POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse Indignation Over
"Horror on the Rhine" Proves
Dismal Failure.
"The Germanophlle attempt to
arouse American indignation over 'the
horror on the Rhine' and thereby to
lead to a split, spiritual rather than
diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed of its purpose
in precisely the same way that Ger-
man propaganda in this country failed
in every one of the years between
1914 and 11)18," says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
"The truth is merely that the Ger-
mans do not know how to go about
it. 'Kultur' obviously does not include
any knowledge of the fine art of get
ting someething over, a fact amply at-
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Von Mach style of persuasiveness is
no more subtle than the efforts of a
St. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood floor. It is flattering the
Von Mfich type of 'boring from within'
to call its insidious. Insidious it is
however, in its intent if not in its ap-
plication.
"Dr. Von Mach has proved himself
a poor servant of his country, wheth
er he regards his country as America
or Germany, lie is a poor American
for having tried to win America over
to the point of view of the unrepen
tant nation to defeat whose govern
ment 100,000 Americans gave their
lives, for attemping to resurrect
hyphen that was theoretically buried
just three years ago. He is a poor
German because his clumsiness has
served only to arouse America to the
fact that she is still at war with Ger-
many."

Two-Headed Animal Aids in Raising
Organization's Funds From
$100 to $1,500.
The Golden Calf of the Twentieth
century has been discovered by the
American Legion post at Fredericks-
burg, Va„ which owes an increase in
its working capital from $100 to $1,500
to a two-headed juvenile cow, in full
title to which the post invested its
scant $100 last fall.
Having induced a Westmoreland
county farmer to part with the freak
animal for this sum, a special levy of
various small amounts was made
upon the treasury to buy nourishment
for the calf. Then came the Virginia
state fair in Richmond and the calf
was in full bloom, eating both his
heads off and waxing fat withal.
The Fredericksburg post put him
on exhibit, charging a suitable fee.
When the fair was over and the dust
had settled, the post treasury con-
tained $1.500—the accrued earnings of
LEGION ROLLERS UNDER THEM
Ex-Service 'Men Promptly Halt Ex-
ploitations of Pro-German
Troublemakers.
In response to the warning issued
by their national commander, F. W.
Galbraith, Jr., American Legion mem-
bers in many parts of the country
have been active in fighting against
efforts of pro-Germans and other
hyphenated persons to drive a wedge
between America and her allies in the
World war.
Twenty-five thousand patriotic citi-
zens of New York attended the "All
American Meeting for God and Coun-
try," which was held In Madison
Square Garden under the auspices of
the Legion, as a protest against a pre-
ious pro-German meeting, said to be
for the purpose of creating sentiment
gainst the alleged "Horrors on the
Rhine."
When word was received in Phila-
delphia that Dr. Edmund von Mach,
notorious German propagandist, was
planning to hold a meeting in that
city, Legion members and other pa-
triotic citizens opposed the proposi-
tion and succeeded in blocking the
scheme.
Similar action was taken by the
Legion and various societies in Indian-
apolis. Among the organizations co-
operating with the Legion was the na-
tional executive committee of the
American Gymnastic union, composed
of a large membership of citizens of
German extraction, which insisted
upon unhyphenated citizenship and
scored Von Mach and George Sylves-
ter Vlereck. On the same day the In-
dianapolis board of public works an-
nounced It would not permit the use
of Its large convention hall for the
roposed Von Mach meeting.
Learning that Louisville was on the
proposed itinerary of Doctor Ton
Mach, the Kentucky department of
the Legion instructed posts to use
every lawful means practicable to
stop the threatened invasion of Bovthe
propagandists." The Kentucky Legion's
bulletin also warned against the ac-
tivities of Viereck.
Legion posts have also opposed the
hyphenates in Chicago, Cleveland,
Omaha, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

THREE VOICES AT ONE TliJlE
Minneapolis Legion Man Can Sing
Tenor, Bass and Baritone Parts
Simultaneously.
Wonder voices have been heraU\ t
the world over, at least since the in-
ception of the
press agent But
it was left for Joe
Kaufman, a for-
mer army ser-
geant and an
American Legicn

ly, carrying tho

mony and control
of three siugers.
Kaufman is a government music stu-
dent.
The secret of Kaufman's unusual
accomplishment has baffled voice ex-
perts as well as himself. Several
years ago he discovered his ability to
I produce overtones which gave the
! sound of more than one part. He en-
' tered the MacPhail school at Minne-
' apolis as a government student and,
as his voice strengthened and became
clearer, he developed the curious trio.
The only case remotely similar to
that of Kaufman, according to his In-
structor in the government school, is
that of a woman singer in whose voice
could be distinguished one separate
overtone, over which she had practi-
cally no control. The former soldier
in some way has separated and con-
trolled tenor, bass and baritone parts
simultaneously.
Calif., "and that's been a long time,
for I'm now in my sixty-eighth year.
"I remember when I was a child I
was kept- on a strict diet of lime
water and milk for weeks and I have
been in constant distress all these
years. I suffered terribly from bloat-
ing and had to be very careful of what
I ate. I became so weak and nervous
I could hardly go about my housework
and was in a miserable condition.
"About two years ago my husband
got such splendid results from Tanlac
he insisted on my taking it and the
medicine wasn't but a little while in
ridding me of my troubles. It gave
me a splendid appetite, and I could
enjoy a good hearty meal, even things
1 hadn't dare touch before, without
any fear of it troubling me.
"Then I had the influenza and he-
came dreadfully sick and weak, but
my stomach kept in good order and it
only took four bottles of Tanlac to
build me up again to where I'm now
feeling better than at any time I can
remember. I have gained eleven
pounds in weight, too, and words can't
express the gratitude I feel toward
Tanlac. I keep Tanlac in the house
all the time now, for I know it is a
medicine that can be depended upon."
