Carrying On With the American Legion
Mixed feelings among Legion members as old yellow groaning tail-cubs are to be replaced. A US marine sold the New Mexico superdreadnaught to a Long Beach retiree for 300 cash, but the Navy refused delivery. An Oklahoma sheriff allowed three killings with little opposition. Ewings London, commander of the Alhmonte post, was appointed to succeed. Regional referendum votes indicate cash payment shares will vary among sergeants.

Uncle Sam May Join Reparations Commission
Washington indicates the United States may be represented on the inter allied reparations commission despite President Harding’s decision not to seek congressional authority. State department officials cite a 1921 Senate resolution and a later proclamation reserving U.S. participation unless Congress authorizes representation, leaving initiative to Congress rather than the executive. Senator Underwood urged that U S representation on the German reparation payments body is the only route to receive any portion of the payments.
