vania avenue and pass In parade be
fore President Wilson and members OF
his cabinet. 1t win be the last time
the veterans will march In Washing
ton and the last time that hundreds of
them will ever again attend an IN
campment. as the aged men are fast
passing away.
The Grand Army, which survived
four years of campaigns and never sur
rendered, will soon have to lower its
standards, defeated by time, the only
enemy able to vanquish the veterans.
Because OF the increasing death rate
and the feebleness of the survivors of
the great war 1t Is probable that the
Grand Army will never again hold a
great encampment after the Washing
ton event. As this gathering is the last
In which many of them will partici-
pate and as the anniversary of the
grand review Is of such historic sig
nificance to them and the country, they
will make great efforts to be In Wash
lngton In September. The encampment
will therefore be the largest and most
successful everheld by the organization
The navy department will have a
6eet of torpedo boat destroyers, sub
marines, gunboats and a cruiser de-
tached from tho Atlantic fleet and sent
up the Potomac river to Washington,
where the ships will remain during the
encampment. A big feature will be
campfires, at which will be held re-
unions OF the various corps OF the IN
ion armies.
Just below Washington, on the Pc
tomac, is located Indian Head proving
ground, where big guns for the navy
or Notifications are tested before be-
ing placed on battleships or In our

itors will have an opportunity to see

as scores of other places of interest in

During encampment week %opportuni-
ty will be afforded the veterans to re-
visit Bull Run, Antietam, Appomattox
and other celebrated battlefields.
At the last G. A. r.. encampment held
here in 1902 it was estimated by the
railroads that about 10000 persons at

that because Of the u~niqueness of this

TO END COMMUNICATING.
Prisoner Offers to Make Money Safe
In Return For Liberty.


If the claims of Peter Feldkamp, now
a prisoner in the Wayne county (Mich.)
Jail under a seventeen year sentence
to Fort Leayenworth for counterfeit
Ing, are correct, he may be the means
of revolutionizing the entire issue of
United States paper money.
Feldkamp wrote to Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo Offering in exchange
for his liberty and q job with the treas
ury department a chemical secret he
had discovered which. according to
him, will make counterfeiting impos-
sible.
Feldkamp Is a photographer and an
amateur chemist of no slight attain
ments. While experimenting in raising
n dollar bills to ten dollar ones he
stumbled ON his process. which since
his arrest. he asserts, he has perfected.
Feldkamp's process so colors the bill

halts evildoers from making even the

would still be up against a stone wall.

That the Washington authorities are
taking Feldkamp's assertions seriously
Is shown by the fact that James Sloan.
head of the treasury department at De
troit, has been instructed to interview
Feldkamp.
