RECORD OF THE
FIGHTING FOURTH ARMY CORPS
By COL. GILBERT c. KNIFFIN.

One of the most famous of the or
ganizations which will meet in Wash
ington on the occasion of the Grand
Army of the Republic reunion is the
Fourth Army Corps. Local members are
bestirring themselves enthusiastically
with a view to getting as large an at
tendance OF their comrades as possible
and TO make their stay in Washington
as pleasant and profitable as can be.
The Fourth Army Corps was distinct
ly a grand fighting machine. 1t was
born of a great battle. 1t obtained It's
name and splendid birthright from the
consolidation OF the Twentieth and
Twenty-frst Army Corps. which had
been reduced in numbers on account Of
disease and battle losses. No body of
defenders of the Union saw and bore
more of the brunt of the great struggle
than this organization. 1t consisted OF
seventy-six regiments OF infantry and
nine batteries of artillery. They car
ried their colors to the front on many
a hotly contested field. When the com
mand was entrusted to Mai. Gen. Gordon
Granger, 1t was the opinion of Gen.
George H. Thomas. commander of the
Army Of the Cumberland, that as a fight
ing corps 1t had no superior in the ser
vice.
States Represented.
The States represented in the corps
were as follows:

Question of Free Quarters.
Despite the fact that the citizens ex-
ecutive committee has repeatedly stated
its position in the matter of free guar
ters and has sought to emphasize its
stand in this matter, and despite the
additional fact that General Torrance
gave an order on April Il which re-
lieved the citizens executive committee
of that responsibility. numerous appli-
cations are daily received at headquar-
ters for accommodations of this char
acter. These are referred TO executive
headquarters of the Grand Army of the
Republic and assignments of free quar-
ters are made from that body.
The call for a second installment OF
subscriptions has gone forth and has
met with gratifying response. Chair
man Frank K. Raymond OF the finance
committee. expresses the greatest en-
couragement over the situation.
Chairman w. c. Long. Of the fire
works committee, has agreed upon the
form of contract which will be sent to
the Pain fireworks people. and it is ex-
pected that that firm viii approve the
agreement some time this week With
the signing of this contract. some OF the
most important work of the ,encamp-
ment at this early day has been COM
nleted.
Ali contributions to the book to be
issued under the directions OF the com
mittee on literature for the encamp-
ment have been received with the excep-
tion of two, and these viii be on hand
this week. The material gives evidence
that the book will possess a literary
merit of high order. In view of the
fact that a considerable sum will be
required to publish the book in the at
tractive form desired. it is more than
likely that the citizens committee will
offer to sell the privilege of publishing
it With this purpose in mind. speci1-
cations will be drawn up this week and
bids probably called for.
