Corraspondence of the Associated Press. LEAVENWORTH, Kans.—Blue and gray uniforms of the Civil War are fast fading into khakl at gthe Na- tional Soldiers’ Home near here, and not many years hence there will be no one to recount vivid stories of Sherman’s march to the sea or of the Confederate sweep up the Potomac. Ten years ago there were 3,329 Civil War veterans cared for at the home, 583 Spanish-American, 201 In- dian campaigners and provisional army men, and seven Mexican War veterans. In 1926 only 1,281 Civil War vet- erans were cared for, while 1,478 Spanish-American War veterans and 1,219 World War ve!era(ns recelved attention. The proportion of Civil War men is fast declining, and when the griz- zied veterans of '61 gather on the broad lawn of the home to talk over the stirring events of those stirring times they encounter allen references to San Juan Hill, Belleau Wood or the Argonne. pes Staunton Man Dies at 91.
