Blue AND THE GRAY MEN
FRA7ERN|E IN CAPITAL
Dedication Of Arlington Memorial
Amphitheater in 1917 to Be
Occasion.

old-time foes in blue and gray. now
are to fraternize in the National Capt.
tai in 1917. it Is believed. It is ex-
pected that they will meet at the dedi-
cation of tho memorial amphitheatel
to the nations dead in the Arlington
national cemetery.
Invitation to the Confedsrates to hold
their annual reunion and encampment
here in 1917 was decided upon with
acclaim at a reunion Of the veterans
Of the I'd Army Corps Association held
last evening. The date 1917 was de-
cided upon because the Confederate
Veterans Association had already set
tied upon the location of their encamp-
ment in 1915. The idea Of having old
foes gather together hero at the dedi-
cation of the Arlington memorial
amphitheater. which is expected to be
completed March !. 1917. also appealed
Col. Hilary A. Herbert, former COM
mander Of the 9Th Alabama Infantry.
past commander in chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, and former Sec
rotary of the Navy. who, with Lieut.:
honor of the I'd Corps at it's national re-
union, Is to be the official bearer of the
message Of the boys in blue to the boys
In gray. He promised his former foes
to see, to it that the Confederates came
to Washington.
The reunion of the "a Corps Assoc
citation. one Of the last Of the re-
union week., was held in corps head
quarters at Camp Matthew G. Emery
last night. and practically sounded
the week, as 1t was the last Of three
meetings held in the camp to adjourn.
Gen. Miles Speaks.
Gen. Miles. the only surviving COM
mander of the I'd Corps, was the prin-
cipal speaker. and Col. Myron M. Par
ker presided. Gen. Miles took occasion
to give unstinted praise to the men Of
the Confederacy as well as the Union
veterans. In the ranks Of both armies.
he declared, were men Of wonderful
ability-ability that has since been
recognized by the choice Of these men
to high places in the nation.
Col. Herbert's introduction by Col
Parker was received with cheers by
the veterans. The distinguished ex-
Confederate paid a touching tribute to
the men who had followed the Stars
and Bars during the war and referred
in a feeling manner to the great good
that comes Of the fraternizing of the
veterans of the two armies that were
once foes. but because of that very fact
are now the best of friends. The field
Of battle, he said, was ono Of the great
est places in the world to gauge the re-
spect in which a man must be held by
his neighbors, and there can be no de-
NAL of the fact that the respect of the
men Of the north and the men Of the
south for each other considerably in
creased as a result of their clashes in
arms.

Active in G. A. R. Work.

His activity in the Grand Army or
ganization has been unusual. He was
elected department commander In 1907
and 1908. being the only one called to
this Office for second time in Ken
lucky. His reelection was not of his
own seeking. but because of the ex-
traordinary work which he had done
for the department. During his service
he visited every post in the state. and
the majority of them a second time.
Through his personal efforts fourteen
new posts were chartered and several
others reclaimed. For many years pre-
vious the membership in the depart
ment had diminished, but during the
time that he was commander it was
largely increased. Most Of the time
since the termination Of that office no
has served as assistant adjutant gen
eral. In several cases his services in
that capacity have received emphatic
recognition from national headquarters.

! The contest for COMMANDMENTS chief
Cole of Jersey City, n. j., and William
]. Patterson of Pittsburgh, Pa With
the solid support of the New York dele
cation the friends of Cole thought he
had something better than hghting
chance to win. In the hope of strength
ening his candidacy the New Jersey
delegates withdrew their request that
they be given the next convention at
Atlantic City, which they had been
practically assured, feeling that the
encampment would be reluctant to
grant them both the encampment city
and the Communicated chief.
The early voting stood Monfort, 539;
Patterson, 231, and Cole. 1SS. This
made a total of 95s votes out of the
accredited strength of 1886. When the
balloting for more than an hour in
executive session showed that neither
of the contestants could break the
strength of Monfort's following they
withdrew and made the election
unanimous.
Washington Man In Second Place.
George H. Slaybaugh of Washington
was unanimously elected as the can
didate of the Department of Potomac.
The Office is usually given to the en-
tertaining department. This practice
will, however, not be followed in the
future. as the encampment accepted a
proposition brought forward by Corp.
James Tanner that hereafter moro at
tention should be devoted to this office.
as the incumbent may at any time be
called upon to fill the chief Office. which
is likely to be vacated through death
as the veterans grow older.
