And there will be no decrease, say the

BY United Press. f
Atlanta, Ga, seA@ 2-More than
one hundred thousand people from
every part of the nation are expected
to attend the twenty-fourth annual
reunion of United Confederate Vet
Grams in Atlanta October Z 8, and
TO-
For several reasons, the reunion
will be the nose significant these
grand old men of the south have
known since they furled their tat
tered banner more than half CEN
tury ago. For one thing, 1t is the
first reunion since the world war
and it will be in the nature or big
peace jubilee For another, it may
be the last time the soldiers who
followed Lee and Jackson raise their
voices together in the rebel yell"
for the number is growing smaller
every year, the veterans are getting
less and less able to travel and an
other twelve month may see the re-
union custom ended.
For still third reason, the reunion
will be unwontedly big because the
United States government is grant
ing a cheap rate on tie railroads of
Cne cent mile. This rate may be
secured both going and coming by
anyone who presents a certificate
showing his official connection with
the reunion, whether he be yeter
an, a relative of a veteran member
of tn Sons Of Confederate Veterans
or other organization associated with
the reunion.
The Sons of Veterans and the Con
federate Memorial association, found
ed by the women of the south in
1865, will hold their conventions
jointly with the reunion, thus adding
to the size of the crowd and the bril-
lance of the occasion
All visitors to Atlanta will be en-
tertained royalty. The people OF
the Georgia capital have subscribed
a fund of 100000 to finance the balls,
che parade and other functions of the
reunion. The veterans themselves
will be cared for in the homes of
the people At some reunions they
have had to sleep in tents and many
cf them suffered from cold and wet
Nothing Of the kind will happen in
Atlanta. Already hundreds of At
lantians have volunteered to take
one or more veterans as their guests
during the reunion and campaign
will be launched next week to Sc
cure homes for 10000 or more veter-,
ans At the same time, a canvass of
the city will be made to secure ac-
comodations for other visitors. TheI
hotels will increase eheir accomoda |
tions and have pledged themselves
not to raise their rates. Boarding
houses and private homes where
guests will be Accommodated will bel
tabulated, so that the minute a visi-
tor arrives he will be informed byI
the reception committee exactly
where he will find home" awaiting
him.
While the veterans will be enter
tanned in the homes of the people |
at tn same time they will have
camp of their own where they can
assemble for lunch and supper and
