Clement Retracts First Letter In a letter addressed to Dr. John M. Thomas, state chairman of the American Legion at Middlebury, Gov. Perci-val W. Clement retracts completely the letter which he sent to Doctor Thom of New York city, a few weeks ago, relating' to the returned American soldiers.

This closes the incident bo far as the Legion is concerned and while some of the more aggressive members of that body do not think the governor has gone far enough, it is the belief of the majority that he-has publicly admitted that his own views and thoughts were not expressed in the original letter and that he stands back of the American soldier. The letter in retraction is as follows: "Dr. John M. Thomas, "Commander, Vermont American Legion, "Middlebury, Vt. "Dear Doctor: "I know that the letter from my office addressed to Doctor Thom is not correct.

There is a sentence or paragraph left out whieh would make the context more clear. The stenographer who took the dictation is not here so I cannot, at the moment, tell what did happen. You knowwe have in Vermont few positions to offer and while I have naturally favored the returned soldier in making appointments, the returned soldiers have themselves made no application for positions. "While the state of Vermont stands ready to relieve distress among soldiers to the extent of its ability, there has been no application for such relief. Under these conditions you can see such an interpretation as was put upon the letter is not in accordance with the facts as they exist.

I regret that a letter was sent out which could be construed as a reflection upon the soldier for nothing could be further from my own wish or thought. "I am sending a copy of this letter to Dr. Thom for his information. "Yours very truly, (Signed), "Percival W. Clement." at Evanston, 111., after a course at Syracuse university.
