Crawfordsville, Ind., was named sur
geon general, and J. King Gibson
of Dayton, Ohio, was re-elected chap

•’See you next year in Grand Rap
ids,” was the farewell that echoed as
the warriors of the ’60 s set their
laltering steps homeward. They had
hoped that Washington, D. C„ would
be their convention city next year, but
word they awaited from President

there was not forthcoming. It had

action was outside the President's

quartermaster general. Samuel P.
Town, Philadelphia; judge advocate

son, Louisville, Ky.; national patriotic
Instructor, Henry Davidson, Spring
field, 111.; assistant adjutant general,
James H. Campbell, Chicago, and sen
ior aide de camp, John C. Mullins,
Brooklyn.
The veterans In their closing reso
lutions denounced the teaching of
“communistic propaganda” in private
■chools. They also called for a halt
in the practice of referring to the Civil
War as the War between the States,
citing a tendency in the South to give
It that appelation.
nuoicu ijicvi v/iutci9i

vision of the pension laws for vet
erans of the Civil War and concluded
with the election of Mrs. Grance L.
