Society Abandons Traditional
Aloofness in Cause of
Patriotism

The Pennsylvania Society Of the Colonial
Danes of America ndorsed universal mill
tary conscriptiOn today at meeting in
Estey Hall. The Endorsement came after
| a spirited three-hour session in which the
forces of living on the patriotism OF the
past were ranged alongside of the patriot SIN
that means coming TO the aid of America
| now-today.
The Colonial Danes. of whom there are
975 in Pennsylvania. have primarily for
their object the preserving OF Colonial relics
and the inculcating of respect and patriot
ism for the men who fought for America
In Colonial times. TO date as n society,
they have not taken active part In present.
day war crises movements
Today's meeting registered a practical
breaking away from this custom
When the conscriptlon resolution was in
troduced the point was made that il was
not within the office of the Society of Colo
mai Danes to raise Its voice on matters
that had to do with the politics of the ma
tion. The answering cry was that the mat
ter OF war and conscrption is not one of
politics but patriotism. II was held to he
the duty of women who are working to pre-
serve the rich and brave past of America to
work equally hard to mold the American
side OF history In the making today
The matter was brought up that the
Colonial Danes have not been represented
In the various patriotic rallies that have
been held of late. A motion was accord
ingly passed which empowered the presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Chapter. Mrs.
James Starr TO attend officially all such
public meetings and conferences I'm future
A motion urging the enrolling of the
members of the society in the Women's
League for National Service was also c9r-
ried.
The remainder of the 100000 fund which
is to be used for a Martha Washington
window at the Valley Forge Memorial
Chapel was pledged at the meeting today
Only $1,000 was needed to complete the
fund. The window. the largest one TO be
placed in the chapel, has been donated and
is perpetually endowed by the Colonial
Danes.
