s r THE COURIER have arranged to receive the visitlog lady organizations affiliated with the veterans. Washington will strain points to accommodate the ladies as well as their fathers, brothers and sons who are with them. There will be decorated on the occa sion of this thirty-sixth reunion, the corner stone of the memorial bridge to connect Arlington .with the city. Many are the disappointed ones who hoped to see the bridge this time, for next year tbey may not be here indeed, many certainly will not Well they will know at all events that soon the wayfarer may walk dryshod from the sleeping place of the defenders to the beautiful city that they fought to pro tect. It Is well to state, perhaps, that the reunion committee will have Its head quarters on the Monument lot. ONE OF THE OLD GUARD.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. Under most unusual conditions the thirty-sixth an nual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic opens In the nation's capital on Sunday evening October 5 th. Religious services in all' the churches will usher in the entertainment ten 4ered to the veterans. Washington ted the G. A. R. ten years ago, on which occasion the sum of 170,000 was expended for free quarters alone; this tteie the total subscribed is far less than that amount. The thinning ranks of the wasted old Boys in Blue My possibly find the reduced appro ptaUon not Insufficient. And yet, thln Blng and thinner as those ranks are, they are an Order of Merit In the Republic whose membership and patronage include the highest worthy of all our dtteen- CeaHaaader-ln-Chlef 31 Torrance wffl be escorted at the head of the Amy parade, Wednesday, Oc t, by a guard of 900 mounted lviHaM vader the lead .of, W.

The famous fighting wtt be seen for the first time tk jtrsets WasWagton. The real work of the encampment will begin on Tuesday the 7th, with a parade of about ten thousand made up of regular soldiers and sailors of the civil war and of today, visiting organ izations, sons of veterans, army and navy, revenue cutter service and oth er branches of the various services. The president is expected to be re covered in time for this parade, by far the most impressive object lesson that national life affords the broken but still heroic old tar who fought with Farragut, shoulder to shoulder with the clean-limbed, broad-chested fight ers of the modern battleship; troops from Fort Myer and empty sleeves from the soldiers' home those who did defend, and those who are ready with fearful machines to defend, Columbia In her hour of need the one going, the other coming one whose work is today, the other a nation's pride be cause he has done his work welL To say that Washington will be en fete to welcome the G. A. R. very tamely expresses it. The court of honor all that part of the city be tween Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets, will be devoted to reviewing stands, for the president and Invited guests and for the Grand Army and their invited -guests. The Rochambeau and Lafayette stat ues will not be hidden by any of the structures In the court; and a very fine vista will extend from the square of stands straight up to the White House through Sixteenth street past the Jackson monument. Standing with old-world, old-time stately dignity the figures 'Of our nation's early friends will tower somewhat approvingly over the bared heads of the bowed, the griz zled and the maimed who have made those friends' efforts worth while. The grand parade of Wednesday witl dis band at Seventeenth street after pass ing up that street a little way beyond the reviewing square. Then the veterans will be left to themselves and their friends. There will be fireworks at the monument, .flo tillas on the Potomac; camp fires be ginning with he rousing biff one that opens things wide on Monday night Comrades of distinction will address large crowds. All the old tunes will stir the blood of the veterans and the populace. The old boys will sing some that were once a terror to the foe and now a terrible memory of havoc, slaughter and destruction. It Is announced that on October , Camp Roosevelt will be formally opened on the White lot The old sol diers will convene here. Secretary John Hay will deliver the oration of the day.
