SONS OF VETERANS, U. S. A.

William B. Cushing Camp, No. %, di-
vision Of Maryland, held its last regular
meeting in Grand Army Hall, 1872 Penn
sylvania avenue northwest. November
with Commander Arthur B. BaTringer
presiding.
1t was unanimously voted by the camp
to hold a Veterans Night" In place OF
the next regular meeting Of the camp IN
November This meeting is to be held
in accordance with a suggestion made by
Commander-in-Chief Charles F. Sher-
man in an open letter to all Sons OF Vet
erans, published in the Banner for Oc-
tober. He particularly recommended the
18th Of November, as this date Is the
ffty-hrst anniversary Of the dedication
of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg,
and the delivery Of the famous Lincoln
Gettysburg address. His plan Is that each
camp in the order give a supper to the
veterans; follow the supper by one or
two short crisp talks, and then give the
boys of 81 a chance to relate their
experiences and spin a few yarns, thus
making II unnecessary to employ outside
talent. William B. Cushing Camp has ap-
pointed its patriotic instructor, G. 8.
Hill. to arrange a program for this oc-
casion and all the Grand Army posts as
well as all Union veterans who are not
connected with posts in the District OF
Columbia are invited to attend. Burn
side Post, No. 8. Of which William B.
Cushing Camp is auxiliary. has already
accepted the invitation and viii attend
in a body. Commander-in-ChiefC Charles
F. Sherman and his staff viii be invited
to attend, but as similar meetings will
-he held all over the country on that same
evening. and as their presence will be
in great demand, II Is rather doubtful
whether the local camp will be privi-
legged to entertain these dignltaries Of
the order. Some camp nearer the ma
tonaI headquarters, Mount Vernon, n.
z. will probably be chosen.
A committee OF three was appointed by
the commander to take charge Of the ar
rangements for a banquet which the camp
decided by a unanimous vote to hold on
Lincoln's birthday. at some hotel in the
city. This committee is composed Of
Brothers Robb. Campbell. and Howard. II
Is Intended that this should be a note
worthy AFFAIR and number Of prominent
sons Of veterans from all over the coun-
try will be present and take part in
the program. The commander-iuschief
