Army Of the Republic are arriving fo'
the forty-frst national encampment

elsewhere than at Washington. At the
business session of the organization Il
resolution probably will be introduced
fixing that place as the permanent
meeting place of the organization
hereafter.
1T also is probable that within a few
years the annual encampment will be-
come only meeting of delegates, for
the veterans are, it is stated by G. a.
r. officials, becoming too feeble to at
tend these meetings in body and to
take part in the annual parade. Stats
