Few Survivors of
Men Who Marched
in Youths Vigor

Sixty-seven years ago valiant and
victorious army marched In the hey
day of its youth along the broad
stretches Of Pennsylvania avenue In
Washington.
That was the beginning Of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Following the fall of Richmond and
Lees surrender at Appomattox the
yictors came to the Capital of the
Nation, there to be reviewed by the
President of the United States, John
]. DAILY writes, in the Washington
Post. Figures vary as to the number
of men who marched in that historic
parade-a procession that took fully
three days in the passing, according
to some who witnessed it. Others
say the parade was over in day.
that stragglers came into town the
day after the parade and carried on
the Marcia gathering of uniformed
men that undoubtedly numbered
somewhere near 10000.
Men? They were boys, most Of
them, and they marched with a song
on their lips-a certain satisfaction
in their souls. After this demonstra-
ton they did what most returning
warriors have done from time i'm
memorial-turned their attention to
the pursuits of peace, to the prosaic
tasks of making a living"
Now, 81 years after that cele-
brated parade In Washington, the
survivors of that grand old army
gather in little groups throughout the
land to make preparations for the
proper observance Of Memorial day
Decoration day, as some call 1t.
They are going out to the federal
cemeteries that dot the land here,
there. and place flags and flowers on
the resting places of their comrades.
The two great ceremonies are al
Gettysburg, Pa, and at the National
Memorial cemetery at Arlington, Va.
At Gettysburg, the President of
the United States delivers the prin.
cipal address.
At Arlington, Va, where rest in one
grave more than 1000 unknown sol.
diers Of the Civil Confederate
and Union--the ceremonies are In
charge of the Department of the Po-
tomac, a branch of the Grand Army
OF the Republic that has numbered
amongst its ranks the great and out
standing names of Union soldiery.
Sixty-seven years ago they were
young men. boys in the prime of life
land now they totter into their
meeting halls to recall those glorious
days of old; when they were the
heroes of the hour.
So few remain, 1t is not easy to
visualize what the immutable work
ings of time have done to the G. A. r.
Bodies bent and broken, that old
spirit still surviyes-and will, too,
till the last man only remains; to
turn out. some day. all by himself,
and lay wreath and hoist the flag
over all his dead comrades.

Conflict
m THE darkness Of that unhappy

N THE darkness Of that unhappy
night of devastation, the last night
of the World war, the old fighting

teries from the eastern shore, and
threw the Three Hundred and Fifty
Third infantry, the Sunflower regiment,
on into enemy land. Up the gentle

Inc morning wore on. F1ghting
men went down, never to rise again.
Others clawed the brown grass and
soil in agony from wounds they will
carry until the sunset day of life.
But still the Americans pressed on.
And then came the first order of
change, from the commanding officer,
watch in hand, Of battery Of the
''heavies" miles in the rear, "Cease

had transferred itself to the fussy 75s.
Then came II o'clock and silence!

Billion Acres SURVEYED

Nearly a billion acres of farm lands
in the United States have been
mapped by soil surveyors of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
This area is greater than the COM
bined area of European Germany,
France, and Great Britain. The work
is now progressing at the rate of
more than 100000 acres each year,
and department officials estimate that
between 20 and 80 years will be re-
quired to complete the survey. The
cost of this work is between 2 and 3
cents an acre.

Birth of C. A. R.

The first post was organized at De
catur, ILL.,, April 6, 1866, but the men,
bership was slow in growing and
there were in 1879 only about $4,000
enrolled. From then until 1890,
though, the numbers steadily in
creased and In the latter year there
were 409,4S9 members. Ten years
later death had cut the roll to 277,O00
and ny 1910 to 100000.

Covered Bridges Going

The covered bridge is fast disap.

is estimated at least 1000 of the pic

been supplanted by other bridges
within the past four years. Much of
the reconstruction was necessitated
by the floods of 1927.

DROUGHT RECOVERY
IN VIRGINIA SEEN
U. S. Geological Survey Says
Soil Is RepIenished
With Water.

