Vernon on Thirty-Sixth Annual Program. ‘While their elders are meeting in| Constitution Hall, the Children of the | American Revolution will open their thirty-sixth annual convention Tues- | day morning in the Corcoran Gallery | of Art. Mrs. Samuel Shaw Arentz of | Nevada, the national president, will pre- | side over these young delegates from | every State, whose ages range from 4 | o 21 years. | The "sessions will continue all week, | ending with picturesque ceremonies at Mount Vernon. At the opening ses- sion, national officers of various patri- | otic organizations will extend their greetings to the representatives of thc[ 12,000 members of the Children of the American Revolution. State flags from Nebraska, Pennsyl- vania, Texas, Ohio, and Oklahoma will be presented to national headquarters. Besides the regular sessions, much sight- seeing is planned. The Capitol will be visited, and Willam Tyler Page, the author of the American’s Creed, will be the children’s guide. At the Congres. sional Library the interest will center around the original copies of the Decla- ration of Independence and the Con- stitution, which are there in cases with gold leaf frames. Washington's Tomb will be visited by river boat, so the children may be impressed by the | tolling of bells, which is the custom of | all vesscls going down the Potomac when they pass Mount Vernon. Visit to Alexandria. ‘They will go to Alexandria to see the monument they themselves provided for | the grave of the Unknown Soldier of the Rlevolutlon when it was discovered several years ago. Christ Church, where ml‘suhénm:: worshipped, also will be “While the main purpose of the convention is to report progress of the State socleties and confer on methods of improvement,” sald Mrs. Arentz yes- terday, “it is quite as imj t that the children visit the Nation's historic shrines to acquire knowledge and gain inspiration. Anything touching the life of Washington cannot fail to inter- est them. They have undertaken to furnish a room in the restored house at ‘Wakefield, Va., his birthplace. Several Ppieces of furniture of that period, suit- able for a child’s bed room, have been secured. Every detail at Mount Vernon captures their attention. While the older ones are carefully examining swords and spinets, the smallest ones are usually racing up to the third floor to see the little hole in the door where Martha Washington's cat came in. “Each year they gather around the tree that the society planted 35 years ago, and part of the ceremony is to listen to Mrs. Eleanor Washington How- ard, the last living child born at Mount Vernon, tell the story of Washington's youth. The very inception of the so- ciety is from a statement of Washing- ton as he greeted a group of children during the RevYolution: ‘We may be beaten by the English on the field of battle, that is the chance of war; but rmy that can never be Washington Family Members. On the Governing Board are two members of the Washington family, Mrs. Howard and Mrs. John Kerr. Sev- eral of the smallest children have fre- quently acted as pages in colonial cos- tumes. ‘Tuesday's session will be broadcast from the convention hall, but on Wed- | nesday evening the whole program will be given in the radio studio of the Sons of le American Revolution, when it is | expected that members from all over the country will listen in. This radio| program will be followed by the story, with pictures, of “The Many Homes of the Continental Congress.” National officers are: President, Mrs. Samuel Shaw Arentz; vice president presiding, Mrs. Eleanor Washington Ray; treasurer, Mrs. Thaddeus Jones; registrar, Mrs. W.

CHURCH DEFENSE URGED BY PERSHING General in Magazine Article| Sees Christianity Vital to Government. By the Associated Press. Gen, John J. Pershing believes Chris- tianity is on the defensive, and he has called upon fellow churchmen to join him in withstanding the onslaughts. ‘The views of the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces in France were expressed yesterday in a quarterly magazine published by the Washington Cathedral Association. “The strength of the cbligation of cltizenship is dependent upon the teaching of christianity,” Gen. Pershing sald. “That is the bulwark of our whole governmental structure.” Drawing upon his World War experi- ence, the general told of seeing upon the walls of the Verdun Citadel Mar- shal Petein's famous phrase, “They shall not pass.” “Christianity is on the defensive,” he sald. “I fear that we are unprepared at present to withstand the onslaughts that are being made against us. We must_unite in our efforts to strengthen our lines without delay. The attacks are increasingly dangerous, and we must unite in our efforts, polish up our armor and defend ourselves with all our might. If we stand firm, it is cer- tain “They shall not pass.” “When their attacks are repulsed it will be our turn to assume the offensive and carry the teachings of christianity into the enemy’'s territory.” JURY ACQUITS FOUR Group Held After Gun Battle Freed in Long Beach, Calif.

Included in their numbers are many who are known in the native countries for their work in many other fields other than the welfare of the blind.

Many of the conferees are sighted persons, and in this class is Mrs. Dor- othy Harrison Eustis, now a resident of Switzerland, who is giving her life to the training of dogs to be used as guides by the sightless. She began her work by training the animals for the Swiss Army and now manages a school at Vevey, Swtizerland, as well as owning one in Nashville, Tenn. Self Care Taught.
