There are many among the delegates
considered very prominent in G. A. r.
circles in the Buckeye State. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that Colonel Hunt will
be the next department commander
chosen for that Commonwealth.
The past week, but for the activity
among several of the minor subcommit-
tees, would have been an extremely
quiet one in Grand Army encampment
circles. There was but little of general
moment accomplished. This week. how
ever. there is promise of a change.
With the return of Mr.. Frank K. Ray
mond. the chairman of the finance COM
mittee, there is likely to be a meeting
of that committee called to receive the
report of Mr.. Joseph A. Burkart, who
has been acting as chairman in the alb
sence of Mr.. Raymond.
An Aggressive Policy.
It is likely that a determined and ag-
gressiye policy VIII also be adopted by
the committee, and that no time will
be lost in making the best possible use
OF the few remaining weeks before the
summer exodus begins in earnest. It
Ic feared that but little can be done by
the finance committee during the heat
&C term. and that whatever is not raised
Immediately will have to go over until
the arrival of cooler weather.
There is also an extremely active
week in view at headquarters. where
committees will meet every evening of
the week with the single exception of
Saturday. There will be meeting of
the committee on reunions tonight at s
O'Clock. and tomorrow night the Fifth
and Twentythird Army Corps and the
woman's committee on decorations have
had rooms reserved for them.

Chairman Brainard II. Warner. Of the
executive committee, is preparing to
give considerably more of his time to
the Grand Army work hereafter hav-

such condition as will make it possible
for him to do so. He is deeply Interested
in the success of the enterprise and
proposes to leave nothing undone that
would in any manner accrue to the ben
eft OF the great object in view.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey. the chair
man of the womans auxiliary commit
tee. is also preparing for an active cam
paign. She has tastefully fitted up the
rooms that were assigned to her on the
first floor Of tie headquarters building,
1405 New York Avenue northwest. where
she spends several hours each day with
her stenograpber. conducting the cor
respondence made necessary by the I'M
mense work that she has undertaken.
Mrs. Mussey and her co-workers
reached the conclusion some time back
that they would not receive all of the
money they needed for the entertain
ment OF the various women's organiza-
tions from the general funds, and for
some tine past the finance committee
which she has appointed have been en-
