There has been no difficulty whatever
lin providing accommodations for those
who have applied, Notwithstanding the
fact that the hotels were filled to ca D. IA
acity two days before the encamp-
ment proper began. InSf fact. many eiti-
zens who threw their homes open to re-
5ceiNe visitors have not been asked to 81

that not sufficient applications have q
been received to require all Of the
places at the disposal Of the commit

mittee, but is a matter of congratulate
{ ton to know that there were more
than enough quarters offered to take
care of the veterans and Visitors who s.
We're unable; to secure quarters al the
