DINNER PLANNED
FOR ALLIED ARMIES
Permanent Organization to
Be Effected-Early Res
ervati0ns Requested

Permanent organization of the "Alied
Armies" is to be perfected at the dinner
to be held Tuesday night at the Tutwiler
in order to perpetuate the work of the
splendid organization in patriotic cam
paigns during the war period
In the permanent organization it is to
be provided that the allied armies will
participate in a limited number of drives
each year, and only those of great civic
Importance. This provision is made IN
order that the men composing the organi-
cation will not be called away from their
business TOO frequently, as during the war
many OF them were almost continuously
in some drive or campaign.
The dinner tomorrow night will be
strictly an allied army affair, and the
reservati tons are limited to 900. A dandy
programme has been prepared, everything
in light vein, and prominent members
of the armies, who saw service during
the war period will be the speakers.
AS there were aboutS16,0O members OF
the allied armies and the reservations for
the dinner are limited to 800, it is re-
quested that early reservations be made
at once. They may be secured through
Clarence Lloyd at the Rotary club rooms
ut the Tutwiler
