feet of the most extensive prepara-
ton for war ever undertaken by any
country. A steady stream of new
appointees to the great civilian army
pours into the city; the streets hum
with activity everybody is busy and
earnest; on every hand are the sure
signs of complete organization with
c fixed purpose.
At the request of the United States
Civil Service Commission the WASH
ington Chamber of Commerce has
undertaken the work of directing to
suitable rooming and boarding places
the new arrivals who are not
acquainted in the city. Hundreds of
desirable rooms, with or without
board, are listed, and at very mode
rate rates. Application for accom-
modations can be made by new ap
