little squad from the Hospital Corps,

wounds, dangle empty sleeves at their
sides. or walk only with the aid of
crutches, would have been as sound as
hundreds of civilians who watched the

sergeants, Under command of Capt. F. j.
Reynolds, left the hurry and hustle Of
the G. A r. hospital tents. where sew
eb.y-five members of the Regular Army
corps have had charge during the past
week. They spent an hour within the
hig circle of tents which line the
ellipse. showing the veterans how
wounded soldiers of today are cared for.
Five Branches of Work.
The squad demonstrated five branches
of its work. each task being performed
with the same care, accuracy, and dis
patch as it would have been had the
men really been wounded instead Of

squad was a detachment from the COM

Withdrew Name.

General Dyrenforth denied that he
had and the member demanded to have
his name removed from the call. This,
ii was asserted. left the number of sig
natures on the call one short of the
number required isy the constitution.
Discussion as to whether the report
the committee should be received was
heated. angry words passing between the
veterans. Finally. 1t was agreed 10 con
slider the report. This was done, and
its defeat. by a big majority. followed.
The encampment next proceeded with
the election. General Dyrenforth won
by vote of 137 to 80. Charles E. For
rest, of New York. and General Free
man, of Kentucky, were chosen first and
second national deputy commanders.

ground and opened The blankets were
partially unfolded and the haversacb
and canteen were deposited upon them.
Small poles were drawn from the roll,
and In moment six shelter tents were
standing ready for occupancy, each one
being for the accommodation OF two
men. This paraphernslia is that used
by the private, and is not supposed to
be part of the equipment for the treat
ment of patients.
Twelve OF the sixteen men we're ac-
tive in the drill. The other four par
ticipated passiyely, as they represented
wounded soldiers The litters were
brought forward and to each one four
men were assigned. The twelve were
first drawn up in line and put through
a series OF evolutions. showing how the
litter is carried. Usually it is by two
men. although frequently it is shoul-
dered by one.
The tents were removed as quickly as
they we're put up and left ON the ground
with the hayersacks, canteens. and
pouches, while the men went through
the drill of the loaded litter" The
four supernumeraries ran ahead of the
line and threw themselves on the
ground.

The command was given and The three
squads went forward. two carrying each
litter and two advancing to the wounded

placed on the ground few feet from
the patient, Three men of each squad
went on one side of each wounded man
and the fourth STEPPED TO his other side
The four men raised the patient until

privates. The fourth private stepped
back over the litter, and, picking it up.

GEN. DYRENFORTH WINS
AFTER A HARD FIGHT
Reelected as Commander
of Union Veterans Union.
MEETING A STORMY AFFAIR
Charges Preferred Against Presiding
Officer Overwhelmingly Voted Down
by the Encampment.
MEETING A STORMY AFFAIR

IN lne lace OF the most strenuous Op-
position he has ever encountered, Gen
Robert St. George Dyrenforth was yes
terday reelected commander-in- n-chief OF
the Union Veterans Union. which will
today conclude three days session al
Concordis Hall. No more stormy ses-
sion has ever characterized a meeting
of the organization
The difficulty grew out of the per-
sonal differences of General Dyrenforth
and Gen. John F. Meachain, commander
of the Division of the Potomac. General
Meacham and others endeavored to bring
about the defeat of General Dyrenforth
in the election for commander-in-chiei.
They preferred charges against him. The
executive committee, acting on the
charges. recommended that be be sus-
pended until a hearing could be grant
ed. This was. overwhelmingly voted
down by the encampment. after which
the reelection of General Dyrenforth
was inevitable.
Charges Preferred.
The charges preferred against Gener II
Dyrenforth were signed by j. H. J..
Eager, assistant Judge advocate general
of the Division of the Potomac. They
alleged that General DFrenforth had
been guilty of gross violation of the
laws and constitution of the order, bs
his arbitrary and unjust exercise of
power and by his capricious and un-
seemly acts and words, tending to i'm
pair the efficiency of the order, to les
sen his own usefulness, and to diminish
the respect due the commander-in
chief
This charge was presented to the ez-
ecutive committee. Under it were TWEEN
and it was decided TO recommend the
suspension of General Dyrenforth until
a time for hearing could be set. The
Dyrenforth men allege that the oppo-
nents of their leader were desirous of
deposing him just before the hour Sc

The committee reported to the en-

named. The claim was then put for
ward that there had not been a majority
of the committee at the meeting which
considered the charges against General

had signed a call for meeting under
the belief that General Dyrenforth had
