Few Ex.UniOn Soldiers Living
in Kansas Now.
Veterans Will Turn Out for
EmpOria Camp Fire.
FIVE YEARS-THEN NO MORE
After 1920 the Old Soldiers Will
Abandon Their Gatherings.
Old Settlers Celebrations Also
Relic of Old Days.

With reunions of Civil war veterans
growing less and less numerous in
Kansas, much interest is being mani
tested among the old soldiers of the
state in the annual reunion of the
Eleventh Kansas regiment to be held
in Emporia on December 7, the fifty
third anniversary of the Battle of
Prairie Grove, Ark, one of the regi-
ment'S hottest engagements.
The reunion is one of only ten held
by Kansas Civil war veterans this
year, while a quarter of a century ago
the soldiers, who populated the state
after the war, were holding reunions
in nearly every county seat and max
ing them the gala events of the season.
The big state reunion was given up
several years ago, the last attempt to
Der IA of this year. But the number
of veterans attending was small when
compared with those of other days.
Less Than 16, 900 Now.
While in 1880 there were 125, 1000
ex-Union soldiers in the state, the rec
G. A. r. shows that today there are
less than 16, 900, of whom about one
half are members of the organization.
Leaders among the Civil war veterans
assert that the Emporia reunion may
prove the last big reunion ana estimate
that in five years there will be no
more reunions.
Baxter Springs Greatest Reunion.
The Baxter Springs reunion once
was the largest in Kansas. Frequently
as many as $4,000 persons attended,
and former soldiers brought their
families from surrounding states for
the gathering. However, even there
attendance slumped to that it was
deemed advisable to abandon the re-
union this year. Today the largest
annual reunion in the state is held at
Dodge City, where it is regarded as a
festival week for the residents of the
W n nf
With the passing of reunions of
veterans there came "Old Settlers
Celebrations" But even these are
growing less numerous, it being point
ed out that it also will be only few
years until Kansas has no more old
settlers

RED HATS GO TO ROME
Cardinal Won Hartmann Will Attend
Consistory in December.

Rome, Nov 17.-Cardinal Won Hart
mann, archbishop of Cologne, will ar
rive here soon to remain for the con-
sistory in December, it was officially
stated at the vatican today This an
nouncement following the statement
that Cardinal MERCER, prelate of Bel
gium, also would attend the consis-
tory is considered significant as be-
cause of the war foreign cardinals are
lately exempted from attendance at
the consistory.
Cardinal Won Hartmann enjoys the
confidence not only of the pope but of
Emperor William. He was employed
by the pontiff in all negotiations to
obtain better treatment for French
ecclesiastics who had been made pris-
oners, for the exchange of wounded
soldiers and civilians unable to fight.
The cardinal conducts negotiations
directly with the emperor, from whom
he recently obtained comm utation of
death sentences passed several
prominent Belgian Catholics
Cardinals Gasquet and Biliot are on
their way here to represent Great
Britain and France, while the arrival
of Cardinal Begin, archbishop of
Quebec, is announced.

SENATOR BURROWS DIES
Politician and Civil War Veteran Ex-
pires Unexpectedly at Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo. Mich, Nov. 17.-For-
mer United States Senator Julius Gaze
sar Burrows of Michigan died at his
home here at midnight, last night
from an attack of heart failure. Sem
ator Burrows, who had just passed his
seVenty-eighth birthday, had been in
failing health for several weeks, but
had not been considered seriously i'll.
He retired to his room at 10 o'clock.
and died two hours later.
Mr.. Burrows was born in 1887 and
served as an officer in the Union army
in the Civil war. After the war he
became prosecuting attorney here.
He was first elected to congress from
the Fourth congressional district of
Michigan in 1872 and served continu-
ously in that body with the exception
of the Forty-eighth congress, until
1894, when he was elected to the sem
ate to succeed Frank B. Stockbridge,
also of Kalamazoo. He remained in
the senate for seventeen years, retir-
ing in 1911, when he was defeated by
Senator Charles E. Townsend of
Jackson. In 1908 he was chairman of
the national Republican convention at
Chicago.
He is survived by a widow and
daughter.

conditions, since trucks following the
aeroplanes ON land will test the power
of the motors to. stand up under serv-
ice conditions and the resourcefulness
and adaptability of the entire army
flying organization, particll arly its
To each aeroplane will be assigned
one truck, as tender, carrying the
crew, tools, spare parts and other sup
plies. A newly developed machine
shop truck, carrying a lathe, and
forge will go along to maintain the
squadron on the war footing. For
minor repairs to aeroplaneS forced to
land through motor trouble, corps
of six motorcycles, carrying emergency
repair kits and all capable of great
speed will be dependent upon.
First Signal Corps.
The First Aero Squadron, Signal
Corps, U. S. A, is the official designa-
ton of the flying unit The squadron
is divided into six flying sections, a
transport section, supply section. an
engineer section charged with motor
repairs and a headquarters section.
The officers are Captain B. d. Foulois,
commanding, and Lieutenants T. d.
Milling, c. G. Chapman, j. E.. Car
berry, T. S. Bowen and I. A. RAIDER.
Captain Foulois is the oldest military
flyer in the United States in point of
service. With Orville Wright he COM
pleted the first cross-country flight
made by a military acceptance. This
Fort Sill was chosen as temporary
station for the squadron because of the
opportunity for work in cooperation
with the artillery arm. The School of
Fire, for training artillery officers in
the conduct of fire and in the difficult
art of supervising a battery under war
conditions is held every fall at Fort
Sill, because its terrain and great ex-
tent of reservation afford the best OPP
pOrtunities for operations. Conditions
on the Texas border which took many
troops from Fort Sill made it impos-
sible to hold the School of Fire this
year.
Survey Cameras.
The invention of an automatic sur
vey camera has occupied much of the
time of the aviators. This apparatus
when set in operation by the pilot of
the aeroplane, in which it is installed,
takes a continuous series of photo
graphs of the ground underneath the
line of flight. The photograph can be
made ready instantly on landing and
gives a connected group of overlap
ping pictures, to which a scale can be
applied and from which the range to
any point shown on them can be at
once obtained.
In addition to this survey camera, a
telephoto lens can be put in operation
which will search out with precision
impossible to the fast travelling avia-
tor, the ground below for evidences of
concealed troops. batteries and con-
voys. Similar experiments will be
continued at San Antonio.
After removal of the squadron from
Fort Sill, the stations at San Diego
and San Antonio will be the only mill
tary posts in the country.
