LIEUT. YEOMAN GUEST OF HONOR

VAN RENSSELAER CLUB ENTERTAIN RETURNED WARRIOR. Twenty-six members of the Van Rensselaer club enjoyed dinner and a delightful two hours in company with Lieut. DeVere Yeoman at the Makeever Hotel Monday evening. The dinner was very informal and not at all elaborate, the hotel management having but an hour’s notice for preparation. The word was not passed on to all members of the club as time did not permit, but the above number were reached and cheerfully responded, to the opportunity for a short visit with the distinguished member just returned from active service “Over There.” . Lieut. Yeoman gave a vivid description of his trip to the war zone and many of his movements over there. We are not permitted to publish much that he said, but, all present felt sure that he had seen some mighty dangerous service and that he had been alert to find out and learn everything that would help him in his work as a soldier and an engiHe spent some time with Major Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and he considers the Mlajor a most worthy son of our distinguished ex-president. Lieut Yeoman gave a very interesting talk to the members of the Masonic lodge later in the evening and has been constantly interviewed since his arrival here. He leaves this, Tuesday, evening for Washington, D. C. He will take the message there that he left here and that is perfect faith in the ability of the entente allies to win the war.
