CHATTANOOGA is READY
FOR HOST OF VETERANS
Preparations Have Been Com.
pIGtGd

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 20-The re-
union of the Confederate veterans be
ing only week in advance of the pres
ct date, makes some observations and
statements concerning the prepared
ness of Chattanooga to entertain tn
veterans and visitors pertinent in this
correspondence.
No reunion organization ever worked
harder to be ready for the event than
that of Chattanooga. Three months
have been devoted to the work, and il
is completed. The last meeting of the
general executive committee was a.
tended by every member and reports
from subcommittee were submitted
These reports showed that everything
was in readiness, and that Chattanooga
is merely waiting for the date of the
reunion to arrive
Camp Stewart by far the largest
single job on the list has been put In
first class condition, ready for it,
thousands of guests. Tents are up and
cots and blankets in place. The din
ing tent and kitchen equipment ar
complete in every detail. A force has
been engaged to handle this end of the
big enterprise. More than 200 helpers
are necessary for the dining room AMI
kitchen service. Nearly all of the tents
are on heavy blue grass sod, under
good shade and supplied with an abun-
dance of fresh water.
From points in Camp Stewart the
veteran has a fine view of Lookout
mountain to the west, rising like a
giant sentinel over a plain that has
been likened to~the plain of Marathon
by more than one writer. Missionary
ridge lies to the south and east of the
camp. In fact, the camp is situated
about half way between the mountaiI
on the west and Missionary ridge o,
the east, adjoining the beautiful ma
tional cemetery where more than -,
900 union soldiers were buried. Il
this cemetery there are a great man

Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
Secretary of State, says:

1.-THE chautauqua affords one of the
best opportunities now presented the
public speaker for the discussion of ques
tons of interest to the people. The au
dience is a select one and always COM
posed of the thoughtful element of the
community, and as they pay admission
they stay to hear l believe that con-
siderable part of the progress that is
now being made along the line of moral
and political reforms is traceable to the
influence of the chautauqua"

Plenty of Room.

Letters come to the officials of the
Chattanooga Reunion association from
various points of the South, asking if
there will be room enough in Chatta-
nooga to accommodate the crowd.
There seems to be some fear that the
community will not be equal to the
emergency. When Chattanooga invlt,
ed the Confederates to hold their re-
union here, there was a clear under
standing of what would be expected of
the community in the way of enter
tainment All of Chattanooga realized
that it would be no child's play to en-
terrain the reunion but all were equal
ly sure that it could be done.
At the outset of the preparations
for the reunion, it was decided to
make all necessary arrangements for
the entertainment of not less than
100000 people and not more than 1907
900. Chattanooga can comfortably en-
terrain 100000 and by crowding a lit
tie 10000 can be accommodated. If
it becomes necessary even the school
houses and churches of Chattanooga
and every public building in the cily
and county will be used as places
where the men may sleep on cots
However, that will not be necessary.
unless double the number of people that
have attended other reunions present
themselves at Chattanooga. People de.
string to attend this reunion are as
sured that they will find comfortable
lodgings and all OF the hotel and res
taurant service that may be necessary
to supply food. That much is as
sured.
Waiting For The Date.

British Society Has Bill Before
House of Commons.

In line with the efforts of the Ameri-
can Audubon SOCIETY," and other simila,
organizations to protect blumage birds
by prohibiting TIE importation Of their
feathers or skins. the British Royal So
ciety for the Protection OF Birds has pro-
cured the introduction In the house OF
commons of "a bill to prohibit the inn
portation Of the plumage and skins Of
wild birds, and to amend the ,enactments
relating to the protection OF wild birds.
Notification of the introduction Of this
bill has been received by the New York
Zoological Society, the secretary OF the
British organization stating that the
bill is the work of a committee that has
had before 1t all the evidence the trade
could furnish. as well as the facts ana
statistics supplied by our society and
from oincial sources
The bill before the house OF commons
proposes to do precisely what is proposed
by the similar clause in the Underwood
tariff bill--to put an end to the importa-
ton of the plumage of all wild birds in
tended for millinery purposes.
It has been stated that the enactment
of the prohibitory clause In the Under
wood bill relating to such importation
would bring about similar legislation In
England and Germany, and bird lovers
of the United States are elated at this
early indication Of the fur alment'of' their
predictions.

said it would, negotiations are still in
progress, and those who are informed
