LOOKING OUT FOR QUARTERS.
G. A. r. Posts That Have Applied for and
| Those Furnished Accommodation.
There is great activity at the headquarters in
the Atlantic building Of the citizens Grand
Army encampment committee. The CORE
/ spondence is increasing and rs the time draws
near for the encampment to be held applica-
tions for quarters from posts throughout the
country begin to multiply. It is suspected that
there is disposition on the part of the veterans
to de-ay making their arrangements for quar-
tiers in this city.
CIRCULAR OF INFORMATION
To correct this tendency as far as possible,
which, if unchecked, might result in q great
deal of discomfort to old soldiers who reach the
city without having given any notice of their
arrival, Chairman Edison is preparing a circular,
which will be sent out to every Grand Army
post In the country. stating in a general wav
the plan of arrangements thus far perfected,
and urging the importance by those who in
tend 20 visit the city to make arrangements
beforehand. They are informed that only MEM
bers of the Grand Army will be allowed the use
of free quarters. and that the friends who in
tend TO come with members should commune
cate with the committee on accommodations
and secure place to sleep. The circular empha-
sizes the necessity of arranging before coming
here for quarters, and the old soldiers are
warned that if they disregard this advice they
will run the risk of not having a comfortable
visit The suggestion is made that no baggage
be brought along that must be checked, as
owing to the crowd there are liable to be delays
IN the delivery of baggage. The veterans are
told that the weather is likely to be cool, but
that the nights NAV be chilly, and they are
advised to bring blankets. For the ordinary
weaa summer clothing it is thought will be
sufficient.
IL the excellent advice given in this circular
is needed the veterans viii find that their visit
here will be more ENJOYABLE in consequence.
What Chairman Edison desires to avoid far
as possible is having a lot of posts come in dur
ing the encampment week that the committee
have never heard of before.
