THE ARMY HOSPITALS
LIST OF THOSE IN WASHINGTON
SUPPLIED BY COL. AINsWoRTH.
Georgia Presents Candidate for Jun
ior Vice Commander-in-C Chief
Among the Committees.

fartIy on their own initiative and partly
! at the suggestion of many veterans who have
called at headquarters, the officers of the citi-
zens executive committee on the 1902 en-
campment or the G. A. r. are arranging to
have each veteran in the grand review
carry a small American flag. This was
done at several earlier reunions of the
q. A. r., the effect of which was very in
| spring. Indeed, the picturesqueness and
| general public interest in the march have
been so heightened that the Washington
committee proposes to repeat it in this in
stance even if the expense must be met
! from the encampment funds.
Small flags about as large as the average
typewriting paper are to be used. These
have the advantage of being easy to carry
and being fully as picturesque as flags
of larger size. What the cost of such flags
will be Is not now known. 1t is hoped that
several thousand can be obtained from
cities where this same course has been fol-
lowed. 1t is possible that many posts will
supply their own flags. Unless the means
of the committee prove entirely inadequate,
Chairman Warner holds himself ready to
supervise the general distribution of such
additional flags as may be needed.
Gen F. c. Ainsworth, chief of the record
and pension division of the War Depart
ment. has transmitted to Chairman w. P.
Van Wickle of the committee on marking
United States army hospitals in Washing
ton from 1861 to 1865. This has been turned
over to the subcommittee which passes
upon such matters of which DR.. Marcus
Benjamin is chairman. Interest in this
list is particularly acute because no com
plete statement of these hospitals has ap-
peared in print in many years.
