Wants n Change.

Serg't John w. Stevens, Co. B, S7th
Ind, living at Oak Park, ILL.,, wants
some of the long war stories of the COM
rades, which he declares are told only
To be disputed by some comrade in the
next issue OF The National Tribune, cut
out. He says there is plenty of glory
hung up in the reports of our officers
for all of the comrades, and that it
took all of them to turn the trick on
Johnston and Lee. On the other hand,
Comrade Stevens suggests that the pro-
gram be changed and that every COM
radc who is reader of The National
Tribune tell the meanest thing he did
while in the service during the war.
Comrade Stevens makes a suggestion
that each of these send cents to the
editor, to be put in one jackpot as prize
money, to be given to the comrade who
tells the meanest story, and that John
McElroy act as prize judge. CThs is an
office which the editor OF The National
Tribune must positively decline, but
send on the stories.) Comrade Stevens
closes by saying: My best regards to
all old coffee-coolerS."

L. w. Richardson, First Lieutenant,
6Sth Ohio, Defiance, o., wants The Ma
tfonal Tribune to live forever to tell
the unwritten history of the great strug-
gle. The Blue and the Gray are now
on friendly terms, and we are giving
thru The National Tribune the most
interesting and correct story of the war
possible to be written. He celebrated
the S0th anniversary of his birth Dec.
25, and can read The National Tribune
without glasses. He is a pretty good
sprinter yet, and believes that he could
again make the march from Atlanta
to the sea on schedule time If he
should make the trip again he would
be satisfied with the same fare and ra-
tons that his brigade had.

Sure He Is Even With Them.

SAYS that he is now II years old and
knows how rebel lead feels. He is
quite sure, however, that he got even
with them on that score. He is today
a friend Of the Confederates and quit
fighting them when Lee surrendered,
since which time his right hand has
ever gladly met theirs. He is panied to
see so many men who should think
otherwise voting against justice to the
veterans of the country. and forgetful
of what it cost them to make the
country what it is, but the boys have
few shots left in their cartridge boxes,
and they VII make them tell at the
next election.

Frank d. Tinelli, Lieutenant. 18th N.

n. j., writes strongly in favor of forti-
flying the Panama Canal. We do not
leave our great cities open to any cas-
ual invasion, and the same rule covers
the Panama Canal. 1t has cost lot
of money to build. and why should we
not defend it properly as we would our
seaboard cities. We could not afford
to neglect our seaports and have our
whole fleets guarding the ends of the
canal. Our commerce has also got to
be protected.
