Proposed Appreciation.

Lieut.. L. E. Morgan, U. 8. n, retired

here, when they are ordered TO report

many more in the vicinity OF Wash

ably will be materially added to, Lieu
tenant Morgan said, before the time
OF leaving arrives.
''The people of Washington, no
doubt, are proud of their citizens who
are in the navy and feel certain that
they would gladly participate In a
demonstration TO honor them.
Il have had a number of requests
for a meeting whereby the peopie OF
this city could show their appreciation
of the action of these men,"
Lieutenant Morgan will communi-
cate with trade bodies within the next
few days to enlist their aid. At pres
ent II is planned to hold a meeting,

lowed by a street parade.
The training ships at Norfolk and
at Newport. r. l., are crowded and
until the present increments there are
assigned to duty on battleships, the
men OF the stated grades will be kept
at their homes here.
Formal inquiry showed, Lieutenant
Morgan said, that the business men
as well as the general public, would
be back OF a movement to honor these
men A number of prominent men
from naval and civil life will be asked
to speak.
