TIE NATIONAL ENcAMPMENT
Plans for Entertaining Veterans at
CHATTANOOGA

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 21.-Pre-
parations for the entertainment Of
the 47th national encampment in Sep
tember are going ahead at satisfac.
tory speed. Nearly all OF the COM
mittees have pushed their work to
Il point where it may be said that all
plans will be carried through without
SO much as a serious hitch. The fl
nance committee, which has been al
work securing funds necessary to ii
nance the big undertaking, reports
tia. the money is in hand or in sight
payment of the bills OF the encamp-
ment association.
The committee on assignments 10
homes has met with success In the
matter OF securing lodging for very
large crowd of visitors during the en-
campment. The people of Chatta-
nooga are opening their homes to vet
Grams and visitors with the same
hospitality that marked their action
when the Confederate survivors met
in annual reunion here in May The
same rates that prevailed during the
Confederate reunion will prevail dur
ing the encampment OF the Grand
Army of the Republic. These rates
are in all instances reasonable.
There will be no effort to increase
rates for lodging or meals anywhere
in the city. In other words. the reg
ular rates for meals and lodging
will be charged by hotels. restau-
rants and boarding houses. The
best homes OF Chattanooga have
opened their doors to entertain visi-
tors and veterans alike at rates that
will not be objected to by any.
The committee on entertainment
has perfected number of plans to
amuse and entertain the visitors.
AS already announced, number OF
battlefield reunions have been ar
ranged for the veterans who fought
in various battles around Chat,a-
nooga. These reunions include the
fields of Cnickamauga. LUokoE,
Mountain and Missionary Ridge on
which the survivors will gather in re
union and hear the Incidents OF each
battle recounted by participants.
Contracts have been closed for
magnificent fireworks display on
Lockout Mountain and Walden's
ridge north of the city of Chatta-
nooga No finer spectacles have ever
been witnessed in the south than
these displays are expected to be.
The fireworks display on the summit
of Lookout mountain will be visible
hundred miles away. Signal fires
will burn every night on Signal Point
the highest ponl on Signal Noun
tain or Waldens ridge, north OF
Chattanooga where u fine summer re-
sort has been established. All OF
these points of interest 10 veterans
will be reached during the encamp-
ment by trolley cars and automo-
biles
The Tennessee river will furnish
part OF the entertainment. One OF
the best features will be hydro-aero-
plane exhibitions on the Tennessee.
These will be Supplemented by steam
boat rides to large hydrQ-electric

financed by the late Anthony n. Bra

sensible to the difficulties Of your posi-
ton yet we regret that you have not
returned the money.
I'VE are profoundly grateful for
your declaration of your future policy
Not to solicit contributions from
those known to be professionally en-
gagged in the liquor business and not
to accept contributions from the liquor
business in its organized capacity
And we also rejoice in the action of
the international Committee, grow
ing out of the protests made in Roch-
ester, in the assurance that this will
be the future policy of the nation at
large by the adoption of the following
resolution, under date of October II:
hat the international Committee
hereby records its convictions in the
securing of funds for association pur-
poses, that it is inadvisable to solicit
or accept money or contributions from
interests hostile to the ideals of the
association, and directs the Interna-
tional Secretaries, when taking part in
financial campaigns to declare to the
local associations this conviction and
council of the International Commit
tee"
Your new standard has the utmost
significance for it has put the brewers
in a class by themselves among the
business men of the city. 1t is one
more of those deliberate deliverances
of reasonable and fair-minded men
which will help to solidify public opin-
ion and to array public conscience
against the liquor business.
We believe that this local and ma
tional result should be accepted by all
as satisfactory outcome of the pro-
test made in this city from which
this change of policy is to date

scented a letter from Clinton n. How
ard written by him to be read to the
association provided such conclu-
sion was reached. The letter reads
as follows:
My dear Mr. Beaver: When | &C
cepted the invitation of the pastors to
refer to them the issue raised with the
board of directors of the Y M. c. A
in the matter of the Brewers Ex-
change contribution, it was with the
distinct intention of abiding by their
decision, without surrendering my
own conviction upon the return of the
money, with the confidence that the
pastors would be sure to express the
enlightened conviction of the church
of our day and generation that the
solicitation and acceptance of money
from the liquor traffic for Christian
purposes was, and is, an unqualified
mistake.
Finding ourselves in harmony on
the principle at issue, | accept with
gratitude to God the outcome in the
adoption of the local board and by the
International Committee of a change
of policy which will forever prevent
the repetition of the unfortunate stu
alton which occurred in Rochester
With this action on the part of the
Ministerial Association ends the local
campaign so far as | am concerned,
and its publication outside will as we'll
conclude the agitation begun in the
press of the nation so fas as | am
able to conrtol it.
Sincerely yours,

luIH Oh TIE brewers EXCndnRe con-
tribution solicited by the Y. M. C. A.
in this city at its $4,000 building
campaign last April, today in the an
nouncement OF a significant local and
national victory. Never again will
the Y. M. c. A. canvass the liquor
interests for money, or accept such
contributions when officially made
Clinton N. Howard, the Prohibition
advocate, took the matter up when
the contribution was reported, protest
ing its receipt and offering to substi-
tute a contribution for $4,000, if the
thousand dollar liquor money was re-
jected.
When the local board of directors
turned deaf ear, Mr.. Howard called
a meeting, obtained the support of
churches and the ministers, and sent
out nearly ten thousand letters and
protests. Foremost Christian leaders
Protestant, Catholic, public men
and -churchmen were enlisted
throughout the country, and without
exception opposed the solicitation and
acceptance of liquor money for Y. M.
c. A. or other religious purposes.
Some of these letters make a notable
contribution to the temperance liter
ature of the day. and will become his
toric when the final victory has been
won.
Left to Arbitration
1t was finally agreed by Mr.. How
ard to leave the local situation to the
decision of the Ministerial Association
after the international Committee had
taken its stand for change of future
policy.
The final report was made today in
reply to the communication of the
Rochester board which explained that
they had but followed the policy which
had prevailed in the previous seventy
eight building campaigns, that at
would transcend the bounds of Chris
ton courtesy to the Brewers Ex-
change to return the money" but that
such money would never again be
solicited or accepted
The reply of the Ministerial Asso-
citation includes the resolutions adop-
ted by the international committee,
and a letter to Mr. Howard "grate-
fully acknowledging his leadership in
i. keeping this matter before the public
attention until a new standard has
. been set UP on very important ques-
. ton; one which characterizes the lq-
uor traffic as an outlawed business,
with which religious forces of the
community can have no dealings save
"a an antagonist"
