XTOLUNTEER SOLDIERS
have always held a high
place in the estimation OF
the American people, for on them
has always been the reliance Of the
people in time Of war. No volunteers
were ever more affectionately re-
garded than those who went to the
front in 1898. when the call came
from President Mckinley. Every
state in the west was prompt IN dis
patching It's quota. though few OF the
western saw much fighting until the
war with Spain was over. In the
Philippine instruction the western
troops bore the brunt, and out of their
service there grows the National
Society Of tho Army Of the Philip
pines, which is celebrated IN the com
ing number Of The Illustrated Bee.
0LD GLORY Is ever uppermost IN
the mind Of the patriotic citi-
zen. For a frontispiece In It's next num-
Der The illustrated Bee Will have a fine
picture Of a battle flag and the man
who bore II through a long and bloody
campaign in Luzon. Il Is made from
a photograph taken after the return
3 of the regiment from the islands, and
shows palmer than words can tell
ravages OF hostile rain n wind and
shot in the tropics. It will give an
excellent idea Of what the volunteers
went through in their campaign across
the sea.
cOcIEY OF THE ARMY OF THE PHIL
,IPPINES is the. name Of an orr
gnnization Of members OF the Eighth
army corps-those fellows you have
noticed wearing thai queer looking
badge-the men who fought in the
swamps and jungles and rice fields OF
Luzon. 1t wal formed shortly after
the return OF the regiments from
the Philippines and held its FIRST
reunion last year at Denver. It's
second reunion will be held next week
at Council Bluffs. A special article
In The Illustrated Bee gives some in
formation about the society, and is
illustrated from photographs Of a
number OF noted soldiers who are
connected with 1t.

the subject OF Frank G.. Carpen.,
ter's letter. Mr.. Carpenter writes
