VETERANS AGAIN
HOLD GRAND REVIEW
Retraced Steps of Fifty Years Ago at
National Capital When Last Gun
Had Been Fired.

Washington.-Th of veter-
ans of the Union army are here for the
10th annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic this week.
Fifty years after the last shot was
fired survivors of the Union host that
marched in review from the capital

steps here Wednesday.
In the court of honor where Presi-
dent Johnson stood September 20, 1865
President Wilson stood to greet the
remnant of the victorious armies Of
Grant and Sherman.
Pennsylvania avenue, through which
the military pageant passed, was wall
ed with the national colors and flags
fluttered from windows and house
tops.
1t is thought 10000 veterans, many
of them survivors of the 100000 who
1865, were present. Preparations for
entertaining 100000 visitors were
made. On the opening day of the en-
campment various informal receptions
were held and much of the time given
over to registration under a system
whereby veterans can easily find old
comrades.
President Wilson attended the first
formal reception in huge auditorium
adapted for the purpose in the old
census building, near the capitol, that
also contains headquarters of the var
ious departments and army court of
the Grand Army and allied organiza-
lions during the encampment. The
following day the military review was
held
General Nelson A. Miles acted as
marshal of the review, taking the
place of General Shermap occupied in
1865. Needless to say David ]. Pal
mer, commander-in-chief of the G. A.
r., and staff were in attendance.
