Captain Lumpkin commanded
Company D of the One Hundred and
Seventeenth Machine Gun Battalion
and Lieutenant Glenn was with the
Third Division, which saw much
heavy fighting. Both of these young
men are well known throughout the
State. Before entering the service
CAPTAIN Lumpkin was secretary to
Congressman Lever and was also a
member of the house Of representa-
tives from Richland County when
he volunteered.
Lieutenant Glenn has held respon-
sible newspaper positions in several
cities in this State and at the time
of the United States entering the
war was editor of the Anderson
Daily Mail. His newspaper training
and instinct caused him to observe

He was in the first great "show"
at Chateu Thierry and witnessed
some of the things which will, live in
history as long as time lasts. He
was gassed severely in July and was
used on detached service when he
became convalescent. This duty
took him to many parts of France,
and he has observed very closely the
habits of thrift and the spirit of pa
triotism of the French people. Mr.
Glenn has been in this country for
some time and the Victory Liberty
Loan Management has had lines out
for him. Charles H. Barron, State
Chairman said yesterday that he
felt that he is very fortunate to get
Mr., Glenn and Mr.. Lumpkin to as

A well-attended meeting of the
James Hubert Blenk Memorial Cir
Gle of st. Margaret's Daughters was
held in the Knights of Columbus

7:30 p. m. After the election of Off
GERS a very interesting and instruc-
tive talk on Army Chaplains," by
Rev. Father McGrath, was enjoyed by
all present.
This circle, although one of the
youngest, has a large membership,
and through the generosity of our
people and its Jealous workers has
accomplished much good despite its
short existence.
The work closest to the hearts of
the members is the establishment on
the Gulf Coast of the James Hubert
Blenk Memorial Home, where tired.
overworked women and children will
find haven where they may spend a
few weeks of rest and recuperation
during the summer months.
The following officers were elected
and it is their hope that with an in
creased membership and renewed &C.
tivity on the part. of every member
their dream of Memorial Home will
be realized in the near future: Miss
Susie Murphy, president; Mrs. V. Oil
vier, first vice president; Miss A

In order TO do this very careful work
Mrs. Healy appointed a committee on

All workers who know they have
reached the 500 hour mark as requir-

planned that the knitting, hospital

ment had yet been disbanded. but
will be very active in the future.
In view of the fact of the loyal and
efficient cooperation, the captain Of

that knowing they are still needed vii!
be incentive enough to keep these
noble bands of women together in the
work they have so readily upheld in
the past. Mrs. Buck in her talk TO the
surgical Dressings class, observed that
any member from the department
which has been demobOlized. will be
welcomed in these departments where
