: _i i Mk AMERICAN mm LEGION . NEWS i Conducted by Jas. D. Grist. All over York county and all over the state ana mc nuuim va-sci vivc i men are watching the action of the j government relative to the passage of the soldier bonus bill. All over the country the ex-service men are confident that the bill is going to pass and some of them have even gone so far .as to calculate just exactly what they are going to do with theirs. That it is coming there is little or no doubt; but when no man can tell. The only thing to do is for ex-soldiers to rest easy about it. You'll have plenty of notice when it is due and payable. . Attorneys' Charges. The Service Officer of Meech Stewart Post is In receipt of the following from M. Bryson, district manager, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.: There have been reported to the District Office of the United States Veterans' Bureau a number of instances in which attorneys are charging claimants who applied for compensation or vocational training fees in excess of the amount allowed by law, which amount is $3.00 for each claim filed. The bureau h;t? adopted the. policy of prosecuting every attorney or other person illegally changing fees In excess of $3.00 for handling claims against the bureau. It is not n^ceskary that a claimant take his case to a lawyer, inasmuch as this bureau will assist him in the prej?ration of his claim and inform him of the papers necessary and will not recognize any attorney in the presentation of any claim against the bureau. v , ' Unfortunate and Illiterate disabled ex-service men are being made the victims of unscrupulous attorneys, who are defrauding them of a considerable portion of the amount of money allowed for compensation of training. All such oases reported are being invest!- 1 gated through the prosecution section of this bureau and those persons found 1 guilty will be dealt with severely. Frank Roach Plans. 1 Frank Roach Post over In Rock Hill is planning a year of real pleasure and real service for the members of that post, according tp Information coming from the Good Town. Tom Huey, who was recently elected post commander for this year is a live wire and in- . eluded in the post membership are many live wires to help him.

Tiic question is frequently asked, "What Is 'the best form of policy?" This must be decided by the insured himself, because he knows best hig financial condition, etc. If, however, a man should select onei form and later decides that some other form would suit him better and desires to exchange for another form of converted policy at a lower rate, he may do so any time within five years from the effective date of his original contract by surrendering his policy and submitting satisfactory evidence of his present good health. The new policy will bear the same date as the old one, will be based on the same age and may he for the same or a less amount of insurance. The difference in the reserve on the old po'iey and the reserve on the new policy may he used only toward payment of premiums on the new policy where the policy has been in force less than one year but if it has been in force one year or longer the difference in reserve may be used toward payment of premiums on new policy or withdrawn in cash. I he inaianapoits uonterence. A conference of state and national American Lesion officials was held in Indianapolis, Ind., at national headquarters in January. At that conference the first business transacted was the adoption of a resolution with regard to disabled ex-service men. "The American Legion, in conference assembled of its National Executive Committee, department commanders, department adjutants and important national committees .... as its first thought and action calls upon the government for the prompt, honest and efficient functioning of all agencies affecting the welfare of our disabled comrades; and further demands that immediate steps be taken by the proper authorities to completely decentralize the Veterans Eureau and settle at onee all pending claims. "The'American people want these men given proper care. The American | Legion intends to see that this is j done." Other things accomplished at this conference were: Approved the national commander's j plan for service and compensation j census in all departments. Appropriated $2,000 f<>r a memorial, to be erected in Cincinnati in honor of the late National Commander Gal- j braith. ' Selected October 16th-20th as the i dates for the fourth national convention at New Orleans. Authorized the national commander to appoint a national athletic commission. Approved the appointment of a special committee to investigate the advisability of organizing a father's auxiliary. Authorized the national commander to appoint a committee to make plans for a rotating fund, whereby men not in need of adjusted compensation may make their share available for needy ex-service men. Endorsed the suggestion that the birthday of General Robert Lee (January 10th) be added to the list of anniversaries especially appropriate for legion observance. The decision to include the birthday of General Robert E. Lee on the list of anniversaries prepared by the national Americanism commission is Symbolic of the non-sectional sentiment prevailing throughout the legion. MARRIAGE A FATAL UNION. Syracuse University Students Answer a Few Questions. Syracuse, N.

