executive committee on the 1917 encalnp-
ment of the G. A. r. today issued to the
public the following statement regarding
contributions to the encampment fund:
Quite a number of people in Washington
have sent in small sums to aid the citizens
executive committee in arranging for the
entertainment of the thirty-sixth encamp-
pent of the Grand Army of the Republic,
which will occur next week. A very large
majority of the business men of the Dis
trict have not been called upon. Doubtless
many others would be glad to give some
thing for this purpose. We would be glad
for the executive committee to receive
contributions from all who wish to help in
this movement, and send the same to the
office of the committee at No. 1905 New
York avenue. 1t is no easy task to double
the population of the city in one week,
then send away the sightseers to their
several homes and give them during their
visit comfort pleasure and satisfaction.
We would be glad to receive help in our
work. He who sends us money aids in
making friends for the national capital
