see how Congress could have been so
gullible as to put through such legis-
lation on the word of some women.
I'm department commander and
should have been consulted"
"It would be fine thing" said Fred
w. Mixer, 80, of 724 Taylor street,
"but we can't take care of them. The
marvel Is how they got that $4,000
appropriation through Congress. And
no one knew about it. They didn't
consult U.s."
The assistant adjutant general Of
the department, Eliasaph D. Godfrey,
1411 Monroe street. who will be 80
years old in January, also was en-
phatic In his answer. His reply as to
whether he wanted the @. A. r. con-
vention held here in 1896 was:
mo! We're not able and haven't
the money. I see in the general order
for the Grand Rapids. Mich, conven-
ton next month there are nine COM
mittees. We only have a few active
men. Not nearly enough to handle
the work"
Only ID. C. Representative.
william F. Dorsey. 81. youngest Of
the soldiers, will be Washington's only
representative at the Grand Rapids
convention. He lives at 1922 Twentieth
street northeast.
IF called on" Mr.. Dorsey said, 81
will explain our position. We just
couldn't have the convention in Wash
ington, the outstanding reasons being
lack Of finances and men to work.
Our department has only about four
active men. We hold our meetings at
the home of Mrs. Karl Pomeroy Nc
Elroy, 1912 Sixteenth street. She's an
honorary member Of Kit Carson Post.
1T isn't what we'd like" John T.
Ryan, junior vice commander, de-
clared; The fact is we're too few and
financially unable to support con-
vention here" Mr.. Ryan lives at 759
Seventh street southeast.
There are three G. A. r. posts in
the Department of the Potomac, 1t

the only active one. 1t has II men,

THE Department of the Potomac,

poll of its active members revealed
today.
The Union veterans contend the
District department is unable physi-
cally or financially to undertake play

thermore, they said they could not
understand why Congress appropriat-
ed $4,000 for public order arrange
mentS they in no way desired.
There are only four or five physi-
cally able veterans here. it was point
ed out, and no available funds. The
appropriation by Congress, which they
knew nothing of until the bill provid-
ing such was signed by the President,
is for police protection and public
