ID CONVENTION
 DATE SELECTED
Greatest Gathering of War yeterans Since 1918 Ex-
 pected June 25.2S

GpFingfield, Mass, June g.. Based on advance registrations, the forthcoming annual National con- vention of the 26th (Yankee) Di- vision Veterans Association from June 25 to 2e inclusive, will set a new attendance record according to Roswell '. Patch, chairman of Reg istration Committee, and Conven- ton Corporation Secretary.
 Preparations are being made by Dennis J. Brunton, corporation chairman and his associates to care for and entertain the army of del- egates when the convention and reunion opens June 25.
 Much of the interest in this years reunion is accounted for by the fact that the 26th Division, A. E. F., was called into service 25 years ago and left for duty overseas in Au- gust and September, 1917. Another reason is because Yankee Division Veterans everywhere, either as members of the several chapters of the national divisional association or in connection with other veteran organizations are active in civilian defense. Further coordination of these activities and other measures incidental to prosecution of the war are included in the call of conven- tion business, regarded as one of the most important since the orig inal division was discharged from service after IS months overseas at Camp Devens in April, 1919.
 The convention program itself is attractive, both for YDVA members and those of the Auxiliary. Thurs day, June 25, will be devoted to reg istration of delegates and Q theatri- cal presentation by stars of stage and screen in Springfield Auditori- um Thursday night. Friday will be devoted to convention sessions, a clambake at Riverside Park in the afternoon, horribles parade at night and a military ball for which Vin- cent Lopez and his orchestra will play.
 Officers will be elected Saturday morning and there will be a short parade in the afternoon. Sunday morning the convention will close with Q service in Forest Park con- ducted by Rev. George s. L. Con- nor of Springfield, wartime chap lain Of the l0lst Headquarters Train and Military Police. Reunion din- ners, drum corps competition and other events are scheduled also.
