Navy League will take charge of the
work In every State. The principal
centers on the Atlantic coast will be
Norfolk, Va, New York, and Boston.
In Chicago and Cleveland. centers will
be established for getting in touch

( public yesterday afternoon decided to
hold its next annual encampment at
! Kansas City. Mo. Action to this effect
was taken at a business session of the
duly accredited delegates. held behind
closed doors in the Hall of the Union
at Camp Emery.
The sole invitation from Kansas City
was a telegram signed by the mayor
of the municipality. cordially tender
ing the use of the city for the next en-
campment The Middle Western dele

lowing the reading of the message. An
invitation likewise was extended by

interfere with the chances for the cleo
ton of Frank o. Cole. OF Jersey City.

leading candidates for the position and

for the encampment.
