A Column Devoted to the VETERANS OF GREAT WAR Defended the Nation on Land and Sea. Interests O{ '}IC Men Who When the national executive com- mittee of the American Legion meets at the Raleigh Hetel on February V. 8 and 9. public interest will center chiefly in its action on the offer of $5.000,000 by the Knights of Columbus with which to build a war memorial in Washington, but that particulur matter will occupy only a small part of the three-day session. This will be the first meeting of the national committee since last Septem ber and it will find a large accumula {tion of business awaiting action. { dembers of the committee from the inorthwest are expected to press the { proposal for an American Legion nre- {morial in Centralia, Washington state, lin honor of the marchers who were shot down by radicals there during the Armistice day parade, in Novem- ber. 1919. The policy to be pursued In conne; tion with the legislative program dur- ing the Sixty-seventh Congress also will come up. and probably will oc- :asion more discussion’than any other feature of the meeting. The national committee will meet on y. February 5. and its report 11 aid the executive committee in reaching a decision as to what should be done. The Rogers bill, providing for a consolidation of the work of the vocational board, the war: risk bureau, the public health service gnd the Fordney bill for adjusted com- pensation are the foremost matters now under consideration. As for the $5,000,000 offered by the Knights of Columbus, the general im- pression Is that it will be accepted and that the quest of a site will be taken up with Congress. Suggestions have been made that the site on the Mall near 6th street, set aside by Con- gress for the proposed Washington memorial, might be used if some ar- rangement were made with those re- sponsible for that project. Entertalument by Veteran: An entertalnment with a varied program is to be given under the aus- pices of the state department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars the even- ing of March 16, the details having been arranged at a special depart- nental meeting held in the Metro- politan Bank building last Wednes- day night. pt. Joseph B. Much, chairman of ‘ the entertainment committee, prom- ised there would not be a dull mo- ment during the evening. The pro- &ram will be announced shortly and will_include vocal and énstrumental | music and dancing. i In addition to the other features, ! the story of Haiti, from the day when Columbus first set foot on it until the | present time, will be the subject of {an address by Capt. S. J. Seckelmann. {A number of pictures covering the jentire history of the island, including the French occupation and the revo- lution, have been collected by Capt. Seckeimann and will be shown for the first time. | Beginning next month, regular meet- 1ings of the departmental officers will {te held the first and third Wednes- day evenings of each month. i !

The principal event in March of in- {terest to members of this post will |be the banquet the evening of the 7th, commemorating the second anni- versary of the founding of the post. {Col. E.

Federal Judge Decides “Avalon” Is an Infringement. NEW YORK, January 29.—An im- promptu judicial musical was pre- sented in the federal court here when Judge Hand was called upon de- cide if an aria from *“La Tosca” had commercialized in the song, ‘Avalon.” Two violinists, a trumpe- ter and a talking machine played the aria and “Avalon” for the judi- cial determination of the judge and the amusement of the spectators. The court decided that *“Avalon’ was an infringement of the copy- right of “La Tosca” and granted an injunction. This was amended by a ruling permitting Joseph Remick & Co., publishers of “Avalon,” to post a $25,000 bond, which would stay the injunction. G. Ricordo & Co. of Milan, Italy, and New York, owners of the rights in opera, were then ordered to give a bond of $25,000 to guarantee the prosecution. —_— DENY RED AUTHORITY. Russians Here Repudiate Act of Bolshevik Leaders. NEW YORK, January 29.—A mani- festo asserting that “the peoples of free Russia” cannot be bound by agreements concluded by the bolshe- viki and repudiating” concessions granted to foreigners, which was adopted at a conference now being held in Paris of all Russian demo- atic elements opposed to bolshe~ vism, was made public here last night by A. J. Sack, director of the Russian information bureau. ‘The declaration issued by the con- ference stated that “Russia can never recognize any despotism as a legal authority, particularly the bol- shevist tyranny, which repudiates the most elementary principles of popular rule and civil liberties, and leans only upon the brute force of bayonets and ruthless terror.” WOMEN SEEK VOTE. Would Ballot for Vestrymen in Protestant Episcopal Church. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, January 29.—First steps have been taken by the Mary- dand Diocese of the Protestant Epis. copal Church, in convention, to de. termine if the women of the congre gation shall have the right of suf- frage in electing vestrymen. Only the men of the parishes heretofore have voted at the elections, with the ex. ception of Grace and St. Peter's churches, which have special charters. - A resolution was offered at the con- vention asking that a committee of three be appointed to take up the matter with committees to be ap- pointed by the dioceses of Washing- ton and Easton, which are the only “others in the state. The committee will then determine if it is possible under the Maryland Vestry act, which grants the church charters, for the women to vote for vestrymen. AGAINST MINERS’ CUT. President Lewis Says His Organi- zation Will Oppose Reduction. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, January 29— John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, who is visiting his home here, declared to- day the organization would oppose any attempt to reduce miners’ wage! “We feel,” he said, “wages now pald are small and permit sale of coal at a reasonable price. Wages for both anthracite and bituminous miners will continue in effect until March 31, 1922." —_— The first inauguration in which cit- izen soldiery from the various states participated was that of President Williams Heary Harrison. | ability and wide reputation. “The First George Washington Post” is the title of the illustration on the February number of the post bulletin, the drawing, which is by Clifford’ Berryman, showing the youthful George the slender Stump_of the onored cherr: tree.

History Neglected. Graduates of educational institu- tions in the United States are better versed in the history of Greece and Rome than in the history of their own country, according to Henry J. Ryan, chalrman of the Americanism commission of the American Legion, ‘Wwho has started a movement to make the study of American history and civics compulsory in all public and private schools in the country. The work is to be carried on through the forty-nine state depart- ments, according to a program out-! lined anad approved by national head- | quarters. Each department will lBkEi the matter up with its state lewis- lature and press for action. ‘While the study of American his- tory and clvics is more or less gen- eral, according to Mr. Ryan, there are a number of schools where those sub- Jects are olactive and a student may w those essentlals. ° for the bargains are fleeting.
