citizens present, but regretted that more Q
cur older men and fathers in the city, who
have sous and brothers Who Gre soon TO be
needed in this great work, were not present
and BY their active corporation and persona
iuItrest in this work give to it the impetus
aud SUCCESS which it demands. He deemed il
TO he the dut7 OF every man OF them, by sucl
support ard interest, to give to the Cause anG
the young men of the city who may soon be
called into tho field such force and example q:
they alone can intuse and dresent.
He believed that for efficient working an6
successful results the South Division should
be at once subdivlded into at least three di
visions. The first division to comprise 81
that portion Of the South Side which lie
north Of Van Burcn street and between tn
| RIVER and lake.
! The second division to consist OF all Of tha
part Of South Chicago which lies north Q
