LADIES TO UNITE IN ONE ORDER

It Is Proposed TO Bring the women's
Relief Corps and Ladies' of the G. A. X.
Into One Organization in Order to Garry
Out Their Work on a Greater Scale.
LOUISVILLE, Sept 10.-Probably the most
important business that will be transacted
Rt the present encampment will be the
joining of the Women's Relief Corps and
the Ladies of the G. A. r. in one order.
While it has not been fully determined to
do this, it will be recommended, and the
sentiment in its favor is such that there is
hardly doubt of the consummation Of
the plan The Woman's Relief Corps has
expended i'm the neighborhood of a million
dollars in charitable purposes. 1t works
through all channels, while the other body,
being confined in its labers TO the wives
and relatives of the veterans, is necessa-
rily limited If the proposed plan is carried
out the work will be on greater scale
than has ever been known before.
