ARMED PEACE

DEMANDED BY AMERICAN LEGION

INCREASE IN FIGHTING FORCES.

WAR MATERIAL SUPPLIES

By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, Noon). CHICAGO, September 27.

The American Legion although continuing to stress that America must avoid being involved in the war, today demanded that the Government adopt immediately a programme to provide raw materials sufficient to maintain the Army, and Navy, with a minimum of a million men, for at least a year. The legion also asked for an immediate increase in the Regular Army to its full peace time strength of 280,000, with a National Guard of 486,000 and the subsequent removal of these numerical restrictions.
