24 = LEGION TODENAND [AMUSEMENTS MILITARY TRAINING * Commander, in‘ Armistice Day Speech, Stresses Need for Adequate Defense. By the Associated Press OMAHA, Nebr., November 12.—The American Legion will always demand military preparedness as the best means of preventing war and will never permit the military organization | ;¢ for national defense to fall below the strength provided by the defense ac of 1920, Howard P. Savage, national commander of the Legion. said in an Armistice day message here. Comdr. Savage called upon Con- gress, in the Mame of the Legion. to appropriate sufficient funds to keep each provision of the defense plan up to the standard originally decided upon. He also denounced persons and organizations who have attempted to sbolish or modify military training schools. Holds Preparedness Necessary. “How many of our youth have died on the enemy's steel because of the statement ‘There’ll never be another war? "' he asked “From the Revolutionary War down o the World War we have never been prepared. What use is it to erect monuments if we merely repeat the performance when next our nationa! existence is threatened and we must wage war (o protect ourselves? What would you say to the employer who eontinually neglects safety devices in hir factory and when his men are killed through this negligence. lauds their hravery in thus risking their Mves? The anewer would be criminal negligence, and that employer would be forced to adopt protective meas. ures. “Bbeause the Legion asks this, do viet think it is militaristic or jingo- istle. No man or organization desires to maintain the peace any more than the veteran and the Legion. Demand Adequate Training. “We demand—demand as American citizens—adequate military prepared- ness and training for our country and our vouth. “Those persons and organizations who attack the military training in high schools and colleges as un-Ameri- can. militaristic and likely to breed war are cracked idealists, who do not know what it is to face a blood-lusting | enemy without training in the use of the very weapons of defense. “The American Legion will oppose | these organigations—red. pink, what ever their color—relentlessly in their effort to undermine our national de fenee. The Legion speaks from expe- rience and it should be heard.” War Bride Gets Divorce. Mrs. Suzanne Reeder, 2008 Sixteenth street, French wife of Ray C.
