Not a drop fell to mar the exercises although the faint rumbling of dis. tant thunder was heard. During his presentation speech Chairman Ellsworth read the inserip- tion on the tablet as follows;
 400 feet due east of this tablet was the site of the first
 home of
 ISRAEL PUTNAM in the Colony of Connecticut. In t739. he bought 5l4is acres of the
 adjacent land From Governor Beleher at 300 per
 acre In TAO. here he came from Salem Village, Massachusetts, with his wife and first child. Israel
 Putnam, who later went with General Rufus Put
 nam to Ohio. In l742, the famous wolf was run to
 earth. In 1755. Putnam began his military career at the battle of Lake George. In August he was made End Lieutenant. In 1756, he was Ranger" with Cap
 tain Rogers. In 175S, Putnam was with Lord Howe when Howe was killed at Lake George In August he was prisoner in Quebec. In 1759. as Lieutenant Colonel. he was at the capture of Ticonderoga and Montreal In 1762, he was in Cuba and at De-
 troit in 1764. From all these absences, here he came
 back to the joys of home; here his children
 grew up. Here. his devoted wife, the mother of
 all his children, Hannah Pope Putnam, died, in i765. In 1767. after his second marriage, Putnam moved to his new home. the General Wolfe Tavern. near Brooklyn Green. because the number of his visitors was
 toe great
 for private house. But here was the scene of many joy eus reunions of old comrades. after the Indian and Golon- ial wars and before the Revolutionary period.
 To commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth this tablet has been placed by The Colonel Daniel Putnam Associa-

AT THE WOLF DEN

From the Lapsley farm the long line of automobiles proceeded along a we'll marked way to the Wolf Den. As the party passed westward 1t encountered the shower that had been gathering and there was a hard rainfall before the entrance to the Den was reached. The road, little used, had become al most mire in spots, and some of the | heavy cars experienced difficulty in ploughing through the sticky mud. All reached the grounds, however, with out mishap. The rain had ceased but l the wooded, grassgrown grounds were soaked with moisture that made progress on fott bit inconvenient Other approaching showers decided those in charge to have the formal ex- ercises in the Pomfret Congregational church A truck with camp chairs ar rived and preparations had been made for seating all at the Den had the weather been favorable Ladies of Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter, D. A. R., were on hand with generous supply of lemonade which was served under the dripping trees
 As the thunder boomed and re- sounded from the rock k-bound hillside Mrs. F. M. Warner, regent of the To- cal chapter, D. A. R., welcomed the party in few words. The tablet was unveiled by James Bigelow Eisenlohr, Eugene Eisenlohr. Margaret c. Bige- low, Eleanor Ellsworth, and Mary C. Miller, members of Colonel Daniel Putnam Association, and Dorothy Mansfield and Pauline Rawley, repre- senting the Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter.
 Rev George l. Brown spoke a few words of appreciation for the mem bers of Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter, who had charge of installing the tablet. The tablet was set in the large boulder at the right entrance of the Den and was inscribed as follows :: PUTNAM AND THE WOLF. Following her tracks through one day
 and night in the early snow of 1 December, 1742,
 to the Connecticut River and back,
 the early settlers of this region ! here discovered the den of the she wolf
 that had for years devastated their
 hocks
 and had so far eluded all attempts at { capture.
 After all other methods had failed, when both Negro and dog held back,
 ISRAEL PUTNAM, ! TO of whose sheep had just been
 slaughtered, at ten o'clock at night with a rope tied to his feet, first with
 a torch, again with musket. entered this cave and by the light of her angry eyes, shot and killed
 the marauder and entering a third
 time dragged forth the body of
 the last wolf in Connecticut.

ut affords me great pleasure to be
cere approval of the great work of
benevoIence and charity that your
committee has carried out and are
still carrying on in behalf of the
little orphans. indiscriminate of race
or religion, innocent victims of the
great war.
Il also particularly want to ex-
press my thanks to the near east
committee for the valuable assistance
given in helping our Greek children
in Thrace and Asia Minor, and feel
it my duty to earnestly urge my fell
low countrymen to contribute gener-
financial ability toward cooperating
with you in a substantial manner.
Il assure you of my profound ad-
miration and my sincere appreciation
for the untold good which is accom-
plished and is to be accomplished in
the future by the Near East Relief"

COUNCIL Of SOCIAL
AGENCIES TO MEET
Constitution and Bylaws to
Be Taken Up Monday by
Delegates.

. The organizing meeting of the
Washington Council of Social Agencies
will be held at the Raleigh Hotel at 4
o'clock the afternoon of December 81.
Meeting at that hour. delegates from
the principal agencies of Washington
will consider and pass upon the con-
stitution and bylaws for the council
as drafted by the committee on or
ganiZation under the Craftsmanship Of
Mrs. Whitman Cross, and will formal
ly organize for the business of de-
veloping better social conditions in
the District through joint conference
and action.
Statement by Mrs. Cross.
Mrs. Cross. as chairman of the COM
mittee which has handled the pre-
liminary work incident to the 'crea-
ton of the council. having had it
brought to her attention that. despite
the provisions of the constitution to
the contrary, a few of the invited or
CARNATIONS are fearful lest the pur-
pose of the council be to swallow and
absorb the individuality of it's MEM
Der organizations, today issued the
following statement:
IF there be any among those whom
we are counting upon to make the
council live and compelling force
for the advancement of social work
in Washington. who fear that the
individual identy or work of the or
ganization in which they are pri-
marily concerned is to be swallowed
by the council as drafted, may I
not urge upon them a close study
of the constitution of the council, that
they may see how fully this very
thing is provided against
Loyalty of those responsible for d
particular agency to the interests and
n &c nhyyin oil
sential to social progress in any COM
munity. 1t is inevitable that such
loyalty be foremost in the hearts of
social workers and is, l am sure.
right that it should be. But surely.
with that fact admitted, and the in
terests of the individual agency safe
guarded, there are none who feel no
interest or obligation toward social
work as whole. And it is because
the conviction has arisen that, by
joining together in conference and
action. We may derive great indi-
vidual stimulus, as we'll as coordinate
Washington's general social program,
that we are proceeding to the business
in hand.
1t is the earnest hope OF the COM
mittee that it's position on this matter
be clearly understood and that none.
through groundless fear lest loss of
individual identity result from mem
bership in the council. withhold their
support. Loyalty to the individual
agency should but inspire loyalty to
the practical ideals of the council"
Await Formal Action.
1t is understood by the committee
that many of the organizations invited
to membership find themselves in the
position of being unable formally to
join the conference at the Monday
meeting. owing to the fact that for
NAL action by their boards cannot be
had by that time. The committee is
urging special action by the boards
wherever practicable, and where this
cannot be obtained, has urged that
unofficial delegates be sent to the
meeting and that formal Joining, be
effected when action by the boards
shall have been taken.
