comments General Ewell. "it is your

officers. with one exception. give their
services to the Grand Camp, the one
excepted being poorly compensated for
the work performed. It Is. therefore.
wrong to impose upon them the duty
OF making reports Immediately pre-
ceding and during the meeting Of the
Grand Camp. I. therefore. my COM

ships imposed upon them by neglect
or delay. and send in your reports and
pay your annual dues as soon as posi-
