ton has expressed itself as favoring the pub

war, acknowledges receipt of communica-
ton from the District of Columbia chapter

names should be published as they appear,
in order that those placed thereon through
error may be removed and those correctly
listed be given the punishment that they
have so long escaped.

take a chance on this list, and will guarantee
to those of it's members, whose names may
appear thereon, ample proof of their service.
