A Trib ute to the Memory of One Who

The causes that have led to the fuc-
tuations in gains by muster and loss by
suspension in our mem bers!lip has been
the cause for very serious thought on the
part OF all who have a deep interest IN the
welfare OF the Order.
AT the outset the administration he
came convinced that whatever the causes,
there was but one remedy that was APP
plicable, and that was to get in close
touch with Division officers, past officers
and influential members; to bespeak their
cooperation To arouse interest in their
own and neiehborine localities, and to
secure their individual efforts to increase
the standing. For this purpose q large
number OF letters were sent out, and the
quarterly reports following the same
would indicate that satisfactory responses
had been made.
Commencing with the first quarterly
returns, September, 1897, it was found
that reports for the previous quarter had
been incorrect in many cases, made so by
changes that were necessary TO render q
proper accounting Of mem bership TO both
National and Division II sa iNuarters.
The reports up TO and including that OF the
quarter ending March 81, 1893 resulted in

SONS OF VETERANS VOLUNTEERS

True to the teachings OF the Order the
Sons of Veterans have played no neon
sp euous part in responding to the call Tor
volunteers in the war with Spain. At tins
time il is impossible to give the exact
numbers that represent OR organization,
but il can be safely estimated that there
will be found a larger percentage OF Sons
of Veterans in the serN ice than OF any
other organized body or society. 1t would
be unfair TO attempt to compare the Divis-
ions in this respect, but it is hoped that at
an early date data will have been secured
from each Camp showing the number OF
enlistments am, ng the members.
