DETROIT READY
FOR THE GRAND
ARMY VETERANS

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 23.-All arrange
mente for entertaining the Grand
Army of the Republic, at the expense
of the Detroit taxpayers, for the forty
eight annual encampment of the old
soldiers here August 81 to September
have been completed, with the pros
pect that the veterans will find them
selves the object of unusual attentions
on every hand.
For several months since the city
council aeduieseed in a proposal by
Mayor Oscar B. Marx that a special
tax levy of cents on every thousand
dollars of taxable property be made to
raise funds for entertaining the veter-
ans, score of committees made up
of 200 leading business and profession
al men of the city has been at work
with headquarters in the mayors office
working out details of entertainment
The souvenir programs, and badges,
which alone represent an outlay of
over $4,000. will be handed over to the
veterans gratis To avoid the appear
ance OF operating on a profit making
basis the city has refused all advertis-
ing propositions; both requests for ad-
vertising space in the programs and
all applications for permits to sell SOU
venirs or souvenir badges of any kind.
1t will probably be the first time in
history of the encampments that the
G. A. r., men have been free from
bombardment by street hawkers.
The plan of street decorations in
cludes large white columns, twenty
two feet high, in the heart of the city.
Large oil paintings, Of men of valor
will be suspended between these col
umns, and the whole will be ornament
ed with flags and electric lights.
Throughout the city local commercial
organizations will help to carry out an
elaborate scheme of decoration and
illumination.
Notwithstanding that the ranks of
the G. A. r. are thinning rapidly each
year, the reception committee is pre-
pairing to welcome one of the largest
gatherings in the history of the organ
