Former Secretary Of War Jacob M.
Dickinson, who was the temporary
chairman of the meeting, took a fling
at the Senators who have been criti-

"you have said some generous tbines
about the American army. 1t is the
truth"
"Good!' exclaimed the Tiger and
then heard General Dawes Speak Of
him az "one of those great figures
whose memory will span the centuries
