Ag bead of the Legion he has been active In behalf of the organization In urging legislation fnvorablo to ex-serv-lee men.

Novor Actlvo In ToUtlcs Air Galbraith was n Republican, but never' actively engaged in politics, and was never a candidato for public office. In Cincinnati, however, ho was active In civic movements for moro than twenty years. He onco passed the entrance ex amination to Annapolis, but never matriculated. , . ., ... While In France Colonel Galbraith was greatly beloved by his men. On one of the bitterest nights in tho Ar lonnc, exhausted nlmost to the point or collapse, he had thrown himself down on the cold earth to get a bit of sleep and rest. A soldier, seeing his condi tion, crept Into a German dugout aim obtained a coat for him and then took off his own overcoat, too, and wrapped It about tho sleeping officer then a major. , , , . It took Major Galbraith six weeks to discover who that soldier was, nnd when ho did find him he learned that the dotdiboy had been a hobo, a wan derer, even had been a jailbird before tho war. But ho was n man. The war had purified him. He had a heart of gold, and today ho is In tho employ ment of the paper company of which Galbraith was president nt tho time he died. Boston, .Tune 0. (By A. P.) Henry .1. Byan, who was injured at Indianapolis today when F. W. Gal braith was killed, is widely known In New England as "Sailor" Ryan. His home is here. Ryan was nn ordinary senmnn during the war, vvboso personality nnd speaking ability caused him to be assigned to re cruiting tours. After serving as state chairman of tho Legion's Americanism Commission ho was ndvanccd to na tional director, following the resigna tion of Colonel Arthur Woodb, former Assistant Secretary of War. Colonel Franklin D'Olicr, former commander of the American Legion, was greatly shocked to hoar of Com mander Galbralth's death. "I cannot express how deeply grieved I feel, personally, over his death," ho said, "and his comrades In tho Legion and friends will feel not only a sense of personal loss, but nlso that a most valuable citizen lias been removed in his moment of greatest usefulness." "This is the greatest blow tho Amer ican Legion could possibly have flut tered at this time," said Romaln Hass rick, former secretary of the Philadel phia County Committee of tbc Legion, and romrannder of Benjamin Franklin Post No. -105. "The five-fold compensation legisla tion Is now before Congress." he said, "and it was Co nmander Galbraith who Inspired, promp ed and ndvanccd It. It was given Its Hie through tho efforts of Commander Galbraith. In fact, the ad vance of tho entire Legion legislation program to a point where It is now vir tually law was due to his efforts." Thomas W. Moore, county chairman of tho American Legion in this city, declared : "The death of Commander Galbraith is tuck a terrible shock It leaves me nlmokt speechless. It will bt n terrible blow to all Legion meu, coming nt n time when ho has been pnrtlcularly active In the Interest of the disabled.
