NAVAL VETERANS
GET SHORE LEAVE
Men Who Manned the Union War
ships and Gunboats Hold
Lively Reunion.

a perceptible odor Of salt and bilge
water hung about the waterworks COM
mittee room during the reunion Of the
naval veterans. In spite of the fact
that the National Association of Ma
val Veterans has its own meeting at
Providence, R. L., this year, 125 vete-
ing from ali parts of the Union
Many were the affecting scenes as
former shipmates found one another
after years Of separation. Often they
did not recognize each other, but the
ght Of easa the ed aSs on tes
inquiring they found one another and
retired to some quiet corner to COM
pare tales. There We're men of every
rank, but all met in common yesterday.
There was no program or business
session. The visitors merely met and
discussed questions of interest One
veteran called the attention of knot
people in Minneapolis do not know the
proper manner Of hanging flag. "It's
long ways from salt water and cut
tie fish out here and perhaps we can't
blame 'em," said ne in his remarks;
can't forget the old flag signals. Ev-
cry time see flag hung in peculiar
manner I at once translate it by the
signal code. This morning I was walk
ing downtown and saw flag hung
union in. That means distress by
the signal code. When the field, as
but in toward the house means dis
tress I walks up to the house and
rang the bell and asked if l could do
anything. They didn't know what I
meant, but I stuck to it and made
them see if they were not in distress
that the flag should be turned about
