The organization formed last Friday night at a meeting of the friends and rela- tives of the District soldier at the front, for the purpose of relieving the boys in blue as much as possible by providing for their wants, is rapidly being perfected, and is already in shape to receive subscriptions and contributions. A meeting of the con- stitutional committee of nine was held Sat- urday night at the residence of Rev. Henry N. Couden, the blind chaplain of the House of Representatives, who was the originator of the movement, and who has been chosen president of the organization. The committee drew up a constitution and by-laws, setting forth the object and aims of the association, which are the re- lef of the soldiers at the front by provid- ing them with the many little things that will add to the comfort of the life in camp or at the front, and which are not pro- vided by the government.
