Canadian War Minister Firm in Be. fusal to Order Change of Rami Pol lowing Protest by United States. Toronto. Ont, May 25. (I. N. S.) The American legion, which has been recruited In Canada, will retain the words "American Legion" on the badges of the four battalions formed. Protest was entered with the British government by the United States gov ernment some time ago against use of this title. This protest was forwarded to the Canadian government, but is being disregarded. Sir Sam Hughes, Canada's war min ister, when here inspecting the legion, ratified his order to retain the original badges. It is the Canadian view that the United States has no monopoly of the word "America" and the phrase is used to distinguish the 6000 fight ers from across the border from their comrades. The legionaries greeted this announcement with cheers.
