Modern Woodmen Biennial Meeting Attracts Large Attendance
The Modern Woodmen of America biennial meeting in Praigre Ia May 61 is set to be among the largest, with debates on headquarters relocation from Fulton Illinois to Rock Island. Reports show rising membership and camps since 1890, a hefty insurance in force, and a treasury balance despite calls for a reserve that failed. The law committee proposes expanding territory to many states and adding Illinois fully except Cook county. In Washington, James B Angell faces Turkish objections to his U S envoy role due to missionary ties, while efforts seek to ease Sultan Mustafa’s opposition and preserve Angell’s diplomatic prospects.
