 The reclamation of pr. Anita Newcomb McGee as Historian General of the Ma tional Society is a severe loss, as she is one of the most accurate. faithful and ef- flcient officers. It was not known at the time what was the cause of her action, but it seems that patriotic work in an- other line is more to her liking than that of compiling the lineage books. As we learn she will, shortly sail for Japan with a corps of trained nurses Mrs. McGee's report on the seventeenth volume of the lineage book shows that some work of one or more of the former Registrar Gen. erals must be done over. She reports that about ten members, whose lineages ought to appear in this volume will probably have their numbers left blank as 1t has been impossible to find proof of their claims. She says each member. or would be member, has been written twice and if she did not reply her Chapter Regent was asked to aid in the matter. This Is trying situation for those women who were admitted to the Society D. A. R. and who have for five or six years be- lieved they were members. now to find they are not and they must go to work to find other and more authentic proof of their claim. Where is the fault? Have former Registrars General and Historians General been as careful and accurate as they should have been or has Mrs. Mo- Gee been too careful. too exacting? We think not the latter.
 Mrs. McGee reports the seventeenth volume of the lineage book ready for the printer and about one-fourth of the eigh- teenth volume finished. It will not be possible to have theae volumes ready for distribution among the Chapters at the coming Congress and the work Is not be- ing done as rapidly as formerly, but, if it is done better we can appreciate and eia- dure the delay.
 Mrs. Senator J. F. Deliver was elected Historian General, but 1t was understood by the Board that Dr. McGee will com- plete the seventeenth volume of the lin- cage book.
