EXPLAINS THE OBJECT
Of SERVICE SOCIETIES
Priscilla Alden Nicolson Makes
Clear Duties of Three in Commu-
nication to The Star.
Navy League of the U. S., the Army
and Navy League and the Navy
Relief Society Differ.

To the Editor of The Star:
There seems to be some confusion of
ideas in regard to three important
service societies. all bearing on in
terests relative to the United States
Navy One is the Navy League of
the United States, another the Army
and Navy League and again another
the Navy Relief Society. The first men
toned. Navy League, is patriotic or
ganization devoted to developing the
interests of the people in all matters
pertaining to the advancement of the
United States Navy. \ convention is
to be held in this city, convening No
vember Is, and men and women from
all parts of. the United States will
gather to discuss questions relative
to the material increase in men and
armaments of the United States Navy
These meetings should be attended by
all loyal citizens and ideas should be
advanced toward the increase of our
sea defenses.
The Army and Navy League is quite
different society. 1t is supported gener-
ously by service people, both men and
women. Clubs are formed having for
their object the moral and religious well
fare of the enlisted men OF the Army
Navy and Marine Corps. 1t supplies to
chaplains OF both services hymn and serv-
ice books and organs, also magic Ian
terms, monographs and reading matter.
Clubhouse Maintained Here.
In this city at 81 c street is a club
house maintained by this society, where
the enlisted men of the services are well
come and where a simple meal and a bed
room can be had at small price, and
pleasant evening may be passed. In
other words, the idea is to uplift men in
our service, keep them out of the streets,
saloons and gambling rooms. Boxes of
books, games, etc, are sent to far-away
army Sarr!sons, ships are supplied and
in every army and navy depot, this So
ciety works among the men and the good
is 4ar-reachins and improving.
On the other hand, the Navy Relief So
ciety relieves distressed families of navy
men financially In the event of death
in the service OF either officer or en-
listed man, the next Of kin are visited and
such relief is given as the Immediate ne
cessity requires. Mothers, widows and
orphans are aided financially and other
wise provided for, and in many instances
children are being educated and prepared
to become self-supporting. Again, at all
navy yards auxiliarIes are maintained and
measures are taken Immediately to relieve
all distress.
Evening star., 1915-11-11
Aims of Three Differ.

The aims of these three organizations
are quite different, each meeting Il
need and the three filling requirements
for the betterment of the naval service.
The societies are supported by mem
bership fees and by entertainments,
balls, card parties, teas, sales and
various social functions. 1t is earnest
ly hoped that when notices are re-
ceived calling meeting for any one
full house will assemble TO assist
and cooperate in the good work that
must be supported and must be main
tanned by the generosity of not only
those identified with the navy, but the
community at large.

The Budget Idea.

Ex President TAFT rarely neg
lects an opportunity to argue in
favor of budget system for the
United States. Close students
OF affairs agree that the Taft
ADMINISTRATION was marked by
sincere attempts to svstema ize
the business affairs of Uncle Sam.
BY "the budget system" it is
meant that the Executive shall
prepare and submit to Congress
estimates of expenditures and
proposed revenue, and that Con
gress shall appropriate certain
limited sums for the different
branches of work. The system.
which Mr. Taft and other states
men advocate, is practiced by all
large corporations OF the country
and the theory is that budget
system" would do away with
the absolutely "hit or miss" plan
under which the public business
is transacted.
