SPEAKS FOR NEBRASKA MOTHERS.


Omaha, June 12.-Mothers OF Me-
braska soldier boys in the Philippines
are protesting against the hardships
which the First Nebraska regiment
was compelled to endure from the time
the boys reached Manila until two
weeks ago.
Mrs. f. Il. White. president OF the
Ladies' auxiliary to the Thurston rifles,
speaking for the mothers of the Ne
braska boys. says:
The object in sending the dispatch
TO Manila, Boys, don't re-enlist: insist
on immediate discharge, should be
plain. IL was proposed 10 ask the boys
10 re-enlist for six months, when the
First Nebraska had been held con-
stantly on the firing line since Febru-
ary 4, and the Thurston rifles, which
went out with 106 men, had at Malolos
but twenty-eight effective men, with
every commissioned officer wounded or
sick. still Gen. Otis held them on the
firing line.
We are told by dispatches from Ma
Mia that on May 20 the regiment had
but 315 effective men. Under this con-
slant strain and splendid devotion who
is there to question the loyalty of the
mothers OF these boys?"
