ARMY OF VETERANS.
Forty-Ffve Thousand to Go to Gettys-
burg Reunion.

Philadelphia, June 14.-Forty five
thousand veterans of the Civil War,
wearerS of both the blue and gray,
have asked the Gettysburg anniversary
committee to provide accommoda lions
for them during the 50th anniversary
of the famous battle next month. These
figures were given out yesterday at
Harrisburg by DR.. Samuel G. Dixon of
the state department of health as a
final estimate, which does not include
any of the thousands of visitors ex-
field.
Under the most favorable conditions
there would be many cases of illness
among these old soldiers during the en-
campment, DR.. Dixon estimated But
a much greater number is feared be-
cause of the heat, the excitement and
the strain of travel incident to the pill
grimage. Among other provisions for
caring for the sick, arrangements have
been made with hospitals in cities with
in radius of 40 miles to receive
cases from the emergency hospital to
be installed on the field. Harrisburg
Md, will give aid.
An estimate of the accommodations
which Gettysburg's 5000 inhabitants
can offer to the crowds of visitors in
dictate that $4,000 at most can be given
sleeping quarters. Food will perhaps
be available for greater number, but
the pressure of passenger train SER
vice probably will limit the amount of
food which can be brought into the
town. To provide against famine
among the veterans. the anniversary
plies for them be brought in before
