ST. LOUIS, May 8.—The American Legion, composed of men in the mili- tary or naval service of the Govern- ment during the war, opened a three- day session here to-day with more than a thousand delegates represent- ing practically every State in the Union present. Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt of New York presided. Though little was accomplished at to-day’s sessions, save the formal opening of the convention and exam- ination of credentials of the dele- gates, there were indications that the caucus will not be an entirely peace- ful one, ‘The sessions of the various tempo- rary committees during the past two days have brought to light many differences of opinion. Foremost among these is the dissenvion be- tween the National Guard and the Regular Army. An effort is being made on the part of national guardsmen to exclude regular army men from the legion, although the temporary executive committee has voted to open the membership to all men and women who saw service in the war. Col. Rennett Clark of Missouri, who a few days ago told the national guard convention here that “the regular army must be smashed,” now is the leader of the forces fighting for recognition of the regular army in the legion. In addition to the Regular Army— National Guard affair, many dele- gates to-day reiterated previous com- plaints that the legion would be “an officers’ club,” and that politics was being played in its organization. These charges were denied by Lieut. Col. Roosevelt, Temporary Chairman, and Col. Clark, Temporary Vice Chairman of the Executive Com- mittee in opening addresses to-day. Another question which was brought up to-day was that of ad- mitting negroes to membership. A group of Southern delegates, headed by Alabamans, is lobbying against the admission of negroes, proposing that they should be allowed to form an auxiliary organization. ——— eee $1,157,853 Raised for Near East Relief. in the Near East of which Cleveland H.
