dets' subscription Committee.
The participation of the Savannah Ca
dets in the land parade in honor of the
return of Admiral Dewey to his country
and his countrymen, that is scheduled to
take place IN New York on Saturday,
Sept 80. is now rendered certain. The
Cadets will go.
While the events of the past week have
interfered materially with the drills OF
the company, they have increased the in
terest of the general public in the enter
prise. and have exemplhed, as nothing
else could have done. the sterling worth
and value of the volunteer forces of the
state, Thus il Is that the subscription
committee has met everywhere with a
gratifying success and encouragement in
Its efforts to raise funds for the trip, and
enough has been secured to render the
trip assured. What little remains to be
raised. the members of the Cadets feel
viii certainly be forthcoming.
The drills of the company VIII begin
again tonight and viii continue on each
Monday, Wednesday and Friday night
thereafter, until the departure of the com
pany for New York. This departure, il
is expected, will take place on the We'd
nesday preceding the day Of the parade,
which Will put the company in New York
Friday and permit of its leaving Saturday
night. BY this means Monday morning
will find its members back in Savannah
and At their desks so that there Will be
a loss OF three business DAYS only.
The Cadets expect 20 carry about sew
enty-fve men. The number of those who
are signifyng their intention of going is
constantly on the increase and no difficulty
is anticipated in getting up the number
named at least. With good luck and no
adverse conditions with which to contend
and which must be overcome, the number
will be materially increased.
The German Volunteers expect also to
make the trip. with sixty men or more.
The exodus 20 Darben and the call upon
their membership thus made have in
terfered rather seriously with the plans
of the company, but they are not likely to
grow discouraged and go they doubtless
can and wiz. There was an abundance of
enthusiasm behind the movement week
or two ago, and though the war clouds at
Darien have temporarily overshadowcd il,
there is a rift now through which The
faithful say they can perceive tho sue
cessful elimination of their cherished
plan.
Atlanta promises TO send four companies,
making in oil a battalion of 800 men, to
the celebration and though they, too, have
encountered some obstacles, in the shape
of a scarcity of funds and others of like
iIk. ID is reasonably certain that the At
lantlans will be on hand when dewey
comes marching home" Participation in
such fuuctions has been wen sad to be
the long suit of the Atlanta people, and
il is not at all to be apprehended Of feared
that they win be willing to lose an op-
portunity like this.
The Albany Guards have raised a very
large amount by popular subscription 10
take their two companies to the scene of
the great celebration. The Townsville
Guards, the Waycross Rifles and the
Brunswick Rihemen are also in the midst
of an energetic campaign, and are virtual
" prepared to go. None of them are will
ing to admit there is even a possible
chance of their plans falling through, and
they confidently, and apparently with good
ground for their confidence. expect to take
part in the parade.
If all these plans are realized, there Will
be a regiment OF the Georgia Volunteers
90 attest Georgia's loyalty and devotion
to the great naval hero of the war, when
the parade in his honor is held. With so
many companies 1t is probable or more
than probable that some field officers Of
some of the regiments win go to New York
to take charge of their commands. If
both the Cadets and the Germans go from
Savannah. two Savannah officers, outside
either company, will go also, Lieut.. Col
Jordan f. Brooks and Lieut.. j. j. Hart-,
adjutant of the First Battalion.
