THE STORY OF THE AMERICAN LEGION BF POSTHISTORIAN Interesting Account of the Origin Of the Legion in France THE PARIS CAUCUS In the (ongoing chapters of thi» narrative, the word "Thinkers* ha* been uaed, personified, and relative to a certain group or clique "of men. in the American Expeditionary Forces in Frgmx, whose separate thought* toiled on this mutual subject, without there necessarily being an interchange of thoughts between any of them. The writer at thii» time refrain* from going into detail concerning the identity, rank and standing of these personages so chronicled. Suffice it to say, that they were men of mature thought and reflection. with a wide experience of the world and it* ways, and a genial understanding of the dashing fervor of youth. In this group the Great Idea to conceived, developed and perfected, the course of perfection leading "through channels" (with which term every ex-service man I* quite familiar). Then early in February, 1919, came the call, a call that reached to every divisional, brigade, regimental, battalion, and company commander in the fighting branches, and to the commanding officer of each unit and section of auxiliary troops. TYienee it was transmitted, not to any select of the military, bat to the men in the rank and file — to the very backbone and sinew of , the machinery' of war — the private . aoldier. The call, with a preliminary , summary of it* interest and purpose, concluded in the require- , ment of a representative from , each regiment or corresponding unattached unit, to sit in caucus , In Paris, to create an organization , to be composed entirely of, anil known as men and women, who saw actual service with the American Forces during the World War. At thin caucus, a short time ' later, the natural democratic spirit of American* stood out in such evidence, as to astound European* to whom such is largely unknown, •nd decidedly not customary, i Here privates sat side by aide c with generals, colonels and ser- 1

NMany questions did come up. and ir. each case were acted upon with the conriousness of the important part, each would plav in a long and eventful future. This in wa* the foundation needed if it were to he built weiL Among the question* arising a: this first convention, was that of a name for the organization. Manygood ones were suggested, ar. i , finally after much debate the 1 name "American Legior" was del" rided upor.

Two r. words that carry with them no if idle boast of those who Have dared, who have lurking behind ,* them no suggestion of the "we are g it" attitude— but just two words, ,f a* fair and broad a* the great i. land from whose seed it sprang— All present hail learned, and ,f learned well, in the months just i- Iiehind them, what the word g "American" meant. An authorityquotes the meaning of "Legion" a as "an organized com posit multi- •- tude, capable of gigantic force." n So American Legion it was; and h after the other fundamental task, n of organization had been accomplished, the delegates returned to I, their posts of duty, and the infant d organization started from that day . to make history — which it will jr continue to do until taps is blown g over the still form of the last r American veteran of the World f «'ar. fTo be continued.)
