LEGION POST CELEBRATES BY GIVING SMOKER Members of Famous Organizat ion Enjoy Addresses By Noted Veterans The university post of the American Legion celebrated the signing of the armistice with a smoker given in the Clariosophic Literary Society hall last Tuesday evening. A large crowd of the members was present to listen to ad dresses by Capt. Morris Lump kin and Maj. Gen. Read and to spend a while in a friendly smoke. Chaplain Campbell opened the meeting with prayer, after which Maj. Bradley, command er of the post here, introduced Capt. Lumpkin, an alumnus of the university. Capt. Lumpkin made an inspiring address on the "spirit of the army at home and abroad." He stressed the importance of carrying that spirit with us every where we go, and especially to use it in our dealings as members of the American Legion. "It was the brave American spirit that car ried our boys over the trenches to victory," said Capt. Lump kin, "and it is the same spirit that is going to make the Amer ican Legion a success." Maj. Gen. Read, commander of Camp Jackson, was next in troduced. His address bore di rectly on the subject of uni versal military training, which he strongly urged. "The vol unteer system proved an abso lute failure, clue mainly to its slowness in getting men into the army and I see no other means of protecting the coun try and the outlying possessions except by universal service," said Gen. Read. He advocated the enrolling of every young man of the nation when he reached the age of 19, or 21 and in this way the country would have its man power ready to be called into the ser vice similar to the selective draft, except somewhat sim pler. General Read said he favor ed mobilizing the young men for training each year long enough to get them wvell drilled in army tactics andl to teach them the fundamentals of war, bult not too long seriously to in terfere with their civil life.
