TO OUTLINE PLANS
FOR CHRISTMAS FETE
Committee in Charge of Com
munity Celebration to Meet
Wednesday.

Tentative plans for the community
Christmas tree celebrati probably will
be outlined at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee which has the matter in
charge. to be held in the rooms of the
Board of Trade at 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. Chairman Cuno Rudolph
stated last night that he believed all the
subcommittee then would have reports
ready and that the program might be
outlined at that time. If this can be
done about twenty days will be given
for the preparation of the festival. Be
cause of the short time remaining. Mr.
Rudolph said, it was necessary that
definite plans be made as soon as pos
sible.
Plan Attracts Attention.
Numerous other cities will be led to
hold similar fetes through Washingtotns 5
example, it is believed. Several cities
already have taken action looking toward
a municipal festival. According to re-
ports which have been received the fact
that the National Capital Is working
along this line of civic endeavor is at
tracing the attention of many more.
Chairman Rudolph yesterday received a
letter from Milwaukee asking for details
of the Districts plans
Not more than one mass rehearsal prob
ably Will be held by the mammoth chorus
which is to be one of the principal
features. though Prof Otto t. Simon, who
Is in charge of the musical program. ex-
planned last night that rehearsals of
the various organizations would be held
as may be deemed necessary. The mass
rehearsal will be held Immediately before
Christmas eve. but neither the place nor
the exact time has as yet been selected.
Three sites-the plaza at the east front
of the Capitol, the space in the rear of
the State, War and Navy building. and
the ellipse-will be named by the commit
tee on sites, it is believed, when the
executive committee meets.
Thousands of persons have become in
terested in the plan for the community
Christmas and II is believed the event
will prove a popular one.
