Surrend It's CHI rfa1.

The Lillian Capron Auxiliary of the Rich
ard j. Hardin Command. Spanish~War Vet
Grams, has surrendered it's charter to the
national president of the auxliaries and has
joined forces with the Lineal Society of the
Spanish-American War, of which Mrs. Allyn
K. Capron is the president. Membership in
this organization, which has but recently
sprung into life, is limited to blood relation
ship with a soldier Of the American army
and its organization Is said to be the result
Of a split in the local auxiliary bodies.
1t Is proposed to give the new society a
national character, and its letters of incor-
poration have been altered so as to conform
to this purpose. Mrs. Capron disclaims all
intention Of organizing a society which will
be the rival of the older organization, but
her plan, she says, is to make the new body
entirely independent, and quite a number
of members of the auxilfaries may be in
cluded in the membership of the new Or
ganiZation.

BILE to license, and he does not believe the
payment was an erroneous one. He states
