As early a* 9 o’clock this morning fife and dram corps began to make their appearance on tie Circle, which has been roped off from traffic. The first one to rut in appearance was the fife and drum corps of the Garfield post of Wichita. Kas., and large crowds gathered around the veterans on the soath steps of the monument as they played the old-time Civil War tunes. Over at the Statehouse the fife and drum corps of the G. A.

Girl Scouts End Camp Fire Girls struggled for the honor of directing the visitors, escorting them to conveyances and carrying their baggage. cf the noticeable featur-*s of the return of the veterans was that,*unlike last year, they came not as strangers (Continued on Page Two.)
