| Through an fnadvertence 1t was IN :
nounced last Sunday that William -
| Cushing Camp, No. so. division OF Mary
land. Sons of Veterans. L. s. A, had al
ready held its final meeting of the sea
| con Jr ia desired to correct this error
hv stating that 1t is the intention Of the
! members OF William B. Gushing Camp
| at the present time to hold meetings OF
| the camp during all the summer months,
inasmuch as the regular meeting occurs
/. but twice q month, tho first ana tai.o
! Thursdays and there is considerable
! work to be done, especially IN connec-
| ton with the preparations now under
| way for the national encampment next
September.
There is much speculation among the
Sons of Veterans in washington as To
! who viii be elected division command
| er at the coming encampment OF the
division of Maryland, to be held at
Hagerstown June IA and IS. There seem
| to be very few candidates In the held-
| 1t is the contention of the Washlns.oh
members of the order that lnasmuch
as the national encampment OF the sons
| will be held here this year, the man IN
command of this jurisdiction should be
| 8 Washingtonian, with headquarters on
the spot 1t looks very much now IS
though the name Of Victor l.. Garrtsus
will be agreed upon by the Washington
delegates, as his camp, Lincoln, No. z,
at its last meeting, Monday night, IN
structed its delegates to vote for him
and the chances are that the remaining
camps In Washington will fall In line
Mr.. Garrigus Is a past camp command
er and has q great many 1riends NOT
only among the members OF the order
, in Washington but throughout the en-
| tire Maryland division, There will,
however, probably be two candidates
from Baltimore.
Two members Of each camp of Sons
Of Veterans In Washington were deStg-
! mated by the Grand Army officials hav-
ing In charge the exercises held last
Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan
Presbyterian Church. to act as ushers.
Gurnon r. Scott of Cushing Camp was

division encanpnent at Hagerstown
