John T. Ryan, vice commander vr Kit Carson Post and | a member of the local Memorial day finance committee, a substantial amount and accerted an Invitation to make an address during the exer- cises at Arlington. At the same time he said he hoped that the members of the G. A. R. and their friends would understand that recent order prohibiting soliciting subscriptions from government em- ployes in the federal departments was not intended as discrimination against that organization, but was decided upon by the cabinet as a necessary means to put a stop to the greatly in- creased practice on the part of or- ganizatlons of soliciting funds in the departments. Takes Away Gloom. However, the President’s sanction of a plan to solicit only certain offi- cers of the government—those whose salaries are above the maximum pre- scribed by the classified service—and {. his own contribution, and his ready agreement to speak at Arlington, lifted considerable of the gloom that has hung over those directing the coming celebration since the word wr received that cus- tomary departmental soliciting had been placed under the ba With this {ncentive the local com- es and other he purchase of au s At the re- machinery for $1 6, it w on tract was back-dated to October 9.
