WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1920 \ Army and Church Leaders Honor Major E. J. Vattmann Over Dead Hero's Grave At the entrance of the soldiers' cemetery at Fort Sheridan is erected an inspiring crucifixion group. It is our Lord on the cross and Mary and John standing at his side, The death and the resurrection of Jesus are the supreme consolation of 'the dying and the dead. The group stands on a prominent plot, commanding the view of the graveyard. At the foot of the cross are carved his motto: the Flag and the Cross with the inscription that Major and Monsignor Vattman was a lover of humanity. In spite of some confusion on account of the change of time and scorching sun, there were a number of friends on the lonely and restful opening in Fort Sheridan. officers and soldiers present with the ~ military band of the fort. There were also the principal friends of the major among the clergy. Father Julius Devos of St. John Berchman's church pronounced a prayer in which he evoked blessing upon the friend of humanity: "For Father Vattman always forgot him- self for the benefit of others. He left Germany to attend to his country- men who emigrated to America; he gave up his fine and .quiet parish: to devote himself as chaplain to the soldiers, our saviors and our guar- dians. After many years of service he retired with the highest rank that anq chaplain had obtained. When America entered the war Father Vattman was the first to present inconvenience of the the woods surrounding There were many himself for service. In the last years of his life he took up the work of Catholic colonization. He was one of the founders of the Catholic Colonization society. Monsignor Francis J. Kelley, the president of the Catholic Church Ex- tension society spoke of the sacrific- es made by Major Vattman for the benefit of the soldiers. He spoke touchingly of Major Vattman's great interest in the men called to fight the battles of free men. He recount- ed how Major Vattman and he journeyed together to Cuba years ago to serve the men of the United States army and how the great army chaplain again in 1917 sacrificed the quiet and peace of his home in Wil- mette to serve as chaplain at Fort Sheridan when the soldiers needed a friendly and experienced confidant. Col. Bispham, commandant at Fort Sheridan paid a striking tribute to Major Vattman who had devoted so much of his life at Fort Sheridan. He related that when he came there in the early days the young chaplain paid him a visit and said that he was ready to help him in every way pos- sible. He became a valuable help on account of his practical mind and his persuasion. The Monsignor was a priest entirely devoted to his calling. At the same time he was a man in every sense of the term and it is a great pleasure to have known such a man; Fort Sheridan is honored, he said, to have him rest in its grave- yard watching, as it were, over his ancient charges. RESIDENTS INVITED TO FLOWER DISPLAY North Shore Horticultural Extends Special Invitation To Villagers This is an unusual peony year, and the peonies at the Lake Forest Flower Show, to be held at Gorton school on June 19 and 20 are sure to create a sensation. Unfortunately the hot weather has hastened the Iris bloom and there will be few of this flower shown. As a compensation the same hot weather has brought on some of the later blooming flowers, and these will be added to the show to take the place of the Iris. Many Lake Forest women are plan- ning to show table decorations, using their own charming vases and table accessories. Among these are Mrs. A. A. Carpenter, Mrs. Edward L. Ry- erson and Mrs. Hugh J. McBirney. Others will show flower arrange- ments. Mrs. C. Morse Ely, who has charge of this class, promises many beautiful combinations. Gardens Opened But the most interesting part of the Flower show is the fact that six Lake Forest gardens in their prime will be open to all holders of flower show tickets. Each garden is an in- teresting example of the varying forms of landscape architecture. They are large and small, on the lake and on the ridge. They will be open all day Saturday and Sunday and each one will fly a small American flag. If it is more convenient to visit them before attending the flower show, tickets may be purchased at each. Such an opportunity is seldom of- fered to the residents of the north shore and the chance should not be missed to see these beautiful and well known Lake Forest estates.

Be Hg ing, Society' re-enlistmenty MOBILIZE CLOTHING FOR THE ARMENIANS Illinois Near East Relief Organiza- tion Makes Special Appeal For Assistance _ Clothing is needed for the suffer- ing orphans in Armenia, where the people shiver six months in the year. These homeless children want food and medicine, which are being sup- plied 'to them by the Near East Re- lief, through the generosity of the American people, but a special appeal is made at this time for the mobiliza- tion of clothing by the people of Illinois through P. J. Byrne, Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Illinois Near East Relief organization. Mr. Byrne said: 3 "Colonel Jackson, who was with General Harbord on the Military Mission that went to Armenia, said that when he was in the Near East a year ago he was none too warm in his regulation Army uniform, with great coat and leather boots, and yet he saw women and girls of delicate breeding in the scantiest of clothing, many of them in rags. This was where the winter climate is as '| rigorous as that of the American rockies." Congressional Endorsement * The Near East Relief is one of two agencies incorporated by act of Congress to conduct relief work in Armenia, Cilicia, Syria and Persia. During June and July the Near East Relief will collect clothing for the thousands of poor, ragged and al- most naked refugees in the Near East, who, look solely to this organ- ization for the necessities of life. The poor and the formerly well-to-do will have no clothing, unless the American people come to the rescue with what they can spare. The fol- lowing are wanted by the needy over there: coats, dresses, sweaters, skirts, 'I blankets, petticoats, overcoats, wool- en shirts, and scarfs, heavy hose, underwear, wrappers, woolen gloves and mittens, boots, shoes, slippers and children's clothes of every sort. It is requested that bundles of such clothing be delivered to the minster, a neighborhood church, or the county chairman of the Near East Relief. If sent direct to Chicago, these bundles should be prepaid to the Near East Relief office, 19 South La Salle street, Chicago, Illinois. * : BAPTIST CHURCH TO HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC SATURDAY Members of the Wilmette Baptist church and the Sunday school of the church are to enjoy their annual pic- nic Saturday, June 19, at New Trier Field, Kenilworth.

RUBBER BINDS EASTERN 2 WORLD TO MODERN WEST The fascination which the strange lands of the Far East have held for the average American is taking on a more tangible form, now that travel and business are bringing Asia and the United States into closer con- tact. No article of commerce is doing more to bring this country into close touch with the mystic East than rubber. The rapid rise to supremacy in the production of crude rubber of the Islands of the Indian Ocean, com- bined with the fact that America consumes nearly three-quarters of all the rubber grown there, has given many Americans ah opportunity to peep behind the scenes and become acquainted with the lands and peoples of that distant quarter of the globe.
