TANNATT IS COMMANDER Application for Charter in the National Association Goes on the Dork. AMP ROOSEVELT, named in honor of the President, the first branch of the National Associa tion of Spanish-American War Veter ans to be formed in the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and Manila, was duly organized last night in the office of EB, Tappan Tannatt, late lieu tenant of the Second Volunteer Engi neers. The application for the char ter goes forward on January 31, on the steamship Doric, to Adjutant Gen eral William C. Liller, Lancaster, Pa., together with the names of the post officers, who were also elected at the meeting. Within a few weeks the charter may be expected here, and au thority given to some veteran of the late war to muster in the members of the camp. The charter includes the names of twenty-five men who enlist ed their services either for the Spanish- American war or the subsequent insur rection in the Philippines. The first post commander of Camp Roosevelt is E. Tappan Tannatt. He was chosen temporary chairman of the meeting when the gathering was called to order, and, as it is due to his efforts that the organizing of a camp in Ho nolulu was brought to the attention of the local veterans, he was unanimously elected to the highest office therein. The full list of officers, as elected, is as follows: E. Tappan Tannatt, post commander; J. H. Flynn, senior vice commander; Isaac Lando, junior vice commander; G. Seyde, adjutant; H. Ruff, quartermaster; David Dunlap, chaplain; F. A. Simpson, officer of the guard; A. B E. Barth, officer of the day. The National Association of the ‘Spanish-American War Veterans is the outcome of the war with Spain, and occupies the same position to the Span ish American War as the Grand Army of the Republic does to the Civil War. There are several organizations of similar character to the Spanish War Association, and the hope is expressed that in time there will be a consolida tion of all into the one to which the Honolulu veterans have given their al legiance. The organization is conced ed to have a greater strength than all the others combined, having 150 camps in thirty-four States of the Union, all in a flourishing condition, with up wards of 200 camps in process of or ganization. The name of the Association is the offi cial title given to the late war by the United States government. Its officers do not have military titles, but have adopted those used by the Grand Army of the Republic. The Adjutant General of the Association states that the names and prominence of officers who have ac cepted the command of Departments In various States is a guarantee of stabil ity. The National Council of Administra tion is as follows: General Fitzhugh Lee, General J. P. S. Gobin, Col. Geo. M. Studeba, Col. Samuel M. Welch, Jr., ‘Ment. C+yron H. Cook, Lieut. Col. Jack D. Fro , Major F. A. Williams, Major G. V. Packer, Major J. A. Nemitz, Captain A. S. Hutson, Major W. J. Whit thorne. The general officers are; Commander in Chief, General Willis J. Hulings; Se nior Vice Commander In Chief, Col. Jas. B. Coryell; Junior Commander in Chief, Col. Gracey Childers; Adjutant General, William ©. Liller; Quartermaster Gener al, Col. Edwin W. Hine; Inspector Gen eral, Col. George W. Taylor; Judge Ad vocate General, Col. Rufus M. Town send; Surgeon-General, Col. Victor C. Vaughan; Commissary General, Capt. Frank S. Clark; Chief of Ordnance, Capt. John Baker White; Chief of Artillery. Lieut. Col. William J. Fife; Chief of En gineers, Col. Richard Henry Savage; Chief Signal Officer, Col. James Perry Fyffe; Chaplain in Chief, Capt. Charles H. Jones. The Hawaiian Islands constitute a de partment in themselves, and any other camps subsequently organized will the second rank with Camp Roosevelt. Until the charter is received from the Adjutant General, nothing will be done by the lo cal organization toward enlarging the membership. When the charter and the list of officers has been approved and re turned to Honolulu, al the must-tin officer invests the camp with authority to be an integral part of the National Association, other applications can be filed. These are subject to the inspection a investigation by the camp officers or of the charter members, laws, and the t who have, under the National by the right to black-ball any army record may not be proved REALISTIC, Mamma— For coudness sake. Eisie, why are you shouting at that direrace Tul Yastian? Why dont you keep quiet, like Wile? Risie—“He has to keep quiet, the wiy we're playing. He's gaya comes Some ste and for you. —Philadelphia Press,
