was called to the fact that the association

broken, and then there was nothing 10 DO

NINTH CORPS.
Gen. O. B. Wilcox Calls the Meeting
to Order.

While drums were beating, bombs burst
ing, bands playing and people shouting the
annual reunion of the 9th Army Corps was
being held last night in Meade tent on Camp
Roosevelt. The inspiring sounds on the
outside only heightened the enthusiasm and
good fellowship which prevailed within.
Speeches were made, songs sung and stories
told. The boys of the 9th were RECALLED
with some of the daring enterprises which
they fearlessiy undertook and consum-
mated during the stirring times between
81 and 80.
The meeting was presided over by Major
General Orlando B. Wilcox, the only sur
yiving commander of the many which the
corps had during the war. When General
Wilcox entered the tent he was greeted
with three rousing cheers by his old COM
rades who had assembled, and in his open
Ing remarks he declared that 1.-The old red
shield Of the LIST Division of the 9th Army
Corps still shines with as much splendor
as ever.
The invocation was pronounced by Rev.
DR.. George E. Maydwell. pastor of Waugh
M. E. Church of this city. The Schubert
Quartet Club sang Rally Round the Flag"
and on the inspiration of the moment the
old soldiers all Joined in the refrain.
Col. J. Madison Cults was made secre-
tary Of the rally and was assigned the duty
of making the welcoming address. Col
Cults did this task in a most hearty man
ington was theirs in ownership. literally
and f1guratively. The occasion of the en-
campmelt. re said, was one Of the notable
gatherings in the history of the city, and 1t
was not only good for the veterans and
good for the city, but good for the whole
country, that this should be SO.
Resolutions were read by Col Cults and
adopted by the comrades congratulating
the Army Of the Tennessee on its organ
ization, which was In progress in another
tent, and offering expressions of felicity
and good fellowship. These were at once
dispatc to the Tennessee army meeting

feeling between the members, for the ad-
dresses are generally without attempt at
labored oratory. but are given in colloquial
manner that brings speaker and nearer into
close relation. The reunion committee and
its various subcommittee have cause for
congratulation on the successful outcome Of
their arrangements, and praise for their
work has been unstinted by the visiting

Eagle In Importance, and Is one of the
Prussian house orders, and was found
ed by George William, hereditary
prince of Anspach and Baireuth as the
"Ordre de la Sincerite" an l7O5. In 1892
it was adopted by Frederick William IL.
on succeeding TO the principality, and
has been prominent among the decora-
lions bestowed by the Prussian house
since that time in recognition of mer-
ftorious acts in time of peace, but not
in war.
The Order of the Crown is consid-
cred by the Prussian house of equal
Importance to that of the Red Eagle.
but it is not so highly priced by re-
cipients probably because of the fact
that it is newer, and has not been re-
ceived aud worn by so great a number
of distinguished personages. 1t is a
souvenir of the coronation of William
L, and was founded by him in 1861. II
is bestowed, as a rule, for merit on
persons not connected with the gov
eminent of the state, and In that way
differs from the Order of the Red
Eagle which Is given almost EXCLUSIVE
ly to persons connected with the civil
administration of the German govern
ment.

DECORATIONS BESTOWED ON
AMERICANS By THE KAISER

A dozen or more Americans have
been recipients of kingly decorations
from Prince Henry. Among them are
numbered several government officials,
and IL is question. as to whether or
not they are at liberty TO accept either
the decorations as any of the little
souvenirs in the shape of jeweled
cigarette cases, cuff buttons, match
boxes, etc, which the prince has so
generously bestowed upon those who
made his visit to this country pleasant
for him, for the law of the land in the
form of the constitution distinctly pro
vides that no one in the government
service shall accept any decoration or
other token of appreciation of intrin-
sic value from king or prince without
first securing the consent of congress.
But that is question that congress
will have to settle if it is ever raised
seriously, and IN the meantime the
presents are arriving and being dis.
tributed. The most notable ones are
the decorations of the Order of the
Red Eagle and the Order of the
Crown.
The Order Of the Red Eagle, which
is most highly priced of the two, ranks
next TO the famous Order of the Black
