f. L. EATON has received copy of the
resolutions passed by the Grand Army en-
campment at Washington, recognizing the
order OF Sons of Veterans, L. s. A., as the
| correct order. For some time there have
been in existence two rival orders of sons
of veterans, one known simply as " Sons of
| Veterans " and the other as Sons of Vet
erans U. S. A." The membership of the
former is confined to veterans sons of the
first generation only. The latter order, to
which the local camp belongs, is open to all
descendants in the direct line. The rivalry
between the two organizations has been
sharp, and a recent attempt to effect con-
solidation was unsuccessful. This action by
the Grand Army will probably settle the
| question OF supremacy,
