Mrs. W. S. Parks accompanied our soldier boys as far as Monticello when they started for Fort Benjamin Harrison, and being a visitor in Indianapolis , Sunday, she intended visiting the camp. She has kindly given U 3 an idea of the magnitude of the crowd that surrounded the encampment grounds. Fort Benjamin Harrison is 11 or 12 miles from the city and so conjested was the entire way that when the party of which Mrs. Parks was a member, were two miles from the grounds, they could get no farther and were surounded by such a mass of automobiles that they were held several hours and were compelled to go many miles out of their way to reach ‘home. She was muen disappointed in not getting to see the home boys in camp. In 'the letter which Major Healey wrote for The Republican he mentioned seeing only four persons from home. No dount there were others who would have been there had it been possible.
