LL WOMEN OF SEATTLE ARE OUTSPOKEN They Favor a Big Reception to be Given in Honor of the First Washington Volunteers. Quite @ number of well known women of Seattle have expressed to the Star their opinions concerning the proposed celebration in honor of the return of the First Washington volunteers, It will be noticed that all of them are In favor of a combined effort to do something that Will be a creit to the community. “I think everything should be done for the Washington boys on their return,” said Mra. John Collins. “They should be received in a royal manner. T think all the ladies in Seattle are of one mind, and will do ell in thelr power to make the day a success,” “I believe that something ought to be done to receive the soldiers | Upon thelr return, and am willing to contribute towards a fund for a big | celebration,” said Mrs. Roger 8. Greene. “We ought to celebratethe home-coming of the Washington boys from Manila in some suitable manner,” said Mrs. A. L. Hutchinson mt ‘would be nice if they could get here about the Fourth of July, then we could have one big celebration. It would necessarily have to be out er doors, so that all could participaate. The ladies ought to get together ‘and take some united action in this matter, experience has been that the easiest and best way is by personal solicit ation. Of course, other plans could be worked at the some time.” “That ie Just what we ought to do, give the volunteers an elegant Teception,” said Mrs. W. T. Wickware. “A committee of ladies should be called together and offer eations as to what kind of a program should be prepared. I am in for giving @ grand reception.” “I would suggest that some sort of entertainment which would speak loudest of peace,” sald Mre. Marion Baxter, national organiser of the W.C. T. U.; “Women of the ainetrenth century are leading ta the agitation for universal peace andarbitration. It might not be improp- er to meet the soldiers with weapons of warfare that are garianded with flowers and some prophetic suggestions of the time when war shall | couse.

Have a live committee appointed, and be sure and have some of the ladies of the cky placed on it.” the Colby —_————_—_ “I think !t would be nice to give some sort of an outdoor entertain- fnent,” said Miss Emma Shumway, of the High school faculty. “But I would have to think the matter over before suggesting anything. Our high school cadets will be interested because several of them are in the army, and I am sure they would be giad to participate lam in favor of taking up 4 private subseripion for the expenses necessary to make | & successful demonstration. If collections are to be taken up among the school children, let the cadets take hold of it.” “There can be nothing too good for the boys,” said Mra. James D. Hoge jr. “it seems to me the ladies ought to get together and formu- late some plans. I shall be glad to assist in any way.” MAYOR HUMES PREPARING TO SELECT THE COMMITTEE It is my intention to appoint, without delay, ten members of the committee called for by resolution of the city council to prepare for a celebration when the Washington volunteers return home."’ Such was the statement made this morning by Mayor Humes to a representative of The Star. “You may add,"’ continued the mayor, “that this committee, in so far as | shall appoint its members, will be of a representative character. It will stand for the people of the city. There is no question of politics involved in such an affair. The citizens are ready and anxious to do honor to the Washington volunteers when they return home, and the celebration should be on a large scale, commensurate with the importance of the occasion. I have not yet determined on the personnel of the committee, but will make an announcement of my selections within a few days.” The couneil resolution provided that the mayor should be asked to appoint a committee of ten members, of which he should hairman, to act in conjunction with another ten to be appointed hamber of commerce, to raise funds by public subscription, and to prepare for and carry through the celebration. nnn ed Dewey Locates Yorktown’s Men.
