The more than 1,300 committeemen comprising the Citizens' Executive Board of Pittsburg are hustling for all they are worth to make the 28th National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be held in that city September 10-15 next, a big success. The indications are for a tremendous turnout of veterans. More than 25,000 of them have been assigned to free quarters, to say nothing of the 5,000 to 10,000 who have reserved paid quarters and the 5,000 resident Grand Army men who will not need to secure accommodations.
This means that there will be over 50,000 of the "boys in blue" in Pittsburg during encampment week.
