Washington In 1917.
While st. Augustine, Fla, and Chi

operate to swing tho convention to
Washington Is the probability that
the dedication of the Arlington Monu-
ment Will take place in November OF
next year. If II Is decided to make the
city on the Potomac tho next meeting
point, strong efforts will be made to
raise the rest of the money needed
for the erection of the monument, in
order to make it's dedication one of
the big features of the convention.
