the National Encampment' contemplates
bringing every veteran Mt once into com,
munication with the comrades with whom
he served during the war; The great want
and usually the greatest disappointment
at Epcampments-is to meet old comrades.
Tens of thousands go to National En-
campments for no other purpose. The
chief desire of their hearts is to meet once
more the men with whom they marched,
bunked and fought. Next to the men of
their own company are those of their regi-
ment, brigade. division and corps. They
are too frequently disappointed in this.
The Reunions are scattered all over the
city. they are held in places difficult for a
be inconvenient. The Reunion Commit
tee of Washington hopes to obviate all
this. They will erect tents on the White
Lot, south of the White House, a very
central location, in which all the Reunions
will be held. Around the elipse will be
large hospital tents, for the headquarters
of the corps, each of which will bear a
well-known corps badge. 1t is expected
that every veteran arriving in the city
in his lodgings, go to Camp Roosevelt" ="
as the place has been named, and there
find the headquarters Of the corps in which
he served. He will make himself known
there. and register under his regimental
designation. This will at once bring all
the members of each regiment into com
munication, and make certain that every

to see. Camp Roosevelt is one of the
loveliest spots in Washington. and the old
comrades can sit under the shade of the
fine trees in the neighborhood of the White
House, Treasury and Monument, and talk
together the livelong day, if they choose.
There will be something going on con-
stantly. if they want to participate in other
of armies, corps, divi-
sions, brigades and regiments. 1t is pro-
posed to make Camp Roosevelt" regu-
lar camp, with two or three regiments of
well-drilled, armed and uniformed Sons of
Veterans as the garrison and carrying on
the regular camp routine.

surest way of bringing the veterans to-
gether in old-time associations. From the
