William E. Sternberg, adjutant of Stanley post, G. A. R., was the guest of honor Tuesday at Camp Hines, the wounded war veterans camp at Nian- tic. Immediately after lunch he was introduced to A. L. Maddock, director of the camp, and spoke briefly, com- pairing the soldiers of the present with those of his own day. Mir. Sternberg said that he believed that those of the present showed the effects of the teachings of the G. A. R. in helping to model the minds of children in the schools.
 After lunch he and Major-General Schultz, retired, witnessed a rare sight a baseball game played by crippled men. Although some the players had but one leg or one arm, they forgot about their disabilities, overcame them, and entered into the game with all the zest of physically sound men. General Schultz praised them, saying that in spite of their handicaps they were as happy a group of men as he had ever seen.
 Gas is the worst form Of disabll- ity," the general replied quickly to a question asked him. You can exam inc man all over, he looks perfectly healthy, yet. we have had men right here in this camp go down in heap with hemorrhagcs, and it is terrible sight. We have a doctor on duty con- stantly. day and night so I feel some- what safer to know that my boys are being taken care of as well as possible"
