TN Washington, from November IA
to November %, one of the out
standing conventions of the year
will be held in the ballroom of
the Hotel Willard-tne sixty
second annual meeting of the National
Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry,
more Familiarity known as the Grange.
1t will be one of the big events of the
wear in the National Capital, because
the delegates from all sections of the
country represent the only farm fra
ternity on earth.
This convention, the first to be held
here since 1916, will be veritable
home coming for members of the order.
The Grange had its birth in Washing
ton nearly 81 years ago. Plans for the
organization were perfected and the
degrees were first exemplifled in the
District of Columbia. Six of the seven
founders were employed in various de-
nartments of the Government. Five OF
fhen died here, and four of these were
buried in local cemeteries Hence the
slogan OF the 1928 convention, Ion to
washington, the Birthplace OF the
Crange!"
This remarkably successful farm fra
ternity which points backward to a
CONTINUOUS existence of almost 62 years,
estimates its membership at more than
g1O 600 farm folk, and its subordinate
branches in 33 States at more than
q O00. These extend across the CONT
mont. from the Atlantic on the East To
ehe Pacific on the West, and from the
Tlrminion of Canada on the North 10
the CarolinaS on the South.

ION the morning of June 4 the ex-
hausted French were relieved by the
American I'd Division on the Cham
pillon- Monneaux front On their right
was the French 10th Colonial Division,
among which were scattered units OF
the American Sd Division.
This condition led the Germans to
believe that htey were facing the Ameri-
can Sd Division. 1t was by especial de-
sign that the French, who had no con-
f1dence yet in American leadership,
avoided having the I'd and Sd Divisions
united here under their own command
ing general, as would have been natural
1t was not until September that Amer
leans were allowed sector Of their own.
"On the morning of June the GeE-
mans ascertained from prisoners that
they were facing the 5th and 9th Ma
rines. An American attack was reported
from the direction of Belleau. 1t was
natural that troops making their first
attack would not have the skill of sea-
soned warriors. and it was therefore
plausible that the Germans should take
this ineXperience into account.
Front and flank, the Americans were
caught by machine-gun fire and re-
tired to Hill 1859. However, the German
defenders suffered from American artil-
lery fire coming from the I'd Field Artil-
lerv Brigade.
Save for single French attack,
June 5 was rather quiet. Sporadic
charges were made by Americans;
prisoners confirmed rumors that Amer
lean losses were severe. Gen. Won Conta

strict Be Host National Grange in Homecoming Event

The recent death Of Charles M. Free
man, who served as secretary for %
years, left this post vacant.
CONCURRENTLY with the annual
~ meeting of the National Grange.
the second student grange conference
will be held November Is to November
Is. with official headquarters at the
State College, Pa, chairman of the
conference, will preside. Eleven active
chapters are enrolled, with a total
membership of more than 1000 college
and university students, most of whom
are fitting themselves for agricultural
vocationS.
National Master Taber will deliver
the principal address and other speak
ers will include Mrs Dora H. Stock
man, lecturer of the Michigan State
Grange; Stanley Stabler, master of the
Maryland College Grange, and P. G.

culture for Pennsylvania.
The annual banquet will be served

on the evening of November Is.
officials of the order expect the sixty
second annual meeting OF the grange
to be one of the most profitable ever
held. The story Of the trials and tribu-
lations of the founders will be re-
counted, and the entire membership will
rededicate itself to the original prin-
ciples and purposes of the organization.
An intensive movement to include every
State in the Union in the GRACE pro-
gram will be initiated. Work in this
direction already has begun.
After remaining dormant since 1897.
the Virginia State Grange was reor-
ganized September 20 at Richmond in
the presence of more than $50 enthusi-
astic Patrons. Other prospective State
organizations include the Carolinas
Mississippi and Texas.
Oliver Hudson Kelley was the man
of destiny, so far as the grange is con-
cerned, for the idea of fraternity OF
farmers first was conceived in his mind.
In 1866, Mr.. Kelley, then a clerk in
the Bureau of Agriculture, was sent by
Commissioner Newton to tour the South
and report on the agricultural and eco
nomic conditions in that section. He
was impressed by the pitiful plight of
the farming industry and the diSorgan-
ization and Generalization of the farzn-
ers, which suggested plan whereby
they might become organized and thus
work together for their mutual welfare.
Kelley later became more ambitious
and decided to include all the farmers
in the United States in his fraternity
Upon his return to Washington he sue
ceeded in interesting six other men In
his scheme. who. together with Kelley,
later became the founders of the
grange. They we're william Saunders,
John r. Thompson. William M. Ire

