"AGGRESSOR FORCE" OF THE U. S. ARMY
APPLIES ESPERANTO TO ADVANTAGE
The following news note was printed in TRIAD, journal of the
Third Marine Division, It was sent to us with additional comments by
a member of EANA who participated in an "aggressor" unit.
"Batalas, batalas, detruas malamikon,
Atakas,  atakas, frapas malamikon!"
Thus, singing in their "native" tongue, Aggressor Forces on Iwo Jima
during the recent operation Flag Hoist met the attacking forces of the 3rd
Marine Division.
No, the aggressor troops were not from some foreign nation, but mem-
bers of the Division using the official Marine Corps aggressor language,
Esperanto.
Esperanto is a language perfected many years ago with hopes that it
some day might be adopted as an international language. It is based on
stem words from practically every dialect. For instance, "batalas" in the
first line of their song is "fight" as in battle.
Each member of the Aggressor Force was provided with his own ID
(identity) card and service record book,  all written in Esperanto.  In ad-
dition, Esperanto newspapers, documents, overlays and map symbols were
used exclusively.
In keeping wjth the aggressor Esperanto spirit, uniforms of the 2nd
Battalion during the operation had the word MARSOL, a contraction of
Marsoldato or Marine, on the left collar tab. Since these men were a part
of Task Force SHENG (Victory), they wore a shoulder patch bearing the
word Sheng on their right sleeve. (Ed: evidently some chinese has been
mixed in here.)
The use of Esperanto by Aggressor forces provides another example of
the thorough manner in which Operation Flag Hoist was conducted.
* * *
Our correspondent explains that the new edition of the army field man-
ual contains what is supposed to be an Aggressor's military service re-
cord book. It is written in Esperanto and English. The manual also con-
tains identity cards and other documents in Esperanto and English, that
may be copied for maneuver purposes. To quote from the manual itself:
"LANGUAGES: Esperanto is the official Aggressor language and is
used on all printed Aggressor forms. Aggressor troops, however, may use
the language of their assumed national origin. Therefore, documents may
be prepared, and interrogations conducted in Esperanto or in any of the
languages used by Aggressor".
Our correspondent also reports that Esperanto was used in a regular
army training film showing how to handle prisoners-of-war. Signs in the
stockade such as "File Here" or "Give Rank and Serial Number" were in
Esperanto.
ESPERANTO IN ACTION
The Rotary Club of Guararapes, Brazil, has included the promotion of
Esperanto in the program of its Commission on International Relations.
An English-Esperanto Chemical Dictionary, by Dr. D. R. Duncan, is
ready for the printer and will be published by the British Esperantist Sci-
entific Association in London.
The mathematical journal, "Annali di Matematica, of Bologna, Italy,
recently published a significant article (on para-analytical functions) in
Esperanto. The author is Professor M. Frechet, a famous mathematician
of the University of Paris and a former President of the International As-
sociation for Esperanto in Science (ISAE).

cially, at different hours, to North America, Central America, South Amer-
ica, Spain, Europe and Africa, North Africa, South Africa, the Middle East,
India, and Indonesia.
The Fortieth Universal Esperanto Congress will be held at Bologna,
Italy, from July 30 to August 6, 1955.
T/ie practical usefulness of Esperanto in the service of humane causes
was demonstrated once more recently when a lady in Cologne, Germany,
was able to locate the tomb of a nephew who had died in the war near
Udine, Italy. Being a member of the Esperanto movement, she used the
services of two members of the Esperanto movement in Italy—with almost
immediate success, according to Germana Esperanto-fievuo.
The 1954 edition of The New International Year Book (Funk & Wag-
nails Company) and of the Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Encyclopedia
Year Book contain articles on Esperanto (on pp. 151-52 and 139-40, re-
spectively) and listings of the Esperanto Association of North America in
their sections on Societies and Organizations (pp. 491 and 384).

