HOUSING OF VETERANS
NOW Seems ASSURED
Plans Upset by War. Now Efforts
Promise Record Reunion.

Plans for the twenty-seventh annual
reunion of the United Confederate Vet
Grams. and the twenty-second annual
reunion of Sons Of Veterans, are being
pushed with renewed vigor after the
hitch that threatened to make the hous-
ing and entertainment Of the veterans
and sons a serious problem.
Two armories assured and a consign-
ment OF tents now at Gettysburg may
offer a solution. Col. Robert N. Harper.
chairman Of the reunion committee, Is on
the lookout for buildings with the con-
veniences necessary for the entertain
ment of the Southern veterans who will
storm the gates of Washington June 4.
The parade Of the men in gray will
take place Thursday morning. June Z, at
II o'clock. 1t Is the belief Of Chairman
Harper that the war enthusiasm will
serve to stimulate patriotism and greatly
increase the attendance from all sections
of the country. Under direction of Gen.
George P. Harrison business sessions will
be held on June & 6 and T.
Chairman H. F. Cary, of the finance
committee, Is acknowledging receipt Of
