seicheprey Day was appropriate. ly observed by approximately 200 veterans of the Yankee Hivision al the 18th anniversapy diniier of the local I'D association at Lakeside Tavern Saturday. Veterans of the old l02nd vividly recalled the Bat tie of Seicheprey in which the American troops, including the Waterbury boys, first engaged the enemy in hand to hand fighting. Lieutenant- Colonel James s. Hurley, New York newspaperman, l, and former officer in the 102d was toastmaster. He called for a min ute's silence out of respect to Pete Shea, honorary member whose death occurred several months ago. While those in attend ance remained silent, taps were blown.
 Among the other speakers were ex-Mayor William H. Sandland, wartime mayor of Waterbury and father of a member of the outfit whose death occurred shortly after the i'd of the war, Colonel Will liam J. Shanahan, commander of one of the Waterbury companies in the war; Major J. William Car roll and Thomas P. Kelly, executive secretary to Mayor Frank Hayes, who brought greetings from the mayor.
 Coloned Harry B. Bissell was especially interesting in his com parison of the France as he saw 1t a few years ago, to the France the soldiers knew in, the days of the war. He visited towns and villages in which the 102d either passed throubgh or were billeted in dur ing the war days, and told of the remarkable changes here now.
 Mrs. Julia Conklin, Gold Star Mother and president of Wadhams Women's Relief Corps was intro duced during the program and was warmly received. After the speech- es, space was cleared for dancing.
 Colonel Hurley read poem, "Tribute," by Lieutenant K. M. H. Dazey, which was printed in Stars and Stripes during the war. The name of the 102d infantry was de- leted then because of censorship regulations. A copy of the poem was presented to Colonel Hurley by,John Winteridge, editor of The American Legion Monthly. It is said by critics to be one of the fin- est of war poems.

.CONCRESSMEN IN RACE TO RETURN
 FEEL REACTION
Home Folks in Several Sections Not Upheld at
 Veterans Action
BY H. o. THOMPSON Copyright, 1884, By United Press)

NSoRHeHIs AUoN, US CAheSu ASSoj
 Washington, Apr 23. UP)- DwindHng power for the Veterans lobby was regarded to-day as likely outcome of the definite popular reaction now being felt by congress as a result of the over- riding of President Roosevelt's veto of increased veterans benefits.
 Already the lobby was believed weakened by the adverse reaction felt by congressman as a result of their action.
 Some predictions were being made that the veterans legislative organizations would find them selves with rapidly waning infiu- ence such as the anti-sa1oon league experienced before repeal of pro- hibition.
 It has been nearly month since the senate enacted the increased veterans benefits into law over the Presidents veto. During that time senators and congressman have heard from their constituents. The preponderance of opinion has been in support of MT Roosevelt and in condemnation of congress action.
 Congressmen who voted with the veterans hoping to profit politically in their home districts are finding that they may lose more votes than they gained. Many veterans who had been expected to approve con- gress' stampede from the adminis- tration have written to their rep resentatives in criticism of the break with the President.
 One senator pointed out that support of the Presidents actin by the country as a whole. became even more far-reaching when 1t was realized that many of the let ters applauding votes against the President were inspired by same organizations which campaigned so zeaiously in favor of veterans legis- lation.
 This activity by the veterans lobby was looked upon as an acknowledgement that it had over- reached itself in pressing so vigor- ously for legislation distasteful to the administration.
 Congressmcn who face opposi- ton in the primaries are uneasy over the situation. They not only have failed to gain the voting strength they had anticipated, but they had encountered definite hints that support from the central democratic organization might be absent.

FAMED LECTURER
 COMING TO CITY
Leslie P. Jacobs to Ad= dress Second C0ngrega-
 tiOnal Forum Sunday

"Pity the Poor Teacher" an elaboration of the part parents should play in education, will be the subject of an address at the Second church Forum next Sunday night by Leslie P. Jacobs, vice president of the School and Col lege Counsellors of New York City.
 MT Jacobs is business man and will present his arguments from the business mans point of view. He was associated with S. S. Board, one of the best-known men in vo- cational counselling and executive placement work in the United States and head of Yale Graduate Placement Bureau. MT Jacobs for some time blamed the teachers for the tremendous failure of Amer ican schools. His present point of view lays the blame on our edu- cational system. In our present sys- tenn the parent takes no responsi- bility for the child's education; children of all mental grades of development are herded into the same class room, the schools are all undermanned. MT Jacobs be- lieves that teachers have not the support they should receive and could have if parents were made aware of the results of co-opera- tiop.
 The Forum Committee believes and hopes that every parent of a child in school will hear this con- structive address next Sunday night and cordially invites all Par ent-Teachers' Associations and all those interested in the welfare of their children to hear this out standing speaker on a timely sub ject. MT Jacobs was for number of years special lecturer at Groton, St Marks and many other schools on the general subject of "Prepar- ations for Work and Leisure" The doors of the church will be open at o'clock and the forum session will begin at 7:30 o'clock.

PROBLEMS OF NEGRO
 RACE DISCUSSED

"The Brother in Black' was the title of Q lecture delivered last night at the Second church forum by Rev pr James Edward Mason of Livingstone college. He de- clared that the Negro is progress. ing and added that the race has many of the qualities of the white people that made the Anglo Saxon race the dominant one. The solution of the Negro problem, he added, in this country Is to let the race develop side by side with the white race. He told of a pictorial map of the United States which showed in the south a Negro asleep on a bale of cotton, But the Negro Is waking up now, he declared and he quoted figures showing the advancement made since emancipation. Every 24 hours there are 2,50O Negro ba- bies born, he told his listeners.
 George Jones, baritone of the Livingstone college Alumni of New York interpreted several Negro spirituals.
