Chairman Hildrup Pleased
Concerning Miss Burke the follow
ing statement was made by Chair
man Hildrup:
I'VE are extremely fortunate in
securing Miss Burke to address the
meeting to be held on May IA. Miss
Burke is considered the most elo-
uuent woman speaker of the day.
She has been untiring in her efforts
20 raise funds for charities since
the war began in August, 1914.
She is a young Scotch woman
exceptionally gifted. The results
attained by her efforts have been so
remarkable that she has been lec-
GRATED by the English, French and
Belgian governments.
She has the nickname in Eng
land of 'Pound-a-Minute'B Burke, this
being due to the fact that she is said
to have raised more than $5 for
every minute she has spoken in De.
half of charities.
"The New York City public is so
anxious to hear her that she will
only appear at meetings where the
attendance can be limited by tickets
of admission"
