WILL help VETS
MEET COMRADES
Registration Bureau to Be Es-
tablished During G. A. R.
Reunion.
DUPLICATE CARDS USED
One Will Be Filed According to Resi-
ment and the Other Accord
ing to State.

During the reunion Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic in this city in Septem-
Der hundreds of personal reunions will
take place between men who fought side
by side fifty years ago. but who since
have scattered to the four quarters of
the globe.
Although the veterans naturally will
be filled with joy at seeing fellow-citi-
zens who helped to keep the States in
union. their joy will be dampened and
they will go home disappointed If they
fail to shake the hands Of the men who
stood beside them on the firing line.
Realizing this feeling of the veterans.
those in charge have planned as a fea-
ture of the celebration a headquarters
to be located in the old Census Bureau.
First and streets northwest, where
each veteran will register and make note
of the regiment in which he fought.
Each registration will be made on du-
plicate cards, one of which will go to
the corps headquarters and be filed ac-
cordinS to regiment, while the other
will go to the committees headquarters
and be filed according to State. In this
way 1t is expected that the two first
thoughts in the arriving veterans minds
will be met. The first is an inquiry as to
who of his old regiment and company are
present. and the second as to comrades
from distant States whom he wants to
meet.
VIII BE Sorted Frequently.
The first inquiry will be answered at
corps headquarters, and his second at
committee headquarters. where the vet
Grams will be classified according to
States. 1t is expected that there will
day. when most of the veterans will
come in. In order to furnish the infor-
nation at once. the cards will be gath
cred up, sorted and distributed every ten
minutes.
