Godmother to Famous Gun.
Olympia, Wash.—Mrs. Ernest Lister, wife of the governor of Washington, has accepted an invitation from the battlefields of France to act as godmother in the christening of the first gun in a French battery that has served with distinction at Verdun, on the Somme and in Flanders, and is still serving in the present drive. In her honor, Mrs. Lister’s name will be inscribed on the gun.
