Il has just been learned that South
Dakota has lodge in France and II
is comforting degrees and otherwise
making itself useful. The grand mas
ter of Illinois has just transmitted a
request TO South Dakota asking that
the degrees be conferred on soldier
who has already been elected tn an
Illinois lodge. The answer was that
the work would be cheerfnily done.
The chances are that the Dakota lodge
now located in France will have Its
hands full when II becomes generally
