"George Washington" Selected.

A committee was appointed to con-
slider the names, and this committee
finally brought in report containing
three names: George Washington,
Stuart Walcott and William B. Hud-
son. A rising vote was held, which
resulted in the selection of the name
of Washington as that for the first
local post.
Asking that henceforth titles be
dropped at post meetings. and that
only "comrade" or Mfr" be used, Col.
Jones informally gave a report of the
st. Louis convention. He declared
that the law adopted requiring the
change in name Of the local post was
fundamentally right, and that, while
the political aspect might not be a
menace here now, it might some dax
in the future. If the name of a living
man were retained. Col. Jones de-
clared that he hoped the day, will soon
come when the District will have the
vote.
