D.A. R MAGAZINE'S| | NOTED HERE AND THERE RECORD APPLALDED Editor’s Annual Report Tells ‘A of Increasing Popularity Eiy, of Publication. 7The report of Miss Natalie Sumncr Sincoln. aditor of the official maga- zine of the Daughtres of the American Revolution, received enthusiastic ap- plause from the congress. Miss Lin- coln particularly pleased the dele- wates when she reported that quring the past year the requests from other publications for permission to copy articles printed in the Daughters magazine had increased considerably. Miss Lincoln's report developed the fact that during the past year more space than before has been devoted 10 the officlal news of the national =oclety, the departments of work of 1he chapter and the historical pro- grams. The genealogical department, ably conducted by Mrs. Edith Roberts Ramsburgh, also has been given greater space, with gratifying re- sults. n addition,” said the report, “thir- ty-five special articles have been pub- lished in that time, most of them dealing with the revolutionary war, while nine were genealogical in char- acter and two dealt with the world war. We are receiving more and more requests from other periodicals 1o reprint our articles, the last re ceived coming from the National gociation of Postmasters of the Unit- «cd States, which asked for Mr. John C. Fitzpatrick’s article on “The Post Office of the Revolutionary War,” to reprint in the Postmaster's Gazette, giving due credit to our magazine and the author. “It is becoming more and more the established custom for chapters to include the magazine when arranging yrograms for their meetings. reading the messages from the president gen- oral, other official news, and various artiocles which appear in it. It is our alm to have the maguzine of use to each and every member of our or- ganization and make it wortby of this great national society. That i3 gaining an ever-widening fleld ls shown by finding the magazine in thousands of private homes, libraries and schools.

R, produced statis- tics and fleures showing that the ore ganization had achfeved vast results during her stewardship. The membership gain alone amounted to 36,086, and during the administration epproximately 375,000 copies of the Im- migrant's Manual for the guidance to incoming aliens were distribu For the purpose of spreading Americaniza- tion work in this fashion approximately $48.000 was spent. Above all other achievements dur- ing the administration now drawing to a close, however, is a work_ that speaks for ‘itself. The new admin- istration_building at_the rear of Me- morial Continental Hall, which has demonstrated in many ways during the convention its absolute necessity already, was planned and erected at a cost of more than $200.000. under the direction of a special committee | which w headed by Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey as chairman. | The report left the impression that| Mrs. Minor_ sincerely regarded the work done during her administration not as the result of her o h | direction, but by the organization | 1tse th the president general o cupying the position of an instrument | wellded by the organization AT THE D.

A definite announcement was made by a newcomer that no politics wou be discussed because of the rumors concerning rumors which had al- legedly been attributed to the Penn- sylvania headquarters of Mrs. An- thony Wayne Cook Beneath the roof of the Willard also is the District of Columbia head- quarters of Mrs. G.

YR secret was made of the fact that Mrs, George Thacher Guernsey of Kansas, one of the recognized floor teaders of the D. A.

Warm and enthusiastic races for the honor show the interest that is mani- fosted by the delegates and the im- portance which ther attach to the office. Accordingly, vesterday rumors of the arrival of a “dark horse” in the race were being spread abroad Exactly who this “dark horse” may be is speculative and problematic. Today will find state delegations Mrs meeting for the discussion of state business. It is believed that many of these meetings will form virtual caucuses for the elections. At any event, what goes on behind the doors of the meetings will be interesting, although definite word of it will probably never come out directly. Miy Marion Howard Brazler, Journalist and author, is at the con ress again this year from Paul ones Chapter, Boston, Mass. She is the former regent and founder of the chapter, which was organized in 189%. Since that time she has been attend- ing continental congresses and this makes the twenty-fifth one. The chapter was organized in honor of Admiral Dewey and the United States Navy and is the only one with this name in the United States. The New Willard Hotel was the scene of a brilllant gathering yester- day, when the Daughters of the American Revolution of the District of Columbia entertained the delegates to the congress and the ofiicers of the national society, in compliment to Mrs. G.

Offsetting this, however, Mrs. Hanger has strong support from the sbuth and the open indorsement of Mrs. Minor and most of the other incumbent national officers. Nominations Tomorrosw. Nomination of officers will begin tomorrow night. The congress will be called upon to nominate candi- dates for president general, seven vice presidents general, chaplain general, recording secretary general, corresponding secretary general, or- Eanizing secretary general, registrar Beneral, " treasurer general, historian general, reporter general to the Smithsonlan " Institution, librarian general, curator general and three honorary vice presidents general. Balloting will begin immediately lg!!r the congress convenes ‘Thurs- day. So close is the race, however, that it is belleved several ballots will be required to elect a president general and the entire national ticket with her. The rules of the congress require the successful can- didate to have at least one ballot more than half of the total delegates attending. While no responsible person was willing today to hazard @ Buoss as to who might be the con- vention's, choice, it was generally conceded that today the race was largely between Mrs. Hanger and Mrs. Cook, with each trylng to win gver votes from the forces of Mrs. Story. Urge Radical Fight. Secretary of State Hughes, Sir Auckland ® Geddes, the ambassador from Great Britain, and M. Jusserand, the ambassador from France, address. ¢d the congress last night. Secretary Hughes, like President Harding and Mrs. Minor earlier in the day, dwelt upon the need of America's patriotic socleties combatting the spirit of radicalism. ~ The Secretary of State paid tribute to the patriotic work of the D. A. R. in the past, but empha- sized the nced for even more strenu- ous Americanization work in the fu- ture. “You alm to inspire that love of jcountry, that burning zeal of true pa- triots which is our unifying force and nal security,” Secretary Hughes said. “We need now the applied patriotism of peace. In this effort we have spe- cial difficulties to surmount. Our ra- clal inheritances give us the strength of many lands, but we are troubled by a defective assimilation and a vivid sense, on the part of many among our people, of blood relation to other peoples’ which instead of promoting good will, affict our life with divisions and traditional animosities whica are foreign to our soil. We have also in- escapable differences in the economic Interests of different vocations und activities. “When the unifying power of a supreme issue disappears the harmony of the patriotic music of common endeavor is lost in the strife and discordant noises of controversy over the interests of particular | groups. Function of Socie “It is the function of patriot ganizations amid these ine ngs to look for the common ground on which all citizens, despite fferences of race, creed, party and ent, the recep- | economic interests, can unite to pro- mote the general ‘welfare. We begin by recognizing that loyalty to the is not loyality to a particular race. It is Jovalty to our institutions. They are institutions of an ordered liberty, of a system of government, designed to secure requisite national impair- ment of local autonomy, to give op- portunity to the majority to rule, while safeguarding the essentials of personal freedom. “They are institutions providing for orderly changes, but not making them sy, 50 that the expression of the people’s will may be deliberate. They are institutions grounded in re- pect for law. There is no room here for those who plot revolutions. We FINANCES OF D. A. R.
