no attempts at interference with the
meetings. A small crowd OF the curl.
GUS fingered in the vicinity of the hall
throughout the day and evening.
The meetings seemily were only
slightly affected by the declaration of

that every man attending would be
suspended from the army. 1t is esti-
mated that about $50 delegates were
present. A majority were youthful.
Very few wore uniforms. The attend.
