pired term of w. G. Weldon. Early

ed from the Council. In selecting Mr..

Gil made wise choice. He has been
q resident Of the city for long per-
iod and is consequently much inter
ested in its welfare. His business ex-
perience and his interest in public pro-
jects are also factors in the efficient
service he will give the city. Both
the City and the Council are to be
congratulated upon Mr.. Brammer's ac-
ceptance of the Office.

Calls Organization
Meeting for Military
Order of World War

For the purpose Of organizing an
Augusta chapter of the Military Or
der of the World War, Adjutant Cen
eral James w. Hanson at the request
of Major General Mark L. Hersey,
commander in chief Of the orgaaiza-
ton has called a meeting of all Of
ficers of the World War residing in
this city and vicinity to be held 1t
the office of the adjutant general at
7.30 next Monday evening, Feb. 15.
The Military Order of the World
War has the same relation to World
War officers as the societies of Gin
cinnatus and Loyal Legion do to the
officers of the Revolutionary and Cl-
vii wars, and only those who were
officers in the army, navy or marine
corps during the world war or Were
commissioned prior to the signing
of the treaty of peace with Germany
are eligible. The society is pledged
to adequate national defense and
the opposition of the further reduc-
ton of the army and navy OF the
United States and to the fostering
and upbuilding of our national de-
Tense in all of it's braches.
General Hanson said yesterday
that as far as he knows this will be
the only chapter of the order now in
tice of the organization meeting,
General Hanson points out that this
meeting will be purely informal and
officers attending are in no way
pledging themselves to membership.
