The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1917-05-24

DR.. James Hamilton, Maj. r. M.
Woods and IL others.
The makers of the G. A. r., it APP
pears, adopted, in part, the title of
officers" and the general organization
of the Loyal Legion of the United
States, the essential difference in
herring in the terms of eligibility to
Office, the Loyal Legion restricting
membership of the first class to Off
GERS.
The plan of organization embraced,
first, the formation of precincts, called
posts; second, county unions, called
districts; third, state associations,
known as departments, and the ma
tional organization formed originally
of two delegates from each depart
ment.
The declaration of principles, clear
statement of the fraternal, patriotic
and charitable purpose Of the new or
ganization, was introduced by para
graph in high-sounding and rounded
phraseolOgy after the style of the
times, as follows:
uT HE soldiers of the Volunteer
Army of the United States dur
ing the war of 1S61-1S65 actuated by
the impulse and convictions of pa
triotism and eternal right; combined
in the strong bonds of fellowship and
unity by the tolls, the dangers and
the victories of long and vigorously
waged war, feel themselves called on
| to declare in definite form of words,
and in determined cooperative ac-
ton, those principles and rules which
should guide the earnest patriot, the
| enlightened freeman and the Chris
tlan citizen in his course of action,
and to agree upon those plans and
laws which should govern them in a
united and systematic working meth
cd with which in some measure shall
be effected the preservation of the
grand results of the war, the fruits
of their labor and toll, so as to bene-
fit the deserving and worthy"
The Grand Army organization, it
appears, at first made little Roadway
In the various states. In two years but
thirteen states were permanently or
ganized, the order being Illinois, Wis
consin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, Maine, California, Nevada, Rhode
Island, New Hampshire and Vermont.
The chief cause of the slow progress
seemed to be that the soldiers had be-
come weary of organization in the in
effective clubs already referred to,
which had grown into popular disfavor,
and almost total disruption was threat
ened by the Indifference and opposition
of those who at first conceived the @.
A. X. to be some sort of secret SO.
ciety of partisan proclivities.
MANY wise heads, however, recog-
lvl nized the power for good in the or
ganization, and its future prosperity
was happily assured by the adoption
campment of 1863 that the purpose of
the G. A. II. is ito secure the rights
of these defenders of their country, by
all moral, social and political means in
our control"
Emphasis was appropriately placed
on the primary objects of the organi-
cation to maintain and strengthen the
fraternal feelings which bind together
the soldiers and marines of the Civil
war, to perpetuate the memory and
history of those who have died, and to
lend assistance to the needy and to
their widows and orphans, and all dis
tinctions of party, creed, rank or color
were eliminated.

retire in favor of the army men; con-
sequently clubs and societies of sol
diers and their supporters for the pro-
motion of their candidacy for positions
of trust and emOlument sprang up
everywhere. There was soon a great
host of organizations, among them the
Boys in Blue, Soldiers and Sailors
league, Conservative Army and Navy
Union, White Boys in Blue, Colored
Soldiers league-a vast mass of varied
tinted bodies of assorted minds, who
were destined to form the nucleus for
the all-embracing G. A. r.

TT WAS while upon the campaign
i of Sherman's expedition to Meridian,
Fla, in 1854, that Chaplain Rutledge
is said to have made the fruitful sug-
gestion to Major Stephenson that
soldiers so closely allied In fellow
ship of suffering would when mustered
out desire some form of association to
preserve the friendship and the, memo
ries Of their common trials and dan
gers"
The two friends agreed that If spared
they would work out together some
plan of allegiance to meet the need.
This suggestion and agreement proved
to be the germ of the Grand Army of
the Republic, the greatest and most
influential body of veterans in the
world. 1t was not until nearly year
after the grand muster out that Major
Stephenson and Chaplain Rutledge
met In Springfield and laid the founda-
ton plans for the new national order.
The work of Missouri organization
called the Grand Army of Progress
suggested the form of ritual which was
adopted and which was printed In
great secrecy.
FOURTEEN charter members of the
Il Grand Army participated In the
first conference, and united Is from
the first historic pioneer g. A. r..
post at Decatur, ILL.,, April 9, 1865.
These men were Col. John n. Snyder,

THE idea of the organization of the
I Grand Army of the Republic was
really conceived, however, before the
close of the war. The signer of the
first general order, calling the first
encampment in Indianapolis, Novem-
Der 20, 1866, carefully preserved in
the venerable general order book in
the Hall of Records at Philadelphia,
was Maj. Benjamin Franklin Stephen
son, provisional commander in chief
in 1866 and the founder of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Major Stephenson was a native of
Wayne county, Illinois, where he was
born in 1922. Reared in poverty, but
managing to wrest an education from
difficult conditions, he entered the
medical profession, graduating from
Rush Medical college, Chicago, in 1851,
and practicing in Petersburg, Ill. He
enlisted and served three years as sur
geon of the Fourteenth Illinois in
fantry and Immediately after the war
he resumed the practice of his profess
sion, locating at Springfield, Ill. Major
Stephenson during the war was close
ly associated with Chaplain William
Rutledge, Virginian by birth, resi-
dent of Illinois and Methodist preach
er, who was his terminate and bosom
companion.

the pulchritude that I saw yester- day, 1t is indeed a red letter day. I guess George thought was crazy because I raved 80 about them, but I didn't much care what he thought, as long as could enjoy myself in my usual verbose way.
 Examination
 Last Sunday I took an examina- tion for second class and made it, so I understand. I got high grades in the exam along my own line of work in the pay office, at least that is what I have been told, but in the examination dealing with general information about naval life, naval architecture, etc., I made a typical fool of myself. Some of the ques- tions were as follows:
 Which way do the propellers turn? Do they both turn the same way? Are they painted? ' How many boilers on this ship? How many cylinders in each of the engines?
 What are the advantages of an electrical driven ship? q had some ideas along this line from reading the Scientific American, so was able to putt up something of a spiel about the electrical drive versus the gear drive.)
 If a screw propelled ship is more efficient and more speedy than sidewheeler, why are the new ferries that the Santa Fe are build ing fer use in San Francisco Bay sidewheelers?
 Why do not other nations use cage mast?
 What is the blood temperature? Respiration? q hit those pretty close, as of course, l should.)
 How do you resuscitate a drown ing person after he has been res eued?
 Explain the reasons for a fore and aft arrangement of the stacks on the French cruisers.
 As had not had time to read LID on these or similar questions you can imagine how little knew about them. I feel that if but had the time to do some intensive studying, and reviewing of the sub jects that I had SO many years ago I might make something out of my self even in the navy, but with drills and work all day, and with no lights at night except when in port I barely get time to write these letters to you, and to keep up my log, such as it is.
