The Auxiliary, in its present make
up, is composed Of mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters of the members
OF the American Legion, and Of the
women Of the same status who lost
men in the World war. There is no
Junior society to the Auxiliary or to
the Legion, such as there is to other
patriotic societies--for instance, the
Sons of the Revolution-hut when
generation has passed undoubtedly
such a society will come into existence.
1t is to prepare the way for an hered-
tary society, composed Of the daugh-
ters ard granddaughters of World war
veterans, that Mrs. Burt is working.
Her plan will include Incorporation
into the Auxiliary records Of the war
records Of the Legion men, so that
future genealogists viii have no
trouble in locating the war records of
their granddadS.

Afterward it seemed to Wilton like

We are severely criticised because
we do not open our money bags
and pour their contents into the
bankrupt treasures of Europe
We are importuned and wheadled
to cancel the billions of war debts
cue us from our late allies
We are charged with deserting
them because we are not willing
TO cmMoil ourselves in the tangled
affairs OF the nations across the
seas.
We are denounced as war profit
tCers because we sold to the late
victors in the war the munitions
and supplies with which they pros
acutod that war ana they were
sold upon the inslstent plea Of those
nations,
We are told that II is our duty

And now comes the Greek ma
ion Hith demand that we let
down our immigration bars and
open our doors to a million and 4
half OF Greek refugees from Con-
stantinople and Asia Minor,

II is because of the presence OF
