the Division Eucampment held last February,
and made q record of having the finest En-
csmpment the Division has ever known. They
work in perfect harmony with the two q. *.

%. which has never charged them a cent for
rent. Comrade j. Miller has quite recently
presented them with beautiful Camp flag. A
great deal of the work Memorial Day was left
in charge of the Camp, and the result was
| beneficial. The present Captain is George =.
Kirk No member has done more for the in
terest of the Camp than he. The Junior Vice
| Commander of the Division, F. G. Buuten. is
also a member, and large measure of the
| Camps success is due to him as Captain last
year. To show the good feeling that exists be-
tween Camp and Posts they had over 100
! GA r. men present at one meeting. The death
of Gen. Dwight Morris occurred last week at
| Bridgeport. At one time he was Colonel OF
the 14th Conn, and on his retirement from the
service was Brevet Major General. 1t is with
the most sincere regret that Sons of Veterans
see these familiar old war heroes answer to the
last muster call. wish that Sons of Veterans
| all over this broad land would stand nobly by
| the old veteran, and when any measure is
brought forward that has for its object the
betterment of them, let the Sons bestir them
selves. The United States Government never
can do too much for the old soldiers, and the
| chances are that she will never do enough.
| Can't you and / help in the matter? What
| Camp will be the first to avail themselves of
the new privilege Of having old soldiers at
its meetings?-C. FAYER SHERMAN, Division

Division Commander Martin, in Order No. 4,
says: THE country is to be congratulated
that the late anarchistic outbreaks have been
| put down and that peace again relgns In our
! land Your Commander cougratulates the
Order that during those perilous times many
| of our brothers did valiant work in helping to
| restore peace and order, and is constrained to
say that such work is living testimony to the
| benefcence of our organization. 1t is to be
| hoped that this failure upon the part Of those
| who would destroy our country will be fair
warning against any future attempts, and that
such troubles will not occur again soon. But in
case they do, let il be remembered that our place
| is ever on the side of Government; that there
| is but call to the Sons of Veterans in such
times, and that is to be loyal to country and
flag. If there be I'M Justice III laws and existing
institutions, your privilege through the
| ballot, but never for one moment ally your
| selves with those who seek destruction of the
| country that your fathers so manfully de-
| Tended"
