THE 56TH REGIMENT
would GO first
rendered Their Services to the Gov
eminent in the Event of War
At Any Time.

The article in yesterdays Free
manTribune in which it was men
toned that the Fifty-sixth regiment
had several years ago offered thei,
services for foreign work has
brought many comments from civil
war veterans. Captain Martin was
Informed that this offer made by the
regiment would undoubtedly be the
first accepted in the event of wal
with Mexico or other countries
This regiment was the first to offer
their services. Next in line came
the Seventh New York and then the
other three Iowa regiments. An in
cident is given by a civil war vet
eran in which he states that sim
liar offer was made by a company at
Dubuque before the civil war and
the Dubuque company was the first
troop called in the United States
with the exception of the regular
army.
Some people are prone to make
light of the I. N. G. boys, intimat-
ing that they would not make good
soldiers. However, there is no rea-
son for such view. The boys of
today are just as patriotic
and just as courageous as
were their fathers of fifty years
ago and if the occasion presents it.
self they will demonstrate that they
can do actual service with credit to
themselves and to their country.
True, they are practically all young
men-mere boys, but the union
army was made up of that kind of
material and no better army in the
history of the world ever went forth
to victor If we ever have war
with any ,ation the national guards
all over he country will demon
strate to the world that the Ameri-
can volunteer soldier is still a top
notcher, in any and every position
in which he may be placed.

A Free Ticket to japan.

Everybody should hear the lect.
ure at the Congregational church
| Wednesday evening at eight o'clock
for it will be like free ticket to
Japan. Since Columbus sailed his
caravels westward to discover Japan,
the Kingdom Of the Rising Sun has
been an object of interest to the rest
of the world. Recently Japan has
broken into international life. All
the world is bound to become &C
quainted with her people and her
policies. We have our Japanese land
problem in California, and unscrup-
ulous politicians do not hesitate to
manufacture political capital out Of
a fictitious war scare between the
United States and Japan. The lect-
ure tomorrow evening will be by DR..
H. B. Newell who has spent a quar-
ter Of century in Japan studying
social, political and religious condi-
tions. He knows Japan as Webster
City people know Iowa. Here is an
excellent opportunity to gain first
hand information about the strange
new neighbors on our west, to learn
whether war or peace is likely be-
tween the United States and Japan.
The lecture will be interesting and
instructive to the membership of all
the churches of the city as we'll as
to the different missionary societies.
Being held off the regular prayer
meeting night, will afford an oppor-
tunity to everybody to attend. Adj
mission will be free and there will
be no collection. The lecture will
be illustrated by steropticon views
of Japan its people and their pict-
uresque costumes. Eight o'clock is
the hour and everybody is invited.

would seem that this city is getting
at least a few of those driven from
