Building.
COMMITTEE is NAMED
TO HAVE CHARGE OF 1T
G. A. R. Mems Names to Be Placed
on Cards to Be Assorted
Every Ten Minutes.

A fea ture of great importance and in
terest to the veterans who plan to at
tend the national G. A. X. encampment
in this city in September will be the
reunions Of the various veteran or
ganiza tions.
Those in charge of arrangements for
the encampment are anxious that the
veterans shall meet their former COM
rades of the camp and battle and renew
acquaintances. To insure plan where
ly the former soldiers may get in touch
with each other all those who come to
this city to attend the encampment will
!, be asked to register at the headquar-
tiers to be established in the old census
Office building.
This registration will be under the
charge of committee consisting OF Dr.
H. A. Johnson of the War Department.
Col. s. f. Faunce of the Treasury De-
partment and DR.. Newton A. Strait Of
the pension bureau. Three others will
be detailed by Commissioner Saltz-
gaber to help in the work.
The registration will be made on
duplicate cards. one of which will go
to the corps headquarters and be filed
according to the regiments. while the
other will go to the committees head
quarters and be filed according to
states. In this way it is expected that
the two first thoughts in the arriving
veterans mind will be met. The first
will be an inquiry as to who Of his old
regiment and company are present, and
the second will be as to some other
comrade from distant state whom he
wants to meet.
Plan Made to Handle Inquiries.
The first inquiry will be answered at
his corps headquarters and the second
at the committee headquarters, where
the arriving veterans will be classified
according to states. 1t is expected that
there will be great rush Monday and
Tuesday of encampment week, when
most of the veterans will come in. In
order to furnish the information at
once. the cards will be gathered up,
sorted and distributed every ten min
