Instead OF mammoth camps, neces-
sary years ago to accommodate the
thousands of soldiers, Columbus to-
day was throwing open its homes to
the .ciyil war veterans who began
pouring into the city on every train.
The camps are not needed. There
were 100000 veterans in the city
then. Now thre will he not more
than . tenth of that number. In
stead iof the numerous band stands
along High street, first aid stations
have been erected to care for the
aged Veterans who may succumb to
the strenuous activities of the par
ade to be held next Wednesday.
In 1888, the march was nearly
three miles in length. Next week 8
line Of march will cover only very
short distance, probably less than a
mile There will be thousands who
WILL not march with their comrades.
SFecial reviewing stands have been
erected for them.
Time has marched on in thirty
one ysars, and many thousands of
soldiefsss have: dropped, from. the
ranks. y
For the first time in the history OF
G. A. r. encampments, other mill
tary organizations will take part.
Thousands of Spanish War and
World War veterans will march with
the civil war heroes. The younger
blood Of America will take over the
more strenuous duties of the civil
warriors with a zeal born of victory.
Former Governor James A. Camp
bell, director general of the encamp-
ment, has been assured that nearly
every post of the American Legion
in Ohio will take part in the parade.

Mo-, Sept. 6.-Entering real enemy
territory, the home of Senator Reed,
one of the most bitter opponents OF
the league Of nations, President Will
son today received q tremendous
ovation when he stepped upon the
platform to make his appeal. The
uproar, when he appeared on the
platform, equalled that at St. Louis
last night.
The president paid scarcely any
attention to the applause, merely
family smiling at particularly loud
outburst Practically every one of
the thousands in the hall waved, and
the president smiled.
"Treaty opponents, who view the
document with jaundiced eyes, who
are against it because they have
some private purpose, will be at last
gibbeted," asserted the president,
bet is SO high"
The president reiterated that it
was a case of put up or shut up"
that the opponents would have to
product something better. than the
league of nations or step aside.
Mere negotiations to correct,
without offering anything construc-
tive to replace the treaty is Bolshe-
vikism," he declared. . .r....<: - +4S1

Mr.. Kaplan has enlarged his plans
on the building, now in the course of
construction at the intersection OF
Second street and Minnesota avenue.
He has also purchased the adjoining
so feet, with depth of 14O feet, to
. the east and will erect brick stor-
age house, to extend part way up
the present structure. The roof Is
to be specially constructed to afford
a sort of recreation spot for the ten
ants of the building.
The scarcity of homes and even
rooms in Bemidji prompted Mr.. Kap-
Ian to reach his decision to build and
he is confident his judgment will be
correct.
