Big Rush to Renew Legion Membership Membership of the American Legion shows a great quickening of interest, Lemuel Holies, national adjutant of the ^organization lias declared, after reviewing tlie rapid renewal of mem- rship for 1924c Figures In the baiuls of the officials of the organiza tion, Indicate that renewals are 35 per cent greater than in any previous year, which fact is taken as a sign of a healthy condition. Mr. Holies hua said that such an Increase is due primarily to the op position to the demands of ex-service BTeTTfor HTljusted - compensathm, whiehr. lie says, has only served to unify the veterans that tkelr request may lie heeded. He says tliat charges tp the contrary are unfounded and only in spired by designing persons who seek to discredit tlie Legion because of its. program. One Indication of tlie increased in terest, 'according to tiie Legion man, Is tiie unusual sales made by the dl- .vlsfon which, handles official jewelry for the organization. In two -weeks prior tq -Christmas, the sales of this division exceeded by more than throe times, those of-tlie previous yegr. An other sign taken by tlie national offi cials as a - splendid forecast, is .the rapid filling of tlie "Five Hundred Clubs” of posts which boast of ‘more than. 1,000'members.
