TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8. 1919. LEGION KEEPS AFTER ALIEN WAR DODGERS Men Who Avoided Military Duty Are Hunted. DEPORTATION IS DEMANDED Second Appeal to Be Sent Employ ers of Slackers; Publicity Is AUo to Be Vtilized. ization. when it meets here next month, will indorse every step which has thus far been taken and will also adopt res olutions asking- that the demands of the Portland post be carried out by federal authorities. "There is no question but that the state convention will approve of this action said Mr. Peck. "In fact, every loyal American citizen will give in dorsement to a movement which means ridding- this country of aliens who ac cepted our protection but were too cow ardly to fipht." The Postland post has received as surance from other American Legion posts about the state that they will lend every possible assistance in the movement and will .do their partr in helping to ferret out alien slackers in every community in Oregon. Determined to rid Oregon of its for eign-born slackers, Portland post No. 1, American Legion, now has an investi gating: committee at work procuring all possible data against those aliens who claimed and got exemption from war service because of their foreign nativity. The legion, after completing its in vestigation and compiling all data, will press with federal authorities a de mand that these slackers be deported to their native countries as quickly as . possible. C. R. Peck, president of Portland post, announced yesterday that these investigations are now nearing com pletion, and the organization of vet erans will not stop until it has suc ceeded in ridding the state and nation of these undesirable and un-American aliens. The legion plans a course of "pitiless publicity" in a determined ef fort to pry these "slackers" loose from good paying jobs. It recently completed the compilation of a list of slackers, which, in addition to being published, was sent to employers throughout the northwest. Second A ppeal Planned. Another list is now being pre pared by the investigating committee and as soon as it is completed, it, too, - will be sent to employers, who will be urged to discharge all men in their employ who are known to be alien slackers. "We are determined to make life a burden for every alien who claimed exemption from service because he was an alien," announced Mr. Peck. "Fur thermore, we do not propose to stop at that. We first want these un patriotic slackers to lose their jobs, and then we will insist that this gov . ernment deport them. "Our investigations are covering not only those aliens who sought to with draw their citizenship papers to keep out of an American uniform, but we also are after everv a.lin u'hn n sought to evade service on that I ground." It was said that a final checking up of all available records of this class of slackers would disclose con ' siderably more than 100 of them still working in the state. Before the close of the war, state draft officials fre quently threatened to ask for the de portation of these men. State Support Expected. Although the Portland post la spon soring the present offensive against this particular class of slackers, the officers and members of the organiza tion arp ponridpnt that the state organ- 6 ASS VALLEY MAN DEAD L.

(Spe cial.) Plans for the completion of the county courthouse in Hot Springs ad d it ion. which structure was abandoned last spring by the former county court for the new building completed this year at Main and Fourth streets, have now been completed by Architect A. F. Heide of this city, and it is evidently the purpose of the present court to com plete the Hot Springs edifice whenever the legal situation will permit such action. With the courthouse situation in the legal tangle which now exists, it is not probable that any new construction will be undertaken until some decision rendered by Judge F. M. Calkins of Jackson county, before whom the mat ter is being fought out. SCHOOLS INVITE SOLDIERS MAN Y INSTITUTIONS WOULD AID SERVICE MEN.

North Portland, Or., while In the Owl Drug Store, recently. I had. been a sufferer from indiges tion and stomach trouble mot all cny life." continued Mrs. Losey, "but my condition had gradually gotten very much worse during the past eight or ten years. My appetite got so poor I hardly ever wanted to eat and what little I did at I just had to force down. because I knew I had to eat something to keep up the little strength I had left, but I had to be very careful about my food,, as it bloated me up with gas so badly at times I suffered terribly with pains in my stomach and my heart would palpitate. I would feel just like I was smothering. Why. lots of nights I suffered so from shortness of breath I had to get up and sit in a chair for hours at a time, because I was actually afraid to lie down. I also had pains and a "heavy feeling in my right side and around my shoulder blades at times and was troubled a great deal with awful dizzy spells and my nerves were all unstrung and the least noise out of the ordinary would upset me. 1 simply hadn't a particle of energy and it was a drag for me all the time to keep up and I got so awfully run down in health I was hardly more than skin and bones. 1 took all sorts of medicine but nothing gave me any relief and it just seemed like the more I took the worse I got. "1 had read a lot about Tanlac and then a friend of mine, who had been taking it, advised me to try it, so I did and that first bottle did me so much good that I felt I had found the right medicine at last, so 1 got another bot tle and when I had taken it I noticed a marked improvement in my condi tion, because I was eating better and relished my food more. Why, before I took Tanlac I could hardly drink coffee and if I ate even a little bite of onion it would simply poison me, but now I can drink coffee and eat all the onions want and never suffer a bit afterwards. have taken Tanlac right along and have already gained some in weight and am now feeling stronger in every way; in fact, I am actually feeling better health than I have in years. have told lots of my friends to take Tanlac and will gladly tell others who are suffering like I did." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug company. Adv. spoke after the luncheon was O. M. Plummer, manager of the Pacific in ternational livestock show.
