WILMETTE LIFE October 5. 1928 try and in England and after unlimited effort, managed to secure money and the privilege of erecting a splendid granite gateway with bronze tablet engraved oyer the entrance in place of the other. This was dedicated with beautiful ceremony last June. Secretary Wilber of the United States Navy sent the U. S. cruiser, Detroit acros~ to Plymouth with. an escort of 42 sailors to attend the service and it was an impressive sight when . the American ship came into harbor. The Admiral of the British navy took part in the program and placed a wreath on th e gat~way and the Daughters of 1812 also placed a w~ath there. Mrs. Earle said that all over the kingdom great enthusiasm was expressed by the pres:; and public generally over this bit of patriotism. M·r s. Earle also said that there we re ·flourishing D. A. R. chapters in both London and Par.is and that one in Liverpool an.d one in Rome are expected in the near future. Mrs. Sweeney , the · state regent of Illinois, told of the work being done by the D. A. R. and gave a very inspiring talk of encourag-ement and J,rood will to the Skokie Valley chapter. Mrs. Bowman, the former state regen t. who organized this chapter a few years ago, also spoke. Mrs. Herrick, ex- regent of a Chicago chapter, who is now one of com mittee of eleven in charge of the new building, Constitutional hall, now under construction in Washington, spoke of this million dollar project and brought plans of the building. The fund s for this building have all been oledged and the corner stone will he laid on Octob ~ r 30. It ·is a huge proposition and wilt contain an auditorium to seat 4.000 delegates and· wit! house a very fin·e historical library. The next regular meeting of th e chapter will occure the fourth Monday in the month. Announcement of th e program will be made later. _ _ _ _ D_D_D_D _ _ _ _ D. A. R.

Besides being a ch~rming place for such an occasion, the site of this clubhouse is on one of the most · historically interesting spots along the north shore and ,. ~ peciatly interesting to the members of this organization. The Indian Hill clubhouse has a cabinet filled with Indian relics found when the excavation for the foundation of the building was made. The chapter entertained regents of the Chicago and north shore chapters . a mong whom were Mrs. Fo)C, regent of the General Henry Dearborn chapter; Mrs. Ward of the Fort Dearborn chapter; Mrs. Garnett, of the North Shore chapter; Mrs. Hobart Young of the Kaskaskia chapter; Mrs. Winthrop Girting, ex-regent of the Glencoe chapter; and Mrs. Dixson of ·the Chicago chapter.

Mrs. Ames, ex:-national vice-presiqent general. of the D. A. R., led in prayer, and th1s was followed by a very interesting_ talk by the national recording secretary-general, Mrs. Earle. Mrs. Earle has recently returned from England, where, representing the D. A. R. and the Daughters of 1812, she had gone to conduct the ceremony of unveiling a granite gateway to the little American cemetery· n·e ar Plymo~th, where 218 American sailors lie buried. The story of this gateway is very interesting. About four years ago, Mrs. Earle found this cemetery near a vri son in England. A shabby, run-down place with a dilapidated wooden, gateway at its entrance and the words 'American Cemetery' printed in plain black letters across the top. England, with its carefully protected and revered traditions, made this neglect.~<! spot more prominent thari otherwise, and Mrs. Earle decided that these prisoners of war who had died over a hundred years ago should not be forgotten.
