Comm ander Russell Has Established

Milwaukee, Wis, May 16-[Special !
With fair weather tomorrow, Milwau-
kee will see the largest and most cnthusi-
aStic cncampmcnt of the Il. \. +. of
Wisconsin ever held, and the committees
in charge of arrangements here are max
ing preparations accordingly.
Department Commander G. II. Russell
arrived i'll the city this morning from
Berlin and established himself at the
Kirby house, which will be the chief
headquarters Of the veterans during the
two-days' encampment. When seen at
his headquarters this morning. Com
mandeH Russell said of the probable turn
out:
Prom what | have gathered during
my travels through the state, | am con
vlnced that the attendance at the en-
campment this year will be unusually
large. There has been apparently more
desire among the veterans to get to the
milwaukee, meeting than usually exists,
although the old soldiers are always anX-
ions to attend encampment meetings.
1hey seem to expect, however. that they
VIII be ablrd to meet more of their
comrades in this city this year than they
usually find at the encampment. There
Is one slight drawback to attendance and
that is the lateness Of farm work this

home at this time, not on their own ac-
count, but because their folks desire to
come to Milwaukee and they prefer to
wait until Carnival week ia make the
trip and then all come together"
