There are in Washington some thirty

major divisions s-the societies of the civil
war and the societies allied to historic
occasions antecedant to 1860. The Loyal
Legion, Grand Army OF the Republic. Sons
of Veterans, and the many other organ
izations clustered about the civil war are
not unfamiliar. The other and more re-
mote branch is less familiar.

where the national organization is not
subdivided.
The object of the societies is the stirnu-
