German Landwehr Changes Age Limit

The German Landwehr held the annual convention of the state body at Jackson this week, and transacted considerable business. Probably the most important change in the by-laws by the convention was to change the age limit from 45 years to 50 years. Until the age of 45 the rates are the same, but after 45 they are a dollar a year for each year of additional age up to 50 years to applicants for membership and insurance in the Landwehr.

The officers elected for the ensuing year are:

Colonel-Herman Sternhagen, Detroit. 

First Lieutanant-George Setzer, Corunna.

Adjutant-August Proefke, Detroit.

Financier-Frank Bayling, Detroit.

Trustees-Jacob Gutekunst, Grand Rapids; William Beck, Detroit; John J. Schantz, Ann Arbor.

The next convention of the Landwehr will be held at Port Huron the first week of next July.
