Frenchmen, as a rule, are loquacious and unrestrained, but Marshal Joffre is neither. Brevity and composure are among his most marked characteristics.
Saturday night last was held in our club rooms, which to our mind was" the most valuable meeting to Post C, from many points, that has been held for a long time.
While the attendance was not as large as It had been at many former meetings, or as hoped for, the interest
and enthusiasm of all members pres
ent in all matters presented for their
action was commendable. Chief of which presented by President Bartel for our consideration was the problem of Increasing our membership from a long list of ellgibles submitted. Each member present showed an alert willingness to co-operate in an earnest endeavor to increase the membership of our organization, and it is believed that the result will be the winding up of this fiscal year and going before our state convention at Indianapolis, May 2 and 3, with a record that we may well be proud. John P. Highley, and T. H. Hill, chairmen of nominating committees, submitted tickets Saturday evening last, which were approved, to be voted on at Post C's annual election, Saturday night, March 22, 1919. They are as follows: White Ticket President, Orla F. McKee; vice-president, Ross Bowman: secretary-treasurer, M. L. Hasty; directors (3 to elect), W. J. Blackmore, James Goldrick and O. D. Bullerdick; chairmen of committees Employment, Orlo H. Gable; hotel, G. A. Mendenhall; membership, Leroy E. Browne; railroad, A. Gordon; good roads, Wallace Teegarden; press, C. W. Merrill; legislative, Gath Freeman; sick and relief, John B. Hagger, entertainment, W. E. Morris: reception, John Zwissler. Blue Ticket President, BenJ. Hill; vice-president, D. L. Mather, Jr.; secretary-treasurer, M. L. Hasty; directors (3 to elect), Wm. H. Bartel, Jr., Wm. F. Bockhoff and Thomas TarkleBon; chairmen of committees Employment, James Lewis; hotel, G. A. Mendenhall; membership, LeRoy E. Brown; railroad, A. Gorden; good roads, G. A. Dwiggins; press, C. W. Merrill; legislative, Gath Freeman; sick and relief, John B. Hegger; entertainment, W. E. Morris; reception, Elmer E. Lebo. In addition to the above, Post C is entitled to three delegates to the national convention at New Orleans .the week of June 9, 1919, and seventeen delegates to the state convention at Indianapolis, May 2 and 3, 1919. These delegates must be chosen at our annual election and any member of Post C may announce his candidacy. One of the three delegates to our national convention is our Sec.-Treas., who goes by virtue of his office and the other two must be selected by vote. Those of our members who desire to enter the contest for delegate to the national convention must place their names on list provided for this purpose, and attached to bulletin board In club rooms, not later than Saturday night, March 15, thereby giving ample time to print the tickets before the election the evening of March 22.
The next Indiana Division T. P. A. convention will be held in the City of Indianapolis, Friday and Saturday, May 2 and 3, 1919, in the convention hall of the Claypool Hotfll. The state board of directors have just reached this decision and are making the announcement. It was thought for a time, that on account of the unsettled condition of the world's affairs, it was very doubtful if any convention would be held, but instead a meeting of the state board of directors who would handle all matters that might be brought before them. However, conditions are now gradually getting back to normal and the usual state convention program will be carried out. It is to be hoped that Post C members will make an earnest endeavor to have their post fully represented at this year's meeting, which, as announced, will be held under the direction of the officers of the Indian from beginning to end. Sorrow has entered the homes of Brothers Frank M. Taylor, and Wm. Kramer, and the sympathy of Post C members goes out to them In their bereavement. Mrs. Nancy Jane Taylor, aged 84 years, widow of Samuel Taylor, and mother of Frank M. Taylor of the First National Bank, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Annie Moore, 229 North Nineteenth street Monday afternoon last. Mrs. Taylor had been a resident of Wayne county all her life. Conrad Kramer, 78 years old, died last Sunday morning at the family home at New Hope, O., following a lingering illness. Mr. Kramer was a native of Germany and the only brother