greeting to the men who have
faithfully, heroicaily done their
duty on the field Of battle and
have never allowed the stars
and stripes to be tfalled In the
dust. Many Of them have been
wounded in the service. but it
has always been with their faces

and the state OF Washington feel
proud OF the regiment. Load the
cannon, lay in big supply Of
rockets. Roman candies and
bombs, order cut the brass bands

welcome should DC compounded

Star proposes that a public sub

defray the expenses OF the jubilee.

allow the other cities Of the