Recovery of the 1880 drought-stricken
ground water supply in Arlington and
Fairfax Counties in Virginia was fore
cast today by Interior Department off,
ciais following observations made on
well in Arlington County, on which an
automatic recorocr has been maintained
by the United States Geological Survey
in cooperation with the Virginia
Geological Survey.
Since the Summer of 1890 practi-.
cally all of the wells and small streams
In these two counties have been prac-
ticaliy inactive. Water has been sup
piled families dependent on their we'll
supply by tank trucks manned by SOL
diers stationed at Fort Myer.
Well Replenished.
Government officials said today the
observations show that at the we'll site
the Winter repleniShment of the
ground-water supply began about jan
uary / and that by January 16 the
water level in the well had risen about
seven inches.
1t was pointed out that this early day
for the beginning of the Winter re-
plenishment indicates that if the rain
fall is fairly abundant in the next three
months the existing deficit in the sup
ply will largely be removed and the
wells, springs and streams will be re-
stored to approximately their condition
before the drought.
officials explained that as a rule
there is little 0r no repleniShment of
the ground-water supply during the
Summer and Autumn, because vegeta-
ton makes such heavy demands on the
soil moisture that the water derived
from rains seldom gets past the root
dormaE- hswever, each rain increases
the supply uEttl the soil contains all
the moisture that it can hold, and
thereafter The rain water that seeps
into the scu percolstes downward to
the water tas:le, or upper surface of
the zone of Gzturation. This is the
water that subsequently issues from
springs or supplies wells.
Records show that in the Winter of
i928-29 replenishment of the ground
water supply began late in January; in
the Winter of l929-30 it began about
the middle of January, and in the Win
ter of l930-3l it did not begin until the
end of March The Winter replenish-
ment raised the ground-water table
somewhat over two feet in ls98-29 and
over two feet in 1929-30, but 'ess than
one foot in 1930-31, accorGfig to OBJ
servations made at the Government
well, and as the result officials said the
record indicates that the prospects are
good for considerable replenishment
this year"
At Low Point in March.
It was said at the department that
on account of the great drawdown
caused by the drought of 1880 the
water table at the well site dropped
to very low stage last Winter and
reached its greatest depression in
March, 1881 Last Summer, however,
was considered by officials as being
unusually favorable for repleniShment
and there was small net rise in the
wells water table, which was in strik
ing contrast to the decline of about
3 feet in the Summer of 1880.
OficialS said they noted last Sum-
mer that there was more replenishment
at their observation well than at sew
eral other wells in Arlington and Fair
fax Counties in which measurements Of
the water level was made.

GRAND JURY TO PROBE
SHOOTING OF OFFICER
Alleged Gunman and Companion,
Thwarted in Robbery, Held
at Hearing.

John Kendrick. who Is said to have
shot and seriously wounded Policeman
T. D. Bacon when he thwarted an at
tempted robbery week ago, and Harry

held for grand jury action following
hearing in Police Court yesterday.

years ago from New Jersey Jail, held
without bond and offered Yudelevit his
release under s25, ZOO bail.
Policeman Bacon, assigned to the
first precinct, and Charles Flanagan, a
night watchman, surprised Kendrick
and man, identified as Yudelevit, at
the door Of store on street near
Seventh last Thursday night.
They said they saw two men get out
of car and walk down the street
toward the store. The officer became
suspicious and began casual search of
the machine. An automobile shotgun
was found in the front seat, which
Bacon promptly hid.
When the officer returned to the
machine, he said the men met him with
drawn pistols. In an ensuing scuffle,
Bacon was shot in the leg and foot by
kendrick. Bacon held on to Kendrick
until help arrived, but the other man
escaped. Yudelevit was subsequently
apprehended and picked out of po-
lice lineup by witnesses as Kendrick' S
companion
According to police, Kendrick is also
known as John Murphy, John O'Brien
and John L. Lee.
