At the same time the officers of the
auxiliaries, as we'll as civic and fra
ternal organizations which have collect
ed funds for the camp to forward them
without delay. In some instances, it
was pointed out, the organizations are
withholding the funds so as to reach
set goal. Mr.. Caldwell has declared
that any funds forwarded to the camp
will be duly credited to the purpose of
the contributor.
An invitation was extended yester-
day to the women composing the ex-
ecutlve committee Of the American Lee
gion Auxiliary of the state to inspect
the camp next Saturday and Sunday.
In extending the invitation Mr.. Cald-
we'll said: "The women of New York
State have given invaluable assistance
to the veterans mountain camp, and
we want to afford these Legion women
an opportunity to see the wonderful
location on Paradise Point, Big Tup-
per Lake, which convalescent and tu-
bercular ex-service men will enjoy,
due very largely to their efforts"
The executive committee of the
women's auxiliary is composed Of the
following: Miss That's Magrane, New
York; Mrs. William G. Keens, Albany;
Mrs. P. L. Ryan, Syracuse; Mrs. A. A.
Ransom, Sea Cliff, l.. l.; Mrs. Emma L.
Balloon, Bronx, N. Y; Mrs. William
R. Lamb, Brooklyn; Mrs. Stanley
Matthews, Kingston, Mrs. R. E. Brown,
Granville; Mrs. A. E. Jones, Utica;
Mrs. Charles R. Seymour, Binghamton;
Mrs. A. L. Roe, Rochester; Mrs. U. G.
rison, Monroe.
Mr.. Caldwell said also that after
the inspection the advisory committee,
composed entirely of women, would be
formed, using as nucleus those of
the executive committee who cared to
serve and prominent members of wonl-
EMS organizations throughout the state
which have shown interest III the Vet
erans' Mountain Camp. "The sick vet
eran," he said, "has learned that the
commercial spirit Of the men through
out the country has blinded their eyes
and numbed their ears in many in
stances to the cause OF the sufferers
from the war. The good women, how
ever, while forgetting the war, have
not forgotten the veterans who are suf-
fering because of it.
'Tne men of the Legion will attend
to the business incidental to the veter-
ans camp, but we expect the women
of New York State, with the assistance
OF the Legion women, will continue to
mother the sick soldiers and to care
for them with food, money and sup
plies. 1t is intended, therefore, that
these women shall also have voice
in the management and control of this
organization"
Ammunition forward" is the slogan
of the officials OF the camp in issuing
the appeal for foodstuffs and equip
ment. 1t was decided to withhold the
purchasing of cheese articles until the
expiration of thirty days, thereby Civ
ing the people of the state interested
in the welfare of the veteran an oppor-
tunity TO come forward with gifts. All
articles should be sent direct to the
Veterans Mountain Camp, Upper Lake
Junction, New York, by freight, parcel
post or express prepaid. Money orders

Grams Mountain Camp and addressed
