THE ARMoRY DISPUTE.
Capt. Louis N. Dondero Explains His
 Sids Of the Matter.

Capt. Louis N Dondero makes the following statement:
 Since my attitude relative to the use of the armory at the initiation of the local Order of EllSs on March 50, 1911, has been persistently misrepresented, and possibly for a purpose continues to be so, l desire to state the 1actS as they actually occurred.
 On the 18th day of March recelved An application for the use of the ar mory from Mayor Dunn, which appli- cation I approved and forWarded on the 14th day of March, 1914, to the adjltant general, c. N. G., in accord ance to military regulations, as will appear by the endorsements thereoh
 On the 24th day of March was mo- tifed by the adjutant general that said application had been granted
 In relation to objection raised to the granting of the application, positively was not present when same was writ ten. and did not encourage its making, and neither directly or indirectly ap- proved of 1t.
 On the night of the limitations I granted to the order the use of the company rooms, not included in the original lease.
 I feel that owe it as duty to company l., First infantry, e. N. G., and myself to make the foregoing statement of facts
 There is always two sides to a story, and things are not always what they seem.

REoENT's REPORT.
Reviews Active and suecsssfuf Year.

HoVteWe ActiVe ana SuccesTW sar
 Following is the D. A. R regents report read Tuesday evening:
 Dear Dadkhters:
 We are just closing an interesting and suefessful year of work. The du- ties of the officers and committees have been faithfully performed and the ut most harmony has prevailed through out the year. Eight regular meetings have been held. The attendance and interest shown at these meetings speaks it's own praise to our enicient programme committee.
 The treasurer,s report shows that "acts speak louder than words" The faithfuiness of our ways and means committee deserves the highest pratee. This committee is one of the most important in connection with our chap ter work wish to thank personally the Chairman and members or this committee, for the consufnmation of all our hopes and plans has been more than realized.
 Our flower committee has also been most faithful in it's duty, as the nu- merous letters we have received during the year from the shut-ins are testi- monials.
 The members of the board of man agement have fulfilled their duty in the most satisfactory manner. ~
 The regent has never been obliged to adjourn for lack of a quorum. In fact, we aveghad more than the neces- sary number at practically every meet ing. I wish to thank the members for their patience and helpfuiness at all times.
 K. I wish to thank personally the hon. orary regent, Mrs. Litchf1eld, for her helpfulness. Had it not been for her words of encouragement during arlx- would have failed in her duty to att tend the state meeting and the national as well. Her gracious manner and wise counsel have been most helpful to me.
 The recording secretary and treas urer have served with the utmost efh- ciency.
 Our contributions toward patriotic and educational work during the year seem small in comparison to our ac- cumulations. As our prosperity is only a means to an end, let us hope that our scholarship fund may receive a large donation the coming year.
 Your regent has the honor to give a report which will probably never be duplicated by another regent of this state. that of securing a pension for our real Daughter Mrs Avery. It Is say this, simply that I have the honor to be regent while we have a real Daughter.
 You were represented at the state meeting by your regent and delegate, at the national by your regent, delegate and wto altrnats. ,t~
 It is with spirit of thankfulness that I am able to report that we have lost no members during the year. deeply regret that a beloved member, Mrs. Burnnam, has been unable to at- tend the meetings. trust that her re- covery may be SO complete that she will beJwith us again. m Anne Wood Elderkin chapter has had the three essentials for "a successful and enjoyment. tt
 Respectfully submitted. '|St T.
