In this way the committes- secured a good many valuable points. but it was soon disovered that there were a great many new problems to solve, due mainly to the fact that the number of visitors likely to attend an encarapment held at the nation’s capital would far exceed that of any previous encampment. i The first step taken toward the formation of the necessary organization wus the selection of Mr. Joba Joy Edson as chairman of the execu- tive commitiee. Mr. Edson was a member of the committee that went to Detroit for the pur- pose of extending to the old soldiers an in- vitation to hold their next annual encampment in this city. The valuble aid which he rendered in this preizminary campaign, as well as the well-known business qualifications which have been manifested in the course of his successful ed him to hiv associates on the com- valuable man to be placed in the re- position of chairman. His election ved with cordial favor by the public. Mr. Harrison Dingman was chosen secretary fn recognition of the fine executive ability which senses and which was demonstrated es specially when he was secretary of the commit- tee of arrangements for the triennial conclave of Knights Templar, which was held in this cit three years ago. Like Mr. Edson, Mr, Diugm fea member of the Grand Army. and is, there- fore, in thorough sympathy with the movement. Mr. Dingman has been honored with the high- est office in the gift of the Depa’ tof the Potomac. and in other ways it has been shown that he hae the respect and confidence of the old soldiers of this city. In no particular has Mr. Dingman disappointed the expectations that were held in regard to his usefulness in this position, WITHOUT ORORGE E.

Speaking of the work of his committee Mr. Carmody said: “We will establish at convenient points through- out the city, at tho Junction of the street rail- railroad stations, in front of the buildings and at such other convenient pointe ss may be suggested, about twenty ooths. In each booth will be stationed two or three intelligent men, perfectly familiar with the city, whose sole duty it will be to furnish strangers with information. Each booth will be supplied with maps of the city, guide books, railroad time tables and such other literature as may be of service. Of course everything will be farnished free of charge, including maps, guide books and all similar literature. Thess booths will be open from 6 a. m. to 9p. m., and the men in charge of them will be neatly uni- formed. We are now engaged in training a number of men who will form the nucleus of the information corps, and I am sure that no stranger will be at a loss for information, no matter what may be its character.” M.

The work of the committeo on grand stands, parks and reservations, of which Mr. 0. G. Staples is chairman, is as well advanced as there is any nocessity for at this time. Two large stands will be erected by the committee, one in front of the White House, for the use of the President and party, and the other in front of the State, War and Navy Department, for the use of the War Department officials and other guesta. The other reservations along the ine of the parade will be used for stands for the general public, and the privilege of erecting such stands will be rented ont to private parties, and the committee will shortly advertise for bids for euch privileges. members of the committee are 0.

It is not definitely acttled whore the campfires will be held, but according to our present plans . B. HAT. “You may say,” said Mr. E. B, Hay, chair- man of the committee on music, “that we progress. One beautiful fea ture of our work will be the singing of patriotic songs by 500 or more school rcbfidcen. It is probable that a great stand will be erected south of the treasury and the children placed on it. We propose to so arrange and costume the children, boys and girls, that they will represent an immense copy of the stars and stripes. That is, in one corner, the upper left- hand corner, the children will wear blue to represent the field of the flag, while here and there, in proper position, there will be children dressed in white to represent the stars. Then, running out from the children who will repre- sent the field of the flag and ite lunes of children so dreseed as to represent stripes of the flag. A line of red, a line of white, line of blue, and #0 on. believe the effect will be as beautiful as it surely is novel. The children will sing as the great procession passes the stand, the bands in the procession ceasing to play, of course, as they aj stand. The children will probably be taken from the high schools of the District, and they will soon begin practicing their songs. There will certainly be at least 100 bands in the pro- cession, and probably more. They will come from every part of the country, and will com- prise all of the great ones. In fact the number of bands in the procession will probably be the largost which ever appeared before in one pro- cession. Another thing which the committee is working upon is an arrangement by which a uniformity of time will be band, so that every man in the procession will keep ‘step with every other man in it.

This committee is busily at work preparing plans to enable the veterans to visit neighboring battletields by short and cheap excursions from this city.
