Pre-Lenten Concert
The importance of participation
in national defense activities was
stressed by speakers at the Lith-
uanian Day celebration at st. Jo-
seph's hall last night in conjunc-
ton with the annual pre-Lenten
concert of the st. Joseph's church
choirS. The audience of over 700
was urged to invest regularly in de-
Tense bonds and help bring a Sue
cessful end to the war. The exer-
cises were held in commemoration
of the oath anniversary of Lith-
uania's declaration of independence
made February is, 1918.
Tax Assessor John w. Jenusaitis
expressed the keynote of the meet
ing by stating IF Lithuania is to
be independent again we must lis
ten to Uncle Sam" He recalled the
happiness of other Lithuanian Day
celebrations when Lithuania was
free and expressed the hope that
future celebrations would once
again be gay.
Professor Alexander j. Aleksis,
president OF the local Federation Of
Lithuanian Catholic societies which
arranged the exercises, announced
a total of $4,000 worth of defense
bonds bought by Lithuanians had
been registered by the Federation
defense committee. The audience
unanimously approved his sugges-
ton that resolution pledging
Lithuanian support to the war Ell
fort be sent to President Roose-
welt. The resolution would contain
a reminder, Professor Aleksis stat
ed, of a statement made by The
President that Lithuanian indie
pendence has not been destroyed
but merely temporarily suppressed,
and would ask the President to re-
member Lithuania in the peace
conference.
