for Mrs. Frances Dallant, once
nurse in the Social Security Board,
and forbade Nicholas Dallant, alias
Nicholas Dozenberg, reputedly a
former Russian secret agent. to visit
the 4-year -old daughter of the mar
riage.
United States Commissioner Need

capacity as lawyer represented
Mrs. Dallant. said that this was the
second instance in his long practice
where a father has been denied the
right to visit his own child by court
order.
Mrs. Dallant was granted the an
nulment by Justice ODonoghue
because of the fraud that her hus-
oand allegedly practiced on her. She
told the court that he represented
himself to be in the motion picture
business and withheld from her the
fact that he had been wed to a
Russian secret agent, who died in
January, 1886. The Dallants were
married in Yokohama, Japan. Au-
gust 81, 1886 She said that she

OAR. Congress
Will Be Held
In Chicago
Meeting in April
Will Be First
Outside ofCopitoI

For the first time in its history
the annual Continental Congress Of
the Daughters of the American Rev.
olution will not be held in Washing
ton this spring. Mrs. William H.
Pouch, president general Of the So
ciety, announced last night that the
meeting will be moved to Chicago
because of wartime congestion here
The decision to shift the 51st
Continental Congress came after a
telegraphic poll of members of the
National Board of Management
brought approval of an Executive
Committee recommendation that
the conclave be held in Chicago
This action has been taken be-
cause of our earnest desire to CO.
operate with our Government to the
very utmost" Mrs. Pouch said in a
statement.
One Big Objective.
TT is extremely difficult to trans
fer this great convention of thou
sands of patriotic women from our
national headquarters in Washing
ton to some other location" she
continued. mo sacrifice. however,
is too great at this time of national
emergency The 10000 members
of the D. A. r. have but one big
objective. and that is to do every
thing within their power to aid in
winning the war. We know but one
thof ic sufo
Mrs. Pouch said the shift will
mean a change in plans for the So
ciety's $500 chapters and more than
1000 delegates and alternates to the
Congress She added that delegates
would rearrange their plans imme-
diately and said she expected an
attendance as large as had been an
ticipated for the meeting here.
The meeting will be held during
the week from April II to 19 and
the Hotel Stevens will be the con-
gress' headquarters. The program,
which Mrs. Pouch described as 'one
of the most important" in the So
ciety's history, will be carried out
as originally planned so far as pos
sible, the president-general said
Mrs. Pouch Back From West.
Mrs. Pouch, who had been at
tending State conferences of the
D. A. r. in Pacific Coast States and
in the West, returned here last
Thursday to confer with members
Of the Executive Committee on plans
for the congress
A few days earlier it had been
revealed that Washington hotels
had been forced by wartime de-
mands on their facilities to turn
down hundreds of requests for room
reservations made by D. A. r. men,
bers. Less than 500 rooms we're
being reserved for delegates, whereas
in former years the hotels had been
able to accommodate thousands OF
visiting D. A. r. members. Efforts
to find rooms for out town dele
gates in the homes of local D. A. r
women also had met with little sue
cess because many of the available
rooms had been rented to Govern
ment war workers.
Mrs. Pouch said the program OF
the forthcoming congress will deal
with the society's cooperation in
the war-its program for national
defense, civilian defense, sale OF
Defense bonds and stamps, and
many other activities.
