| equal to something besides holiday parades in
| Fifth-ave. and company receptions at the armory
during the winter months One Of the men said
| TO a Tribune reporter Most folks have got the
! idea that we fellows are only good lor dress pa
rades and escorting the girls around bathrooms.
That's big mistake al least so lar as this regi-
nent ia concerned. The 9th Regiment made a
proud record for itself during the war. and we
younger men don't propose TO have that record
| lowered one peg fraction of peg We can
do our duty on dress parallels and in such like
affairs. but we pride ourselves that we will come
out strongest when it comes TO real downright
earnest scrap"
| Not a little of this enthusiasm among the rank
and file is due to the veterans Of the 9th who
| were almost as numerous around the armory as
the young men Ex-Lieutenant-ColonelJ John y.
Prycr said TO Tribune reporter The 9Th Regi
ment is a fighting regiment from way back. y
number of the old officers like myself have been
here to-day to see if our services were needed
We are ready TO shoulder the musSct with any
Of them II necessary, over 40 veterans OF the
9th Regiment could be enlisted to-day, and there
ar. $50 veterans of the old SD Regiment who
uou,d march to the scene Of trouble. But, bless
vour soul. these young fellows won't let us. They
want all the fuss 10 their own exclusive selves
The officers and men were AT the armory all
dav and evening, ready at moments nouoe y"
march n any point. The men spoken u all en-
