VETERANS PLAN A
BIG ORGANIZATION
SPOKANE INVITES MEN WHO
SERVED IN WORLD WAR TO
ATTEND MEETING

SPOKANE-Sev thousand vet
erans, representatives of organiza-
tions in the state of Washington of
soldiers and sailors who served in
the great war, will be called to Spo-
kane in August to organize Wash
ington military veterans association
if plan proposed by the local So
ciety, Sons of Democracy, Great War
Veterans, is carried out.
Commander Jack Abrams, Judge
Advocate Harold N. Nuzum, Field
Secretary p H. Mutlersbaugh, of the
local organization, are behind the plan
and are making plans to see to its
consummation.
The proposal is that as many vet
erans of the present war as can, at
tend the convention, and that the rs
g. A. R. posts, "a United Spanish
War Veterans camps and four camps
of Veterans of Foreign Wars unite
with the Great War Veterans asso-
citation.
"If our plans carry, this should be
the largest meeting of veterans ever
held in the city," said Commander
Abrams. "We expect that out of this
meeting will grow the Sons of De-
mocracy association which will spread
throughout the United States, and
will have behind it as its fundamental
aim the suppression of sedition and
anti-American propaganda. We Will
work for Americanism and America" I"

METHOD|STs PLAN
GREAT WORLD WORK
CONVENTION AT SPOKANE A REC
ORD BREAKER FOR ATTEND
ANCE AND INTEREST

- Sixteen Moscow Methodists attended
the big conference of that church held
at Spokane this week as a part of the
great program for raising $105,000, 900
for reconstruction work in devastated
sections of Europe and Asia Those
who attended pronounce the conven-
tion one of the best they had ever
attended and the interest was great.
That the vast sum will be raised does
not admit doubt in the minds of
those back of the great scheme.
But devastated sections of Europe
are not the only places where recon-
struction work will be done. a great
industrial plant is to be established
at Seattle at a cost of $2,500,000 where
men of all nations and all denomina-
tions will be given employment and
helped mentally, morally and phys
ically. In the coal regions of Penn
syIvania are great areas without any
religious or social centers and these
are to be helped One coke region
in Pennsylvania, with $4,000 inhab-
itants has no church and no social
center. The Methodists plan to spend
s175 900 in that place to provide for
these needs of the human mind Edu-
cational work in China and Japan as
we'll as in Europe, Asia and America
are to be fostered and helped.
Those who attended the convention
from Moscow are: Rev. and Mrs. H.
o. Perry, Mr.. and Mrs. w F. Morgan
edge, Mr.. and Mrs. Corliss McElroy,
Mr.. and Mrs H. B. Mickey, Mr.. and
Mrs. Homer Estes, S. J. Chaney, Dr.
