Love of country and loyalty to the fnstitutions grow from knowledge. The American = Legion should use its influence to encourage and support and help the schools in telling children the history and de- velopment of American institutions in language they can understand. The commission adopted the follow- ing resolution with respect to, the re: cent action of the New York state a | Sembly In suspending flve = soclalist bers: ce The Americin egion stands for the maintenance of American in- stitutions’ of government, we look ith disfavor on every'effort to ovér- to deny to the properly elected rép- resentatives. of the people the ‘right to. sit, in the bodies ‘to- which - they have been elected, éxcept when ‘they heve been shown legally disqualified.” In concluding his address Lieut. Buxton spoke of ihe men who made the supreme sacrifice,” saying ‘that most of all we share the memory of those who @d not come home. . The. survivors ‘are charged with a, solemn misunderstanding regarding who is entitled ‘to thesce diplomas. The sec- retary of the Ameriean Legion post states that the nearest relative of any man who died In the service during the recent waj I Whether he served in | army, navy or marine corps is en- titled to a diploma. However, as these diplomas are distributed through the recruiting stations for the different hranches of ‘the service, only a few of | the diplomas for those serving in the navy have been received and none have been recefved for thoso serving In :the marine corps.

In the long harvest 'of the years it is possible that the memories ‘of our own part in the drama will fade from its present vivid outline and become like “old far off forgotten things and battles long ago.” 'But the sense of trusteeship for whose comrades who have passed “to where beyond these voices there Is peace” will and must remain. I made 2 reference a while ago, he continued, to Sergeant York whose name is now a household word. - You remember that he was one of g party surprised and fought a German' bat- of seventeen from the battalion whé talion of over.two hundred men. 'Six, Americans were killed "and three! wounded and York at the end.ef the fight in which: ~he prominently ‘came in with the sevenl unwounded Amyicans and 132 pris- oners.

The man ,'ho com- {manded that little expedition of se\'»l enteen; who led them by an exceed- ingly skillful reconnaissance . around the enemy, flank, who made the dects- | fon to attack irrespective ‘of ‘what the enemy numbers might- be, and who was shot down by a machine gun in the fight that followed iwith three builets in his back and one through his arm—that man was a citizen 3t your state, and I.rejoice that Ser-| geant.