cal methods employed. was aware of
no concerted action between the Ameri-
can I'd Division and the 167th French.
With information that the woods were
not occupied by Germans we gave it no
artillery preparation, thinking to take
it by surprise or to find it unoccupied.
German machine-gun nests were thick
there, and our advance in successive
waves did entail considerable losses"
Much precious American blood was
lost, nevertheless" continues Col. Otto.
An attack of the Sd Battalion, 5th
Marines, and 9Th Marines was expected
by the Germans. Yankees came down
q slope in thick lines of SkirmisherS,
supported in the rear by heavy columns.
The TeutonS could not ask for more
perfect targets. The spectacle, Col.
Otto writes, was entirely new to the
Germans Under similar circumstances
they would have advanced in thin lines
of skirmisherS or in small separate units
CT shock troops. moving forward in
stealthy rows and taking advantage OF
any protection the terrain might offer.
The French understood and used that
method However considering this as
their first real engagement, the Ameri-
cars strategy was not so unusual.
Troops under fire for the first time
often act that way Indeed< continues

more mysterious to the German high
command which labored under the be-
lief that the TeutonS were merely step
ping on the heels of a beaten foe.
The answer was told by the Marines.
Even the efficient German intelligence
system had no way of telling that on
June the LIST Battalion of the 5th
Marines, the 9Th Machine Gun Battalion
and I'd Battalion of the 5th Marines
had come up out of the Marine mist
and gripped the battered French po-
SitionS.
TT began to be whispered about Ger
man headquarters that some new
strategy was in the air.
The German commander, Gen. Won
Conta, issued the following bull:
1.-THE right wing of the 7th Army
will continue the attack and will fight
for suitable defensive position"
He did not name the hour of at
tack. All he limited at was that 1t
would take place before June Z.
THAT" writes Col. Otto, was the
situation on the night Of June 3. The
Americans. fresh and in full strength
had absorbed remnants of the crushed
French regiments.
But facing the Americans were the
Germans, their morale heightened by
the habit of victory, although their
ranks thinned by the strenuous cam
paign
Gen. Won Conta spent several days
in preparing his army for the assault

was now convinced that he had be-
fore him strong and enterprising foe.
He ordered that the attack scheduled
for June 3 be deferred, but that his
corps hold themselves in readiness for
a violent assault
"Thus, with German battalions on
the defensive, the French 167th Divi-
sion and the American I'd Division
launched a combined thrust
According to the German conception
of military tactics, the allies should
have rushed simultaneously in thin
front. But Gen. Degoutte commander
of the French 2lst Corps, to which the
American I'd Division was attached,
held a different idea. He had the
attack made in echelon, developing
gradually from left to right, SO that
different regiments succeeded each
other in battle like the ribs of an
opening fan. The right wing did no.:
advance until evening.
This ingenious method had the
great disadvantage of enabling the Ger
mans to concentrate artillery fire on
each enemy unit as it emerged from
cover.
eff Americans, Notwithstanding their
extraordinary bravery, did not meet
with greater material success on June
6, the fault lies mainly in this arrange
ment of the French commander"

The Grange is strong financially to-
day, with nearly 100000 in the ma
tional treasury. every State Grange
solvent, and their combined resources
nearly doubling those of the national
body. Grange property exceeds a value
of $20.000.000, including 5000 halls
owned by that number of subordinate
groups.
Functioning in each of the 5000
rural communities, the Grange is a
veritable neighborhood center of influ-
ence from which radiates civic force
that is easily one of the most stabiliz-
ing factors in American life.
Although official delegates to the an
nual convention include only the ma
tional officers and the State Grange
masters and their wives, several thou
sand members are expected to visit
Washington during the meeting, par
ticularly on Friday, November 16.
when the seventh degree will be con-
ferred upon a class of 5000 or 1000

founders of the national body for the
purpose of eXemplifying the degrees tf
the order. It ceased activities for sew
eral years, but later was reorganlzed as
a regular working unit of the organiZa-
ton. More than 200 members now are
enrolled, including workers in the De-
