DOUGLAS SPENDS BUSY
FIRST DAY IN CAPITAL
Grand Army of Civilization
Indorsed; Tulsa's Inter-
ests Protected.
World Washington Bureau.

7O4 Metropolitan Bank Building.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l4.-This has
been Clarence b. Douglas busy day,
the results of which can be summed
up as follows:
Received the hearty personal in
dorsement Of the secretary of war Of
his plan to organize the Grand Army
of Civilization; received promise
from Van II. Manning. director OF
the bureau of mines, that he would
wait n reasonable time for Tulsa TO
raise $4,000 for a branch, and re-
cclved promises from Brig. Gen.
Charles Mckinley SalHman of the
signal corps that Tulsa's proposed site
for an aviation camp would be given
thoro consideration.
Secretary Baker was very much fii-
pressed with the Grand Army of Civil
lization and while he could not Of
ficially lndorse 1t, he said he would
like to see every United States soldier
a member of 1t, as well as those of
allied nations.
Mr. Douglas explained to Director
Manning that many men who would
contribute to the fund for the branch
OF the bureau Of mines were away on
vacation and that the money could be
easily raised If given little more
time. Manning assured Douglas that
the matter would be held In allegiance
for a reasonable time until the So
tourners returned. 1t Is the belief Of
Secretary Douglas that If the Iuist
Chamber of Commerce will now as
sure Manning that the required
amount will be subscribed, Tulsa will
get the station.
General Saltzman verified what wds
sent by The World correspondent
Wednesday to the effect that the COR
struction department of the aviation
board will not do anything toward
locating or building n camp in Okla
homa until Group was taken caro-
OF In Texas. and stated that Tulsa's
application would be given special
consideration. Colonel Douglas and
wife left for Atlantic City tonight.
