Royal Neighbors Grace Gammon and Sha ver, American Yeoman, Knights of Pythias, and M W A hold meetings on specific Tuesdays and Mondays each month with named officers. Next week is Pay Up week.

Dr Newell Dwight Hillis spoke at the Auditorium to about three thousand listeners, detailing French and Belgian women and children's suffering from German war crimes. He cited ten thousand attested cases in French Belgian and British records, drawing grim portraits that left the audience shaken and emotionally moved.
Dr Hillis faulted the Kaiser for merciless German policy, detailing brutal tactics to terrify foes and break will. He contrasted German “efficiency” with Pershing’s humane guidance, illustrating a stark pan Germanism aim and warning of war-driven conquest across America.
Speakers denounced peace talk and pro Kaiser's gains urging suppression of German newspapers. Dr Hillis lamented German atrocities, quoted hostile propaganda, and urged continued war until Germany is purged. Veterans, crowds, and choirs filled the hall as speeches criticized treachery and urged Liberty Loan support.
