Peabody of the Massa etts Wom- en's Committee for Law Enforcement, addressing a Congregational Church audience here last night, amplified re- marks made in a previous address, in whieh she criticized liquor conditions in Boston attending the recent Na- 'Jiflml Convention of the American Le- gion. ‘The dry leader sald her previous re- marks had been misconstrued, in that published reports of the address did not contain her expressions of admira- tion and honor for the fon, “which deserves, in the main, all the Tonor we can pay. “My brief statement regarding the drunkenness on our streets was in- tended for the benefit primarily of l,he city which allowed open vioiations of the Jaw, State and National, rather than a reflection on the few men who disgraced their uniforms and who did not, I believe, represent a Legion of ‘honor. “To die on the field of Prance was to die with honor.
