In his addreBs, delivered in - the
wonderfully attractive . Woodland
theatre on the college- campus, Mr.
Harris ' set a precedent for saying
much "in short space of time. He
spoke only IS minutes and quit while
his audience was hungry for more df
the same, but he packed into, those
few minutes words that stirte his.
hearers , to frequent . applause ' , and
gave them a new vision. . ;
Motto for .Legion Members , ,
Mr. Harris made. an appeal fdr the
League of Nations, not as something
dead which should be mourned but
as a living thing which the-united ef
fort of Legion members the country
over can charge with 'new life and
purpose if by. united and determined
effort they will .force the; United
States to take its rightful place as. a
leader among the nations that have
joined hands in the effort to avoid
future wars. References made by the
speaker to former President Wilson
were greated with - hearty applause.
The American Legion, said the
speaker- should, take as its
motto , that wan , should be
made impossible,, and should
keep up the fjght until the United
States goes into the League of Na
tion!., It can be done,' he said, if the
four million Legion men in the Unit
ed States determine that' is shall be
done. This he, declared to; be. a, purpose-worthy?
to -engage' the effort of
the Legion. The United States; has
lost, he said, the lofty position it went
in the fegard of the world 'by its
unselfish stand during ; the war, had
losf it by the short-sighted and jealousy-inspired
blunders, of a Republi
can Senate, but the American Legion
can yet. save it and' civilization, t-
' Mr. Harris rapidly reviewed - some
history of this great republic from
its natal day 14ft years ago and with
a f ew-deft strokes placed boldly up
on the canvass the record of undying
fame made by American service men
in the great war in which 1 Charlie
waii, a-? rPed; prngs .Vboy,V' .among
others, lost' his, life. In closing hdei
clared that- America ' and England