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE ESPERANTO EXHIBIT
Donald Monro
/IN article about Esperanto had recently appeared in the Sunday Call-
—e/~\t Chronicle, Allentown, Pa., and I didn't want the people of Allentown
and vicinity to forget about Esperanto now that it had been brought to their
attention. I then remembered the Esperanto exhibit available at the Central
Office. This exhibit, by means of books and printed descriptions, illust-
rates the use of the interlanguage in diverse fields of knowledge and ex-
plains how the language may be learned.
Finding an exhibition place was my next problem. I first tried the local
Electric Power company, which sometimes has public interest displays in
its show windows, but in this effort I did not succeed. I next tried the
Allentown Free Library where I was immediately successful. They told me
that they would be glad to have our exhibit, and I learned that they had
excellent facilities to display it. There were two large exposition cabinets
just inside, near the entrance, and they wanted Esperanto in both. The
display as it comes from the Central Office would just about fill one ca-
binet. To provide for both would be fine for Esperanto, I thought, and I
agreed to furnish the material, but, of course, I had taken upon myself the
responsibility of enlarging the exhibit.
In analyzing the problem of making the exhibit larger, I decided that
the new elements should emphasize the practical applications because
the literature had already been quite well covered. The first addition was
the illustration of Esperanto correspondence. This display included Es-
peranto letters, foreign stamps and foreign post cards, and I made a caption
which read: Esperanto Correspondence (or Friendship, for Stamps, for Post
Cards, Next came a collection of Esperanto advertising folders and an-
other of travel bulletins. I had been collecting these for some time by an-
swering announcements in Amerika Esperantisto, and the Central Office
was able to add a few more to the collection. These advertisements, I
believe, are an important addition be-
cause people who have heard little of
Esperanto are greatly impressed to learn
that such well known firms as the Royal
Dutch Airlines and The Associated Bulb
Growers of Holland advertise in Esper-
anto and that lavishly illustrated cham-
ber of commerce type bulletins are being
used to entice tourist trade to travel cen-
ters of the world. To illustrate the use-
fulness of our interlanguage for the blind
I had enlarged photostats made from the
pages olAmerika Esperantisto ofthe Es-
peranto braille alphabet and of Helen
Keller's letter to Mr. Thilander, editor of
the braille magazine Esperanto Ligilo. I
also secured an enlarged photostat of the
leaflet Esperanto at a Glance. The ex-
panded exhibit included two photographs

The exhibit as sent by the Central Of fie

£
from the 1953 Congress, one of the banquet and one of the play La Provo,
and two books belonging to the youngest esperantist of my family which
were displayed under the caption: For Children.
The exhibit remained in the library about a month and before this pe-
riod had terminated, I made arrangements to have it in the libraries of
Muhlenburg College and Lehigh University.
In general I found that the Exhibit was welcome at libraries where
there were facilities for exhibiting it. The usual situation was this: There
would be at the library one or two exhibition cabinets in charge of a mem-
ber of the library staff who had the problem of organizing a new, interest-
ing and instructive exhibit each month and when it was suggested to him
that the Esperanto Association would solve this problem for him for one
month, he was only too happy to say yes.
In regard to the interest created by the display, more than one librari-
an told me that while the exhibit was at the library, the library Esperanto
books were out all the time and there were many inquiries about Esper-
anto literature.
After I had covered the libraries of the area where I live, I decided to
consider others not too far away. The State Teacher's College at Kutz-
town, Pennsylvania, seemed to be a place where the exhibit ought to be
shown because teachers are one of the groups best able to help our move-
ment. I was not only able to take the exhibit to Kutztown but a fortunate
stroke of luck occurred while it was there. The State Teacher's College
was the meeting place for the convention of the Eastern Pennsylvania
Librarian's Association, and the Esperanto Association of North America
became one of the official exhibitors. Among those who saw the exhibit
was the Librarian of the State Teacher's College at Lock Haven, Penn-
sylvania, and he requested to have it at his College.
An Esperanto exhibit offers a good opportunity for newspaper public-
ity. While it was in the Allentown Free Library, I contacted two local
newspapers and each made a worthwhile mention. At each College Li-
brary I suggested to the person in charge that Esperanto and the exhibit
would be good material for publication in the College paper, and an edi-
torial at Muhlenburg and a front page article at Kutztown resulted.
As a result of my limited experience, I have concluded that the Es-
peranto exhibit, arranged by the Public Relations Committee, and avail-
able at the Central Office is an excellent means of arousing interest in
Esperanto.                             _________________

