All the corps organizations in Wash
ington are getting into excellent shape
for the encampment, and there is much
emulation among them as to which will
show up the greatest number and the
most distinguished leaders. Unfortun-
ately, too few Of them can show leaders
of as high rank as corps commanders.
Death has been very busy with the high
officers since the encampment in Wash
ington ten years ago. Then nearly
every corps could show up commander.
Now the corps considers itself lucky to
have division commander to put for
ward. The Eighth Corps-which includes
the Armies of West Virginia, the Kama
who, Middle Department, etc.-has to
lament a most serious diminution of it's |
men Of any corps. Ten |
years ago it had brilliant array
