to the public, for not only has the or i Ganization given 150 men to the coun- l try's Scrvice--two of whom are now remembered on the honor roll and flag ] by gold stars only-but also it has turned over a large mount of its funds to the government for use in pushing the war to it's successful con- clusion.
 Contributes to Liberty Loans.
 The society having been in a heal thy financial condition at the outbreak of the war lost no time in placing share Of the funds where it could do most good. Long before other organi- zations. as organizations, had made contributions through the first Lib erty loan, a purchase of 5 1000 was voted by the board of directors, and this example was followed by the So- ciety at their meetings in each of the four succeeding loans nOated by the government The holdings of the society in bonds now totals $5,000. record surpassed by few organizations of similar makeup. As individuals, the record of the T35 men who make up the society is beyond reproach, both in the line of finances given the govern ment during the war and in the line of service.
 Realizing the need of giving assist ance in every way possible to the men who had gone to fight for the coun- try this organization was one of the first to adopt the plan of allowing all service men to remain on it's books while in the service without paying dues. and unlike many of the societies | that later adopted this plan, the Y. M. ] T. A. B. society continued to regard 1 the members entitled to benefits for 1 sickness and death. Accordingly 1 large amount of money was paid sol 1 diers and sailors, and in the case or 1 the two deceased members, the amount ordered by the bylaws of the 1 society was given to their bene- l ficiarics.
 Volunteer In Army.
 ] Men from the Tabs were among the 1 first to volunteer for army and navy 1 service and many of them went over l seas in the early part of the war with ] the local companies of the I'D. All l acquitted themselves either in the | actual fray overseas or in the canton [ ncnts on this side-in a noble manner | and the majority are now out Of the | service.
 ! Captain George H. Dalton was the l ranking officer of the society ana the ] only member to enter the service with 1 a commission. He was elevated from
 the rank of first lieutenant to that of l captain while on overseas duty. l Members of the organization who won l commissions while in the service are: Iieuts Thomas Feeney, Frederick l Green George Leghorn, James P. Kin l iry, Thomas McCue, John O'Brien, l William J. k erin.