SAID TO BEDEMOCRATIC AND LIBERAL Has Rocord as Churchman and Also Has Had Much Experience in Politics?Began Hit Work in the Church as a Teacher of Chimney sweeps. New York World. The election of Cardinal Achillc Ratti and his assumption of the title of Pius XI, was regarded by ecclesiastical authorities yesterday as bound to be acclaimed by every shade of opinion in the Roman Catholic Churcl. Out! sido, and especially in political quar! tors, it will bring a feeling of relief I that might not have been felt had a prelate of less practical views been elected. Ecclesiastics who know of the trend of the new pointiff's mind say he has been a churchman first and a statesman only in the sense that the church also needs men of a practical turn of mind for the promotion of the faith. On the spiritual sido, therefore, it may be expected that the new pope will give a great deal of attention to the work, started by his predecessor, of reclaiming the churches of the east to the unity of Rome. Pius XI, had been Apostolic Delegate at Warsaw, and there he studied the attitude of the masses toward Rome. There can be little doubt that his thorough sympa thy with the movement ror Dringing back the churches of the cast, together with his demonstrated tact In approaching the question of relations between the Qulrinal and the Holy See, had much to do with hts election. Notsd for Learning. . The new pope was born May 30, 18.">7, at Desio, in the Brianza, Archdiocese of Milan. He is, therefore, in his sixty-fifth year. Ho is reputed to be one of the most learned men in the church. He made his preliminary studies in the diocesan seminaries of Milan and finished at Lombard College, Rome, where he received doctorates in philosophy, theology and canon law, before his ordination in 1879. Through the courtesy of Father Corbott, S. J., associate editor of the Messenger of the Sacret Heart, The Wofia la nhlr> to cive its readers an authorized sketch of tho new pontiff, written for the London Tablet of June 25, 1921, by the Right Rev. Louis Charles Cqstartelll, Bishop of Salford, England. , "He celebrated his first mass," says Bishop Casartelli, "over the tomb of St. Peter in tho Vatican basilica. On his return home he was from 1882 to 1888 professor of dogmatic theology and sacred eloquence in the diocesan seminary. In the latter year, chiefly through the influence of the celebrated scholar, Mgr. Ccriani, at that time prefect of the library, he was appointed to the staff of the College of Doctors of the world-famed Ambrosian library. "Under the sure guidance of the great scholar Ceriani, Dr. Ratti soon became master of all the scientific treasurers of that famofts library, so that on the death of Ceriani in 1907 he | was naturally and unanimously elected. to the vacant post. "The literary activity which he displayed during the years of his administration is evidenced by the long list of his scientific writings in various learned publications which lies before me, filling some two columns of an ordinary newspaper. "In the midst of all his literary and scientific labors Dr. Itatti was devoted to his work as a priest arid director of souls.

Calabiana, appointed the young priest chaplain to the new convent. For over thirty years he gave to it all the enthusiasm of his sacerdotal heart. No good, work was unacnaKen m mat ever active home of good works In which Don Achillc Ratti was not the chief cooperator. In 1883 he organized an Association of Catholic Schoolmistresses, of which he retained the direction during the whole period of his stay in the city. The Congregations of the Children of Mary for the young ladies of Milanese high society, for those of middle class, women clerks, workglrls and all the social.classes had the benefit of his direction and of his elevated and edifying though simple instruction. "The humblest of the little guests of the Cenaclo were the little chimney sweeps, a race which has disappeared from our country. These little fellows are gathered together by the gobd, < Cenaclo nuns for religious instruction, and the learned prefect of the Ambrosian library, in the midst of his absorb- < ing work, found time both to pass the afternoons of feast days in teaching < the catechism to little boys in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, and also to prepare the little chimney sweeps ] for their first communion, on the occasion of which ho would share their little feasts and innocent games. "This life of combined learned labors i and apostolic works was suddenly In- . terrupted ten years ago when Dr. Ratt! . was called to Rome as pro-prefect of H tho Vatican library and assistant to Father Ehrle, whom he succeeded as prefect in 1913, when hfc was also made 1 prothonotary apostolic. 1 "Tho creat war ended Dr. Ratti's 11 career as a librarian. The war had not 1 yet come to an end when, on April 25, i 1918 Pope Benedict sent him as aposto- I lie visitor to Poland. i "When Poland finally obtained her i independence the Holy Father, to show . his sympathy with th*e Catholic state, appointed Mgr. Ratti apostolic unucio to the new Republic of Poland, creating him, in the consistory of July 3,1919, titular archbishop of Lepanto. Displayed Great Tact.

"The situation was in every way extremely difficult and critical, but the new nuncio displayed such remarkable tact and diplomatic skill and even heroism, that he played quite a leading part in the final settlement of both the political and ecclesiastical difficulties which surrounded the birth of the new republic. "It was chiefly owing to his efforts that two articles were introduced into tho constitution of the state, the one declaring that the Catholic religion occupies the first position in the Polish state, and the second, still more practically important, that no measures concerning the Catholic church may bo taken without preliminary agreement with the Holy See. "Even outside Poland, the intrepid nuncio was able to exercise important influences in various directions. Through his diplomatic good offices, he obtained the liberation of many prisoners arid hostages from the hands of the Russian Bolshevists, including the archbishop of Mohilew and the bishop of Minsk. Quite recently he was appointed in extraordinary mission as Ecclesiastical commissioner ? for the plebiscite in upper Silesia, and this, at the' unanimous request of Poland, Germany and the inter-allied commission."
