sions was organized at G. A. r. head
quarters last night, Mr.. Arthur Hend-
ricks, chairman.

the purpose of escorting veterans to the
historic battle scenes around Washing
ton. During the coming encampment
there will be many visitors to the city
veterans of the civil war-who have not
had an opportunity OF reviewing these
battlehelds since they were there IN
active combat. and it is that they may
revisit the scenes of those memorable
conflicts that the formation OF the COM
mittee on excursions was suggested.
In addition to the one formed last
night there will be special subcommit
tees located at the different battle
grounds. These were appointed and
agreed to last night at the meeting. The
duties of the subcommittee will be to
make all arrangements for the reception
and entertainment OF the visiting vet
erans. They will attend TO hiring car
riages, ordering meals and furnishing
guides in order that no unnecessary
time will be lost in lookiE- after these
details. The railroads have made special
rates for excursions and announcement
of the schedule will be made later. The
visitors will be met at the train by the
committee and escorted to their destina-
tion.
