County Meet Friday to Form
Organization.

There is being effected an organ
ization is to be known as Veterans
Of Foreign Wars of the United
States. the membership to be COM
posed Of soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who have seen service over
seas.
AS with the G. A R., there will
be a national organization, which
will exercise Jurisdiction over city
and county organizations of the
same name.
II is estimated that there are
about 100000 who by right of
their having served Uncle Sam in
a military capacity in foreign lands
will be eligible for membership in
the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Men
OF Washington who are back of the
movement have sent out the fol-
lowing poetic verse in explanation
sas to who is the veteran of foreign
wars:
THE soldier, sailor or marine,
who in line of war on land or sea,
in foreign cline. have fought for
flag, home and liberty"
The principal purpose Of the or
ganization will be to provide and
give attention to the soldier and
the soldiers family who, because
of his having been wounded in line
of duty, are in need.
AS with the G. A. r, each mem
Der when comes the final summons
will be given a military burial. The
icT1
ton extends certain help to a man
incapacitated in line of duty, but
in many cases this is not adequate.
Veterans of Foreign Wars will in
uuire into such cases and extend
what help may be needed. In the
eyes Of congress. it presents con-
siderable strength and legislation
