VETERANS OF TWO WARS.
Lawton Club Increasing in Member
ship-Old Soldiers Appreciate
the ORGANIZATION.

Lawton Club. League of American Vet,
Grams, met last night in G: \: r. nan
present, about one-half of whom were
members of the q. A. r.. and the re-
mainder veterans of the Spanish war. The
meeting was enthusiastic, and hfteen or
twenty new names were added to the
membership roll Judge Hoyt, the presi-
dent of the club, occupied the chair. 1t
was decided to include as charter mem
bers all the new members who
have signed the roll and as many
as will sign 1t the next meet
eral committees goes over until the next
meeting. Two committees were appointed
last night one on membership, consist
E. Hicks, and a social committee com
prsed of Lieut.. Rawson. w. Bradley. A.
w. Hastie. l. Beaumont and Capt. Tay-
lor. The duty of the last committee
is to provide some sort of entertainment
at each meeting.
The visit of Gen. King to the city came
up for discussion. The members were
all in favor of having Gen. King deliver
a lecture in Seattle, but as the affair had
already been taken up ny the Washing
ton Volunteers Association, the Lawton
Club will work along with the association.
An effort will be made, however, to have
club.
At the conclusion of the business part
OF the meeting several of the G. A. r.
men and Spanish war veterans expressed
themselves as much gratified at the sue
cess or the club. Judge Hoyt. In speak
ing upon this subject, said: I'VE of the
g. A. r. realize that 1t cannot be many
years until there will be so few of us
left that the society will become extinct
We feel that it is for the best inter-
ests Of patriotism that the old and young
veterans can thus be brought together
We know some of the boys who fought
in the last war, as old soldiers we want
to know them ALL and want them to
feel that they are Just much our
comrades as those who fought with us
in the civil war This organization will
not be confined to this state alone. but
will shortly spread throughout the coun-
try. for from what l have gathered from
speaking to c. A. r. men from other parts
of the United States. an organization of
this kind would meet with instant sue
cess. | like to see these young men meet
with us socially, as they will be our sue
cessors as the great national patriotic or
ganzation"
A number of others spoke along the same
general lines Maj 5. w. Clark, of the
@. A. r., i'm reply to a speech by Au-
gust Toeliner, in which the latter re-
ferred TO the c. A. r. men as "old men"
said such was not the case, and that the
G. A. r. men never grew old, as they were
always boys" Mr.. Toellner accepted
Maj. Clarks suggestion, and in a par
ticularly apropos moment recited oliver
Wendell Holmes poem, "Our Boys"
The club adjourned to meet on June IL.