of Wm. Kramer, with whom he came to this country in the year 1850, coming over on a sailing vessel from Hamburg to New York City, encountering man ystorms on the way that took the ship largely out of its course, and being on the water 48 days. He and his brother William organized the C. & W. Kramer Lumber Company of this city, and of which he was a member at his death. Mr. Bullerdick, chairman of our entertainment committee upon close questioning Informs us that from the minute our honor guests step inside the door at 24 North Ninth street the evening of March 8, next, until they leave, not a dull moment will confront them. He will not divulge exactly along what lines this Is to be carried out, but knowing that he has a free scope, and his ability In this direction, we would urge you not to miss it. He also advises us that he has at last convinced Mr. Morris as to his duties of the evening along the "Feed" line, and boys, knowing as we do "Bill's" penchant for keeping the "Home Fires Burning," and what he does when once aroused, do not let any ordinary happening stand in the way of your escorting wife or sweetheart to this evening enjoyment. We have been slyly informed that President Bartel and the board of directors are seriously considering the advisability of debarring from our club rooms, for a period, and possibly orimpeaching their membership, if three or four of our standby bachelor
and widower members do not each escort some lady to our rooms the night of March 8. We am also told that this contemplated action on the part of our president and board has reached the ears of these boys and they have been worked up to a high state of unrest. Never mind men, cool down, and let us suggest that you apply to Mr. Leroy Browne, chairman of our sick and relief committee, who, we feel sure, can supply the needed charms to lift you out of your dilemma and place you again in good grace with our president and directors. "FILLER."

Dear Joe Well. Joe, I have just seen a movie which makes them other pictures look like osteopath views, or whatever they call them things you look at with a magnifyin' glass. This here is some picture, Joe, I'll tell the world, and the name of it Is Mickey. Me and Jeanne went to Bee it on account of not being able to get seats fpr the Fifth Avenue Library, and maybe we ain't glad, Joe. I'll say we are, only Jeanne, she's afraid that feller will come and collect, and maybe she's right, Joe, because in this here biyg you never could get nothin for nothin' except we saw this for nothin'. Well Joe, they is more action in this thing than they was at the battle of the Marne, and they ain't a ldull minute from the time Mickey makes her first grin at the audience till she starts on her honeymoon and the like, with her handsome and good lookin' young hero. Mabel Normandy is Mickey, and she is Borne dame, believe me! Joe, she can swim, ride, scrap, dance, and oh boy, how she can love! Joe, the first time you get a furlow go and see this here picture because Mickey is the greatest thing that was ever throwed on a screen, and the rest of them is just plain movies. Yours truly, ED. HARMON. (The kaiser's nemesis). LYRIC "To Hell with the Kaiser," the great seven-act Screen Classics, Inc., patriotic production, is showing here at the Lyric treatre. "To Hell with the Kaiser" is the most vital of all the pictures dealing with the world war. It strips bare the vile soul of Wilhelm of Hohenzollern, and shows the plot by which he and his "Potsdam gang" hoped to get possession not only of Europe but of America. "To Hell with the Kaiser" shows the final destination of this mad monarch, as well as relating his cruel deeds on earth. A great cast has been chosen to ; interpret this magnificent picture, which has been directed by George Irving from the scenario by June Mathis, and photogrophed by flecrge K. Hollister, a war-photographer and former war correspondent. George J Irving also directed the Metro feature patriotic screen drama, "Her Boy." Lawrence Grant plays the Kaiser, and Olive Tell, a beautiful star of both stage and screen, plays the leading feminine part of Alice Monroe. Betty Howe does a wonderful bit of work as her sister, Ruth, who meets a tragic fate in a Belgian convent at the hands
of the Crown Prince. Frank Currier plays Prof. Monroe, and John Sunderland, himself an aviator, plays Winslow Dodge, who Is seen in spectacular aeroplane flights which have a strong bearing on the story-
