there is in that place an element strongly OPP
posed to the G. A. r., claiming that it is an OBJ
nONlOuS SScI6I Society, anu many WHO SuOulu
be its ardent supporters are bitterly antago-
nistic to it. In one case crippled soldier who
supports his parents and family, is, neverthe-
less, virtually opposed by his own father, who
is among those who raise the cry against secret
societies There is lively Post at Clifton !;
also, Camp of the Sons of Veterans in good
working order.
