ing conducted here. Organized nearly one year ago, the commission carefully planned details in such a thorough manner that the convention, officials report, is progessing with less confusion in arrangement than any previous state meeting. The work has
demanded months of careful planning and work on the part of the members, who have been aided by scores of committees which have functioned in carrying .out the multiplicity of detajl required in staging a meeting of the site of the one now iit progress

Many of the kings, dictators and

who served through most or all of
the World war, not as war lords
or field marshals but as prlvaiLa,

Many were decorated Tor brav
