Miss Laura Clay, August 28, 1918.
N.Mill St.,
Lexington, Ky.

Dear Madam:

I have the honor to inform you that you have been recently
nominated for membership in the National Geographic Society by
Miss Anna Chandler Goff, ad I have pleasure in sending you an out-
line of the educational work accomplished by the organization.

The National Geographic Society was founded thirty years ago
to increase and diffuse geozraphic knowledge. Its membership in—
cludes many distinguished men and women prominent in the develop-
ment of our great nation, in educational work, and in the force
most industrial enterprises of the country.

To carry ut its object of diffusing geographic knowledge, tne
Society publishes an illustrated monthly magazine which is sent to
all members. The Magazine for 1918 will make two volumes of more
than 1400 pages and contain 1500 pictures as interesting as those
:iven on the enclosed circular. A11 receipts from the Magazine are
reinvested in the publication or in research work by the Society

The membership fee is $2.00 per year and oy joining the Society
now you will receive the l2 issues for 1918.

The May number is devoted to a masterly presentation of the
smaller mammals of North America, siving 125 pages of interesting
and entirely accurate descri‘tion of these animals by Edward W.
Nelson, 32 pages in full color from new paintings by Louis Agassiz
Fuentes, with a reproduction of wild animal tracks in a series of
20 drawings by Ernest Thompson—Seton.

With this wonderful issue is included the Society’s new War Map
of the battle area in France and Belgium on which there is shown
practically every village and crossroads mentioned in the daily dis-
patches, costing $20,000 to bring out.

During the past year, and at the expense of thousands of dol-
lars, the Magazine has published many remarkable illustrations in
color; for example, a series containing 1197 illustrations in full
colors of flags of the world, all flags of our Army and Navy and of
all other government departments, the official flags of every civil-
ized nation, together with a brief historical sketch of each, anw the
first complete collection of our state flags ever published; a color
series of the larger North American Mammals; a collection giving
every official State Flower; also scores of pages of velvety photo-
gravure and frontispieces together with large, authoritative maps.

Even this splendid achievement will be exceeded in the 1918
volumes.

If you desire to become a member, kindly fill out the enclosed
blank and return at your convenience.

Very truly yours,

W,

' Secretary.

 NAVY LEAGUE OF THE UNITED STATES

(INCORPORATED I903)

WASHINGTON, D. C.

FOR LACK OF SHIPS.

 

"They told me a million people were made homeless in six
weeks. * * * Along the roadside from Warsaw to Pinsk near
half a million had died from hunger and cold. The way
was strewn with their bones picked clean by the crows.
This I have seen." While Mr. Waleott was making this
statement, while men and women were dying of starvation,
millions of bushels of wheat and tons of food were spoil-
ing in Brazil, Australia and the Argentine — for lack of
ships. Ships mean life for the women and children of
Belgium, for the starving peeples of Poland, Servia and
Armenia, mean sucess for our armies in France and defeat
for the Hun.

As an individual you cannot build a ship, but as a member
of the League during the past year of war you have helped
to get them built. Through your organization you have
helped to enroll thousands of skilled workmen for service
in the shipyards; to sell more than ten million dollars
worth of Liberty Bonds; every American soldier in France
has been landed safely under the protection of a Navy made
more efficient through your support, and, moreover, you
have helped to supply the crews who manned these ships
with more than a million comforts garments.

The war is not won. Our task is not yet finished — in
fact, is but at its beginning. We must "Carry on."

You have helped us serve where assistance has been most
needed. The year ahead can bring but added responsibil-
ities and greater opportunities for service. We know you
wish to continue your participation in this work and hence
enclose a memorandum of your current subscription. May
we ask you to forward your check to cover, and at the same
time express to you our appreciation for your past support.

 Letters from UNITED STATES SHIPPING BOARD,
Emergency Fleet Corporation,
Washington, D. C.
nuflmw—-* April 11.1918.

Thank you very much for your letter of April 8th: transmitting
copy of the resolutions adopted by the Navy League Of’the Unlted
States in Baltimore on March 28th. I want to tell you how muCh
both Mr. Hurley and I and our associates appreciate the sentiment
expressed in the resolutions.

It is Very gratifying to note such an important body of men a8

the Navy League of the United States appreciate What has been
achieved by the Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation.
since their inception. Many good people of the country have 0V6?"
looked the fact that practically all of the old line shipbuilding
companies of the country were engaged on important NaVy worh_vhen
the construction of the Emergency Fleet Was begun and that it was
necessary for us to begin new yards for practically all our cone
tract ships.

Such actions as the Navy League of the United States cannot help
but site great encouragement to those to whom this important and

difficult task has been assigned, and I feel sure the resolu'UlOns
passed by the Navy League will haVe great weight in getting before
the people the facts relating to the construction of the emergency
fleet as they actually exist} ‘ '

Very truly yours,
(signed) CHARLES PIEZ

Vice President & General mgr.

-mmww~~——~—~—

This is the first onportunity I haVe had to acknowledge your Very
kind letter of Agril 22d with which you forwarded a copy of res0*
lutions adopted by the citizens of Omaha, Nebr., after your add-
rose on Wednesday evening, April 17,1918.

I think I should tell you that we have received quite a number 0f
similar resolutions w all the result of the splended work you are
doing. It is only another evidence of the great assistance and
effective work the Navy League is doing and I assure You that bOth
Mr§ Hurley and I are deeply appreciative of the efforts you all are
ma.ing. - _

Please accept my sincere thanks for sending a copy of the resolu~
tions to me.

Very truly yours,

My dear Niee Clay:
I am very sorry not to have

seen you in Kentucky but we arrived first in
Lexington on the 29th instead of the 28th when I

told you. We asked at Uie hotel for mail and for
some message from you but there was none the Clerk
told us. I tried to telephone to your house in
Lexington but when I found the telephone had been
discontinued, I decided that you were probably in

the Michigan campaign. fQAML/

W went away down to kvfimeuthw a.d over
to the Pine .o and saw the Pine Mountain Settle-
ment and around quite a good deal in Kentucky and

enjoyed the trip. If I could have lot you know long
enough ahead, I Would have done so, but the time 0

our starting was so uncertain on account of Mr. Mc-
Culloch's pre-occupation in business.

I thank you for your inquiries about the
children. Lieut. Hugh is very near France at this
time, having sailed a week ago. Hathorn whose life
Mrs. Upton claims, as you say is now l9,and is to
continue at Northwestern for a time, but as a soldier
under the new regulations. Catharine will finish
High School this year. Frankie is in second year.

All of us are well but not as happy as
we will be when the war closes.

Yours truly,
