City to Raise Fund
To Purchase Gift
For Marshal Jofre
Branch of Oak Leaves Wrought
in Gold To Be Sent Hero
Of the Marine

Arrangements were completed yes
terday by a committee of prominent
men and women of this city, headed by
Mayor Mitchell, to raise a fund for the
purpose of sending to Marshal Joffre
a fitting tribute on the anniversary Of
the battle of the Marine. The sugges-
ton that such tribute be sent TO the
French hero was made at the reception
to him in the Public Library last
month.
The gift is to be a branch Of oak
leaves wrought in gold and will be
symbolical of the rugged character OF
the imam who stopped them at the
Marine" On band entwined about
the leaves will be the inscription "Au
Hero de la Marine"
Soon after Joffre left this country a
committee, with CASTOR Liebert, the
French Consul General, at its head,
began to plan for some symbol that
would fttingly express the esteem OF
the men and women of this city for
the famous general. Inasmuch as the
reception to Marshal Joffre was a
great popular demonstration. it was
also the opinion of the committee that
the general public should have the OPP
portunity of contributing to the fund.
Paul elliot, of elliot E. Co., 546 Fifth
Avenue, himself soldier who fought
at Verdun, suggested the branch of oak
leaves as a gift for his countryman.
Among the letters received by the
committee which commend the sugges-
ton is one from Sarah Bernhard.
at is beautiful symbol" writes the
famous actress. "A thousand times
bravo and thanks"
Mr.. elliot has made a wax model,
which is now on exhibition at the shop
of NJ. Knoedler G. Co., $50 Fifth Ave-
rue. The gift will be reproduced in
22-carat gold and will cost several
thousand dollars.

Tells Convention Every
Mans Energy Is Needed
in This Emergency
Philadelphian Named
Guy Gunaker Nominated for
President When New
Yorker Withdraws
by Telegraph 70 The Tribunel

Atlanta, June POT o-day's conven-
ton of international Rotary was
marked by the nomination of officers
and by addresses by General Leonard
Wood and by Pomeroy Burton, journal
list, of London.
General Wood told his hearers at the
afternoon session Of Americas prepare
tons for war and stressed the diff
culties confronting the nation as the
result Of failure to be prepared for
this great emergency. He asked the
aid Of Rotary in stirring America to
the seriousness of the struggle con-
fronting the nation.
This seriousness was still further
impressed by Mr.. Burton, who asserted
that the war would last from five to
twenty years, or longer, unless the
United States acted quickly and de-
cisively.
Guy Gundaker, of Philadelphia, and
the Rev. (. Leslie Pidgeon, of Winni-
peg, were nominated for president, the
New Workers and other delegations de-
ferring to the wishes of Frank Water
man and not putting up his name. The
following men will be voted on for
vice president: Arthur Farmer, of
Tulsa; Samuel Bottsford, of Buffalo;
Albert Terrell, of Grand Rapids; Rob-
inson Mcdowell, of Louisville; Charles
Macintosh, Of Duluth; John Knutson,
Of Sioux City, and H. J. Drummer, Of
San Francisco.
Among officers elected to-day were:
F. d. Van Ambrough, of New York
City, governor Of Rotary of District
No. 2, including New York and New
Jersey, and Rufus F. Chaplin, Of New
York, international treasurer.
When Frank Waterman first came TO
town he predicted that the Broadway
delegates would show Rotarians how
entertainments should be staged before
the convention was over, and last night
and to-day the delegations lived up to
expectations. Probably the liveliest
party of the session was given Tues
day night by New Workers, who have a
whole floor at the Ansley, on the eve
of the nominations for the presidency,
and to-day they were kept just as busy
at the business sessions.