S. MILLER W/LL/AMS GETS RESULTS FOR EANA
USING VERY EFFECTIVE PROMOTION METHODS
S. Miller Williams, now living in Vicksburg, Miss., has enrolled twen-
ty-one new members in EANA during the past seven months. And he has
set himself the task of securing "at least one new member a month and
two for each summer month"! On that basis his quota is filled to August
1955—but he does not intend to rest on his laurels! Most of his 'victories'
come from efforts among students in colleges with which he has been as-
sociated as a teacher. However, he also does the 'impossible' on occa-
sion, such as signing up his own family! His wife, Lucy, is an active as-
sistant, and his father, Rev. Williams of Helena, Ark., is likewise an ac-
tive Esperantist—both are members of EANA in their own right, of course.
Miller's latest success is the organization of a club of ten young ladies
in All Saints' Junior College, Vicksburg. And all are enthusiastic student
members of EANA. He is setting something like an all-time record in
many ways. It is therefore important for the rest of us to examine his me-
thods, and adopt them in our own endeavors wherever this seems practical.
We first heard from Miller when he attended the University of Arkan-
sas in 1951. He was instrumental in organizing an Esperanto group there.
Later, as a teacher at Wasatch Academy, Mt. Pleasant, Utah, he sought
an opportunity to get a feature article about Esperanto into a large news-
paper. He developed a plan for an effective Esperanto Promotion Kit from
the materials we supplied for the newspaper effort. Using a large roomy
brief-case (identified with a green star, of course), he arranged acarefully
selected KIT. By systematic selection, he organized the tools for selling
Esperanto: 1) General Promotional Literature— ready-made talks, PGLs,
pages from AE, "flash" material to arouse interest. 2) General Promo-
tional Pictures— culled from many sources, very important as visual aids
to persuasion. 3) Publications and Magazines in Esperanto—"Amerika Es-
perantisto", "UEA Esperanto", etc. 4) Samples of Material in Esperanto
used by Non-Esp. Groups — KLM folders, SAS, evangelical, tourist, com-
mercial, etc. 5) Esperanto Songs, Poems —very important part of KIT, be-
cause they show that Esperanto is a beautiful natural languages 6) Cata-
logs, Booklists, Offers — often useful when the deal is "closed", and pre-
sents ready materials for order and use. 7) Letters and Postcards from
Esperantists — arouses interest, especially for philatelists, etc. 8) Mis-
cellaneous — EANA documents, financial reports, etc., for the wary pros-
pects who need such assurance. 9) The New Esperanto Disk, with guide.
10) Space for Books — "Esp: World Interlanguage", Edinburgh, New Testa-
ment, Child's Book, Booklets, etc. It will be observed that the Esperanto
Promotion Kit is just what is needed for 'selling' Esperanto; and it has
proven very successful. Each Esperantist should make up such a KIT.
The Central Office will endeavor to supply materials and instructions.
In this brief article we can only sketch the successful methods used
by Mr. Williams, but it will be noted that systematic and planned effort
makes the difference. The two examples above illustrate the basic "suc-
cess story". A set task for each month re Members for EANA. An effect-
ive Promotion Kit. Then: "Plan your work,and work your plan".

*  *  *   THE EDITOR'S DESK
Golden Jubilee of EANA: Plans are rapidly taking shape for the com-
ing jubilee year. The Association will honor each and every member in
1955. And special attention will be given to our pioneers, veterans, and
sustaining members. We ask that each member begin now to "sign up"
every possible person for EANA. We are happy to announce that at the
time of going to press we have fifty more members than at this time last
year, and more classes in schools and colleges. Everything points to re-
newed interest and activity in your Landa Asocio. For instance, as the
official American section of UEA, we were told at Haarlem that the UEA
statutes support the principle that "in each country there can be but one
Landa Asocio". EANA is that association, affiliated with UEA, and of-
ficial Peranto of UEA. However, it is desired that the utmost possible
unity be achieved; and your EANA will exert every effort to bring unity
in 1955. By the time of the annual Congress of EANA, which we plan for
Milwaukee, as being the continental center, we expect to seal that unity.
You can help by lending your support to all Jubilee endeavors, and by
aiding the unity effort. Let's all "boost" the Jubilee!
"Letter to the Editor" Campaign: In the previous issue of AE, we
printed a remarkable record of success in bringing new members into
EANA—namely, that of Richard T. Vineski. This young man proposes a
plan for organizing a 'coverage' of hundreds of journals throughout Amer-
ica, with letters to editors. He has written an appeal for united effort
which we are sending out to all who may be interested. He stands ready
to head a Committee on Letters and News Service. Mr. Vineski seems to
have started something which can double our membership this coming
Jubilee Year. With your cooperation this plan cannot fail. Send to the
Central Office for a copy of the bulletin, and aid this important campaign.
"Bold Thoughts on Life" by E. G. Dodge: In the previous AE, we men-
tioned the plan of Mr. Dodge (proposed last summer) for encouraging high-
er categories of membership in EANA. We are to send a FREE copy of
his big, beautifully bound book, "Bold Thoughts on Life" to every mem-
ber, new, old, or renewal, who raises his payments for dues from regular
active membership at S3, topatron membership at SIO, or sustaining board
at S3 per month, or life membership at $100, In short, a FREE copy of
this fine book in English, by our former leader in EANA, to each member
who raises his or her dues to a category higher than the minimum $5 rate.
A descriptive circular and application blank will go to the membership
soon — i. e., with renewal notices, and to those already in higher cate-
gory. We trust that many members will take this opportunity to secure the
book, and at the same time give a great boost to EANA by enlisting in a
higher category during the Jubilee Year.
Christmas and New Year's Greetings: The pressure of work at the of-
fice makes it impossible to express our sincere gratitude and good wish-
es by greeting cards. Please know that we wish each and every member:

