One of the most important steps in pre-
pairing for the next encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be made
tonight at the Hotel Barton. Mr.. Frank k.
Raymond, as chairman Of the committee
on finance, will then meet with his asso-
ciateS Of the committee for the first time
and announce the sinews with which the
local committee is to prepare for the gath
ering of veterans. Ever since the idea was
projected Mr.. Raymond had been the fore
most figure In raising the encampment
fund. AS it now stands it is due almost
entirely to his activity, and tonight he is
to announce that the subscriptions re-
ceived, before even the initial meeting OF
the committee on finance, amount to well
over $4,000. The committee will organize,
receive Mr.. Raymonds statement, debate
means of increasing the fund-posSibly over
the $4,000 limit heretofore agreed upon
and hear addresses from Chairman War
ner, Secretary Bulkley and others who are
deeply interested in the encampmel<
Another committee meeting of great i'm
portance, that of the general executive
committee will probably occur within two
or three days. 1t has been Mr.. Warmers
intention to call his associates together as
soon as the responses have been received
from notifications Of appointment. So far all
those responses have been acceptances eX-
cept one. If that rate continues there will
be practically no new selections to make.
and the committee can assemble without
delay. The feature of this first meeting Of
the executive committee will be that the
officers of the committee will then state for
the first time the general plan of the en-
campment To that end Mr.. Warner de-
sires all who have any suggestions to make,
is to the method of entertainment, spe cial
features of the encampment, parades, illu-
in a nd rEC thnr fa,
ture of the enterprise, to communicate them
to him without delay.
