Gettysburg, Pa, June 25.-"There
will be ample accommodations and
plenty of rations for all veterans who
come to Gettysburg for the battle an
niyersary celebration next week, even
though the number exceeds by 10000,
the original estimate" was the state
ment made by officers of the regular
army at camp headquarters here.
Here we have over 5000 tents.
nearly all of which are now In place"
said one officer
Every one is supposed to be large
enough to receive IL men. We have
apportioned only eight to each tent
accommodations for 5000 men with
out crowding any one. 1t is true that
we based our supplies on an estimate
of 10000 veterans, but the amount is
elastic and can be made to care for
many others. For instance, we allow
a pound of bread for each man a day.
Few men eat this much, or even half
this quantity. Other supplies are
based on the same liberal plan, and
every veteran who come here will get
shelter and all the food he needs"
Great Camp Near Completion.
The camp will be fully completed
two days ahead of schedule time, &C.
cording to Major Normoyle, in COM
mand. Provisions which are not per-
ishable will all be distributed to the
kitchens not later than next Saturday,
and. under a scheme outlined by Cap
tain McCaskey, who, with Major
Grove, is assisting Major Normoyle,
the arrival of every train load of vet
Grams will be followed by the supply
of immediate mass requirements.
A remarkable system for keeping
track Of the veterans from every state
has been devised. with the result that
any delay after they reach camp Is
practically an impossibility.
Almost every day brings news of
larger allotments of veterans from the
various states. The latest request for
more space comes from Virginia.