vi al la homaro. Ĝi montriĝis vivkapabla, efika
ilo por internacia kompreniĝo. Jam nun ni scias
pri ĝia valoro en la kampoj de kulturo kaj prak-
tika vivo.
La 15-a de Decembro estas ankaŭfestata kiel la tago de la Esperanto-
libro. Tute prave, Car la sekreto de la sukceso de Esperanto kredeble es-
tas, ke Zamenhof estis poeto. Dum la ellaborado de la lingvo li ĉiam kon-
troladis ĝian literaturan kapablon tradukante en ĝin nacilingvajn poezion
kaj prozon kaj verkante originalajojn. Ni tutcerte ne povas tro emfazi la
valoron de la Esperanto-literature Oni ne povas pli inde respekti la me-
moron de D-ro Zamenhof ol per zorga flego de nia literature
D-ro L. L. Zamenhof
REMEMORO PRI LA SESA UNIVERSALA KONGRESO - 1910
Mi alvenis iom malfrue al la akceptejode la Sesa Universala Kongreso
en Washington, D. C. Mi estis rapidanta al la aŭditorio, kiam maljuneta
sinjoro portante kongresinsignon haltigis min. Li ne estis altstatura homo;
li havis barbon kaj portis nigran Ĉapeleton. Li salutis min Esperante kaj
kvankam (laŭ mi) li ŝajne havis iom da malfacileco pri la elparolo, li bone
sciis la lingvon.
Li scivolis, kiamaniere mi lernis Esperanton. Mi respondis, ke mi ĝin
lernis el libro. Li komentis, ke mi sufiĉe bone parolas Esperante. Mi es-
tis penanta reciproke gratuli lin pri lia scio de la lingvo, kiam tre bele
vestita sinjorino vokis lin per la vortoj "Nia kara majstro". Konfuzite pro
mia impertinenteco. mi komencis ŜerĈi ian truon por enrampi, sed la sin-
joro — sentante mian embarason — pardonpetis pro la fakto, ke li ne tuj
diris, kiu li estis.
Mi ja renkontis la aŭtoron de Esperanto, kaj estis aprobanta lian uzon
de la lingvo, kiun li mem kreis! Poste mi konstatis, ke tiu elmo'ntro de
gentileco kaj modesteco estis karaktereco de D-ro L. L. Zamenhof.

