Tho casualty list goes on. The
World War ended November 11, 1918,
for most of us. Since that date
America has not seized Its morning
newspaper to rend in haste, and in
fear, fhat list of those "Dead on the
Field of Honor." The poppies of six
Bum mors hayo covered the scars of
Flanders Field and babies walk and,
tfillr nml ntr.i- 1
when tho last shell burst beyond the
Meuso, , But. the casualty list goes on.
During 1924 more than five thou
sand men died In thq United States
from disabilities directly originating
In their. World War service. ( Those
are the deaths officially recorded and
certified by the government as due to
. war causes. There were others not
so of record.
V Fifteen evory day. And the others
not "of record." ,
At each sunset we know that fif
teen moro have gone. "Dead on the
Field of Honor" as surely as those
who rest under the little crosses, row
on ' rpw, in -northern France. Not
mercifully "killed in. .". action," but
mercilessly scarred nnd maimed, and
tortured these, long years, going at
last to a rest they have earned not
once but a thousand times. And the
widows and the orphans are here in
more numbers today then yesterday,
and more tomorrow than today.
In 1922 tho deaths "directly trace
able to service origin" were 455C. In
1923 they fell off to 4304. In the
first half 'of 1924 they rose again, to
2721 tor .half a year. Where Is the
end to bo?
In a hospital In Texas, built by the
American. Legion, tho national com
mander .of the legion stood last
autumn by tho bedside of a ase"
In the final stages of tuberculosis.
The boy could hnrdly speak. To tho
strong man holding his hand he whis
pered: "I know. I am a legionnaire.
For God and country. God is going j
along; with you, commander, in your
work. See tho boys through."
So it Is that members of the legion
cannot forget about the war, and will
not let America forget. Not so long
as there Is a disabled man who may
be cured. .Not so long as there is a
soldier's orphan without a. good
American home.
The American Legion, chartered by
congress, has carried during six years
of reconstruction since the Warld war
a large load, shared by governmental
agencies, in the care and cure of the
war's disabled men, and in the care,
upbringing and education of the or
phaned children of those who gave
their lives In battle. This responsibil
ity, welcomed by the legion, has been
shared by the people of the United
States, - The legion has spent its own
funds, has sometimes . borrowed
money, has often been unable, to see
very far ahead Into the sources for
financial needs, has received numer
ous gifts. The fiscal policy book of
the largest, war relief problem In
America has been frankly "hand to
mouth." . Such a policy is neither
Just, adequato nor economical. For
this work there must be nothing left
to chance.
Based on this six years experience

American Legion Endowment fund of
five million dollars, as a perpetual
trust frtim which only the Income
shall be used as the financial back
bone of the rehabilitation and child
welfare work of the legion, the cen
tral generating plant for the nation
wide activity of 11,000 legion posts
and .5500 legion auxiliary -units of
women, which together ...throw more,
than 900,000 volunteer workers into
this field. ,
The, endowment plan Is a practical
and business-like undertaking. Hap
pily the common sense thing to do is
also the thing which appeals to every
sound and worthy emotion. It is a
right and sacred duty to cure the dis
abled man. . The legion's motto of
"Temporary Care Permanent Cure"
expresses tho determination that
every sufferer from wounds and di
sease should be made whole, should
be restored in body and mind nnd
spirit to become a self-supporting and
self-respecting citizen, and not left to
perpetual care in a public institution.
That program is as sound and econo
mical as It Is appealing and humane.
It is right that eve-y child of a
father, who died for his country be
given as good a home, as good edu
cation, as fair an American chance In
life as if that father's sacrifice had
not been needed. It Is vastly less
costly to save the child now, than
to permit It to grow up in Ignorance,
poverty and neglect to a life of vice,
pauperism or crime. Every needy
child saved to healthy maturity In
body and sound development in char
acter Wves thousands of dollars to
society, which carries the heavy bur
den of criminality, pauperism and
viciousness. Ninety-three per cent of
criminals have a record of neglected
childhood.
The, American Legion Endowment
Is a sound Investment.

: Orpheum Jr. vaudeville at Hunt's
Craterfau last night was of exceptional
merit throughout and one of the best
shows of the -season, containing as it
did variety iu . large and wholesome
portions. ' ' '
When vaudeville patrons of this
town applaud a dancing act, further
than the courtesy Mup, it must be
good, and that is what they did for the
"Revue Comique." The act contained
classical and comedy elements and the
audience liked beat the burlesque
features..
The entire bill from start to finish
was excellent and lived up to their
advance reports of being a "big time"
Bhow. Another pleasing feature was
that, the singing was good and the
show went with a snap.
Fiske and Fallon offered "Words
and; Music." and the lady member of
the act imitated a violin well-nigh to
perfection; Claymo entertained with
modeling and Armstrong and Smith lh
"On the Highway" poked fun at auto
mobiles and their tinkerers.
The Florensis, European poseurs
and equilibrists, for the closing num
ber presented a beautiful act, along
with plenty of daring balancing.
It was a good bill and thoroughly
enj&yed by a large house.
