C, RODGERS N. E. Staff Writer ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 10.—This week sees the birth of an organiza tion that may have a more far reaching effect upon the life and history of America than any other organization in its history. The “American Legion” of vet erans of the great war assembles in caucus May 8, 9 and 10, in St. Louls to adopt a constitution and perfect an organization for which mi than 4,000,000 men are eligible, and in which the greater part of the 4,000,000 are expected to join. It is an organization of dough boys and generals, admirals, devil dogg and gobs, At least 60 of the delegates, by the prov the call for the caucus, MUST BE ENLISTED MEN The American Legion came into being at a caucus of nearly 1,000 nlisted men and officers at a meet: ing of the American Expeditionary Force on March 15. Lieut. Col. Theo dore Roosevelt, jr., was chosen tem- porary chairman, and Lieut. Col Bennett Clark was made temporary vice chairman, and representatives were chosen to act jointly with com- mittees which should be appointed by the caucus to be held later in America, rning } War Veterans to Invite Mothers TOLEDO, 0. } Carleton Morris, dent of the War has been by Theodore Roonevelt, temporary chairman of the Amer fean Legion, to be present at the { reception to be held by the war veterans at St. Louis, during their { convention. } | { { Mrs. Robert { national pros of { { young men, the vast majority under 30, and their influence on the politi [eal and economic life of America for | the next 50 years will be enormous Besides the obvious duty of pre |werving the comradeship and the | spirit of patriotiom engendered by | their war service, the members will inevitably demand that legislation be | passed to assure a square deal to ali | returning veterans, Already the pol |iticlans are running rapidly in the direction of the “American Legion” The temporary committee then In: | creased its number by the addition of some 200 members representing all the states and territories and the District of Columbia, and then called the St. Louis caucus, At St. Louls the real work of forming the legion will be accom: A tentative constitution will be adopted and an executive committee will be appointed to act with the Paris caucus representa- tives so that delegatee from all states duly elected by the veterans can meet in November with» power to adopt, modify or reject the steps taken by the caucus. By the time the men from over: seas get home there will be “post or “dugout” formed in the home town or village of every man who served during the war. The organization has laid down the fundamental principle that it shall be non-political and non-par- tisan. That is why the late Col Rooseveit's son, and the son of Champ Clark jointly head the tem- porary committee. ‘That the organization will go into | politics later is obvious.
