Copyright, 1899. by S. S. Mcclure COZ
THE circle is narrowing One name after
another is crossed out by the black pencil Of
grim death. Day after day at roll call we
hear OF veterans who are not present but
accounted for They have gone to join the
great majority OF our comrades who sleep
tonight beneath the low green tent whose
curtains never swing outward"
This was said Of the passing OF the Grand
Army of the Republic by President McKn-
ley at the last national encampment. He
summed up with brief eloquence the pathetic
story of the soldier of the civil war. This
fighting man-alas! will soon be only mem
ory For years the death rate has grown
and grown in the Grand Army.
Each time a national encampment has been
held the number of well known faces that
did not appear has been greater and the
tread of the old veterans who did appear
has been more uncertain.
Those who have attended these encamp-
ments regularly have grown accustomed to
this fading away, but even they will be
shocked when the report Of the adjutant
general for 1899 is issued. 1t will show
that within a twelve month over 1900 mem
bers have gone to sleep beneath the low
green tent whose curtains never swing out

ognized as 1.-The head and front of the or

He was not elected to any office in the de-
partment because it was feared that this
would hamper his work in organizing the
Grand Army on a national basis
Acting as commander-n-c chief, the doctor,
aided by Adjutant General Woods and
Colonel Snyder, pushed the organization as
rapidly as possible into other states. With
what rauldity they worked may be inferred
from the fact that by October, 1866, de-
partments had been formed in Arkansas,
Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota, iowa,
Indiana Wisconsin and the District of CO.
lumba national convention was called
by DR.. Stephenson to met at indianapolis

Firth of Decoration Day.
The most popular act of General Logan's
administration and in many respects the
most interesting in the history of the Grand
Army of the Republic was the creation of
Decoration day (May SO) Most persons no
doubt believe that Decoration day emanates
from congress. AS a matter of fact 1t was
some years after its creation before congress
took cogniZance of the occasion and made II
a national legal holiday. The original sug-
gestion came from a member of the Grand
Army, whose identity has been lost. Moth
ing is known of him except that he lived in
Cincinnati and that he was a German by
birth. He wrote to the adjutant general that
it would be a gracious thing If the Grand
Army should inaugurate a movement to dec
crate the graves of the soldiers who had
fallen in the civil war, on a certain day in
the spring of the year. He pointed out that
this custom had been observed for many
years in Germany, where he had served in
the army before coming to the United States,
and that the practice had much to do with
keeping alive the spirit of patriotism for
which the Germans are famous.
n. p. Chipman, who was then adjutant
general fell in with the suggestion at once
and submitted 1t to General Logan, who is
sued an order on May 5, 1868, appointing May
of each year as Decoration day, when the
posts OF the organization were requested to
"strew with flowers" the graves OF their
comrades.
1t is no small wonder, in view OF all this,
that the tears stood in the eyes OF the
president of the United States as, viewing
a parade Of the old soldiers, he said
The Grand Army Of the Republic is
marching into the shadows"
