10 feed such multitude il no easy task. The
committee does not undertake TO supply food
but feels that il has some responsibility
IN the matter. Chairman Edson's inten-
tion TO make q contract or agreement
with some caterer or caterers at each place
TO supply meals at fixed price. the bill of fare
and the general regulations of the great dining
nall TO be under the supervision Of the citizens
committee. Applications have already been
made by caterers for these places. Ii Ia the
desire OF the committee to retsin no much oon-
troll OF the matter rs to insure reasonable prices
and good fare. II Is proposed to give 10 the
caterers whose offer is accepted the privilege
OF erecting temporary buildinss near the bar
racks.
WHERE TO PUT THEIR LuaoAaE.
Another matter which has not vet been SET
tied and which Chairman Edison knit his brows
little today was the way Of providing for
slowing away the satchels and bags Of the vet
ernns who go into the quarters. The space in
the interior Of the barracks - 30 taken up with
hunks that there will be little II any room ia
them for satehels. Whether portion of each
building will be set aside az q package room OF
separate building will be put up in each case
Tor The purpose are question: still unsettled.
LAY IN A SUPPLY OF Provisions.
The committee has on its mind many matters,
and one of them concerns every citizen Of
Washington who does not care 70 be
placed on short rstons during encamp-
ment week. The railroad companies for
see that their carrying capacity will
be taxed TO the utmost for several DAYS. and
railroad officials say that for q week there will
not be single freight car hauled into WASH
insion. That means thAt sugphes must be laid
this TO a STAR reporter today, said he hoped
every citizen wonld see the importance Of
obtaining supply OF imperishable food
! articles, such corned beef bsm. -four,
potatoes, &c, before the encsmpment week.
THE EAST WASHINGTON MOVEMENT.
As announced in The STAR, a committee rep
resentinS Farragut Post, G.. A. H., and resi-
dents Of East Washington is arranging to give
special attention to Grand Army posts located
IN their part OF the city. Besides looking after
their comfort the East Washington committee
will provide program Of entertainment for
their guests. The chief event will be great
outdoor camp fire TO be held in the ample
grounds surrounding Mrs. Emily T.. Briggs
house. Mr.. Edison. in speaking of the matt.r
today. said he thought all such movements
should be encouraged. He hoped citizens of
other sections would go 10 work with the same
idea of making il as pleasant ss possible for the
veterans who happen 20 be located in their
midst. MIR. Edson believes that the whole popu-
htion should turn itself into a general commit
tee to entertain the GRAND Army.
TIE PARADE.
The parade question is not yet settled. As
stated in THE STAR the commander-in-chief
proposed to have the parade formed In two
lines, Or double column, on Pennsylvania
avenue, 80 as to get il past the review
ing stand in reasonable time. Gen.
Spear, chairman of the parade committee,
has made other plans. Gen. Spear said today
to STAR reporter that the commander-in-chief
had not Vet announced his decision. GEN
Spear believed il practicable to march the pa
rade in a single column and to avoid the objec-
tons TO a double column. The main objections
are the confusion that may possibly ARISE
the fact that only one Of the two lines can pass
Immediately in front of the reviewing stand
and the difficulties that NAV be produced by
having two hands Of music almost side BIZ side
Gen. Spear said he believed the single line
given point in six or seven hours.
