For a week men recently released from the military forces of the United States have been confronted with placards calling their attention to to night's meeting at all places where ex-service men congregate. No effort has been spared to have a large and representative gathering. The patriotic purpose underlying the formation of the American Legion at St. Louis re cently has led many factions to rally to its (support, as an organization which not only will aid the men no longer in uniform, but which will prove a vital force in fighting destructive radical tendencies in this country, according to tate heads of tho legion.