STORY OF THE "REED GRAMMAR" AND ITS SPONSORS
Practical Grammar of the International Language is the title of an ex-
cellent inexpensive textbook by Dr. Ivy Kellerman Reed, author of many
aids to learning Esperanto. Old-time members are well acquainted with
this text, and new members should get acquainted with it. Practical Gram-
mar contains 150 pages, 4x51/4 inches, and sells at only 35# per copy
in its present revised fifth edition (original price was 15(f). This edition
is not the best letter-press printing — having been printed by the offset
method during war years — and that is why it sells at cost. Its printing is
not "de luxe", but it is well stapled in good card covers, and it contains
all the material of earlier editions.
This fifth edition, often called Reed (after its distinguished author),
was published for EANA by a group of sponsors in 1945. The idea of such
a sponsoring group who would invest in "shares" at $15 each (without in-
terest and with re-payments made as books were sold) was that of Fred
H. McMarm, then Chairman of the Finance Committee of EANA. Ernest G.
Dodge, then Chairman of the Executive Committee, gave invaluable as-
sistance at the seat of operations in Washington, D. C. Joseph Leahy,
then General Secretary, and William Plampin, then Treasurer, also asis-
ted. Airs. Frances L. McDowell deserves very special praise for taking
physical charge of books and shipments in Washington.
It has been the policy of EANA to order and pay for books as needed,
in small lots from Washington. Recently, Mr. McMann, after the death of
Mr. Dodge, proposed that EANA take all remaining stocks through a small
payment by EANA and a much larger payment by himself. Mr. McMann pro-
vided most of the funds to pay remaining sponsors, and contributed the
books as a Sustaining Contribution to EANA. Thanks to the generosity
of Mr. McMann, we now have all the books at the Central Office. While
paying tribute to the leaders in the cooperative venture to provide Reed
for EANA, we also wish to give public recognition to all sponsors:
Mrs. Angela Alfaroli      Esperanto-Korespondantoj       A. S. Mellichamp
Anonymous                            Milwaukee (Tony Nabby)     Joseph H. Murray
John Bovit                       Esperanto Society of                F. S. Rich
Dr. F. W. Breth                    Milwaukee (Tony Nabby)    Joseph R.Scherer
Charles Chomette           Dr. G. P. Ferree                        Mazah E. Schulz
Dr. Edwin L.Clarke       Hans B. Julow                           Rev. Jas. L. Smiley
Ernest G. Dodge             Joseph Leahy                             Glenn P. Turner
Armin F. Doneis             Fred H. McMann                         William P. Vathis
Some of the above sponsors bought more than one share. And we must
mention the unusual kindness of /. Gomes Braga of Brazil, who sent $150
to aid. However, the shares were already subscribed, and his money was
returned with cordial thanks of the Committee.
In marking the close of this splendid cooperative effort for EANA, we
urge our members to utilize these excellent texts for classes, for promo-
tion through gifts to interested people, and in other ways. Now that the
Home Student is unavailable, the Reed Grammar will prove to be even
more effective.  Buy them at three copies for a dollar.

ESPERANTA    KRONIKO
En la Publika Biblioteko de Newark, N. J., nun troviĝas la diskoj kaj
libroj de la "Connor Course"pri Esperanto. Laŭ raportode D-ro J. Gamba,
kiu persvadis la bibliotekon aceti la kurson, estas nun tiel longa listo
de atendantoj por prunte preni la kurson, ke oni ne permesas, ke iu per-
sono sinsekve ricevu la diskojn.
Antau 30 gepatroj kaj instruistoj en la Altlernejo West Side, Newark,
N. J., S-ino Jean Gamba antaŭnelonge parolis pri Esperanto.
£/ fora Tasmanio, Aijstralio, nia membro Charles Ramsey raportas, ke
li feliĉe kaj komforte vivas en sia nova hejmo. Li aktive partoprenas en
la loka Esperanta klubo, kiu nove organiziĝis antaŭ dek-ok monatoj. S-ro
Ramsey antaŭe loĝis en Washington, D. C, kie li deĵoris en la Brita Am-
basadorejo. Post sia emeritiĝo li translokiĝis al Aŭstralio.
Paul E. Noce, Micigano, 'montras la vojon' por aliaj komencantoj, ek-
de la aŭtuno de 1953, kiam li unue trovis Esperanton en la libro 10-in-l
Dictionary (dek lingvoj en unu libro). Li tuj fariĝis Patrono de EANA,
frue pagis la saman kotizon por 1955, donacis abonojn al AE por kelkaj
bibliotekoj, aniĝis al UEA, skribas bonege en Esperanto, legas diversajn
librojn en sia fako de inĝeniera scienco (Esperante kompreneble), kaj
progresas tre rapide, — Ĉio en la daŭro de unu jaro!
La Esperanto-Societo de Milwaukee dum kunveno la 13-an de Oktobro

Ernest R. Terr///, pionira Esperantisto en fruaj jaroj,denove okupiĝas
pri Esperanto. Li aperigis bonan "Leteron al la Redaktoro" en la ĵurnalo
Observer-Dispatch, Utica, N. Y. La letero inspiris redakcian komenton en
la sama eldono, kiu proklamis: "Ni ĝojas aprobi la studon de Esperanto,
Car se ni iam anticipas unuigitan mondon, ni devas kompreni unu la alian
pli bone ol nun"-Sekvis la ofte uzata paragrafo en Esperanto, kiu komen-
ciĝas "Inteligenta persono..." kaj finiĝas "Esperanto meritas seriozan
konsideron". Post tio la redaktoro simple aldonis: "Ni opinias samel".
En la Ŝtata Instruista Kolegio, Loekhaven, Pensilvanio, okazas eks-
pozicio de Esperanto, kiu daŭros unu monaton. S-ro Donald Munro (kies
anglan artikolon ni presis aliloke) arangis por montri diversajn Esperant-
aĵojn, uzante kiel bazon la vojagantan ekspozicion de EANA.

