THE NATIONAL HYMN.
A Protest Against Certain Persons

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
The continued carping at THE Star

national hymn. has evidently impressed

INSPECTION OF NEBRASKA
NATIONAL GUARD

LINCOLN-The inspection of the
National Guard by Captain Frank A..
Wilcox of the Thirtieth United States
infantry will begin February 26. Ad-
jutant General Culver issued orders to
the various companies, notifying them
when and where to assemble for the
inspection. The inspection this year
will be one of the most rigid the
guard has ever undergone and the fact
that the department at Washington is
at this time taking more interest in
the National Guard than ever before
has led to the circulation of many ru-
mors.
1t is talked by military men, though
General Culver refused to discuss the
matter, that the government has asked
many important questions regarding
the National Guard lately, among them
how long it would take to mobilize the
troops and how well they are equip
ped. BY some this great interest be-
ing manifested by the government is
taken to mean that demonstration is
going to be made in China or the gov.
eminent is getting in shape to be
ready to make demonstration should
such a course be necessary.

Sufferers from ailments that have af-
