Transcriber's Notes:
Page 16, "Eight" changed to "Eighth" (Seventh, Eighth, E, and)
Page 47, "Amphitheatre" changed to "Amphitheater" to match photo
caption (Amphitheatre, Arlington)
Page 47, the numbers were cut off of the original image on the final
column of the Table of Contents. All but one of the numbers could be
ascertained by checking the original. The entry for the War Department
was unclear as it was clearly a single number, but the War Department
shows up on pages 15 and 18. These were both included in the Table of
Contents.
