dense that persons arriving found 1t
near impossible to push through to the

by about thirty other station employees.
Through the lane the train arrivals
could walk rapidly to the street en-
frances.
Many Reunions Held.
The sight that the lane presented
awakened such interest that the onlook-
ers We're ten and twelve deep on each
side of the passage. Down the lane
walked continuous column of veterans,
sometimes four abreast, nearly all
wearied by long train rides, but appar-
emily all happy to again reach the Ma

Camp Matthew G. Emery was the
mecca yesterday for the thousands of
veterans who already have arrived for
the encampment. All day the boys who
wore the blue back in 81 and '65 passed
in a steady stream past the registration
booths. and when DR.. H. A. Johnson
and his corps of Pension Office clerks
and High School Cadets ceased their
labors at o'clock more than 1000 visit
ing soldiers had been tagged and cards
giving their home and Washington al

crans and Boy Scouts, ana directed to
treir destinations.
Every unit in the organization at
Camp Emery ran like clockwork yes
terday. A feature of the Boy Scout
service. which is giving satisfaction,
is that of the bicycle corps of about
fifty youngsters who act as messen-
gers.
Evidently the veterans have not for
gotten the services rendered by the
Scouts at the Gettysburg reunion in
1913. for when the soldier visitors
were approached by the Scouts at the
station, they shook hands with the
boys. patted them on the back, gave
up their luggage, and were willingly
directed to their Washington address.
Those of the, veterans who reached
the city Saturday or early yesterday
lost no time in going over the city.
Most of them seemed to be surprised
at the beauty and size of Washing

meeting to aid in securing the du
Pont boulevard through that town,
went to Georgetown on Friday and
interviewed General T. Coleman
du Pont, and inspected some Of the
completed sections of the road.

the road, no better than which can
be found in the United States in
their opinion. The stretch of road
from Georgetown to Millsboro has
been graded and a considerable
portion has been given the rein
forced concrete top. This road
has not bend in it for it's entire
nine miles of length.
The committee of Milford citi-
zens learned that the right of way
was practically assured as far
north as Glendale, and is of the
opinion that it can secure the right
as far north as Milford. General
dupont stated to the committee
that as soon as the deeds to the
right of way are secured he would
start immediate operations. "The
sooner the better" he expressed
it. The committee left feeling
much encouraged in that Milford
would have the road.

few weeks ago, received letter
from General dupont in which hi
stated his willingness to star
