WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. (/P)—The
retirement of Frederick D. Under
wood from the presidency of the Erie
railroad after more than a quarter of
a century of service, recalls to old
time railroaders the story of the days
when Underwood was a division su
perintendent on the Chicago, Milwau
kee and St. Paul.
A waggish locomotive engineer tele
graphed from out on the line as fol
lows:
“F. D. U. engine two seven two has
bust a flue. What shall I do? Dono
hue."
Back came the reply:
“Donohue. Plug the flue in the
two seven two and fetch her through.

KIMS 1ND PURPOSES
OF Bill LEGION
Beginning with, the following article
setting forth the aims and purposes of
the American Legion, the Gateway, by
request of the local post members, will
publish each day this week de
tails regarding the organization which
has grown to such proportions since
the signing of the Armistice that its
national voice renders splendid serv
ice to the country:
When an organization comes into
being and in the space of seven years
numbers more than 100,000 bona fide
members, it is perhaps well that the
people of the country should give heed
and ascertain, if they can, what the
aims and purposes of the organization;
are. Why does it grow and why is
The American Legion given attentive
ear in the halls of Congress and in
every Legislature throughout the
land? Largely because it is an or
ganization for service—service to God,
to country and to humanity.
WTien the armistice was finally
signed, when the roar of the guns* had
ceased, when the awful stillness had
settled over fields and forests still
soggy with the blood of uncounted
thousands, and when these mighty
hosts had enjoyed a few hours sleep
as only the battle-weary can appreci
ate, the whole American army be
came one vast interrogation point.
What next? What comes after this?
Where do we go from here? These
were questions on the tongue of every
American soldier. In a day there
seemed to spring up a feeling that
something better than the horrid re
collection of battle scenes and the
nauseating odor of hospitals should
be the legacy of the greatest conflict
of the ages. Spontaneously there de
veloped in the American Expedition
ary forces a feeling that if something
oil the singleness of purpose and unity
of action that won the war could be
preserved and transferred to America
it would be mightily to the advantage
of the country. These thoughts were
in the minds of the delegates as they
assembled in the Circle theatre In
Paris, in March, 1919, to form a pre
liminary organization and adopt the
forerunner of the present American
Legion constitution. A national char
ter was granted by act of Congress
on September 16, 1919. Permanent
organization was effected and a con
stitution and by-laws adopted at the
first national convention at Minne
apolis, Minn., November 10, 1919.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
