Mrs. LeSuer, the retiring Worthy
Grand Matron, as well as others
whom it has been our pleasure to
know, can, as presiding officers, put
TO shame many boastful men. At
the closing of the session of the
Grand Chapter when the newly
elected officers were installed, many
beautiful bouquets were presented to
the various officers, and while the
flowers in their various colors were
beautiful, there was no comparison
between them and the fair ladies to
whom they were presented.
There was but one sadness to per-
wade the many pleasures of the
week; in our attendance upon the
sessions of the Worshipful Grand
Lodge, we were made sad on ac-
count of the absence of some men
whom we never before failed to see
at its meetings, and especially did
we miss the presence of former
Grand Secretary John B. Garrett
and Past Grand Master Col H H.
Ingersol, both of whom have passed
to the Grand Lodge above since the
last annual communication, but we
feel assured that while those two
brothers, as we'll as many others,
were absent in person they were
with us in spirit and are reaping
the reward in the land of the blest.

CALL FOR SURGICAL
DRESSINGS FOR FRANCE
From Tennessee State Section Il
People of Counties.

People of Counties.
Ii The following was addressed 10 q
very dear good lady OF this city. and
il should enlist at once the sympa-
thy and support of our people. Nc
nation of people on earth have been
so true 10 our people as those OF
LaBelle France. First ally in Ameri-
can independence and first aid in
Southern Confederacy, France de-
serves our everlasting gratitude, and
we should come to the relief of her
suffering soldiers whenever there is
call for help. Read the letter:
My dear Mrs. Stuttgart: There is
call for ten million surgical dress
ings to be sent to hospitals in
France
VIII you not accept the chairman
ship of your town and organize your
friends and acquaintance into a
circle or circles to contribute ma
terials and make the same into these
dressings? Samples and full direc-
lions for the procedure of work will
be sent you from the Nashville
headquarters upon your acceptance
of this office.
The need of the wounded soldier
in France is dire. They cry to us
in America for help. Can we ignore
this plea? Splendid men are being
moved down daily; they are brought
in mangled and bleeding unto death.
Many die for want of bandages with
which to dress their wounds. So
great is their need, that bandages
are taken from the convalescent SOL
der and from the dead, and used for
the freshly wounded, without time
to wash or sterilZe them.
Never has the world faced a stu
alton like this. LaBelle France,
fighting and bleeding for her homes
and counting it glory to die for
ttem-France, first and only ally
of American l Independence! Bel
GUM, "Europe's little eve lamb"
which has been sacrificed! England,
from whose parent-stem we spring
all call to us for help.
Tapped in ease and security, shall
we be unmindful of this "Pentecost
of Calamity" Shall we, whose own
soil has also been drenched with the
blood of patriots and sodden with
the tears of women, be deaf to the
cry of humanity? We who are
pioneers in the cause of democracy,
shall we not help to bind the wounds
of those now carrying it's bloody
banner? A whole continent Ian
guisheth; is not your heart touched
to the depth with the spectacle of
its grief?
Give therefore quickly, give gen
erously, give prayerfully, asking
God to overrule thes calamities to
the good of a stricken people.
