meetings were never held, however, for Von Mach abandoned his scheme after ono disastrous attempt at Madison Square Garden.” city pumping statio: DEFENSE ENDS CASEINTRIAL OF SOUTHARD TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Oct. 31.— ‘The defense rested its case today in the trial of Mrs. Lyda Southard, charged with killing her fourth hus- band, Edward F.
