The memorials will be engrossed by States in alphabetical order and mail- ed in suitable tubes to the addresses of the persons entitled thereto as shown by the records of the War De- partment. No application for a memorial is necessary or required. Department commanders and com- manding officers of all stations are hereby charged with the duty of giv- ing as wide publicity to this matter as possible, advising all concerned that the memorials will be mailed to each person entitled thereto as rapidly as they are engrossed, and that corres- pondence with reference to the date that a memorial may be~ expected to be received will be discouraged. Owing to delays in securing suitable paper and to the amount of work in- volved the certificates, it will be well toward the end of the present calendar year before the last of the certificates ‘are ready for mailing. The wound cer- tificates will be the first to be pre- ‘ pared—paper for the death certificates , \ auto is in for repairs. | CERTIFICATES TO | at suffrage hearings in Washington in 1918-1919.- The valiant name which this group gave itself in 1917 did not serve to camouflage the purpose for which it was organized.
