p. 6. A meeting of German war veterans was held at Schoenhofen's hall yesterday, at which the founding of a new veterans society was discussed. The preliminaries concluded, the new organization received its name. It will be known as the German Veterans' Society of Chicago. Thirty-six former German soldiers, who served in any of the three wars of 1864-1866-1870, enlisted immediately as members of the organization. Fourteen others have sent written requests for their membership.

The meeting was attended by a large number of members of various military societies.
