Hallenga, national committee man of the legion, and Kale Burgess. .of Raleigh, State committeeman of the legion, were features. Mr. Hollenga, known as the "Billy Sunday of the American Legion," spoke enthusiastically in behalf of 100 per cent Americanism and voiced op position to the liberty now allowed Eu gene V. Debs, on his recent visit to Washington, and inveighed against dis plays of radical speech and behavior. As an example of what he meant, he told of an incident recently in Milwau kee where the American Legion was holding a meeting on one floor and 125 Germans were on a floor below singing "Die acht Am Rhein" and seeking to annoy legion members by flaunting their allegience to Germany. Mr. Bur gess introduced Mr. Hollenga. MEN IN HOSPITALS Mr. Hollenga, discussing the hospi talization program of the American le gion, said that in addittion to 40,000 former service men in hospitals now, there are 30,000 more disabled men un dergoing treatment in hospitals. Wiliam Myers Jones made a report of the status of the soldier relief fund raised by Hornets.Nest Post, telling of what has been done for the relief of former service men hereabout and what is being planned. Dr. J. P. Mattheson. who recently returned from a trip to France, was called upon by Commander Beall to tell something of his impressions of that country as he found it since the war. He reported, among other things, that the French apparently took great pride in keeping in good condition the ceme teries where American soldiers are buried. Wlater Craven reported that the post now has a paid-up membership of 3o9 which good showing he attributed to zealous work done by a committee of the post headed by Lane Etheredge. A resolution instructing Commander Beall to send a wire of congratulation to John G. Emery, who w&s on Tues day elected national commander of the legion to succeed the late Col. Gal braith, was adopted by the post. HARVEY IS CONDEMNED The resolution condemning the utter ances of Col. Harvey were drawn by a commictee of the post consisting of M. R. Dunnagan, Walter Clark, Jr., and Francis O. Clarkson. It reads: 'Whereas, George Harvey, the am bassador to Great Britain, has recent ly declared that America fought m the World war laggardly and selfishly, therefore, 'Be it . resolved, that Hornets Nest Post No. 9, American Legion, considers it evident that the ambassador was unable to share in the motives which led his countrymen into war, or to appreciate the splendid idealism of their leader, Woodrow Wilson, and furthermore, that while he may repre sent the present administration at the court of St. James only by a stretch cf the imagination can he be considered to represent the people of this repub lic." " The resclution on the death of Col-, onel Galbraith, adopted at the meeting last night, follows: "Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God in His infinite wisdom to take by sudden death our distinguished and be loved national commander, Frank W. Galbraith and whereas, in his death the American Legion has lost an able, brave and zealous leader, who in war, was a brave soldier, and in peace a courageous leader in the fight for jus tice to our wounded and broken com- "Now, therefore. Be it Resolved, by Hornets Nest Post, No. 9, depart ment of North Carolina, American le gion, in meeting assembled this day, that we denlore this irreparable loss to the American legion, and we deeply sympathize with the family of the de ceased; and, "Be it Further Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be sent to na tional headquarters, o the wife of our deceased comrade, and to the daily pa pers of this city.
