OF the 9TH inst, having as his escore
of honor Past Exalted Rulers w. C.
Crandall and Carl +. Hebron and
20 picked members of San Diego

1t has been the chief desire of the
committee to secure the presence of
Brother Bowson, as his presence was
considered as the biggest event that
could occur commemorative or organ-
Iizing the Baby Lodge, as it will mean
the presence of the oldest and youn-
Igest members Of the order together at
one meeting. Some idea can be
gained of the size of the national
body when it is considered that Broth
er Bowson is older in point of mem
bershlp than more than 5000. 900 of
the Antlered Herd who have become
members of more than 1900 lodges
situated throughout the United States.
there being a lodge in practically
every city containing more than 5000
white inhabitants in the Union.
The committee feel further hon
lored in having been able to secure at
the same time the presence of Past
Exalted Rulers Crandall and Heilbron.
Past Grand Exalted Ruler RAYMOND
Benjamin of San Francisco is also ex-
pected, but it will not be known def
nitely if he will be present until later.
District Deputy McFadyean has
been untiring in his efforts for the
past month to insure an exceptionally
successful affair and it is anticipated
that the new lodge will be given start
second to none in the history Of the
order.
The committee again desires to
press upon those members of the or
der in the valley who have not already
done so, to send in their names at
once to Secretary O. N Sebastian, in
order that it will be known definitely
how many are to be present at the ban
ouet.

Allies Advancing
On the Four Fronts

New York, Jan. 4.-The tremendous
Importance of the Russian drive from
Bessarabia into Bukowina, Hungary,
is shown by the fact that the Teutons
have massed million and a half men
for the defensive, and yet the Russian
force is so great that the latter is
making steady advance. The most
notable achievement of the Russian
drive has been the capture of the
heights northwest of Czernowitz, maxi
ing that city untenable, and the evacu-
alton of the citizenry is in progress.
Czernowitz is $50 miles south of
Lemberg, one of the points of heavy

an invasion of Greece to strike at the
Allies at Salonika, which order is in
terpreted to anticipate what the war

as they are more hardened to the Sc
