G. A. R. MEETING SEPT. 19, 1920

Come* to Indianapolis Instead of Atlantic City, N. J., as Planned. Columbus, 0., June 22. —Indianapolis will be the scene of this year’s Grand Army of the Republic annual encampment, instead of Atlantic City, which was selected last fall when the encampment was held at Columbus. This decision was reached late Saturday at a meeting of the national executive committee here. The fact that suftcient monebcould not be obtained from £he New Jersey legislature is said to have been one of the main reasons sot changing the place of the gathering. Several other cities, including Colorado Springs, Colo., and Toledo, were strong contenders for the meeting. The encampment, it was announced by Captain D. M. Hall of Columbus, national commander-in-chief, will be held the week of Sept. 19, Instead of Sept. 25, as originally set.
