going forward rapidly and satisfactorily
| As before explained, the plan which
worked SO successfully i'll 1882 will be re
| peated. That is, the whole army and
| navy will be divided into Corps. following
as nearly as possible the wartime lines
Again, the White Lot. south of the White
House, will be the meeting place. Around
the great ellipse of that beautiful spot will
be headquarters tent for each of the
Corps and bearing its badge, large size
1t is expected that every comrade will
at once hunt for his old Corps badge rs
Il sigl of where his old comrades are gath,
| ering. There he will be at once directed
| to his division. brigade and regiment,
which meet in tents adjoining Corps
Headquarters. In this way the veterans
cannot help at once coming up against
the men of all others he most wants to
meet-the men whom he has come to
Washington to see-the chums of his old
regiment, brigade, division and corps. Ii

velt," us the White Lot has been
named, will be the center OF the most Ill

trail, near all the street-car lines, and the
