TWELVE j. S. WARSH|PS
TO anchor ON RIVER
Navy Department Enthusiastic Over
Arrangements for G. A. R.
Encampment.

The Navy Department is getting very
enthusiastic about the entertainment of
the Grand Army visitors. so much so
that every time DR.. Frank E. Gibson,
secretary Of the entertainment COM
mitteS thinks~he has his program all
filled in. along comes the Navy Depart
ment with some addition to the attrac-
tions they had promised.
Only this morning Secretary Daniels
notified DR.. Gibson, through Command
er W. W. Galbraith, that instead of a
fleet of four torpedo boat destroyers,
five have been ordered here, and that
arrangements have been made to give
two searchlight drills for the benefit Of
the capitals guests, Tuesday and Fri
day nights of next week, from to $3.50
o'clock
The action of the Navy Department
means that feet of twelve warships
will be here during the Grand Army
and below the bridge, visible at all
times the entire length of Potomac
drive. They are to be Illuminated by
electricity at night, with powerful
searchlights playing upon them.
All of these boats will be open for
inspection by the public.
Destroyers Ordered Here.
The names of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers ordered to Washington today
are the Perry. Monaghan. Perkins, Ster-
rett and the Wake. The mine layer
which is to give demonstration dur
ing the week is the Dubuque, one of
the most recent models considered the
finest boat of its class in the navy.
DR.. Gibson and the members of his
! committee have been arranging every
, thing for the convenience of the citys
guests to see these warships to the best
advantage. Arrangements have been
made through the Treasury Depart
ment for licenses, which have been
given to fifty motor boat owners, Civ
ing them the right to carry passengers
to and from these Varships at IL
cents per round trip. Negotiations have
been in progress also for providing
transportation to the launches from all
parts of the city. and all routes have
now been taken care Of save from 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue to the
float, a distance of perhaps a mile and
a half. DR.. Gibson is anxious to get in
touch with number of automobile
owners who would like to do a little
jitney business during the week over
| this route. He will arrange schedule
Of hours for these jitneys, so that the
public will be assured of transportation
at all hours.
