convention at Omaha, and the cOnl-

necessary details.
The convention according to the
committee, is to be ''the occasion Of a
great national pilgrimage to our for
eign cemeteries, the last resting place
of approximately 10000 of our own
comrades, and to the battlefields where
they fought and died. and where hun
