EXPLAINS LEGION ~ POLITICS STAND Milton J. Foreman, Head of Illinois Legion, Says Men Stand For Principals and Not for Men It has seemed to me appropriate that before the beginning of the first national political campaign occurring since the war with Germany and Austria, a restatement should be made, not only as a reminder to our members, but for the information of others who are now, and until ~ November will be ,unusually soliciti- ous for the health, happiness and ma- terial prosperity of the members of our organization. The American Legion stands for principals and not for men. It sup- ports or opposes men only when they are closely identified with measures involving important principles. Representative Government It stands for constitutional, repre- sentative government, for equality under the law, for the greatest de- gree of individual liberty and in- itiative consistent with the rights of the mass. it opposes government for the benefit of classes, it depreciates the formation of political juntas for the support of class advantage, at the sacrifice of intelligent interest in all other governmental problems. The i.egion demands military and naval preparedness, at least in train- ed officers and abundance of ma- terial, so that the next generation shall not be hastily thrown into war inadequately armed and incompe- tently led. Our experience shows conclusively that neither competent officers nor adequate war material can be pro- vided between the rising and setting of the sun on the same day, however readily large numbers of inexperienc- ed and untrained men can be muster- ed within that time. Liberty of Action The individual members of the Le- gion come from all walks of life, are of various political and religious beliefs and reserve to themselves the fullest liberty of action in the exer- cise of their rights as citizens. But as an organization the Legion concerns itself only with the prin- ciples and purposes for which it was organized and will never support a man or party which directly or in- directly opposes our constitutional representative government for the benefit of all classes and conditions of our citizens. The Legion will ever keep in mind the duty our Country owes to those NEL pL EA Chop Suey Saturday Evening er SR Don't Forget TH "OUT INFRONT AND SETTING THE PACE THE CAFETERIA HOLDS ITS PLACE I 48 HE most popular place in town.

For those who were in the service the Legion demands only that con- sideration which all nations at all times have freely granted to those who opposed their bodies to the com. mon enemy, that is, the care and protection by the nation for the maimed or disabled, for the families of those who made the ultimate sac- rifice and an equalization of economic advantages with those who, for one reason or another, were not privileg- ed to serve the nation at war. Milton J. Poreman, Commander. Capt. Frazer Hale Is Busyin Peace Times Winnetka Aviator in Charge of Ad- vance Guard of Flyers Enroute Tec Camp Jackson Capt. Fraser Hale, aviator, son of Henry R. Hale, cashier of the Win- netka State Bank, is constantly achieving new honors in the service of the United States Army. The fol- lowing account in the issue of July 26 of The State, Columbia, S. C., af- fords an interesting sidelight into Capt. Hale's activity in the service. "Capt. Frazer Hale, Lieut. R. E. Davis, Lieut. Charles M. Cummings, Lieut. I. S. Webster and Lieut. D. G. Stitt, army aviators, arrived at Camp Jackson a few minutes before 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, having | flown from Camp Benning in less than three hours time. The aviators are flying army planes equipped with Liberty motors. "Captain Hale is in charge of the | flyers, who are an advance guard of | the Flight B. Fifteenth aero squad- | | WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1920 + ron, which is now on its way to Wil- mington. The entire flight is now in transit, so to speak, the equipment, men and material being eroute to Wilmington via seven railway cars composing a special train. Make Record Flight "Capt. Hale and his flyers left Montgomery about 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning, stopping over at Camp Benning, Columbus, Ga., for a little more than an hour. The four planes arrived here shortly before 6 o'clock, passing over the city and attracting considerable attention. A safe landing was made on the new flying field at Camp Jackson, near the artillery range. Capt. Hale, who has visited Columbus several times, said last night they were in the air ap- proximately three hours on the trip. "Capt. Hale and Lieut. Davis were here about a month ago on the sonth- ward trip as were several other aviators. They have been flying around in Florida, Louisiana and other states."
