Civil war veterans believe that the coming encampment in Detroit, com- mencing August 31, will be the largest national gathering in the history of the organization. Detrgit in the first place is centrally located, it is argued; sec- ondly, many of the veterans who were here 23 years ago in national encamp- ment have been clamoring for a re- turn date for the past 12 years, so im- pressed with the reception and the city were they upon tMeir previous visit. 40,000 veterans are expected, and their wives and families and friend will swell the number of visitors up to mearly 100,000. ‘The city itself is the hostess, the funds for the affair having been raised by taxation, every taxpayer thus hav- ing a share in the plans and a finan- cial interest in everything that is done. The coty through the committees, 20, numbering nearly 200 of the biggest and busiest men in-the city, is leaving little of the work for the citizens as a whole to do. The officlal program copyrighted by the committee, will be ready for dis- tribution within a few days and 30,000 will be sent to the posts of the coun- try, About 45,000 will be reserved for free distribution during encampment ‘week. In previous years the program has not been ready for the week of the encampment; meanwhile dozens of alleged official programs have been put in circulation by advertising schemers, and sold to visitors. This year the program will be free to those entitled to a copy. Elaborate set-pleces, of a patriotic nature, bombs, rockets and all sorts of modern fireworks will constitute the display to be given the grand Army veterans on the night of September 3, and will be from barges anchored near the foot of Belle Isle, in plain view: of those on the island, on either shore ll:lnd‘ln boats below the point of the.is- By using barges for the entire dis- play, the committee hopes to avoid ac- cident of any kind to spectators.

A Quincy, Mass., woman who wad at Innsbruck, Austria, when the war broke out writes home as follows: “Shortly after midnight, came the first outbreak of enthusiasm over the Servian-Austrian war and news came of Russ intervention for Servia. Bands played up and down the streets, followed by mobs of soldiers ang natives. Today it is all excitement here. War bulletinis are passed to us every couple of hours and this noom when the publication was made of the skirmish =at Eelgrade, the bands marched again and thousands followed, cheering, singing, etc. > . “The feeling uppermost ndw is indig, nation at Germany, that she forced Austria to send drastic terms to Ser- Via, that the latter might refuse, and so_Russia would help Servia. German$ is in the alliancé with Austria and thus Germany gets the war with Russia she wants.
