The ChATTANOOGANS
For Preparations Made For
Reunion
Continued from Page Two.)

1928, will be, in my opinion, the most
interesting and enjoyable reunion that
we have ever had The arrangements
are thoroughly systematic and com
plete in all of the details.
THE encampment for the veterans
will be strictly military, with the de-
partments and divisions as separate
units. Each division will have
headquarters tent, connected by phone
with department headquarters and the
city. I have suggested to Gen. Young
commander in chief, that some brigade
commander and staff be assigned IS
each division headquarters for GER
tain period, such brigade commanders
being in effect officer of the day for
the period he is detailed to division
headquarters. | would like to see, also,
arrangements made for morning gun
at the camp, SO as to carry out the
effect of conducting the camp on strict
ly military lines
eve are making arrangements so
that every veteran can participate in
the veterans parade, which will be
kept free from features that have been
introduced in other years and be for
the veterans alone, so that they can see
so MANNED or feeble that it is impos-
sible or them to march as they would
like to- will be taken in auto trucks.

Grams will ride comfortably behind
their comrades of the respective bri
I gades and preserve the military cha"-
acter and precision of the parade.

the Eleventh cavalry, and the willing

mGnd. | am pleased to announce to
uIy comrades throughout the United
Confederate Veterans association tina
they will have a chance to see the
splendid modern cavalry regiment
mounted and fully equipped. The
Eleventh cavalry will parade in the
city on the morning of May d. the
first day of the reunion, that being the
only time that could be set aside for
this fine spectacle without interfering
with any other events of the reunion.
aside from the historical fields IF
the Chattanooga district, which appeal
to us all so strongly because of our
memories of what transpired here if
ty years ago, citizens of Chattanooga
are preparing to gice us a rousing
welcome with city gaily decorated

at night. Not only will visiting vet
Grams be within easy reach of Chick
