He will report to the chairman :
the committee, c. S. Abel, tonignt,
and by tomorrow noon, 1t Is expected
that deHnlte plans may begin to be
made as TO cars.
Keokuk people expect to have bet
ter luck getting their boys ~ OF the
cantonment at Christmas, than
Henry Ford did getting the men out
of the trenches at Christmas. The
real reason for the difference VIII be
that Keokuk spirit is behind the
plan, and behind it with every power
possible. That the boys must come
home for Christmas, possibly their
last homecoming for the holidays for
a long time is squirting the commit
tee in charge on to do many things
The committee is likewise counting
on the people of Keokuk to help de
r expenses, and there is no doubt
whatever in the minds OF the com
mittee but that people Will come
across" and do it gladly. It's going
to mean a lot to those boys to get
home even if It is only for three OF
four days and next to being home
it's going to be the best Christmas
gift the city ever gave its soldiers
The committee appointed by the
mayor to work out this plan Of bring
ing the boys home, met yesterday
afternoon in the Elks club. Chair
man Abel had a telegram from LIE

Send Man to Camp.

SSho "dlt ~ Sa''f'
In view of this fact, the commit
tee decided that it would be best to
send someone who was acquainted
in Des Moines. and who could visit
each man, and the commanding off,
GERS and ascertain the exact condi-
lions of affairs. 1t was decided that
a man on the ground could do more
than the boys themselves, working
under such handicaps as they are.
DIR. G. Walter Barr was called into
the meeting and asked to go to Des
Moines for the committee. He Sc
cured permission from G. F. McFar-
land, chairman Of the Red Cross, to
leave the publicity work he is doing
on this membership campaign. DR..
Barr left this morning for Camp
Dodge. He will see what arrange
ments can be made for transporta-
ton at Des Moines as far as OF
tumwa, and will wire Chairman
Abel Of this fact tonight. Tomorrow
he will visit the cantonment, meet
all Of the Keokuk men and see their
commanders. 1t is believed that a
furlough for the entire sixty men for
Christmas may be secured.
Can Secure Trucks.
Chairman Abel reported that he
had secured a very reasonable estl-
mate from both William Sinton and
James Cameron's Sons for use OF
their trucks to Ottumwa and return.
The committee hopes that through
o. B. McNamee, who is connected
with q transfer company at Des
Moines, that arrangements can be
made for getting the boys down as
far as Ottumwa. The trucks from
here would meet them there.
If this is not practical, then 1t Is
probable that individual cars will be
sent. In case only a few can come,
this may be the best solution of the
problem. The orders to h boys
prohibit them riding on any steam
trains. This is done to prevent con
gestion Of railroad systems, and is
taken to mean a troop movement
about this time, also. The Washing
ton Times contains this explanation
Of the no furlough order:
No general f%urioughs for draft
ed men in the national army
camps will be granted during the
Christmas holidays, according to
a ruling Of the war departing n
Secretary of War Baker ex-
planned that the railroads are al
ready over-burdened and that to
throw 100000 men on the rail-
way systems would wreck them.
Discipline of the camps, he said,
would also be shattered by a
general furlough.

Real Christmas Gift.

AS soon as any definite informa-
ton is available the public will be
given it. And as soon as plans are
finally made, the committee to secure
funds will make its round of the
business houses. 1t will not take
such a large amount Of money and
it will be Keokuk's gift to her SOL
diers. When one stops to think OF
all the boys are giving up. this
little bit that the people here a
do, paies into insignificance.
