Galbraith Jr., national commander of the Ameri can Legion at the time of his acciden tal death at Indianapolis, Ind., in June, will not be interred in Arlington na tidnal cemetery at Washington, D. C., according to advices last week from the widow and brother of the late commander. Burial will be made at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, 0., where the body was placed in a temporary vault following the largest military funeral in America since the Civil War. With the practical closing of the harvest season, the employment of flee of an American Legion post at Aberdeen, S. D., where I. W. W.'s tried to cause a general "strike" among farm hands, has closed. In three weeks the Legion served 1,017 free meals, found jobs for 617 men, gave 304 places to sleep, gave 373 free baths and 12 treatment by the poit physician. Th., city election in Birmingham, Ala., way be postponed at the request of an American Legion post of that city. The service men want to vote. When a law exempting them from poll tax was declared unconstitution al recently, the men were disqualified as voters. Thirty thousand world war veterans of the state are affected. Evidence of the plight of unemploy ed service men was carried to cultured Boston, Mass., last week when Ar mand T. Gaudreau, University of Maine graduate besought the Ameri can Liegion employment bureau for any work that he could do. Previous ly Gandreau, dressed in his collegiate cap and gown, appeared in the streets of the banking section, selling news papers. A silver reprolduction of the historic statute atop Castle San Angelo, Itly, mounted onl a pedestal of stone fromI Mount Grappa, will be brought to the American Legion by General Armado Diaz, commander of the Italian arnics when he attends the Legion conven tion at Kansas City in October, cable dispatches declare. To seni back to her home on the Rhine the German widow of an Am erican doughboy, wearer of live battle clasps anid cited for valor, the Ameri can Legion of New York is raising a fund of $250. Tle veteran met his bride while with the Army of Occupa tion and through illness left. her prac tically plenniless upon his recent death. .Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, and Charles R. Rorbes, national director of the bureau of war risk insurance, spoke on the same platform in addressing the state con vention of the American Legion of North Carolina last week. The old Grand Pacific Hotel in Chi cago wVill be taken over by the Am eroaan Leg.ion of that city for the ex clusive use of, hom'ess and jobless service men in plans now being work ed out by the Legionnaires. Accomo <ations will be provided for 1000 men. When President Harding visits Bir mingham, Ala., in October, he will be attended by an honor guard of 1,000 members of the American Legion, drawn from each of the 80 posts of the state. The parents of Merle Ilay, one of the first three Americans killed in the world war, will receive no insurance because their boy died before the war risk act became operative. The Ain erican LTegion of Iowa, Hay's home state, has 1)etitioned for the parents' relief and is seeking to find any other pa rents who sons "d(i ed too soon.'' Mlic'h:el 1E.
