D. C. Chapter held ts regular meeting on Thursday afterloon, April 27th, in the home of Mrs. ^ ,V. R. Godfrey. ^ Roll call was answered with the f lame of some South Carolina Confed- I ;rate officer, after which various g natters of interest were taken up. J Miss Julia Macfarlan reported the F organization of a chapter of children >f the Confederacy vwith a memberhip of twenty girls, and others anx- e ous to come in, which speaks well for \ he interest of the rising generation / n things sacred to the older Chapter.'d diss Macfarlan suggested bringing the iovs of the town in touch with the vork, many of them having express- C d a keen interest in it.* This was E aken under consideration. ^ Mrs. Huntley told of an Easter bas- g ;et carried by Miss Fannie Duvall, in E he name of the U.

Voicing intense admiration of his loyalty to his ideals, j mparallelled strength of character, L nd unfaltering courage, she held the! ympathetic interest of her hearers; u a most beautiful tribute to the man L /ho, she declared, has as truly sacri- j r iced his life for his country* as did hose other splendid herods who fell mortally wounded on the battlefield. V Miss Macfaraln gave a brief sketch N ? Gon. Pershing whose great opportunity was the World War. Her paper /as replete with information, express d in'a clear, concise manner that left hose present much better acquainted 1 cith this heroic figure in our National S ife. who was comparatively unknown C d the general public until the mobili- v ation of our troops on the Border. The social hour which followed was a reatly enjoyed, an ice course being' K erved by the hostess and her assis. p ants. g . t( A FOOL AND HIS MONEY. o tl 'o excess he'll spend and to excess ^ he'll lend, LIU11 11 Ul'lIl&S U1IU OUilUY*, le says, "I'll buy, if things are high, ^ And recompense tomorrow." a 'ou'll often meet him in the street, a With someone just his standing; !an hear his voice, above the noise, (( Some foolish thing demanding. ji le'll crank his car and drive afar, ^ To some indecent place le'll take a drink, try to make you think, > He's the greatest of his race. like Cupid's darts his money departs, The "eagle" soars away; 'or it's no joke?he'll soon "go broke" ^ In some near future day. g is long as he lends he has "dry wea- b ther" friends; But they, like his money, soon go. t may grieve his heart, when they depart, Like the dew drop they banish, you knbw.

I TION I Created \by public subscription in { recognition of the national and international services of Woodrow Wilson, , twice President of the United States, ! > who furthered the cause of human freedom and was instrumental in , pointing out effective methods for the 1 I co-operation of the liberal force sof mankind throughout the world. The Award The Award or Awards from the in5 come of the Foundation will be made from time to time by a nationally corf- i stituted committee to the individual or group that has rendered, within a specified period, meritorious service to democracy, public welfare, liberal thought or peace through justice. , A National Committee of 250 repre- ] sentative men an<l women has under; taken to establish The Woodrow Wilson Foundation. The purpose of the ( Foundation is to honor a great Ameri( can and to create a method whereby , public service will l^e encouraged and j ! eonspciously recognized in this and future generations. . ; From the income of the Foundation, j t the Woodrow Wilson Award or Awards will be granted in recognition of dist tinguished public service. j To establish this Foundation on a fitting basis, the National Committee, I through an organization in each State, t will make an appeal for a popular sub- i scription. The amount of the fund sought is $1,000,000 or more. After the fund has been raised a , | Board of Trustees, composed of eminent Americans, will be entrusted with i its permanent administration. J Woodrow Wilson. T$y Hamilton Holt i 1 It was Woodrow Wilson who focus- ] . ed the heterogeneous and often diverse | ideals of the war on the one ideal of ' pure Americanism, whic is democracy. | . The peoples with one accord followed j ! the banner he unfurled. It was Woodrow Wilson who first l announced that the United States j I wanted no territories or indemnities.; l | Europe marvelled. . j It was Woodrow Wilso nwho first . drove the wedge in between the Hohen- i zollerns and the German people. Au- i tocracy began to totter. It was Woodrow Wilson who first enunciated the basis of peace. His , fourteen points won the war. Had not he, or some other responsible head of ^ n ori*aot f 1. n A 111 ? w. (,ivuv Hunct UUUC LUIO IUC AI11CS | might have lost the war. The people ] >j hff then been fighting for over three 1 [ I years. No government had publicly ,| proclaimed the aims for which it was , asking its people to die. It looked as 1 though the whole three years of agopv i J would end In stalemate. The people were getting restive. They began to , fear an imperialistic peace. They de- ( manded to be told what the govern- i ments wanted so that having achiev, cd it the government would not make them fight on merely to gratify the s secret ambitions of selfish politicians. 1 I Mr. Samuel Gompers was invited to , go to England and France to confer with labor leaders in those countries, t He said to me afterwards: "I don't ? think, i know, that had not Woodrow Wilson or some other responsible head of a state proclaimed the aims of \ i the w-ar when he did, there would have i ' been revolutions in England and France in the early part of 1918." The drive for the Woodrow Wil on I Foundation is on now. All patriotic i j Americans should consider it u pri? i. , lege to contribute. Send or hand all ;j contributions to Mrs. H. P. Lynch or 1 i the Editor of the Chronicle. ' ( ! Kccord of Class No. 10 St. Daiitl's Episcopal Church. The record of Class No. 10 of St. .

WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, D. C., April 29.?The l utcome at Genoa seems seriously \ ireatened by reason of this government holding aloof from this effort to acify the turbulent and unsettled conitions in Europe. Harding has allowd Lloyd-George, the greatest states- J ion of his time and probably of all J Lmes, to tackle the tremendous prob?m alone and unaided; if he succeeds A. iH : places htm upon a high pedestal of lory from which all time will not ike him down. The best theory put * i, srward In Washington to account for larding's non-participation is that he aared he would be accused of doing tie thing that Woodrow Wilson would j ave done under the circumstances. * ' 1 The coal strike has been allowed to un on several weeks, with nothing one by the administration looking award its settlement. More than 00,000 men are directly affected by it flj rithout taking into consideration the idustrial plants daily shutting down ecause of coal shortage. Thp best gures obtainable indicate that 3,800,- i 00 workers are out of employment . a the United States. While Wall * ,| treet gambles in stocks at the rate f millions of shares per day on money or rowed from the banks at 3% % ble-to-work young men are begging 'i dime for food within a stone's throw f the White House grounds in Washagton. * . -J The Republican Congress still hagles with the soldiers over their bon. is, with the outcome as uncertain as he weather, while the business world waits with like uncertainty the new ariff bill. Last winter the leaders talked of adjdurnlng Congress the rst day of May: the month is here nd adjournment is one of the events o far in the future that it is not even iscussed in Washington. And the mntry waits, and waits, and waits, rhile this "business administration" oes business in a very unbusiness%k ike manner. Former Senator Beveridge seems to ave split the Republicans .of Indiana nto two warring camps. Mayor Lew ihank of Indianapolis is firing offlcetolders under the city administration f they do not come to the front for leveridge, while the Harding adminstration is lining, up the' Federal rowd for Senator New. An amusing acident' occurred at the * District Juilding in Washington the other day 'hen a darkey messenger went around u all the offices in the building with he statement that "de boss wants to ^ it de names of all de clerks what otes in India." It was finally made lear to him that the boss probably U. aeant Indiana. The Hoosiers back ame can prepare to keep open house rn* thn fArmoi. rnoi/lontQ nf thA PifatA round the date of the primary.
