fered. Major Manning's commander
general, I write to tell you

enemy nml that in making the supreme

of courage and devotion to duty

Almost from the organization of
the Seventy-ninth Division, some 14
tn- nths ago, my attention was called
to major, then captain. Manning,
li's ability, soldierly bearing and
i e^tlemanly conduct won for him
the regard and respect o all his
comrades who deeply feel his loss.

GOVERNORS M'y STATES
IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Mr. linker Says War Has Proved
ImlispcnsiMlit y of Strong
State <aOYCrlllllCllts.
Annapolis, Md., Hoc. 19. Thirtysix
state governors and governors
elect in annual conference held hero
were told by Secretary Maker that
war had proven the indispeasihility
of strong state governments in peace;
as well as war times as the principal;
agencies for mobilizing and demobl-'
lizing armies, finding work for returning
soldiers and developing better
methods of physical training for
young men At the same time he
pleaded that state authorities give
cities more freedom to work out
their individual local problems.
Early disbandment of the draft
boards and state branches of the
council of national defense as federal
agencies was advocated by the
secretary who urged, however, that'
iMjiu remain in existence intormally
to aid local authorities in solving,
problems of the readjustment period, j
Secretary Houston addressing the
governors, suggested that state covt'
ernors ascertain immediately what'
farming lands might lie available'
for use of returning soldiers. He
cautioned, however, against throwing
these men indiscriminately into
agricultural pursuits without previous
experience.
Reconstruct ion problems, particularly
those relating to labor, educa-|
lion and public lands will be dis-j
cussed by the governors at theiri
meetings.
Secretary Maker said his principal
? purpose In addressing the conference
was to express thanks for the remarkable
manner in which state and
local authorities, through defense
councils, draft boards and other of
Petals, had carried out the federal
government's wishes throughout the
war.
"This demonstration of the ability
of a democracy to carry out great'
undertakings, using Its constituted
authorities, is one of the greatest

aid.
"Instead of adding to the aggro
J?ate of centralized power this wni
f as strengthened state governments
end made them more Indispensable
than e\er in our scheme of governments."

of the principal functions of states
