Pennsylvania. the banner Department Of
the Grand Army of the Republic has always
borne the palm of superiority because of its
adherence to its uniform, and it is imperative
! that only those comrades be- permitted in line
at PIttsburg who are uniformed in accordance
with the regulations of this Department. 1t
is urged, too, that especial attention be given
to the Grand Army badge by present and past
officers and comrades generally.

Order says: The absurdity of Post of the
Grand Army of the Republic carrying banners,
transparences, umbrellas, other such para
phernslia, is too apparent 20 those who witness
the parade This Department has not earned
its proud position by the display of the grotes-
cue. Let each comrade be in the full uniform
of our Department, with the badge of our
ganization on his breast, the color5 properly
carried and Pennsylvania will again be &C
