notably to the interests the city will have
for the veteran visitors and others next
week that Mr.. Warner and his associates
desire particularly the committee shall have
every help citizens of Washington can ex-
tend to it.
Courtesy to Delegates.
Gen. s. S. Burdett and his associates Of
the entertainment committee agreed last
night that the particular courtesy extended
the delegates to the national encampment
shall take the form of an entertainment
and reception at Convention Hall the even
ing of Thursday, October o. A meeting Of
the executive committee will be held this
afternoon and more definite arrangements
made. In their present form, however, the
plans of the committee provide that only
the delegates themselves shall be invited;
that the Marine Band shall render prone
made concert; that several brief addresses
shall be delivered by Gen. Torrance and
others; that Gen. Burdett shall preside;
that some entertainment Of divertlng
character shall be provided and that gen.
erous buffet luncheon shall be served.
Several subcommittee were provided Tor
and the executive committee continued as
follows: B. T. Janney, chairman; Dr. r. l..
Howe, A. H. G. Richardson. Major James
E. Bell, ]. B. Hammond and rank Hume
Committee on invitations. Gen. Burdett,
chairman and Messrs. G. M. Hustled F. L.
Campbell, Cecil Clay. George E. Corson,
Abram Hart, Wallace H. Hill, Frank Hume
J. B. Larner A. F. Mcmillan and j. B.
Thompson. Committee on public comfort,
Major Bell and such assistants as he may
deem necessary. Committee on reception
Gen. Burdett and the entire committee on
entertainment .
This decision on the part of the commit
tee on entertainment puts an end to the
doubt and uncertainty which has prevalleo
as to this entertainment. Gen. Burdett ana
his committeeman sought to take advantage

and give the delegates the benefit OF an ex-
cursion down the Potomac, either to indian
Head or to Mount Vernon. This was found
to be impracticable because OF the limited
funds at the disposal of the executive COM
mtttee. The agreement on a meeting at
Convention Hall is, therefore, something OF
a compromise.

ganized into relief squads, are to serve as
