Rapid and continued increase in the roster of the American Women's Le gion of the Great War has led those in charge of its present membership drive to postpone the close thereof from today until Tuesday, Armistice day. Women have been applying for membership during this campaign at the rate of about 150 a day, and this rate has shown no signs of slacken ing. The determined attempt to be made toward affiliation with the American Legion at the latter's national con vention in Minneapolis this week makes it essential that as large a membership list as possible be com piled, and inasmuch as all a?rvice star women who join before Tuesday night will have the status of charter members, every eligible woman in the District is urged to avail herself of the opportunity for an early and fa vorable enrollment. Hears Thousand Mark. The total of local wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of men who served with Uncle Sam's armed forces who have taken out member ship is rapidly nearing the 1,000 mark, state legion officers report. The membership booths established in various parts of the city will, how ever. not be opened again this week. Applications for membership, with the dollar annual dues, should be sent to legion headquarters, 916 G street northwest. Statement by Mrs. Howe. Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, chairman of the executive committee of the legion, before leaving for the Minne apolis convention of the American Legion, gave out the following state ment outlining the results accom plished during the campaign of the past two weeks: "We began our campaign, said Mrs. Howe, "with a local membership of | 260. We will close it with a member- | ship of at least 1,000. 1 "At the beginning of the campaign we had chapters in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Indiana. A new chapter has since been formed in Hyattsville. Md.. and an organisation of service star women in Berkeley, Calif., of 1.000 members has asked for affiliation with us. i Indorsed by Officials. "During the campaign, indorsement of our efforts has come from Gen. Pershing, Secretary Daniels, Gen. Leonard Wood, Admiral Sims, and other high officials. Messages of en couragement have come from organ izations and people in all parts of the country. "With 1,000 service-star women be hind us here in Washington, and other groups in widely scattered sections of the country, we feel that we can press forward to definite results. Our first step has been to select repre sentatives to attend the convention of the American Legion. Mrs. R. H. Dunlap and myself have been chosen to ask official affiliation and recogni tion by the men's legion. Our next step will be to call a meeting of all j organizations similar to ours with, a ; *iew to getting together in one na- | tional body of war women. CROSS FOE LIEUT. CREECH.

Character of Security May Keep U. S. Out of Transaction. Efforts to extend a loan to China to tide over what is 'regarded as a desperate situation threatening the existence of the government have i come to a standstill, owing to dis agreement over the security offered. The Chicago bankers' group which was negotiating on a loan of $30,000. 000 to the northern government of China, it was learned, demanded that the loan be a lien on the salt tax in addition to other sources of revenue. Objection immediately was made by the Japanese financial interests com posing the group of bankers which would be included in the international consortium on the ground that this consortium had first call on the salt tax by previous arrangement with China. Since the consortium cannot get together on account of the security dispute and of the firm refusal of America to consent to the exclusion of certain districts of Manchuria and' Mongolia from the scope of the con- 1 Lsortium, because that would, in the I opinion of officials, amount to a rec ognition of Japanese domination of I those territories, the chances for the 1 Chinese loan are considered remote. The earliest coinage that can be I called American was ordered by the Virginia company, and was minted in ! tile Bermudas in 1GI2. But then, and for long afterward, the standard cur rency of Virginia was tobacco. Quality ?Photo Goods are shown here in u tremendous assortment, at popular ) prices. MA I FFSF OPTICAL CO. ? A.
