Legion at nation

the War Camp
Community serv

or to his affilia

A Hoosier by birth, Mr. Creviston
enlisted in May, 1917, in Company E

for three months when he was elected

infantry, he was given complete
charge of the administration co-ordina

partment of the S. A. T. C. movement,
he was transferred to the general
staff and put in charge of the ninth
district commission on training camp
activities, with station in Kansas City,
Mo. In this capacity he covered nine
states of the Middle West, during
which time he was charged with the
bettering of conditions within the
camps and non-camp cities that bear

PLAN IS ENDORSED BY LABOR
JMew Jersey Unions and Labor Paper
Editor in Favor of Americanism
Program.
The Charles Henry Post No. 29
<New Brunswick, N. ,T.) secured the
active co-operation of the local unions
of the American Federation of Labor
in the Americanism program which
lias been worked out by that post.
Members of the post Americanism
committee first explained in detail to
the editor of the labor paper what
their aims and plans were. They
asked his help in advancing the cause
of good citizenship and he not only
publicly gave his editorial support,
but offered space in his paper for
publicity they wished for their work.
Members of the committee also went
to the heads of various unions, and
explained their aims and plans of
campaign. The labor leaders, who
were all patriotic Americans, were en
thusiastic In their support of the
legion’s plans and at one of the early
meetings of all the labor unions the
committee presented an outline of the
Americanism work, for which they
wish to obtain the assistance of the
unions. (
STARTS FUND FOR BUILDING
Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce
Heads Movement for Memorial and
Permanent Headquarters.
The Indianapolis chamber of com
merce is raising a fund for the erec
tion of a war
memorial building
to be the perma
nent national
headquarters of
the American Le
gion which, with
appropriations by
the city, county
and state, prom
ises to run to sev
eral million dol
lars.
“Every citizen
of the city of In
dianapolis and every organization
owes a debt of appreciation and
gratitude to the men who so ably
and persistently and skillfully carried
on the campaign for Indianapolis,” said
Charles F. Coffin, president of the In
dianapolis chamber of commerce, which
contributed to a fund to send a large
delegation to the Minneapolis conven
tion.
“There is now an obligation as well
as an opportunity upon the citizens of
Indianapolis to show that they all ap
preciate the significance of the fact
that the headquarters of the great or
ganization are to be permanently lo
cated in Indianapolis. It Is not enough
simply to have obtained them. I think
you will agree with me that the least
the city of Indianapolis can do is to
supply the Legion ample grounds free
of charge upon which they will erect
one of the handsomest buildings that
Indianapolis has ever had.
“Bringing the headquarters of this
organization to Indianapolis is not like
bringing a factory or industrial plant
to the city. With this organization
comes a power from which will go in
fluences for law and order and civiliza
tion.”
The fund started by the chamber of
commerce grew quickly. The county
commissioners shortly took steps look
ing to a half million dollar bond issue,
the county’s contribution to the fund.
The state legislature is expected to
! make appropriation for the memorial
and the Legion posts will canvass the
state for contributions to what will
probably be a $5,000,000 or $6,000,000
memorial fund.
A plan is now under consideration to
purchase two city blocks lying between
two parks which would clear a plaza
between the city post office on the
south and the city library on the north,
which the new memorial building would
face.
POPPY AS MEMORIAL FLOWER
Taooma (Wash.) Post Adopts Resolu
tion Urging Flanders Fields Blos
som Be Made Official.
A request has been received by
Franklin D’Olier, national commander
of the American Legion, to have the
Shirley poppy adopted as the memo
rial flower of the Legion. The request
originated with the Edward B. Rhodes
Post No. 2 of Tacoma, Wash., which
has adopted a resolution favoring the
adoption of the poppy.
The resolution adopted by the Wash
ington post was as follows:
“Lest we in the day’s work, sur
rounded by home and happiness, forget
our comrades who sleep in France,
and here in the arms of the mother
land ;
“Lest we forget ‘that greater love’
of these American boys who ‘gave
their lives for their fellow men,’
“Lest we forget that ‘In Flanders
fields the popples grow, among the
crosses, row on row,’ and that nature
seems to have raised in these simple
flowers the most eloquent monument—
a waving scarlet blessing over their
graves:
“Be it resolved, That the Edward B.
Rhodes post, American Legion, inaugu
rate a movement to have the Shirley
poppy adopted as the Memorial flower
of the American Legion.
“That the American Legion take
steps to assist and urge that every
public park, cemetery, and every pri
vate garden, in gratitude to the men
who made the ✓supreme sacrifice, do,
during the coming spring and sum
mer, and every spring and summer
thereafter, revere the memory of our
soldier dead by setting aside a plot for
continued display of waving red pop
pies.
“That a red poppy be worn by every
member of the American Legion on
Memorial day.”
It is probable that a similar resolu
tion will be introduced by the post at
the next convention of the American
Legion, which is to be held in Cleve
land, O.
Is M. P. in His Home Town.
Clyde, Ohio, has elected a member of
Orrin G. Franks Post, No. 22, of that
city to the office of city marshal. Not
every vet. can be an “M. P.M in his own
home town. _

Corporal Bute Presides Over Recently
Formed Organization at Walter
Reed Hospital.
Corporal J. E. Bute was elected com
mander of the new post of the Amer
ican Legion re
cently formed at
Walter Reed hos
pital in Washing
ton, D. C., where
about 1,800 sick
and wounded
men are receiving
treatment. Cor
poral Bute was
the addressee of
a Christmas
greeting, which
Fraaklin D’ 01
ier, national com
mander sent to the ex-service men of
the country.
In a letter recently received by Mr.
D’Olier. Corporal Bute said :
“I very much suspect that you will
be surprised to know that we have
formed a very good post of the Legion
here at the hospital. Two hundred and
some signed the first night and it is
near the four hundred mark now. I
expect to have the post 1,800 strong by
the first of the month.
“You may expect to hear some pe
culiar resolutions from us, but I am
going to ask you to give us credit for
wanting to help in any w^ay possible
ourselves and our brother comrades
who have been back in civilian life
for some time.”
