 Mir. Norris dropped in for a few minutes Tuesday and gave us the fol- lowing brief account of their trip:
 "The crowd of visitors and the num- Der of old soldiers was entirely too big for us to give guess at, but we had the pleasure of seeing and hearing President Wilson, visited the halls of Congress and viewed that body while in session, saw Miss Rankin, the lady Congresswoman from Montana. visited the south wing of the White House, | placed our hands on the presidents S chair, ascended to the top of Washing tons monument, which is 555 feet high and viewed the city of Washington and saw the ships coming and going on the Potomac river.
 We met our Congressman, J. N Tillman, whose son showed us many courtesies in going with us to the various places of interest.
 We saw 5000 soldier boys on their way from the border to New York; from there they said they did not know where they would be sent Washing ton was full of soldiers. Such a world of men! Looked like soldiers enough to us for anything, were in the parade The boy scouts formed an impressive part in the parade
 Taking into consideration every thing the reunion was splendid success Il was understood by all the visitors that the presidents time was too pre- cious at these perilous times to give much attention to us. We were well fed and had connexions sleeping quarters. Several thousands were cared for in tents, which were provid- ed with cots. 800 had sleeping quar- ters In one big building. The num- Der of visitors was far beyond what the people of Washington had expected, however we were cared for nicely''
