our streets while they were in the

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
Large Congregation Attracted to
Pohick Church Yesterday-Class
of Twenty-Five Confirmed.

According to their annual custom
the regent and vice regents Of The
Mount Vernon Ladies' Association
of the Union attended Pohick Church
yesterday morning. With Miss
Comegys, the regent, there were
present about fourteen. Of the vice
regents, among them being Miss
Townshend, of New York; Mrs
Harrison, of Pennsylvania; Mrs
Pringle, of South Carolina; Mrs.
Rogers, of Maryland; Mrs. Barrett
of Kentucky; Mrs. Leary, of Wash
ington; Mrs. Richards, of Maine;
Mrs. Bradford, of New Jersey; Miss
King, of Louisiana; Miss. Jennings,
of Connecticut; Miss Evarts, Of
Vermont and Miss Phillips. of Mis-
sissippi. They occupied the Wash
ington pew. There Was very large
congregation which fille'l the church
, to its full capacity. Among those
present were number Of visitors
from Alexandria.
Bishop Coadjutor Brown, of the
diocese of Virginia, preached the
sermon and confirmed a class of
twenty-five persons who were pre-
sented by the Rev. E. w. Melli-
champe, the minister of the church.
The Rev. DR.. S. A. Wallis, of the
Seminary, who was a former rec
tor of the church, also assisted in
the service. Confirmation was fol-
lowed by Holy Communion which is
the corporate communion of the
Mount Vernon Association. A large
number of those present participated
in this moslemn service. The whole
service was very impressive, the
completion of the restoration adding
to its interest, making this Sunday
a most historic one in the annals of
old Pohick.
Bishop Brown read the appropriate
prayers of benediction for the res
toration that has been SO happily
accomplished. The completioo of
tbs =. ctoration is due to the ear
nest efforts of Miss Townshend, vice
regent of New York, and the con-
tributors were among the most
prominent residents of the city Of
New York. Appropriate reference
was made to Miss Townshend's in
terest which has effected so much for
this historic ch4,ch. Mr.. Glenn
Brown. .he arch'tect of the restora-
ton, was Drese, st. the service, and
descendants of the old families Of
lower Fairfax, who were at the
church, occupied their ancestral
pews.
The baptism of the infant son of
the Rev. f. w. Mellichampe, i'm
mediately before the service, added
much interest to the occasion. The
choir occupied the gallery, and its
rendering of the musical part of the
service was much appreciated by
the congregation.

CHANCE OF WILSON VETO.
Military Men Think President MAY

Draft Bill.

Washington, d. G., May 14.-lt is
freely predicted in army Cries that
President Wilson will veto the Sc
lective draft abi! containing the vol
unteer Roosevelt) amendment.
Army officers take the ground
that Rooseveit's contingent. if one
were raised, would not fit into the
military establishment proper at
any point. Congress is providing for
a military force based on the prin-
ciple Of universal liability TO ser
vice 1t is unfair, ARMY officers con-
tcad. to permit one man 10 organize
a t:!unteer contingent and 20 deny
thai privilege to another, who might
De Il much abler man from military
standpoint
President Wilson, it is held, IS
not much of a man to compromise:
If he should veto the bill on account
of volunteer provision, Congress
could not possibly pass it over his
veto, which would be based on the
ground that more effective fight
ing force can be organized and
trained under the new system.
I'm the event Of Presidential
veto, it is predicted, Congress will
repass the bill within Is hours af-
ter having eliminated the Harding
