late Theodore N Vail.
 More of the organizations finan- cial condition is indicated in a tele- gram from Herbert s. Houston to Edward A. Filene, sent on February 21. 1919, when MT. Filene was at tending the meeting of the Mountain Congress for the League of Nations
 at Salt Lake City. Utah. The tele-
 gram which refers to the money
 raisers as the troupe" follows; Confidential Letter to Taft
 "Schiff. Cleveland Dodge, Morrow and I giving luncheon Tuesday at Banners club and hope to raise con- siderable funds Chase of Boston sending S17,4OO. Hill reports fifty lars in definite pledges in Chicago. 1 Hope you are getting abundant i funds in west. Best regards to all members of the troupe" A confidential letter from Mir.
 Short to President Taft on July 8. 1 1919. says that Senator Hitchcock | Democratic leader in the fight for the league of nations, was present , at a conference with Samuel Comp <ers. president Of the American Fed
 eration of Labor. when plans were < made to have labor unions Lombard | senators with plans for ratification of the treaty and league covenant. ] The letter says in part:
 l Conference With Gompers "You will be interested tC know 1 the results of conference in Wash i ington last week with Mir Gompers with reference to bringing to bear the full power of organized labor on 1 the senate Senator Hitchcock was | present, and fully concurred in what
 was agreed upon"
 Explaining how letters would be sent by MT. Gompers to fifty thou sand local unions suggesting they
 write to senators urging ratification of the treaty, MT. Shorts letter adds: "These (the letters) are going out 1 immediately and the work will cost about S2500 which I undertake to pay from funds of the league I have been urging Oliver Wilson. ! master of the National Grange, to 1 take similar action with the local granges. A telegram from MT. Boyd this morning tells me that he has agreed and wants the work to go out from this office. I assume that he expects us to pay the bill for that also.
 Wanted Service indorsed
 ''You will be pleased to know that our income for the month was sub stantially identical with the outgo so that we are holding our own and have a bank balance at the end or the month of S37,0S9.01.'
 In a letter to Mir Taft under date of December 10, 1919, MT Short asks the former president to indorse the work of the foreign press service which he describes as an organlZa- tion of former associates of George Greet in the bureau of public lnfof- -mation during the war 'as addition al guaranty of it's purpose and char acter." The letter says: "II can say I. gan and company, after thorough going inquiry, is advising MT. Tho mas Lamont to lend his name and ifluece to it.'
 The letter states that the foreign press service spent si7,5Sl.Ii from February to December, 1919, tue men being provided for the most part by charitably disposed people who are interested in seeing the worK go on. It is purposed now to raise a fund of $15O,O00 to finance the ser vice during the second year of it's work.
