UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The 150th anniversary October ID of
the death of Count Casimir Pulaski was
appropriately commemorated at sundry
places in this country. Count Pulaski,
Pole, was born In 1749. With his dis
tinguished father, he participated in
the Confederation of Bar (1768-1772),
formed in patriotic protest against GER
tain outrageous developments in the
Polish kingdom enforced by Russian
of its purposes, and, indeed, preluded
the first partition of Poland, but as
commander-in-ch chief of its forces the
younger Pulaski. achieved a considerable
reputation for gallantry.
An exile in Paris, he met BENJAMIN
Franklin, who gave him a letter of
recommendation to Washington as IAN
officer famous throughout Europe for
his bravery" At the Battle of Brandy
wine he so well justified the recon-
mendation that Washington asked Con-
gress to appoint him to the command
of the Continental Cavalry, with the
rank Of brigadier general; which was
done. Pulaski supplied the adequate
organization previously lacking to our
mounted forces; sufficient title to
fame. Moreover, he contributed liberal
ly to the work from his personal funds.
He fought with distinction at German
town, and later in the Southern theater
of war, especially in the successful de-
tense of Charleston, May, 1779; but he
was mortally wounded on October 9
that year In the unsuccessful attack on
Savannah. Placed on the brig Wasp
he died on that vessel two days later.
The service rendered by Poland through
her distinguished son toward the crea-
ton of our republic has been repaid by
our important participation in the re-
constitution of the Polish state.

Edison Pioneers. the only organization
in the world which Is, so to speak, an
alumni group of men who have learned

is their alma mater.
Brought together by affection and ad-
miration for the old man." as he has
always been called by his associates, a
group of the men who worked with him
in the old days came together in 1918
and formed themselves into an orgar1i-
cation to honor his name in his lifetime
and keep green his memory for future
generations. Full members of this Or
ganization are those who worked with
Mr. Edison in or before 1885, and asso-
ciate members, limited in number to 1875,
those who were with him in the years
between 1885 and 1900. Descendant
members are selected from among the
sons and daughters of these two groups.
Thus membership Is passed down some