ESPERANTA    KRONIKO
En la gazeto de /a fervojlinio Baltimore & Ohio aperis novaĵo pri S-ro
John Robinson, Help-Cefoficisto de la fervojlinio, kiu aktive utiligas Es-
peranton inter fervojistaj rondoj tutmonde. La nomo de S-ro Robinson an-
kaŭ troviĝas kiel tiu de Esperanto-tradukisto en la oficiala listo de tra-
dukistoj por la B & O.
"meblaro Parolas Esperante (Furniture Speaks Esperanto) estas tito-
lo de artikolo en la literatura gazeto Saturday Review of Literature. La
aŭtoro, tamen, ne inventis ian eksterordinare lertan tirkeston aŭ tablon,
sed uzas la vorton "Esperanto" kiel sinonimon por "Universaleco". Nia
membro, F-ino Elsie Yunghans, atentigis nin pri tio.
Prof. C. Adcock el Nov-Zelando, kiu nun vojaĝas en Usono por obser-
vi edukadon vizitis la Centran Oficejon kaj diversajn Esperanto-klubojn
dum pasintaj monatoj.
Model a Esperanto-Klubo inter la Kolegioj estas nova grupo de stu-
dentinoj en All Saints' Episcopal Junior College, Vicksburg, Miss. In-
struisto S. Miller Williams, rimarkinda organizanto kaj varbantopor Esper-
anto, organizis la klubon. (Vidu pri li aliloke en Ci tiu numero de AE.)
La Sekretario raportas la elekton de nova estraro jene: Prezidanto, Anita
Reynolds; Vic-Prezidanto, Deanie Miller; Sekretario, Joyce Dattel; Kas-
isto, Sally Goodman. Aliaj membroj estas: Sandra Brown, Elizabeth Hol-
loway, Alice Miller, Nancy Newcomb, Rusty Richardson, Lu Rounds. En-
tute dek ĉarmaj fraŭlinoj, kaj Ciuj estas membroj de la Landa Asocio

"Vivo de Zamenhof" por atentigi al siaj samklasanoj kaj instruisto en la
lernejo pri la ideoj de Zamenhof, kaj samtempe pri Esperanto. S-ro Fuller
ankaŭ tre sukcesis en klopodoj vendi al interesuloj la libron "Esperanto:
The World Interlanguage". Li vendis jam pli ol 10 librojn.
Pastro E. B. Williams, pastro de la Unua Metodista Preĝejo, Helena,
Arkansas, bone prezentis Esperanton en parolado al Delta Kappa Gamma,
honora asocio de instruistinoj, la 18-an de Majo, pri Esperanto and Edu-
cation. Li fariĝis membro de EANA antaŭ kelkaj jaroj, kaj multon faris
por Esperanto. Ni ne povas ne sugesti, ke eble lia plej bona faro estis
inspiro al lia filo, S. Miller Williams, kiu nun estas mirinde bona kaj suk-
cesa kunlaboranto en EANA. Pastro Williams plene meritas lokon en la
Honora Listo por la Jubilea Jaro.
S-/no Li/io E. Fuller, anticipante la Jubilean Jaron de EANA, sendis
al ni valorajn fotojn kaj priskribojn pri la Unua Kongreso en Chautauqua.
Kiel pioniro de EANA,S-ino Fuller meritas altan lokon en la Honora Lis-
to, kiun AE presos por la Jubileo. Ŝi ofte kaj sukcese sendas 'Leterojn
al Redaktoroj'por propagandi Esperanton—enmetante la adreson de EANA
kompreneble. Krom tia aktiveco, Si disdonas propagandilojn, kaj antaŭ-
nelonge acetis ekzempleron de "Esperanto: The World Interlanguage" por
meti en specialan "Libro-Ĉambron" de grava loka asocio por vendado.
