Real Invasion Begins.

Army officers said today that the COM
ing celebration will go down in history
as one of the greatest reunions of It's
kind ever witnessed. The officers said
the magnitude Of the undertaking would
be difficult TO grasp. even II the encamp-
1nent were for the entertainment of $4,000
men in the prime of life. but when one
considered that the average age of the
veteran is seventy-two years. the task
before those in charge OF the camp must
be realized
The real invasion of the quaint little
border town began early this morning. 1t
Is expected to reach its height by tomor-
row night. and gallantly he little
borough OF 1000 has tackled the PROPOSE
ton of caring for rs guests.
To add to the difficulties and dangers
of a situation hazardous under any cir
cunstances, the weather Is almost un-
bearable-
With a sun blazing savage from
brassy sky the humidity Is so high that
the least movement Is productive OF ex-
haustion. Thus far the veterans already
here have contented themselves very
largely with sitting about in shady. places
talking The thermometer at daylight
this morning was lowering about the
eighties and the humidity continued very
high

ATTORNEY PENNIMAN
JOKES WITH WITNESS
Suggests Company Tried TO Pro-

of Cash Register

Judge Connolly, on Tuesday, fined
the Detroit United Railway $500, al
the end OF what he termed the hoary
and venerable question OF whether the
d. u. r. should furnish heated cars
or refrigerators."
There were four complaints, made
by health board inspectors, and char9-

the ancient side door cars are still
in use, tests resulted in the discoS
cry that the temperature on the Tour
cars inspected ranged from 80 TO 40
degrees The minimum OF heat pro-
vided by the ordinance is 40 degrees.
The battle on the cold car PROPOSE
ton started two years ago, when the
company was hailed into court, and
announced that IL would make ar
rangements 10 live up TO the ordi'
nance.
Last spring. when again brought IN,
the company promised TO send most
OF their side door cars TO the JUNK
heap. and on those that remained In
service. planned to tear out the rear
seats and install Peter Smith heaters.
This was not done on the cars In
spected
The session brought out some whim-
sicai stuff.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Pen
niman sarcastically asked a witne 50
whether the ID. L. r. was trying 70
neat the cars with the friction from
the cash register, one OF which show
ed so fares.
Attorney Donnelly hotly retorted
that he wished that the court would
put an end TO the AIRY persiflage.
Judge Connolly did, by stating that
the company had been given every
opportunity to make good had failed
10 do SO and would have to pay a
fine OF 500 in each case.
Asked ~ that would be the standard
OF fines for future complaints OF the
sort. Judge Connolly smiled, and said
that he was not prepared to state.
