The Mems Club of the Church of the
incarnation, Brooklyn, passed this reso-
luton:
Resolved That the members of the
Mems Club of the Church of the Incar-
nation, Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, desire
TO record their protest against the ap-

member of the Mayors committee to
welcome returning soldiers.

only to the men who have risked their
all Tor their country, but to all loyal

"Whereas, 1t is the desire of all true
americans IN our city to give our SOL

hearty, American, hence patriotic, well
come TO our city; and
'Whereas, Many men Of assured pa
uiotism and import have declined to
serve on the Mayors committee while
William Randolph Hearst remains
member OF same; and,
Whereas, There is in the minds Of
many OF our citizens doubt as to Mir
Hearst's patriotism; and
Whereas, We feel no one whose pa
trlotlsm has caused even the shadow
OF doubt in the minds of the public
should be on any receiving committee;
be it therefore
