The Washington herald., 1917-04-18

Mrs. Motifs address was characteriz-
ed by q facetious vein, which was ex-
lceedipgly fitting and apparently had
the desired effect judging from the
applause which her remarks received.
She said that the present are mill
tant days. and therefore she asked
Mrs. Horton to stand at attention, so
that the daughters can see what they
will be voting for tomorrow"
Mrs. Mott referred to Mrs. Horton
as beautiful and representative type
of the dame of the Colonial period.
One need but get glance at Mrs.
Horton to appreciate how appropriate
this remark was. Mrs. Horton is i'm
deed the reincarnation of the digni-
fed type of woman of the Revolution
airy period.
Mrs. Mott declared, 'T regret that I
cannot duplicate Mrs. Horton, so that
could place her in the four corners
of the United States. What a power
for unifying our country she would
then be-"

Mrs. William Light. of Minnesota,
made the nominating speech for Mrs.
Squires. 1t was a ''heart-to-heart talk" :"

basket because addresses were limited to
three minutes.
Mrs. squires was presented as a woman
pre-eminent in patriotic philanthropic
and civic affairs circles in, her State. and
as woman whose blood is as red and
true as the stripes of our flag"

Patriotism Prevails.
Patriotism again reigned supreme at
the sessions of the Daughters of the
American Revolution yesterday. Dom
mated as the congress was by this
spirit, there were, nevertheless, bub-
blings of political activity which made
their way to the surface.
Evidence of the patriotic trend of
the Daughters was the spontaneous
on Memorial Continental Hall. It took
only few minutes to raise this
amount
Mrs. Robert Lansing, wife of the
Secretary of State. urged the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution to
free their temple Of patriotism" from
debt, bringing an avalanche of con-
tributions. An excess of the desired
$4,000 was quickly pledged.
Suggestions for cooperating with
the government ip conducting the war
featured the sessions yesterday, which
otherwise were devoted mainly to the
reading of reports by national officers.
Practically every report expressed
some idea for war service by the
women. Mrs. William Cumming Story,
president general, appointed the fol-
lowing committee to consider the rec
concentrations and compile them into
definite policy. Mrs Willard S. Augs-
bury, Mrs. Robert T. Reineman, Mrs.
tCharles H. Bissell, Mrs, Caroline New.
Holt, Mrs. ]. Morgan Smith, Mrs. Clay
ton North and Mrs. Richard J. Barker.
Revive Magazine Subscription.
The D. A. r. magazine was the sub
