Unless the citizens committee acts In
the matter and acts promptly 1t Is not I'M
likely that the meeting OF the National
Society, Army of the Philippines. scheduled
to be held In this city Angus. Is to 10, in
elusive, may go elsewhere. 1t is said that
Omaha is ready to entertain 1t In the event
of Council Bluffs failing to make the neces-
sary arrangements.
The meeting called for last night at the
city hall by Mayor Morgan had to be ad-
journed owing to only one member of the

Mr.. Knox that at least eighty and possibly
100 veterans OF the Philippine campaign
