RHODE ISLAND.
The Division Colonel, VIM. ". p Bowen. in
recent orders, SAYS: Camp 2 mustered in 10
members (by organizatiOn). Camp IA three,
and Camps ], 4, z. and Is, one each. Camp l
reinstated nine, Camp l3 five, Camp four,
Camp II three, Camp II two, and Camp one
Camp granted two honorable discharges and
two transfer cards. Camp suspended a.
Camp II six, Camps Is and "a five each, Camp
] three, and Camp 3 two. The suspensions in
Camp 5 were very properly made after careful
action by special committee and will mark
an improvement; one or two other Camps i'll
the Division need TO take the same advan-
tageous measures. Members must pay their
dues. and, if the dues are not too low, Camps
will enjoy financial prosperity.
The matter of the payment OF benefits is
being generally considered in tho Camps, and
either in the form of payment of benefits to
all members of the Camp, or rs benefit asso-
citation formed in the Camp but not COM
prising all its meInbers-ths idea bids fair to
be generally adopted, either now or in the
early future, i'll a large number of Camps in
this Division.
The Department of Rhode Island, GAR. is
warmly thanked for its fair and square COM
mendation in the following paragraph from its
last General Orders: " The Department Com
mander requests comrades when visiting Camps
of the Sons of Veterans to strongly urge upon
them the necessity of regularly engaging in
military drill, and becoming fully armed and |
equipped, 10 the end that these loyal young |
men, the sons of the brave boys of 1861 TO 1865, |
may become a militia reserve in the full |
strength and glory of patriotic attainments." |
Several Camps in this Division are buying guns /!
and equipments and many are regularly drill |
ing; these are also the Camps that show the most
progress. Let us all take hold in this matter, arm
and equip every Camp, and our 6lS members |
will double aud treble into first class brigade.
As stated recently by brother of the Division |
OF Minnesota Loyalty is the cardinal principle |
OF our Order, ability TO demonstrate the loyalty |
in more ways than one is another" The fol- |
lowing is adopted from Division Orders, No. |
10. current series. Of the Division OF Kansas: /
Bring out the flag and the drum and recruit |
a young army whose soul is patriotism and /
whose love for country will make il the de- |
fender of our Nation against any foe"
The resignation Of the Division Chaplain was |
accepted on July % The Mastering Officer is /
now addressed at City Hall. Providence K. l. |
new Camp is in process Of formation at |
Hope Valley. Camp 5, Newport, has taken on |
renewed life.
Hard times 3" will prevent the Division |
Dancing Assemblies. The idea is good one, |
however, aud will appear again.
Camp will give series Of socials this Win |
ter, as will Camp 10. The first social of Camp |
8 occurs on Nov. "a at Alcazar Hall, Main ST., |
Pawtucket.
The fourth grand fair of Camp was very |
successful, and aided nearly 500 TO its treasury
The suggestion of the Division Commander |
of Wisconsin that every Camp offer prize to /
the brother bringing in the largest number OF |
recruits" is very valuable and should be acted |
upon in the Division of Rhode Island.
