The Military Event of the Year 1889-Facts.of
Interest Regarding the Formation Of
Societies of Veterans.

copyright, 1889, by American Press Association
The twenty-third annual encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic, opening at
milwaukee on Aug. q, will be the military
event of the year. The Wisconsin men, who
were represented at the head of the order
two years ago by Gen. Fairchild, bid earnest
ly for an encampment, knowing that the de-
tpartment had the elements to make such
gathering a grand success, and since the for
NAL announcement was made early in the
year a small army of committeeman have
been laboring to make the promise good. The
result will be tested by an unusually large
humber of comrades and their friends. The
encampment has become of late grand ma
ltional reunion of old soldiers and sailors in
and out of the Grand Army, and each year
adds to the interest and to the numbers of
those who wore the blue who attend
The growth of veteran societies is some
what remarkable in view of the number of
other benefcent and social orders that at
tract the masses and a SzOrb time and money
ia their various conventions and festivals.
Soldiers are found among all the brethren of
mystic rites, and in the Grand Army alone
humber nearly half million. Yet, aside from
ILulS, every dIIlJ Has us SOCl6ly, anu every
separate branch Of service, besides the corps,
division, brigade and regimental and battery
associations. The gatherings of this kind,
which any old soldier may attend and yet
keep in his place among his old comrades, will
average at least a dozen, and for all of that
the Grand Army meetings rally marvellous
Ithrongs and send them away, counting the
weeks until the next one comes around.
Without question the Grand Army is the
leader in the interest it awakens in the veter-
lans as well as in the number of comrades in
its ranks, as these are easily a hundred to one
of any other veteran association. The his
tory of this organization has been told many
times but it Is only when its simple begin
nings are remembered on the occasion of a
grand reunion like the one at Milwaukee
that the marvellous things about it appear.
The encampments bring together tens of
thousands, and tens of thousands who cannot
attend are interested in the event, and whole
states make a holiday to welcome the visiting
comrades. Yet this great movement had its
birth in the single handed efforts of two or
three soldiers in central Illinois.
The chief organizer was DR.. B. F. Stephen
son, who had been surgeon of the Fourteenth
Illinois, serving in the armies of the west.
After the war closed Dr.. Stephenson talked

Separate associations of naval veterans
now exist as follows: The Farragut Veteran
association, of Philadelphia; the Connecticut
Naval Veteran association; the Farragut
Veteran Association of the Port of New
York; the Farragut Veteran Association of
the West; the Naval Veteran Legion of Cali

citation of the Gulf, of New Orleans; Commo-
dore Foote Naval Veteran association, of st.
Louis, Mo-; the Kearsarge Association of
Naval Veterans, of Boston, Mass; the Mont
tor Association of Naval Veterans of Cam
den, n. J. In 1887 a National Association of
Veterans was organized by the representa-
tives of these societies, and the third annual
national convention will be held at Milwau-
kee during encampment week.

WoMAM,S RELIEF CORPS.

The first regular auxiliary of the Grand
Army is the corps of women helpers in char

to the needy, who are mainly widows and
children, aUd to the physically helpless, and
In the work Of anelioration the gentle min

days Of the war. The organization of wo-
mems corps was looked upon with scepticism
by the men of the order when it was first an
nounced, but every difficulty has been over
come and the corps is on sound footing,
and is, moreover, practical and valuable
auxiliary to the Grand Army. Each local
corps is auxiliary to a Grand Army post,
and in this way the work of relief is shared
by those deeply interested, and the plans and
purposes are mutual. The corps belongs to
the order and confines itself to the great work
of assistance and relief.

NAVAL DISPLAY ON THE LAKES

In awakening great expectations of a
grand naval display in the harbor of Mil
waukee, the committee have acted in accord
ance with the prospects. No better oppor-
tunity will be offered than that afforded by
the wide expanse of water looked down upon
from the bluffs, where it is believed 100000
people could assemble with comfort. A good
naval display will be a new feature, and the
naval veterans, whose enthusiasm has not
been exhausted in parades, will lend hand
heartily. The naval associations have had a
rapid and solid growth for the past two
years, and they will surely enjoy this privi-
lege of holding up one end of the Grand
Army load. Since the announcement of the
naval feature of the encampment scores of
local naval societies have been formed ex-
pressly to rally good crews for the occasion.

spokesman of the order, because the charac-
teristic manliness and integrity of the soldier
will not so far slumber as to permit the deg
radiation of the noble system of pension re-
lief.
After the post relief and pensions come the
soldiers homes. For men without families
and needing personal attention the home is a
welcome refuge. OF the homes the order will
remain the friend and patron.

vened in order to popuIarize the movement.
Then followed a visit of the commander-in-
chief and staff, the fixing of the date, the
opening of headquarters and the considera-
ton of about ten thousand inquiries, sugges-
lions and congratulations from comrades.
All of this preliminary work was so ably
handled, and all that has followed chimes so
well with the beginning that those who know
what encampments are and what Milwaukee
people are. predict a celebration that viii
eclipse all Others in point of attraction.
, And while the main feature-the attrac-
tions-has received all possible attention, the
comfort and welfare of those who go to
enjoy has by no means been overlooked.
Announcements have been sent broadcast
that accommodations would be secured in
advance for all applicants. In order to save
anxiety and confusion the applicant is as
signed to his quarters by written order and
his host also provided with a written order,
and on both the accommodations and
price are distinctly stated. For posts and
other organized parties, accommodations to
the number Of fifty and upward are provided
in one immediate neighborhood. Another
feature is the division of accommodations
into classes so that lodgings only, or sep
arate meals only, or partial or full
board may be had at equable rates
Prices are established at so cents to 81 for
lodgings and at the same rate for meals, and
full board costs from 81 so to 50 25 day.
These rates, Of course, are for boarding
houses and private residences Hotel rates
are from 50 to SIS a day. The numbers who
will attend this encampment is variously es-
timated, but 100000 is considered low fig
ure. All of the near by states will be repre-
sented by large delegations from every post
and survivors association. The representa-
tives in the encampment proper number
about 1000.
The Wisconsin comrades have a record
as a department Of which they may be
proud. The membership reported for 1888
was 11,0S3 in 234 posts, and the amount
expended in relief for the year was 81, 100. 30.
At the end of the war the veterans of the
state formed the Wisconsin Soldiers and
Sailors League" with the object of aiding
INDECENT comrades and their dependent fam
lies and the general advancement of the SOL
diers' interests.
