General Pershing Post No. I
Has So Per Cent Enlisted
Men on Charter List.
HOLDS SECOND MEETING

Gen. Pershing Post NO. I held
its second meeting last night in the
auditorium Of the National Museum.
A long line of officers and enlisted
men stood in the aisles during a
great portion Of the evening. waiting
their chance to sign the first roster.
When the charter membership was
ascertained the roster was found to
contain 500 names, 50 per cent OF
which are those of enlisted men. Col
E. Lester Jones. commander of the
post. said he would go to the Walter
Reed Hospital today and would see
that some one was sent to the Naval
Hospital, so that no wounded man
desiring honor of being numbered IN
the list be overlooked. Many of their
names now appear on the roster.
tempt has. been made to swell the
membership. 1t was made plain that
the organization as yet Is purely local
1t has. nor will have, no connection
with any world war veterans" until
such national body is authorized.
Reads Cablegram From Pershing.
Commander Jones presided at the
meeting. which was marked by the
ing, March Z. Two especially i'm
pressive incidents marked the meet
ing. The first was the reading OF
Gen. Pershing's reply to Commander
Jones' cablegram informing the gen
eral that the post had adopted his
name. The reply cablegram came to
Col. Jones through the War Depart
ment.
please convey my thanks to Col.
Jones and his comrades for the honor
done me in ~onferring my name upon
the post"
The second significant event was
when Maj. Totten presented to the
post a large American flag, the gift
Of Mrs Isaac Mann of Washington,
and its acceptance by Col. Jones Ris-
tened to the brief presentation and the
short word of acceptance. A letter OF
appreciation will be sent Mrs. Mann.
Pay Tributes to Women.
Tributes to the work done by the
women In the war, and to the women
who have done 1t, were paid by me:il-
bers present. AS no applications have
been made by women wishing to join
the organization there was no action
taken on the matter Of their eligibil-
ity. This and other questions are
distinctly under the jurisdiction of
the national organization, of which
the post expects to become part
when such q body Is formed.
Commander Jones expressed the
view that the post would be rather
assuming an honor to which it had
no right in supposing that the wom-
en- wished to join; they would un-
doubtedly wish to form their own
auxiliaries, he said, and in his strong
appreciation Of the necessity for do
ing nothing that would appear an as
sumption OF national ambitions he
favored postponing action on this
matter, with the expressed hope that
the splendid women Of the war would
be in sympathy with the posts aims.
A membership committe was ap-
pointed to pass on applications. Mem
bers Of this committee are Lieut. Col.
H. g Graves u. s. A; Lieut. Co.r-
