WISCONSIN,
The Department Commander extends thanks
to those of his personal staff and others for
their hearty cooperation in making Wiscon-
sims part success at the National Encamp-
mcnt While the numbers in line were not
what had been hoped, owing largely to the
financial distress existing and the failure TO
secure the usual railroad rates. yet in point of
enthusiasm Wisconsin was not behind. The
Department Commander desires to call the at
tentiOn of all comrades to the most serious
problem that now confrOuts the Order, which,
if not remedied forbodes disaster: the sus-
pended list. The appointment by each Post of
a Committee on Delinquents cannot be too
strongly urged. This committee should obtain
from the Quartermaster list of those in ar
rearS. They should call upon the comrades
named, inquire into their circumstances, col
lect dues where possible, and make such recon-
mendation to the Post in each case that it may
act ntellgenly and remit the dues whore
necessary, and thus keep many good man in
the Order. 1t is well to recruit new members,
but it is better TO hold the old ones. According
to Section 4, Article 4, Chapter 3, Rules and
Regulations, no member can he dropped unless
he has been previously suspended and dropped
members can be reinstated by paying one years
dues. Consequently it is bad policy to let the
dues of members run Oh for years, as is too
often done. No comrade should, however, be
suspended or dropped without being duly no.

Whereas j. +. Reynolds Corps 81, has heard
with deep regret and pain that woman of Cali
iornia has cast dishonor upon the flag of America
by causing IL to lee used for the stairs In
the California Building at the Worlds Fair on the
occasion of the reception of the West Point Cadets
aud
Whereas the action of this person was farther
aggravated by her insisiance upon replacing The
flag where il must necessarily be tramped upon
Notwithstanding that the Cadets had loyalty re-
fused to tread upon IL, and although Il patriotic
California woman had removed 1t: Therefore, be it
Resotred. That J. +. Reynolds Corps, 81 de-
nounce the action of this woman whose name is
as yet unknown to us, as disioyal, reasonable and
disgrHceful;
ResOtUed, That it is with shame that we learn
that lie perpetrator of such deed is Californian;
Resoteed, That we, loyal women, repudate
this person as unworthy OF womanhood, unworthy
