OPENING OF CAMP ROOSEVELT.

OPENING OF CAMP ROOSEVELT.
1t has been arranged to open Camp
Roosevelt at 4:30 Monday afternoon, Oct.
G. 1t was hoped to have the President, in
whose honor the camp was named, present
to do this, and hand the grounds over to
the visiting veterans. He wished to do
so, but could not arrange his itinerary
to accomplish the purpose. AS there Is
no Vice President, the next in order Of
succession is Secretary Of State Hon.
John Hay. He was invited, and very gra-
ciously complied.
He will receive an enthusiastic recep-
tion by the veterans, in whose hearts he
has warm place, on account of his long
and intimate association with the martyr
ed Lincoln as Private Secretary, his spir-
tied poem, "Banty Tim," which has been
recited to the wild applause of thousands
of camp-ires, his Life of Lincoln, and his
vigorous assertion of Americanism in our
foreign policy. We have become world
power since Mr.. Hay took the portfolio Of
State. and he has managed our relations
in new and great fields with consummate
ability. No man could have done more
superbly when confronted by such momen-
tous questions of perpleXing novelty. he
is q finished scholar, and we may expect
from him an Grafton worthy of the great
occasion when tens of thousands of old
soldiers will meet together for the last
time with their old commanders in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the White House,
the War, State and Navy Departments,
the Treasury, and the Capitol, and in
sight of Arlington.
The proceedings will open with call
to order by Comrade B. ii. Warner, the
Chairman of the Citizens Committee, and
an invocation by Comrade w. G. Daven-
port, Past Department Chaplain. Chair
man II. B. Macfarland. of the Board OF
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia, will welcome the veterans on the
uart of the citizens, and then Secretary
HAY will deliver an address. Commander
Chief Torrance will respond, and the
Flag will be raised to a National salute OF
