Of course the I'D soldiers are entitled to the

There was no trouble until Shaw came on.

he knew that the Grand Army Of the Republic

COMMANDER KAY APPARENTLY PLEASED
u Informed Kay that General o. O Howard

Fourth Division. telling him at the same time
that that would not interfere with the officers

not march except at the right of the line.
reported 70 General Roe and he said that II was
out OF the question II was then suggested
that the Grand Army of the Republic follow the
National troops leading the National Guard.
General Roe said that was equally out Of the
question. that the Plan and Scope Committee
had approved the order OF march, as arranged

Republic was not satisfied
Colonel shaw then said the Grand Army Of
the Republic would be content II picked de
tachment Of three hundred put at the head
